    On ipoker you can transfer money to another poker player, they wouldn't have been able to go straight to their own bank, ipoker covers a lot of sites like boyle's, will hill, powers etc. So you can log in and send all the money to another player which is what i think happened
    i'm not sure but i believe you can only transfer to an account on the same skin.

    ipoker don't do p2p transfers anymore to prevent money laundering and issues like this. And like PuntersAdvice said, it was only the same skin you could transfer to. If you want to transfer p2p now, you have to contact support and ask them to do the transfer so they can check everything out.

    I'm not saying you are lying about this situation, it's just something doesn't add up.

    I have only being speculating on what might have happened,they suspended my account straight after I informed them and haven't given me any details. All I got to check was my sportsbook and poker/casino account, i didn't get into the history of the account just seen the money was transferred there, I guessed p2p transfer because I didn't know you can't do them anymore.

    I realise you said you scanned your computer with an antivirus software but that does not guarantee you are 100% secure.

    If you don't have your router secured someone can access that easy enough from what I understand and through that they can access everything on your computer.

    If you want to guarantee this does not happen again format the computer, get a top quality antivirus, secure the router, change your passwords on everything and never log into your accounts from an internet cafe/friends computer or on a public wifi connection.

    There are too many little ****heads out there that know how to access your computer if you don't take these security measures.

    Someone must have logged into ur computer when u werent there and blew ur cash.
    Explains why they arent bothered because if its from ur usual ip it really isnt their problem, but if it came from a different ip
    its scary if they wouldnt investigate.I have multiple accounts across poker and betting sites never even heard or thought of
    this happening to me .

    There's nothing about that in his recent posts. Where did you see it?

    Hi, haven't been online because I moved country. But yeah I got it back, got an email saying "new evidence" had been uncovered and I had to sign some forms and take pictures and send them back to them, I didn't ask them to many questions I don't know what they where playing at really, I had to open a new account and the money was put in there, but just happy to get it back. Have a few hundred on in open bets i've to remember and inform them of them if they come up. Cheers for the input I got off here, I think the contact with the guards and with the Isle of man gaming commisson and constant pressure I tried to put on got it refunded
