I don’t understand why some of you think our 50% rakeback promotion is misleading. Everyone was frozen on affiliate step 5 until the 18th of December.
All new customers will be frozen on affiliate step 5 for a week.
You can only drop down 1 level in the affiliate structure each week, hence everyone who didn’t qualify for affiliate step 5 after today’s affiliate/rakeback payouts will still be on level 4 – regardless of our current display bug.

It is not hard to reach/maintain a decent RB/affiliate commission; if you either play a lot or refer some friends.
See the ‘how to calculate your affiliate money’ section at www.highpulsepoker.com/affiliates

Regarding rake; our general policy is to be as transparent to the users as possible and a detailed description of our rake policies will be available on our webpage soon. For now I can provide it here:
We will take 5 % of the Pot(s) if there is a flop and Pot >= € 0.2.
Round floor € 0.01 intervals
Maximum rake 2 players: 1*BB OR €0.5 whatever is lowest
Maximum rake 3-5 players: 5*BB OR €1.5 whatever is lowest
Maximum rake 6-9 players: 10*BB OR €3 whatever is lowest
If there are Side Pots the amount shall be taken proportionally from all Pots.

The player winning the pot and therefore paying the rake will be credited with the full amount.

I have a lot of private messages and queries in the other thread. Will try to work my way through the pile of messages tonight.

Also look into 1rebuy 1 addon structures for the Sunday 12k Jonas. Please pass that on to the suggestion box

I can garantee alot of us regulars will be rebuying when we get a bad beat it that bad boy.

And will bring the sites overlay down also

I think it is redic. how you have to win the pot to collect your % of the RB that you put into it... You basically have to learn to calculate the rb on the spot in the hand, add it to the pot size and pot odds and go from there. Since its basically just more money in pot you have to win to get...

There's nothing to calculate. The rake is paid after the pot has been awarded not during the hand.

yes but both players contribute to it and only the winner gets the RB% other players jsut pays into it and gets 0% so yes there is

We need a way to keep track of our own rake. Because im finding it hard to believe that when im 8 tabling nl25 im only rakeing like $6 in Rake/step point per hour...

oh only 2 step points this time lol give me a break

As far as I know the rake is accurate, which level are you on?

I know that mine counts up well updates every half of an hr, and has been pretty accurate for me.

I am on Step 5, and it always shows me exactly 50% of what I am raking in cashier under Level 1.

Lvl 5 aswell, it just seams like my step points has slowed almost to a hault..

If the U.S ever gets there **** together will you be allowing them to play?

+1000000000000

it is horrible shadey. I was going to give the site a go until I realised the heading was meant to dupe us.

You don't get 50% rakeback from day one unless you meet conditions. Therefore it is misleading.

You could say 50% rakeback on day one to all, but saying from is totally false.

Are you serious?

any HU PLO action on your site?

Seriously Serius Yo

maybe try reading the terms ?

Can you at least update the first post saying the catches etc.

Dear TheRaiderr,

When you open a new account at High Pulse Poker you will receive 50% Rakeback for a week - no matter what.

If you then fail to accumulate the required amount of affiliate step points to maintain the highest rakeback level of 50% you will drop to 40% Rakeback (affiliate step 4).

Instead of sign-up bonuses, where you have to rake your deposit through x amount of times. We give 50% Rakeback - even if you don't make a deposit.

How is that shady? I must admit I don't follow your logics.

Best Regards,
Jonas

Then why not say for a week?

The fact you omit that is what makes shadey. Typically rakeback deals are set amounts (which I am sure you aware) and you trying to tap into that.

When I sign up to a rakeback deal I expect that amount every month no matter what my level play.

I don't understand why all the catches aren't in you OP? Did you just expect people wouldn't find out?

I know you can edit the OP which would stop more people misled and their time wasted.

50% rakeback would be of SERIOUS value for the multitabler! Have we had any estimates on what it works out to? $20-$30 an hour?

i just tryed to download HPP, didnt make account though. In the lobby it said like 649 online players. But when i looked at tables, there was like no plo action at all, like 2 tables of NLH.. I dont get it..

You are really nitty or you just run really bad. You rake only if you win, so if you win rarely, you also rake less.

Sometimes you just go on a bad run and only rake 5€ in an hour. In the next hour you might rake 20€.

Most people play tournaments.

you are right. its damn missleading and makes me dislike this site for only that shady attempt to catch new players with a 50% rakeback offer when its actually a vip deal thats hard/impossible to reach for the average joe.
that the rep does not see this makes it only worse.

Except the rep sees it and knows exactly what he is doing. He just thinks people on 2+2 are stupid.

I thought I will give it a go until I realised what was happening.

I found it very misleading, and I played there until I figured out it was a total waste. You advertise 50%-rakeback, but the truth is, your rakeback-system is almost lika all the other VIP-systems, with the only difference that you call it rakeback and the other ones call it VIP-rewards.

raking 500 eur per week is just ridiculous, I am sure, none of your staff could accomplish to rake 500 EUR per week dispite the traffic and the simple fact, that a day has only 24 hours and two tabling nonstop is pretty boring.

sorry I really liked the product, but advertising 50% rakeback, when it´s actually not doable is just very shady.
