I'll still check out the room but my feedback would be to just lower the fees to attract players instead of all these promos that are just taking money off the table.
Thanks for taking the time to chime in and also express your excitement for our new room. I did pass along your concerns to our Management Team.
I will say that we do provide a variety of value to our members in other ways you may not be aware of:
Players Receive a Free Meal After 3 Hours Of Play (once per day)
PLO Cash Games Are Offered At Just $6/hr
Industry Rate of Just $6/hr
A $60 All-Day Play Pass (purchase it between 8am-2pm any day of the week and enjoy no time fees for that day PLUS get a comped meal as well)
In regards to the $2 promo drop, I used to play at the Tampa Hard Rock and they take $6/hand plus a $2 jackpot drop but also offer extremely popular and frequent high hand promotions. I know some poker rooms charge an administrative fee that means some of the players promo drop funds wind up diverted to the house to keep as revenue. We do not, 100% of the drop collected is returned to our members via a variety of promotions. We've already paid out $1,500 in high hands over the past few days and our Flush Frenzy promotion (running Fri-Sun) is up to $3,000 and will increase by $1,000 each of those days if it is not hit.
