The site is a total shambles right now and I'm not at all just speaking regarding the rake race situation, which I don't particularly care about. I feel embarrassed that I recommended the site to various individuals. I'm moving on, and I'm advising my students to do the same.

Hi,

Sorry about the late replies in this forum. I've been traveling, then got the flu last week, and I'm still just recovering.

The Linxpoints races were taken down to try some other promotions. They will most likely come back. What we've found are that the races are very important to some players, but not at all important to a lot. Some kind of balance has to be found. They aren't gone forever, just for now.

Best regards,
Lydia

They aren't important to me directly, i don't play a tonne of hands so i usually make <1k/month, but i think it affects the eurolinx economy hugely

The rakeback pros will not play without it (certain high volume players have not been spotted this month, should be obvious who) and the other regulars do not play cos the RB pros are not there to provide an extra 'mark' in the game, hence i don't play cos there are no games running.

Please Lydia, reccomend the reintroduction of rake races in March, it affects almost everyone, directly or indirectly

Translation,
The linxpoints races were taken down to save us $. They will probably come back if people stop playing in February because of it. We have found that the rake races are very important to high volume players who make our site the most $. They are gone until people get pissed enough.

So introducing a high priced watch to a few people instead of rake races to more people isnt the answer

Hi,

I'm surprised by how ugly this thread has gotten. When another site stops a promotion that seems to have run its course, do they get these types of responses too? If a retail store ends a 20% off sale after running for over a year, do they get rocks thrown through their windows?

The purpose of us having a forum on 2+2 is to further open the lines of communication between the community here and Eurolinx. It is to share ideas so that our company can better serve your needs. It is not to offer a punching bag for 2+2ers to attack with all the reasons they may dislike poker rooms.

Your displeasure at the races ending this month is noted. We have other promotions running right now, and it's likely we'll bring the races back at some point in the future. I don't see this thread progressing into anything productive, so I'm going to use my mod privileges and try to figure out how to lock it.

As a last thought: people here seem to have a misconception about how profitable poker rooms are. If you think about the math for a bit, you'll see that, like any business, we cannot sell our product at cost. Just like other businesses, we have overhead and fees and, if we do manage to pull a profit at the end of the month, we like to spend that money on development and marketing so that we can get more customers. If you don't pull a profit, you end up with Tusk.

Best regards,
Lydia
