Who was it that said "there's a sucker born every minute"? Was it the Fertitta brothers?
You obviously haven't been following the developments around these parts. UP
dropped Iovation the moment that 2p2 brought their concerns forward. AND UP wasn't even using Iovation. They were using CAMS, which was licensed by Nevada, and CAMS was using Iovation, which wasn't licensed by Nevada. They (UP) weren't aware of the extent of Greg Pierson's involvement in the UB scandal, and neither was the rest of the poker world, really, until a few days ago when those audio recordings were released. There is literally no other poker site on the planet, IMO, whose support staff is as attentive, cooperative, helpful, and responsive as UP's except for, in
certain instances, PokerStars.
Also, the 4% rake is pretty much industry standard and UP has stated that they will be implementing rakeback payouts retroactively as soon as they set their VIP system up. So, in effect, players are currently earning rakeback, it just isn't being paid into their accounts until the VIP program is finalized.
Plus, with as juicy as the games are, it doesn't even matter at this point. It's like pre-UIGEA poker on UP.
