Seems like there would be some chatter about it on 2+2, I question the credibility of this "Uncle Steve"....

Paypal now works in NJ as well.

Delaware posted its lowest poker rake numbers in its two year history in September, even with the Nevada liquidity sharing. Are Delaware sites advertising at all? I guess not with the 100% tax. I notice that there are only small tabs on the casino websites linking to it.

It is baffling that Delaware players rake almost 3x that amount at one point but there is no interest now that there are 10x the tables available through WSOP.com in NV.

That's what happens when the legislature passes a ****ty bill, and the businesses who are supposed to promote this have no incentive to do so. I moved out of Delaware over a year ago, but I bailed on the poker games long before that. There was just no traffic and no evidence that anyone gave a damn about it.

Another issue is with the casino. It only spreads about 15 slots nobody has ever heard of, one basic VP game, blackjack and roulette. With that said, casino rev is hanging in there and is about 4x poker rake.

I'm in DE and since this site launched I'm pretty sure I've seen 2 ads. Meanwhile NJ has ads out the ass althought I havnt seen any in a couple of months. Before that it was all over the tv/radio. It's like they want DE poker to fail.

And worst of all (and this is beyond terrible) player balances don't change during the hand, so if someone starts with $18, bets $3 on the flop and $7 on the turn, it still reads $18. I mean, yeah, you can hover over the placard and get the balance, but it's impossible to play more than a couple tables without drastically slowing down your decision-making process.

All that being said, it's very nice to log in and see actual players at the tables instead of the wasteland it used to be.
It's amazing that, over a year later, none of this has been fixed. Did anyone do that survey they sent out a couple of months ago? I did, and I complained about this issue. I got an email back advising me to change the settings to revert to the way the tables looked before the software changed.

But I feel like my ability to play on this site is already so tenuous (technological issues - for instance the new software does not allow me to log on from my PC, only from my laptop) that I'm reluctant to mess around with the settings lest something else go wrong. It would be different if I played more than 2 tables at a time, but I don't, so I can put up with it. Wish they'd just fix it, though.

FWIW, I first started playing on the site in 2014. Took a break for several months when life got busy, and came back in late 2015. Since the player pools have merged, I'm seeing a little more traffic, but not nearly as much as I expected. And it seems like mostly Vegas players (they do like to put "NV" or "Vegas" in their names, don't they? You see very few people repping DE in their name). The regs I played with in 2014 seem to be 95% gone, unless they changed their names. Even that one guy who used to sit at the PLO micros all day long - and would trash talk constantly - I've seen him only once in the past few months.

Don't get me wrong, there are still enough tables that a game can always be found, but sometimes there's literally one table at the limits I like. There are some peak times, though, when there are more options than there ever were before the merge.

HAHA - as I've been typing this and playing, I got the ol' "We are having trouble validating your location". Classic. At least they let you play the hand out.

14 months later, but there are days that I get constantly kicked off, and there are days that I don't get kicked off at all. I think things have been trending toward having less "bad" days, but they still happen.

EDIT about above post: after reading that changing to default backgrounds worked for others here, I tried it, and I *think* it might have worked. That background is ugly as sin, though. It literally looks like a nicotine stain.

Not surprised. I got an email about a birthday bonus this year. My experience is that you really, really need to comb through the fine print to fully understand what you're signing up for - they're very opaque about their rules - so I did. There was literally nothing anywhere about a time limit to acquire the bonus, and the default is 60 days.

So I deposited. Only afterward did I learn I had 2 weeks to clear any bonuses. What? I went back and carefully reviewed all of the fine print again - and there's nothing - at - all about a time limit. Therefore it should have been the default "all bonus periods are for 60 days unless otherwise specified".

*sigh*. I thought about contesting it, but I foresaw myself getting nowhere with customer service, and let it go. But this is the kind of thing that discourages people from using the site.

Conversely, though, I was offered another bonus for filling out the customer satisfaction survey they sent out in early 2016. This one explicitly mentioned a 60 day time limit, so I deposited. Oddly, the next time I played after my deposit, a full 50% of the bonuses I could potentially make had already been insta-awarded to my account. Which was a nice surprise (and again, totally unadvertised). I still don't know if that was a glitch, but I'm definitely not asking questions. So the site's different-than-advertised promo rules can work both ways.

Can Delaware players earn Tier Credits through playing on WSOP and link their current Total Rewards card through the above link?

It looks to me like Delaware players can buy-in through one of the DE casinos and then play on WSOP through the 888 platform. Am I understanding this correctly?

For example, can I deposit on a DE site, play on WSOP and earn Tier Credits?

My apologies for posting this in most likely the wrong thread.

No. There is no WSOP in Delaware so you cannot play on it or earn anything towards Total Rewards. Delaware only has the racino branding.

What casino in Delaware gets the most traffic or are they all the same?

Can you get a different sn on each skin and collect bonuses through all three casinos?

I'm thinking of starting one through Dover Downs but can I also open an account with the other ones?

What type of limits/games are spread? Do they have guaranteed tournaments? What days/buy-ins?

Is there more traffic in the evenings,etc?

I can't find very much info on the site.

I've seen one player who has a Delaware Park avatar and do not see it in the available avatars. Does anyone know how you get that?

1. All the racinos share a common online player pool that uses 888 software and that also shares the WSOP NJ and NV player pools. There are no skins.

2. NLHE and PLO ring games are always running. Sit-n-gos run up to $25 and occasionally higher, with their rate of play dependent on the day of the week and time of day.

3. Yes, they have a bunch of guaranteed mtts that run daily, weekly, or monthly, with buy-ins ranging from $1 to $500 and everything in between.

4. Yes, of course there is more traffic in the afternoon than in the morning and in the evening than the afternoon. Fridays through Sundays are the busiest.

Thank you! Great info!

I have a Dover Downs account.

I have an online account and dabble live at Harrington and Dover but have yet to actually play online for money in Delaware.

My plan is to just drop off some cash at the casino (after a winning session obv) and spew it online. Then bink a tourney.

Is it basically, create an account online, show a DE driver's license, hand cash, play cards online when I get home?

Cash out my online winnings at the cage? Am I missing a step?

I'm not aware of an option to make deposits and withdrawals to your online account at any of the racinos. After downloading the poker client, click on 'deposit' and follow the instructions. A copy of your driver's license will need to be uploaded along with a copy of a bill confirming your residence address in order to make online withdrawals - they go directly into your specified bank account within 72 hours.

I am being relocated to Delaware. Has anyone played on any of the Delaware regulated online sites? I believe they are 888 skins. Has anyone played on these sites? I'd like some opinions. I've looked and can't find any reviews.
Thanks.

This thread is filled with people who've played on the site. The player pool is shared with NV, so you can head over to the NV WSOP online thread to get more info. There are a couple of differences in DE: the rewards system is different (and less lucrative), and you can't play WSOP qualifiers or other events specific to WSOP and not 888.

So does that mean that Delaware online players cannot play the WSOP Online Circuit event going on right now?

Correct, unless they drive to New Jersey to play it.

Well, that needs to be changed.

Any particular reason that Delaware players share a player pool for cash and other tournaments but not WSOP events?

Do 888 and WSOP not get along?

The only three approved skins in Delaware are the racinos Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington. Caesars doesn't have a casino in Delaware so it cannot have a WSOP skin there. The tax situation is terrible in Delaware so trying to work out some sort of partnership probably isn't viable, if even possible.
