I am aware of and agree with most of the above. The Network has set such levels of rake on these games to find a balance between attracting the right kind of player to HU tables and making it financially viable to run them.

I can not speak for what happens currently or in the past on other LGA regulated sites - but can confirm that we have always been asked by the LGA to supply these details & proof of segregation and have always done so.

Hi,

I don't understand how your VIP Club, FPPs and VPPs work. I can't find how VPPs correlate to FPPs?

There is a line on your site "New players start at the Soldier VIP level and it doesn't take long at all to earn Gold Premium VIP status. " What is Gold Premium VIP status?

heey justin just wanted to drop by and say i am really happy for yachting that they found something that gave them more traffic, i have played the micro stakes there from the start and always with allot of fun. i have one question though.
is there any chance that the rake on SNG's will chance any time soon. personaly im a hyper specialist, and i understand that for the low buy ins (3.30 5.50) you need a bit more rake, but why keep the rake similar for hyper SNG's and normal speed SNG's? and alsoe keep the 10% rake at the higher buy ins to? i do understand you that you cant change anything about that atm but maybe it stil can be brought forward somehow.
and again im verry happy for you guys that you got to the point you guys are now and maybe in the future you can be the next pokerstars XD.

Firstly, the 'Gold Premium' terms was left there in error from our old VIP system - this has now been changed to say our new top VIP level 'General'.

VPPs and FPPs are not linked in any real or direct way - yes, you will earn both as you play but they have different uses in the system:

-VPPs are the VIP Player Points that you earn each month to define your VIP level. You earn them for all play at all times and move up the VIP levels as you do so and keep that achieved lever for the following month. VPPs are rest back to zero at the end of each month and you then start again , possibly with a VPP booster depending on your level. VPPs have no cash/bonus value and can not be converted in to anything.

-FPPs are the Frequent Player Points. Again, you earn these on all play at all time but if you are in the process of clearing a bonus they are automatically used to do that and no FPP balance is built up. when you are no longer clearing a bonus you will begin to build up a FPP balance and this can be converted in to Cash Bonuses, Tournament Tokens and used for FPP buyin tournaments.

Thank you for the feedback and we are discussing with the network the possibility of making some adjustments to the SnG fee structure - we can see that the Hyper/Super Turbo games could be a bit more competitive.

All the best.

Justin

What kind of rakeback can you achieve on Yachting on the new network?

what is the rake for Hyper Turbo HU SNG???

For 1€ it is .20, for 3-10€ it is 10% and above that 7.5%. The rake is set by the network though and Yachting has little influence on getting it changed.

does HEM work for yatching?and how do i get it set up?
the hands are importing but they arent coming up(for cash games)

I would be interested in this, too

Hi, sorry for the delay in reply - I was on holiday for a week or so

As far as I am aware Hold'em Manager does not currently support our software - so please get in touch with them to ask them to do so. Our HH is of a fairly common format so this may be why it allows you to import but I think Holdem Manager would need to a small update to allow it to be used within our software.

Good luck,

Justin

As a tournament player, how are the Guaranteeds on Yachting?

Just today I have created/verified an account with YP and was wondering how are withdrawals handled here because everything else looks really really great! thx !

Withdrawls are solid. It takes them 2 days to ship to an ewallet which is pretty good. Just a shame the headsup rake is zo ridiculously high, i stopped playing here.

+1 ridic HU rake is the reason I would never play there. I have no idea why would anyone start a table with this rake structure.

Players should have incentives to start tables, not disincentives like it is right now.

Hi All

The Highlights would be the €20,000 GTD Monthly (€50 buyin) and €10,000 GTD Weekly (€30 buyin) played at 20:00 CET on Sundays - these usually have an overlay and several satellites exist to qualify for under €1.

Our daily schedule includes a €2,500 GTD Turbo, €2,000 GTD Deepstack and a popular €500 ADDED rebuy.

Pretty much all Tournaments are GTD and some good value can be found in these quieter summer months.

You may be asked for documents on your first withdrawal - but once you have been verified things will usually be processed within 2-3 working days.

Thank you both for the feedback - we are aware that this HU rake structure is very high and are looking at this and over ways to improved our overall heads up table set up - I will post here when any changes are made.

Thanks,

Justin

Justin,

HU is not valued by poker rooms, but they should at least value the people playing 2-3 handed at 6max tables. Table starters are very very important for a room and no normal room would have such rake punishment for table starters. I would say this argument is more important then the typical that some HU bumhunters are complaining.

Hi

I like the site but ive lost allot of money by playing on smaller sites due to them closing and me not getting payed.

Are the player money seperate from the other money or is there a chance ill get screwed again? Whats their policy on this, anybody knows?

Never leave big parts of your roll in an online room. CashOut if possible CashIn when u need to.
-----------

Im new on Yachting and i like it for the most part. There are some issues with the software (like tiling mode is buggy etc) but overall pretty solid.

As stated above the rake for hu is enormous. I start tables on every occasion and i think thats the reason why a lot of tables run in the first place but i feel punished for doing so. In the end i pay the rake to start the table and then all the bumhunters find a new table and can choose the best seat. Would be nice if there is some reward for tablestarters or just lower the rake for all at hu.


So i hope you keep up the good work and hopefully listen to the players and their needs. There are so many examples of ruined pokerrooms/networks.. dont fall into that trap.

What network are you on?

Hi All,

I can confirm that we keep the player balances completely separated and have to provide monthly proof to our regulators that we have the funds in a ring fenced account to cover all current player balances.

I agree that starting tables is very important to any network and should not be punished. We currently have a high rake for 2-3 player on any table type/size. I will see if we can adjust the rake set up so that the rake structure is specific to table type/size - so HU table might be high but 2-3 players on a 6-max game would be lower.

I will post here when I have any news on this.

We are part of The Hive Poker Network

Thanks,

Justin

Justin, despite the rake being ridiculous for HUSNG's i'm grinding it away at the moment because of the great bonuses that have been offered in order to play on the site and have actually done fairly well pokerwise (probably because i'm yet to be doomswitched for a prolonged period)

1) Does either PT or HEM work on the website? If yes, which one? If no, what can we do to get this working?

2) Is there a contact we could message to support changing the rake? I'm certain you could get a lot more traffic on the network if HU rake was amended, as you can see from this thread. Who could we message to show this?

Bump ?

Neither supports The Hive. The traffic is okay to maybe justify it but obviously PT and HEM do not add any networks for free either.

Gets into a catch 22 situation. More traffic and HEM/PT would probably add it to their list of sites, however until more is done to attract the everyday player we aren't going to get more traffic and subsequently aren't going to be able to analyse my own stats.

39suited, sorry if this isn't relevant but what do you use to anaylse your game if you play on Yachting?

I don't have that much time to play so it isn't really relevant yet. On the plus side, they have a Mac client so I can continue playing there after switching to that apple recently.
