This is suspicious. I've been emailing customer support at the online poker site www.cafrino.com and there have been no replies.

The emails were about why my "cash outs" for various tournament wins have not been processed. This is not big money... only about $20 plus change.

Also, they are not scheduling their nightly $50 free play tournaments.

The site has had its problems including a lack of interest and difficulty getting enough players to fill the free games.

The site does not charge any money to play and is advertiser supported and runs commercials and shows ads during play, and the ads are supposed to finance various pays to players. To be honest, the number of ads has been few.

I would think that especially during a holiday period when many people are at home that they would step up their tournament action -- and not cut it. I would also think there would have been more advertising during the holiday shopping period but there wasn't.

Is Cafrino.com in trouble?
