Am I missing it? Is the one check fee reimbursement allowed for July?

Re: JULY HEAT WAVE: New Overdrive Club VIP Program, $100,000 Rake Race, 125 Seats to $125k and
most horrible month of promos I've ever seen.
These promos cater to the everyday player
[ ] any of them
These promos cater to regular SnG players
[ ] any of them
These promos cater to high volume Super Turbo SnG players
[x] all of them

What is the point of playing on RPM if they give us nothing back? In all seriousness.

Im back in Europe from one semester in US. At european peek time is on Merge terrible traffic but i was still playing because of promos. When I saw July promos somewhere in my mind just start one song

Btw I still hope that these "promos" are one big bad joke and they give us some normal ones.

Was hoping this was some late April Fools joke or something. Cause this would be a good joke. Anyone noticed they removed King of the Road and the old Overdrive club?

Re: JULY HEAT WAVE: New Overdrive Club VIP Program, $100,000 Rake Race, 125 Seats to $125k and
Hmm, so there are no daily promos, no bonuses, and in order to get Overdrive or Top Gear you have to switch to the VIP program - which would reset all of your levels from RB.
If in July RPM had allowed a free switch to the VIP program as one giant promo, it would somehow make sense but this lack of promos is completely awful.
here is absolutely no reason to play X number of hands at any time, and one has to game select the hell out of it, to counteract this -EV move by RPM. Given the low player pool as it is, one might as well take a month off. This is the only move RPM management will understand, as the promos do contribute to our winnings in more ways than they seem to think, and are always smaller than the rake. Even with the 100K ticket/10k hands promo was initially used to make sure the 100k Guaranteed has a sufficient number of players.

Definitely the worst month for promos so far. RPM is making it easier for me to play on the other network.

I think this might be a product of so many tournaments not meeting their guarantees. Whenever I'm playing I see overlay after overlay on the announcement pop pups. How about just lower the guarantees a tad and give us back our promos?

Same too, I only stayed last month because of the promos and I had hope it would of continued. Waiting until Lock stabilizes until I deposit there. It's just funny, Merge could of had the entire U.S. market, but they are complacent and satisfied with being mediocre.
Even though RPM did have good promos last month, they have been consistently taking away more from the higher volume players. They started many months ago, making the Overdrive Club less accessible, KOTR having more stricter requirements (Last month, you couldn't even attempt KOTR with the promos) and now both are removed. And this "new" VIP program is a joke.
Hopefully these next few months, the competition brings out the best in both companies.

Lock left and took a ton of traffic with them. Of course the promos and guaranteeds aren't going to remain constant. They're making less money with less traffic, not more.
I don't think it makes sense to complain about the inevitable ITT. We can, however, complain about whatever caused Lock to leave, and I'm almost positive part of it is Merge management's incompetence.

This is a ridiculous assessment. Sure, less traffic means less games, but that shouldn't effect promos because A. There is a smaller amount of $$$ to be paid out that scales with less traffic and B. Promos are harder to obtain if there are less games running.
