Bugsys Club Poker Room Shuts Down!

[vacant1]

 I used to play here a few years ago, wasn't a huge place with tons of players but the games were great. Bugsys Club started as the online poker room component of popular poker content portal PokerPages. The room never quite got the type traction that would have allowed it to become a major site, but remained popular with a small core of regular users due to generous promotions and solid support. However, Bugsys had been having increasingly severe difficulty with payment processors over the last year, and it was apparently those difficulties that led to the closing of the room.Bugsys has reportedly reached a deal with PokerStars .com to transfer all existing player balances from Bugsys over to PokerStars. This will not doubt be seen as a silver lining in the announcement for some players who have endured lengthy waits for cashouts at Bugsys in recent months.From a statement on BugsysClub.com:

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control with regards to banking facilities, it is with regret that we have to announce it is no longer viable for the Bugsys Club Poker Room to continue our business operations. However, we are delighted to inform you that Bugsys Club have reached an agreement with the worlds largest online poker site, PokerStars.com, to allow all Bugsys Club players to transfer your account balance over to their site Atleast they are going out the way other places should and making sure to take care of their players money accounts.
