**NEGATIVE Feedback Thread (for Marketplace and all Subforums)**

I would like to respond to this public accusation because the situation is being presented in a very misleading way.

First of all, I was removed from the stable **without any prior warning, discussion, or opportunity to resolve the situation**. There was no communication or attempt to find a solution. Instead, I was suddenly removed and, within a day, this public post was made, which clearly looks intended to damage my reputation rather than resolve the matter professionally.

During my time in the stable:

* I played **1600+ tournaments**
* I generated around **$8, 000 in profit** for the stable
* I provided all requested audits and documents at all times
* There was **no meaningful coaching structure, learning system, or consistent communication** from the stable side

Regarding the alleged “debt”:

* I **transferred back all remaining funds** in my balance (latest transfer: **$63**, sent two days ago).
* The claimed ~$100 debt is based on **only a few over-limit tournaments** across more than **1600 tournaments played**, which is completely disproportionate considering the total profit generated.
* I was **never given a clear option to resolve this privately** before this accusation was posted publicly.

This situation is extremely disappointing. After contributing significant profit and volume, I was removed without notice and immediately exposed to a public accusation instead of professional communication.

I remain open to a **fair and reasonable resolution**, but public reputation attacks are not the correct way to handle disagreements in a professional staking environment.

You were offered to pay off your debt and given time to make a decision. You refused, after which this post was published.
You yourself just confirmed that you were gambling above the limits.

I need to clarify the situation again because it is still being presented in a misleading way.

I was **not given real or reasonable time to resolve anything**. I was suddenly informed that I was being removed from the stable without proper warning, discussion, or a fair resolution process. From my side, I was simply continuing to play normally, and then I was unexpectedly removed and immediately presented with a claimed “debt” that I was expected to pay right away.

It is important to look at the full context:

* Over the last **3 months**, I played **1600+ tournaments**
* I generated approximately **$8, 000 in profit** for the stable during this period
* The alleged debt is based on **only a few over-limit tournaments** out of this entire volume
* In previous situations, **over-limit play was effectively ignored or balanced out when tournaments were profitable**, which makes the sudden strict reaction inconsistent and difficult to understand

Additionally, there was:

* **No real coaching structure or promised support**
* **Very limited communication**
* **Immediate removal followed by a public accusation instead of a normal internal resolution**

I also **returned all remaining funds that were in my balance**, including the most recent transfer.

The factual timeline is simple:
I was removed first, then instantly assigned a debt, and expected to pay it immediately - without a fair process, proper discussion, or genuine time to handle the situation.

Curious to read this whole amount of blaming SVpoker after asking many times to let stay with us after the contract was being terminated.
Anyway, you gave the word Paul, not only signed the contract but gave your word in the chat on 28th of January as it is seen on the screen. You didn't keep it, so I don't think anybody will be taking any agreement with you seriously.

Yes, I am speaking honestly about SVPoker because of how this situation was handled.

You knew that after my effort and results, I was waiting for the promised promotion to the next level, where more information, different coaches, and better structure were supposed to be provided. That is why I continued working and waiting.

Yes, I gave my word.
But you never said that I would be removed suddenly without any given time or deadline to resolve the situation. I was removed unexpectedly while still actively working and generating profit, and immediately pressured to pay amounts while I was still part of the stable.

I played many tournaments for you and earned significant money for the stable.
This is the full context that should not be ignored.

About the four over-limit tournaments, I want to explain it in a simple and honest way.

Mini Super Tuesday was previously allowed — I even have proof — so it was logical for me to think that similar tournaments were also allowed.

Regarding Warm-Up and similar events: many tournaments of this type were allowed dozens of times. On PokerStars, tournament names change almost every day, but the structures stay the same, so it was natural to treat similar formats as allowed.

Regarding the bounty tournaments, the situation involved only a minimal difference in buy-in, and at the next level I would normally already be permitted to play this buy in. I was also expecting a promotion based on my volume, results, and previous communication. Also, mistakes can sometimes happen in any long working relationship. It might be missread of buy in or missclick. However, immediately kicking a player out and assigning debt because of such a situation feels extreme and disproportionate, especially considering the overall volume, results, and contribution.

And the $0.50 hyper-only rule is very hard to understand. When a player gets promoted, they are allowed to play $15+ hypers, but here even a $0.50 hyper becomes a reason for removal.
To treat a player this way — after 1600+ tournaments, about $8, 000 profit in 3 months, constant effort, and positive results — feels extremely unfair and disproportionate.

I was simply removed out of nowhere, instantly given a debt, and this was posted publicly right away.

We began working with Luis Alberto Castronuovo in September 2022.

In early 2026, Luis gave us an ultimatum of increased limits or he'd stop working with us (he did this while in makeup).

We declined to increase his limits and Luis Alberto Castronuovo agreed to a payment plan on the remaining makeup.

When the first payment date came Luis Alberto Castronuovo disappeared and refused to respond to messages.

Luis Alberto owes us $1.6k.

We began working with Tomasz Kardas in December 2025.

From the start Tomasz wasn't playing within the allowed limits.

During a normal audit we noticed that the player had withdrawn $1,000 and sent us modified screenshots to cover up his actions.

Due to his actions and breach of contract we offered to let him buyout his makeup and terminate the contract, but he failed to do so.

Tomasz Kardas owes us $11.2k.

A lot of harsh words about me here so please let me address that and hear my side of the story.

I am known in the poker world as kardi31, I've been playing poker for a few years, the last 2 years full-time professionally.
Despite great results in 2025, I ran into financial problems at the end of the year and I was looking for a way to continue my poker journey with external funding, hoping I could rebuild my bankroll and make a living being staked.
Unfortunately it turned out I was put in a position that it was impossible to succeed.
I applied to Standard Backing and on 26th December I received an initial offer. After 4 days of waiting for a reply to my concerns, I decided to sign an agreement as it was, allowing me to play on GG and the site they promoted called Champion.
After I signed the agreement it turned out that nobody verified that Champion is not eligible in my country. So I ended up allowed to play on GG only.
Being limited to just one site, with restrictive limits and me often playing off-peak hours, I was down to very few tournaments I could play. My morning sessions usually contained a total of 8 tournaments (down from 12-16 tables at once which I played before on my own) as there were nothing more to choose from and I refused to play $2-$3 tournaments or below (6hrs of play for $50 up top, no thanks).
I kept complaining to SB staff so they could add more sites or games into the allowance but they kept refusing.
I had to start playing evening sessions to get enough tournaments. It forced me to play big field tournaments with high variance. Unfortunately this variance wasn't on my side, to say nicely. I was finally able to put on a proper session, but with $800 reload and approx $500 in buyins for the evening session, I had to request reload often. It took 1-2 days for SB staff to do a reload so I couldn't play a session for 2 days in a row but wait for reload instead.
They were complaining about me playing out-of-allowance tournaments and at that time it was caused mostly by GG not showing the number of reentries in a tournament lobby anymore. I was also sometimes adding 1-2 tournaments in the morning so I have anything to play at all.

On 20th January I was already down approx 6k. Here are my PT4 stats for that period.

If this is not an example of "I run bad" then I don't know what is. I asked them to take a look at my tournaments and hand histories and see I play quite well and run very bad. Unfortunately SB staff only cared about me not making them profit.
I requested a limit assessment and (again and again) that they add more sites and they allow some smaller field tournaments to reduce the variance.
8 days later (sic!) they finally replied, refusing to change my limits but adding WPN skin called Poker Kings.
I finally could add a few smaller field tournaments into my schedule and I was hoping to turn things around.
Unfortunately the run bad continued.

On 12th February they unanimously decided to significantly lower my tournament limits (without any communication from their side). It made playing morning sessions impossible and evening sessions were much tougher to find any tournaments.
All my comments trying to highlight the problems I am encountering and that it will increase my variance even further were ignored. My avg field size already changed from 500 runners previous year to 1.4k runners this year.
I also pointed out that the games they put me in are just not working out, again no joy.
With a tough heart I said ok and asked for a reload. For 4 days they forgot to tell me I had to reply to an email with "I agree" in order to get a reload. I missed the whole Saturday and Sunday of APT on GG because of that.

I was trying to follow the new guidelines and asked for a larger reload the following week. We had an allowance to play $290 and a few $100 and $50s from APL series that week so I needed extra bankroll. On Thursday 19th I received a reload of a total $300 dollars because I misplayed 3 games last week. It was the 3rd weekend in a row that was ruined by SB actions (or lack of).

At that point I decided enough is enough. I was down infinite money, I was constantly talking to the walls, I was put in high variance games and my sessions were constantly ruined. Instead of worrying about playing the best way I can, I had to worry literally about everything else and then hope to play my A game. I withdrew some money from PokerKings and moved it to GG. I started playing the games I wanted (no higher than $54 buyin). Surprise surprise, that week I stopped losing and finally won my first 2 tournaments of the year. Not much but it was a start.

On 28th February SB asked me to stop playing and send them back the money I had in my poker clients. On GG I did instantly, they took the money from PokerKings on their own and I sent them the remaining $1k I transferred without their authorization from PokerKings to GG (and lost after) few days later. Yes, at that point I was approx 11k in makeup. They wanted to talk to me but never did. Instead I received the following message a few days later.

As they offered, I chose option 1. I was trying to get some funds outside of poker so I can pay them what they want and we can close a failed chapter called Standard Backing. Unfortunately I did not manage to secure enough money to pay what they asked. Few days later I provided them with an update as below.

Not surprised it was completely ignored.

To sum things up - I believe I did absolutely everything in my power to succeed on the tables and create a success story during my cooperation with Standard Backing. I have serious concerns about SB doing the same. Many, many sessions ruined, extremally high variance games I was put in, complete lack of communication on multiple occasions combined with them working really slowly.

Did I transfer money without their permission? - YES, $1k
Did I steal this money? - NO
Was this money used to play poker? - YES
Did I provide fake screenshots to cover the money transfer? - YES
Did they receive this money back - YES

As I said in my last message to Ian, I will pay what they asked ($2.8k) regardless of this thread once my financial situation improves a bit.

I've been around the poker industry for a few years, doing multiple financial transactions with different players and companies. I never stole and never scammed, never did and never will. Many people can vouch for that. Neither did I stole on this occasion. I did everything in my power to succeed and win money in poker and today, although defeated, I can look in the mirror without a blink of an eye. Hope you guys can say the same.

❓ What happened

After being accepted into the Moon Staking stable and receiving a bankroll, the player initially performed very well, generating profit and showing strong results.

However, during the third month, communication started to decline. She became less responsive, stopped providing regular updates and statistics, and overall engagement dropped significantly.

At one point, we discovered that she had withdrawn the entire bankroll, including the initial funds and part of the generated profits.

When confronted, she acknowledged the withdrawal, stating that she needed the money and would do her best to repay it. Since then, it has been over a month, and she has stopped responding entirely across all communication channels.
