Walker poker is the same owners as Wingows poker. They are trying to pull a fast one on the wingows members. The wingows on the DGN software are being moved to Walker poker. I did include the info in my newsletter on Wednesday letting members know that it could be a way to at least get your cash out of the old wingows.


A cpoy of the press release. Even though I know it is BS since they owned Wingows in the first place.


Online Poker room Walker Poker takes over Wingows Gaming assets
 

Walker Poker, operated by Colkom Inc. announced today, 06/12/2008 that it is taking over the assets of Wingows Gaming, including Wingows Poker player's database. The migration will offer Wingows Poker players around the clock action, massive bonuses and big tournaments with massive overlays.


Wingows Poker has been online since 2006, operating on the Dobrosoft network. At the end of 2006, Dobrosoft has been sold to Panama/Canada based company Digital Gaming Network (DGN). At the end of 2007, Dobrosoft took over the company again, after DGN failed to operate the network. A few weeks afterwards it became clear that a fraud activity and embezzlement in ESCROW money, which have been deposited to ensure player's funds, has taken place by former network operators.
The network embezzlement in ESCROW money and player's money caused Wingows Poker significant personal loses and drove the company to a point it was forced to take actions in order to ensure the benefit of the players.


Wingows Poker was one of the only few poker rooms, which survived the terrible loss and compensated most of its players and affiliates from company's own money. "We tried to recover as much as possible but the loss was too big to handle at a short period of time. Most of the people got their money back from private company resources." Said an official at Wingows Gaming.
According to unofficial sources, Wingows Poker lost more than $500,000 in player's money in the period when DGN operated the network, not including lost of rakes for that period. "We have come to a point where the network lacks the liquidity to recover itself and player's money. Walker Poker ensured that it will do its best to help in recovering old funds". Said an official at Wingows Gaming.


Walker Poker officials stated that the move will speed its growth and will help Wingows Poker players who lost money to get it back. "We have decided to contribute 25% of the income from Wingows Poker players back to the players and affiliates who didn't get their money. We believe most of the players and affiliates will get their money back in the first couple of months." Said Walker Poker CEO.


The migration of the players to Walker Poker will be done in stages. Walker Poker marketing director said "Walker Poker team will contact Wingows Poker affiliates to make sure they don't lose their players from the migration and will offer them a highly attractive deal to facilitate in the transition".


One of the questions that rose was what will happen with Wingows Poker players who have money in their accounts.  "This will be a "per player" situation. Walker Poker team will contact each and every player with funds in his account and will work out the best way to recover his funds", Said Colkom CEO.  "We promise that all Wingows Poker players who have funds in their accounts will receive special bonuses and incentives to join Walker Poker and help them get their money back and of course a better poker environment".
Walker Poker was established in 2007 and is operating on the Merge Gaming network and platform. Merge gaming is currently one of the only networks that accepts U.S players and is one of the fastest growing networks in the poker world. The network currently peaks 6,000 players online and 500-800 real money players. The network is expected to grow rapidly in the next couple of months as it is expected to integrate new poker rooms.


Walker Poker is offering highly attractive bonuses and tournaments. With a $750 free deposit bonus and tournaments of $10,000/$20,000 and $50,000 on a monthly basis and around the clock freerolls and guaranteed tournaments.

 ... you have never signed up just like me!

I got one, and I already have a Walker account.

[Hope2WinBig]

Yes, I also had an account with the New Wingows and when I received the Welcome to Walker Poker email, I researched and found that it was just  a buy out situation, etc. I have never even bothered logging onto the site after that.

[Bucnright]

Wasn't really a buy out they already owned Wingows but with all the bad press it got with DGN and DGS networks keeping player funds they came up with the new name Walker poker.

[nightmoves44]

Walker was bought by Wingows a few months ago,so I understand.So,they just switched you over.I cancelled my account there and will not play for several reasons,1,wingows didnt pay me from the 1st wingows,2,i really dont like merge and have too many merge sites already,3,Wingows needs to prove to me they can be trusted.

[puzzykat]
