My account was closed today. 10:30AM. I only have 1 account there and most definitely did bonus whore. Apparently I won't be doing that anymore. (sarcasm to follow) I wish there were other online sites out there, now I can't play anywhere else....

Morons.

Yes, more details please.

Were you signed up under and affiliate? Did you ONLY bonus whore there? How did you learn your account was closed? It it was via email, can you please post the email? I assume you also have a Party account... any other skins?

I'm not certain this applies, but this is straight from Empire's Promotion Terms and Conditions ():

I opened my Empire account perhaps a year ago. I already had a Party account and did the account signup from a clean machine as is per the norm.

I basically used Empire soley as a bonus chasing site. Deposit, reap, withdraw. I probably did this 3 to 4 times in the past 6 months.

The only notification I received was an email from this morning, BUT IT WASN'T FROM EMPIRE. The email was from IGM-PayPro indicating that my withdrawl request was in processing.

I made no request.

Even odder still was the amount, $5. I believe I had less than $1 in the account. Last week, I did receive the email about today's 1-day only bonus, so I was quite perplexed.

I went home at lunch and tried to logon and got the messagebox popup indicating my account was frozen and to call a certain number. I have as yet not called, nor do I plan to.

Also, I DID NOT deposit any cash there, however based on the timing of the email from IGM-PayPro, I bet I could have this morning and potentially have been screwed. That however, is just speculation at this point.

Crazy shit.

I was planning on getting Empire's bonus, but from the controversy at 2+2 and now this ... it does even seem worth it.

This seems like the perfect time to open a "NEW" account at EMPIRE.
Never got around to it...

OK. TP, I downloaded from your link and set up an account....
When I finish with the STARS bonus I'll put some cash in to Empire...

Wait, but if you already have an account, you might get burned.

Good luck. Should be interesting to see how this goes.

I wonder what's actually going on. From what BB wrote, sounds like they are out to get the bonus-only people... ie, people who play at Party primariyl, and bonus whore only at empire.

Just a guess.
