make sure that before you decide to deposit onto a site on the microgaming network, you understand what network you are giving your support to, and the risks involved

re: *Exclusive $6,000, 15 Day Rake Race at StanJames [Microgaming] with iPokerVIP*

I don't know why people insist on judging networks on their safety as opposed to the sites on the network.

Microgaming's lack of action certainly left a bad taste but, I don't believe any Euro networks would've taken responsibility.

The people ultimatley at fault were the skins. It's not just limited to Eurolinx & Tusk either. Recently Potraiser was kicked from the Entraction network and as far as I know some players are still waiting for their bankrolls. It doesn't mean that every skin on the network is unsafe though.

Players money is kept with the skins, not the networks.

StanJames is a large, land based sportsbook with over 70 shops in the UK and a long standing reputation. As with Ladbrokes and Unibet it would be ludacris to claim that players bankrolls were at any risk whatsoever.

As affiliates we take player safety very seriously. We've never dealt with a site that has failed to pay rakeback payments or where players have lost their bankroll. This is something very few affiliates can be proud of.

Read more about the criteria we use when choosing our partners here.


Anyway, although I disagree with the method of judging a network for it's safety as opposed to the skins on the network it's nevertheless a fair post.

re: *Exclusive $6,000, 15 Day Rake Race at StanJames [Microgaming] with iPokerVIP*

is this for a limited time? Its an insane offer!

Great incentive to put in volume week in week out. Extra motivation knowing a possible 50% rakeback each week.

Also have u any numbers in relation to av/daily traffic, peak hrs etc....

thanks

I feel it might be good idea to tell this on main site/earlier posts as well. I know I hadn't heard of StanJames before, and neither have most people who will read the first post. There are tons of random small poker sites with strange names.

Hi Anssi A,

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree that people need to know how reputable and big a company StanJames are.

I mentioned in our OP about the StanJames deal that they're one of the UK's largest sportsbooks and we also cover this in a little more depth on the offer page on the site.

You're right though - it's not clear enough.

The question is: Where else can we put this information and how can we present it differently to draw more attention to it?

In the meantime here is some info about StanJames taken from their Wikipedia page:

Their operations are primarily online and over the telephone with a limited number of 65[1] betting shops in the UK
Hope this helps.

I'll get to work on making StanJames' integrity and reliability known to all!


Jamie

Hi Monchaos,

Thanks for your post.

Microgaming is a European network so the peak hours wil be around 18:00 - Midnight CET on weekdays and a little later on weekends.

During peak hours the network reaches 15,000 players online with about 3,000 cash players. It's not quite as big as iPoker or Party but, Microgaming is certainly catching up.

Lastly, I don't think this non-deductable deposit bonus and the other good stuff on top of it is going anywhere fast. Although it would obviously be better to clear the bonus whilst receiving 50% rakeback which will probably be coming to an end pretty soon.

Read a short Microgaming Review on iPokerVIP.


Hope this helps.


Jamie

Hey Jamie,

I checked their website, it's under construction
Do they have shop where you can exchange fpp's? (like LB and unibet)
You mentioned in a previous post that this deal might not
be there for very long, any idea what timeframe? Going on holiday thats why.

thanks for your time

Unfortunatley they don't have shop but, you can use your points to buy into tournaments. Currently this is the only use for them.

I maybe worded it badly. The offer won't be as rewarding if / when the 50% rakeback promotion is discontinued by Microgaming.

Hope this all helped.

If you cashout from Betmost your cashout will be processed by William Hill who are one of the networks safest skins.

Betmost likes to think of itself as William Hill's sister company. Their licence is through William Hill as is their support and as previously mentioned payment processing.

If you trust William Hill you should trust Betmost. It's that simple!

You can read more about iPokerVIP's criteria for selecting it's partners here.

Hope this helped.

Hey just a post to say i took up the Stan james offer a month ago and have just cleared the 1k bonus playing mainly 100nl and some 50nl. I raked around 3.1K to clear the bonus, made 50%RB every week except one and finished 4th in there rake race for an extra $600, def well worth it. Also like to add i would only trust 3 or 4 skins on microgaming and Stan James is certainly one of them, they are a household name here in the UK.
