I don't think there are any networks that pokerhost hasn't been on. They have been on revolution, merge seemes like they move every few months.

Love it, play on BCP and ACR, had a decent roll on Poker Host but hated EPN, glad to bring it all here

Wonder why....

Pokerhost is cool. They've called me every year wishing me a happy birthday on the correct dates. Even though I've found that to be pretty hilarious and unneeded, I appreciate the effort even if it's a simple 1 minute or less voice-mail.

Nice, does anyone know if P2P transfers are available on PH?

yeah i got an email from pokerhost the other day...was an ad for a 1milly gtd tournament and I assumed they had joined WPN.

cool i guess. didnt they have a decent amount of MTT traffic while on Merge?

I got some $ sent to me last week w/ a call too. I was all ready to move my roll as I found a good RB deal. I currently play on Bovada for 6max cash, 4 tabling. Would you suggest I move my roll on P.H./WPN or stay on Bovada? My main reason for leaving is their software and lack of RB. Not sure what to do. I'm reading all kinds of problems for WPN and it sounds worse than my current site.

If your a cash game player you should be fine. The problem is when it comes to tournaments because of lags and disconnects but if you disconnect or lag in a cash game it wouldn't be that big of a problem. Also don't expect much better software at PH/WPN. The good thing about your moving roll over is because of faster payouts if you use bitcoin or have their debit card you can cash out much faster than you would on Bovada. Checks roughly around a a week or 2.

If you are going to move from Bovada to WPN you might wanna make the change slowly. This forum says that Bovada is miles softer then WPN so the RB might not even be worth it unless you get the VIP deal where you can rake enough to get it worthwhile. WPN has midstaks regs playing at like 25nl at times so they can 24 table for the beast. It's not the best site as far as softness goes. If I had any other option worthwhile I'd take it in a heartbeat lol.

Thanks for the response guys, I've been posting w/ very little answers.

This is the RB deal I got:

1. straight 27% rakeback which is paid every week OR

2. 60% effective rakeback through my unlimited bonuses, loyalty points, medallion points and combat points which you can cash every tine you earn $5or $10.

"If u 4 table for 25 hours a week then the second option is a no brainer. You will definitely earn a lot more than 27%".

"while not as fishy as bovada, an expected effective RB of close to 60% based on your hours will more than make up for it".

Would you mind giving me a rough estimate based on a 5K hands played per week basis so I can figure out monthly totals?

"no idea but it will be a lot!
2000 raked at 60% effective will be $1200 in cash in addition to your regular winnings".

Could you tell me about deposit bonuses available to me?
"100% bonus up to $1000 plus unlimited reload bonuses for my players".

is there a time limit for me to clear the bonuses?
"30 days but my bonuses are unlimited so if one expires I will set you up for the second one". (Not too sure how this works)

What do you guys think of this deal?
I'm having so many issues 4tabling on Bovada and since switching to cash a few months back, I want to take advantage of RB. I plan on playing 1K hands a day, for 5 days a week at a minimum. I'd also like to be able to play more than 4 tables in the future. So far I'm looking at WPN and ACR.

The guy who PM'ed me and told me the offer is depechebkn.

Any thoughts are appreciated whether it be on certain site, other RB sites to visit, or RB posters you know and trust, good RB deals, etc.

edit: forgot to add
I asked him what the deadline date was to clear all bonuses.

"30 days but my bonuses are unlimited so if one expires I will set you up for the second one".
So I asked him after if I'd basically always clear my bonuses b/c he'd set me up w/ another one and he said yes.





So I have 3 questions...

1. Would you go for the RB if you were grinding 10/25NL and was aiming for 30 hrs/week minimum or stay on Bovada, mostly 2-4 tabling w/ this RB deal or stay on a softer site w/ more recs. but glitch software w/ no RB. I am going insane trying to make a decision.

2. If I get disconnected during a cash sess, will I be able to log in and be seated at my tables again automatically or would I have to sit at new tables again if my seat was taken by the time I relog? On Bovada, I have issues 4 tabling eventually (3 hours in) for no reason. I get tilted when I have a nice stack at a table, get kicked off and have to sit w/ a 100 BB's again regardless of if a seat remains open or not. When I get kicked off a table, there is no way for me to sit at that table again and have to pick a new table. Even if the seat is open. There is like a 5 minute wait. Even if I wait and the seat remains open, you can't sit w/ the stack you had. This has happened to me 5-7 times on Bovada in the last 2 weeks. That is the time for which I started 4 tabling. I also had 2 instances where the software just crashed on me. Twice in the last 3 -4 days. Very tilting.

3. For U.S. players I only see WPN and Bovada as sites for me. Am I missing any other sites?

Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate it.

I prefer the Winning Poker Network, specifically ACR skin.

ACR <3

...

Among the many other sites that readily accept US players that I sometimes play at is Sportsbetting.ag. Forget the network name but they are linked with "Full Flush" and "Betonline" I do believe, correct me if wrong.

SB has a decent player pool, POF. Not as much traffic as WPN but maybe worth while looking into.

just going to go point blank with you. with all due respect to this affiliate he's doing the standard affiliate shill.

he'll gladly take your sign up either way but he clearly knows for a person in your position, who four tables 10nl-25nl for thirty hours a week, you won't come anywhere close to raking the $727+ a month it takes for the vip rewards to be flat out better than flat 27%. you'll probably end up raking about $400 dollars a month if its straight 25nl. with the vip program alone that puts you at ~20% rakeback. having the bonus active will give you a bump and may get it close to evens with the flat 27% but its nowhere close to

he's also very misleading when you ask

$2000 raked at 60% = $1200 + your winnings is completely irrelevant to you. it's pretty much just as relevant to your current situation as saying $20000 raked at 60% = $12,000 + your table winnings.. you're not going to come anywhere close to raking $2k a month.

truth be told the reason he wants you to take vip over flat rakeback is because affiliates make more from vip signups than they do flat rakeback signups, so while it's likely in your best interest to take the flat, he's already steering you in the direction of whats best for him and not you.

also, it is technically illegal for affiliates to randomly pm players and hunt for signups on 2+2. I personally don't care about it and would never say anything to the powers that be, but since you've put it out there already remember this is a guy that's been in the business long enough to 1000% know he's not supposed to do it but is likely doing it at a very high frequency. just another thing to factor in when deciding if you want to do business with someone.

in the end, the only thing this affiliate appears to be offering you that you can't get on your own is the unlimited/unexpiring bonuses and that IS a nice feature. all in all, if he can offer you that perk to go along with the flat 27% I would say that is unquestionably your best bet unless you plan on adding more tables or hours.

good luck!

TY for your in-depth suggestions.

Fortunately I think I have the issues on the Bov resolved as of yesterday.
I'll be staying there as I love their player pool and plentiful tables. There were 2 downsides for me, the software (resolved) and the lack of RB. I can deal w/ the RB since the games are so good. I'll take that over not being able to log in to the WPN servers, getting kicked off for hours, etc. Had I not found a fix, I would've been heading for WPN. Thankfully, I won't have to anymore. I appreciate your input and thanks again.

I play on both sites. Bovada's disconnections are every bit as bad.

Somebody playing here? It is a reliable skin? How about withdrawals?
