Congrats. Now on to business... SJ rake race down to 25 places paid? I preferred the 50!

And whats up with the non-linear prizes for the first mar-13 rake race? (26th place = $40 and 25th = $20).

Hey T

Thanks for the heads up on the leader board.
As for the payouts from 50 to 25 places - we are trying it out to re-invigorate the SJ players. We are now running these promos at a loss since Microgaming decided to mess things up by cutting multi table limits on SJ

That is back to 5 now and should be at 6 on 26th March.

We will review again in early April or so.

Thanks again

Best wishes

Hi RTR,

I see that you offer cash back deals on many iPoker skins. Too me they all look very similar at a first glance. I see differences when it comes to the Rake Races size. What would be the skin with the best RB deal at the moment for someone raking $2k/month? Thanks

Hey DFF

The programs are all much of a muchness. iPoker is definitely the network in the ascendancy. Based on your level of rake the best deals in order of returns based on races would be as follows.

InterTops 15-22.5%
Titan 17-18%
Genting 15%
Will Hill/Betmost 12-15%
Betfair Est - 14%
Paddy Power 13%
Winner 10%

All are incredibly solid names in the business.

Best wishes

Johnny

Does this include the money won from the Rake Race as well? Thx

Hey DFF - Nope those are the extra race values just by themselves.

So you get the cashback from the rooms in addition

Has anyone received their prizes for last months ladbrokes gadget chase?

Quick question on grandfathered Betfair RB. Does it become 40% rb once the aggregate rake has reached $2500 from Ongame & iPoker, or each is individual?

IIRC it's cumulative across both networks

In your betfair ongame rake race,the leaderboard page states it run from 1st march to 15 march,but the table continues to update,when the race was finished last friday.
I finished top and today i'm looking to see when i would be paid,only to see the the points tally still updating and i've moved down a spot
yet it still shows as ending on the 15th

Hey northstander

Thanks for getting in touch.

Betfair were confirming the details with us today so that they can start to get the payments requested as we understand. It turns out that the data that was in the system was the data we received on Friday the 15th which was good through the 14th.

So that has now been updated with the data that was sent on Saturday the 16th. That of course should have been on Monday the 18th, so apologies for any false hopes. I am afraid you were just pipped at the post!

They have left the office now in Malta so they should put the request in on Monday when they are back in. Hopefully that means payment by Tuesday evening but let me know if not.

Best wishes

Ok, thanks for the quick response.

No problem. We just sent a follow up email asking when the payments would go through and we were told that it would be "next week".
Not sure that means by Tuesday though. In theory the race says by 15th of the following month but we hope it will be quicker in this instance so that you can play in the other race!

Hi RtR,

I've passed the 2.5k mark for Betfair rake, but it still says 30% on the stats page, it should be 40% right?

Thanks

Yep - when they switched to iPoker we didnt update the new room in our system to mirror OnGame. Of course everything is automated by Betfair in terms of payments so you won't have missed out etc.

Thanks for the heads up though Rocky

Hi RTR

Any chance of you revealing the gadget chase prizes for Ladbrokes before the start of next month?

You seem to only post your newsletter with next month's deals in the first week of the new month. Imo lots of players would prefer to see the deals available at least a few days before in order to choose where they might play and move money etc. for the new month beginning.

hey Hank

You are absolutely right!
We do try and get the newsletters out a little earlier, honest!

They are supposed to go out today but i believe there are a few worldwide email spam attack issues going on which may delay it.

Here's a link to the next month at Laddies

Laddies Prizes and Leader Board for April

We got them to introduce a lower tier...it's only a tourney ticket but it's better than nothing

I don't drive. I clearly need to decide whether I can be bothered to rake $3000 this month.

Good point - well made.

There's always Betfair on iPoker if you fancy a change, where the returns in April will be between 60-100% when you factor in the races, Money Matrix, VIP or Grandfathered deals, bonuses etc

I've got an old Betfair account from pre-Ipoker days. Am I allowed to make a new account and get sign up bonuses? Is that Money Matrix just for new players? And am I reading the Money Matrix correctly, it seems to be offering over 25% return?

Right, I've read all the stuff on your site. If I created a new IPoker SN from my old account I would be eligible for the $2000 kickstarter bonus. If I then raked $2500 in April I would have 50000 VIP points. This would give me $750 in kickstarter bonus payments. I could redeem those points at 25% for a further $625. I would get $700 from the Money Matrix. And would probably win ~$300 in your rake race. Which adds up $2325 or 93% rakeback. Am I missing something here?

Hey ASM

You dont need a new account....ah you worked that out...ok well i will post the below for others.

@93% you are correct! This stuff is gonna be insane. Betfair always throw lots of cash at their migrations

You get a kickstarter bonus worth $2,000

The money matrix pays up to 40% at the top rank....$4,000 for raking $10,000 - YOU MUST OPT IN!
Here's what's on offer depending on your category of player

For those of you who want to sign up to Betfair can do so here
