Re: Ipoker banned me from playing. cool.

Oh Man- any iPoker reg not on VC poker? The only reason their ratio of winning to losing players is so high is because people trust them more than the other skins- and rakeback obv

Re: Ipoker banned me from playing. cool.

kind of a logical step by ipoker. there are too many parasitic skins (skins that almost exclusively bring winning players or rakeback grinders).

iPoker didn't ban you, VCPoker did.

Just play on another site on the network, preferably one with a better fish/shark ratio, like William Hill, Paddy Power or bet365.

I don't understand. Different skins on the same network have different players?

by tonnes you mean stars and ftp?

i find it hilarious that players go looking for what is obviously excessive rb deals and then bitch when the shady skin gets smacked by the network, good work by ipoker imo

Re: Ipoker banned me from playing. cool.

Post about getting rakeback and get a skin elsewhere. If VC's ratio is so bad, there must be a shortage of regs at other skins. Surely you can get a more standard 35% rb at a lesser known skin

Re: Ipoker banned me from playing. cool.

William Hill have chosen to let players "cancel" their withdrawal for I think 12 hours before they're processed. This was standard on iPoker skins, but the bigger operators like Betfred had their own software and removed this option. It's transparently a way to make people keep on playing until they lose their money money rather than banking the win.

As someone with no self-discipline it means I'm totally doomed. I've spun £10 into £50, £10 into £130, £10 into £300 within a day recently, but each time lost it because I couldn't stop playing and couldn't get the money out the goddamn sie.

I hate Will Hill so much now. I wish they could at least be honest and not pretend a barrier to withdrawal could ever be a positive feature, rather than something that aids their bottom line. It's good for them if their players lose their money since they don't get hit by network fines.

VCPoker targeted pros with high rakeback deals. Their fish/shark ratio is out of whack. Other sites that market to other segments don't have this problem, and won't likely ban their winning players.

Yes but you are a degen with a gambling problem (albeit with some decent writing skills). Are you still living in a squat and eating food out of bins?
