Greetings 2+2'ers,
First off let me say that I’m associated with an iPoker oprator. Second, I would like to thank everyone for their posts, especially derek_richmond and fastup. I have a couple of quotes, comments and questions that I hope
fastup will respond to.

To get 50 % you need an affiliate who gives you % under the table.
So i think the affiliate should be more worried than you since NoiQ will close him or her down if they find these deals

I have from very reliable sources the quite opposite; the reason noiq has been so successful with affiliates, is their willingness to go so far with the price war. They out competed a lot of other operators with deals, both to the affiliates, and the players. And more importantly; some affiliates had ok from noiq to give rake back deals as acquisition offers.
Quote:
NoiQ have like 10-15 highrollers that play on the highest blinds on ipoker.
These are pros.
NoiQ sent an apply to ipoker about this and asked if ipoker could exclude these players from the policy since they did not play for rakeback or bonuses but just for the cash of the poker pots. These players win millions of $ and withdraw a lot.
So, NoiQ applied but it got denied. If ipoker accepted these 10 -15 players then NoiQ would not have their players withdrawing more than they deposit.

If I’m understanding you correctly, these 15 players (who are not multi-table grinders living on rake back, but rather players who live on their win rate), are the cause of noiq breaching ipoker's performance criteria in regards to withdrawals. Right? Why wouldn’t noiq then just kick these players out? Other operators have done this.

NoiQ asked ipoker if they could implement the rule that you could not register on NoiQ if you had another ipoker account and only for NoiQ. Meaning, this would only affect NoiQ and no other rooms. NoiQ wanted this because they said "We don’t want players from other sites on ipoker”
|
Pardon my directness, but I simply don’t believe “we don’t want players from other sites on ipoker”. My guess is that if you looked at ipokers numbers on how many players (and their relative rake numbers) who have previously signed up with other sites before signing up with noiq it would be staggering compared to the average oprator poaching. I have a suggestion; why dion't noiq instead offer to cut loose all their previously poached players?
Quote:
You can say what you like but the main reason NoiQ have gotten problems is because other card rooms are mad and scared on NoiQ. These sportsbook complain to ipoker a lot. Titan has also pushed a lot.
Not sure if this is correct or not but somone told me "Titan's ceo demanded ipoker to kick out NoiQ"
What is true is that Titan is now telling everyone to withdraw from NoiQ and offer everyone 45 % Rakeback
|
Although I agree with you that Titan is no angel and that their relationship with ipoker/playtech is too blurry. I don’t believe however that ipoker is kicking noiq off the network just “because other card rooms are mad and scared” or because “Titan's ceo demanded it”. For ipoker to kick an operator off, there must be a clear violation on one or more points in the network policy. What exactly is the stated reason by ipoker for wanting you out?

Meet NoiQ in real life and you will see what kind of people they are

Lastly let me point out, that all though I’m happy to see noiq go (I don’t see them as a contributing ipoker partner), I’m sure that the gurus that are behind this company, their employees and investors are lovely people. I sincerely wish you all bright future.
regards, NN
