CakePoker / Cake Feedback Thread

Sorry, but I find nothing at all "nice" about the new 9 max tables. It is just another money grubbing ploy to get a little more money out of the players. I have played at PokerHost for over 2 years now, but their exhorbitant cash out fees for US players ($75 for a check, really now, is that bad or what?), really bad software on Cake, and now the 9 player tables are going to make me say goodbye to PokerHost very soon now. There are so many better rooms. It's so easy to get your money in at PokerHost and so hard to get it out if you are from the US.

I am a low stakes player, typically having as low as $100, and as much as $350 in my account at any given time. What would keep me, as a US player, playing at Pokerhost (Cake network)?

Make the following changes: Get some cash out options that do not kill you as a small stakes player.

When I want $100 from my account at PokerStars, they send me $100, no fees, no questions. Not true at PokerHost. At PokerHost the cheapest option to withdraw is a Moneygram, for which the fee is $25 minimum. The most expensive is bank wire or check for which there is a $75 fee. For a $100 withdrawal, there goes 25% of my hard earned money. And that is not all of it. If you are so unlucky as to have less than $125 in your account, you can not use the Moneygram method, as the withdrawal minimum is $100.

I am not going to keep playing at a site where I am charged from 25% to 75% (i.e.$75 for a check) of my money to withdraw a little bit of it. (But for a small stakes player like me, $100 is an amount I would like to have)

Happens all the time for me (at least it used to when I played on the network)

sigh

p.s. fail

Sorry but the software is an Joke

Never had so much disconnects on any other site --> Costs the players much money
auto Rebuy feature ohhh cool i thought --> If it works lol
Add chips to Stack took this evening 7 Minutes to refill my stack --> Sucks pretty Hard if you normal play 100bb deep...

[SBace25]

My thoughts after playing for a couple of weeks
Like:
I like the micro stakes ring games, see a lot of regulars


Dislike:
I wish there was a bank transfer method like FTP uses

Software could use some work

Sit N' go's don't fill up very fast and their isnt a huge selection but that is to be expected with lower traffic numbers

[High-Low-Split]

Yeah, but you can have your cake and eat it too!...

I just want to reiterate how aggravating the DCs are w/o DC protection at least. If that could be implemented before the new software, I'd <3 life. Add chips has worked fine for me. Maybe you misclicked something in the settings?

[imallin723]

the graphics/software is pretty bad. get banktransfers/echecks. also i don't like how the waiting lists works. just keep it simple like stars and ft

[imallin723]

any chance on adding sportsbetting like playersonly? i think that would be real cool because i feel safer on cake

Please keep your policy of not allowing HUDs/trackers, this is the main reason Im playing and will keep playing on Cake.

I agree. The actual concept of PLAYING POKER is appealing to me = )
