Fraud Prevention Upgrade (Buying Points)

Due to an increase in users buying points (From Trial Pay & Super Rewards) fraudulently, then trading them away to people, I am going to be placing restrictions anytime you buy points (Obviously long time, established members I will remove these restrictions).

If you bought points then you get sent to "Restricted points". If you are in restricted points, you cannot use the Marketplace, Loan Shark (You can ask for a loan, but not give loans) and you have a CAP of 500 points per day you can deposit into the Poker Client.

The Marketplace and Loanshark message will read "Sorry, you have recently purchased points. Due to a large amount of fraud in users buying points, you are not able to trade them in anyway, shape or form until you get approval from Zab after you are an established member. New Users - you will not get approval that quickly. Buying points is to be used for personal use."

The Poker Client message will read "Sorry, you have recently purchased points. Due to a large amount of fraud in users buying points you will have a maximum deposit amount of 500 points per day. Once you are an established member, you can contact Zab to get this restriction lifted"

Just to be clear, this is directed those people that are buying points specifically from Trial Pay and Super Rewards ONLY

So if you are confused, then it will not affect you. If you know what ZAB speaks of, then you are most likely not going to like this. Sorry. I am down for anything that nips fraud in the bud. It only hurts the honest people who really want to play by the rules and be fair.

seems like a good plan. make sure people are not scamming for points and gets the new members involved so they get to know the site better. keep up the good work zab

Hi guys, I wasn't sure where to put this so I figured I'd put it here since I am not yet able to post new threads. Can you guys tell me the best place to buy points with PayPal? Is there a better deal than Matomy?

Trial Pay or from a member, check the marketplace.

I'm 100% on feedback, have never done anything remotely shady, and have been here for a decent period of time and I'm pretty sure if I were to buy points I wouldn't be able to use the marketplace or client. It's for this very reason I stopped buying points. It's just a hassle, plus I've found you can get a better deal trading with someone.

Your best rate if buying with your debit card is to go through trial pay. $2 = 500 pnts. I would only recommend this in a pinch. And yea afterwards you will be limited to parts of the site you can use.

I have fallen into the 1% category Zab and would rather have not even had the "option" of buying the points, if they are going to be "restricted", I only found out about "restrictions" once I purchased.

I like this idea. It sounds like a good way to do it. I'm sure it will help things.
