is it possible to tell us what is new in betfair software when there is an update?

Thanks!

This

russians are nice too

The problem with having a fixed limit cash leaderboard is that the limit traffic is quite low. That said I will pass this onto the powers that be and they will look into it

Have you dowloaded the lastest DirectX? Are you running Betfair Poker as an administrator?

I have mentioned earlier in the thread that Betfair Poker sees the "bum-hunting" craze as a problem and are looking to implement changes to combat it. However, I am not at liberty to say until these changes have been finalised and are official.

Hidden brag about chatting to John Tabatabai

You receive 30% rakeback if you earn 0-29,999 Betfair Points and 40% if you earn 30,000 or more. It would be best to double check your deal with the affiliate you signed up through as some affiliates offer slightly different terms as far as I am aware

Thanks for taking the time to compile a thorough post. Your comments have been noted and I promise you each and every one of them is being read by upper management at Betfair Poker

What problem are you experiencing? I use Neteller and have never had to wait more than 24 hours for my money, including at weekends

I sent you a Pm about this, hopefully it hs been resolved, if not contact me once again

This is a good idea. If there are major changes there is an update thread in the Betfair forum. The most recent update was to improve stability and only contained updates to the back-end of the software. I agree though it would be good if after a major update there was a pop-up that informed you of changes.

A big thanks to everyone who has participated in this thread, all your comments are apprciated and have been passed on. I know that the upper managemrnt of Betfair Poker are regularly checking this thread and are commited to making changes to Betfair Poker that will improve it.

This. The $30k should have a buyin of $300. And bring back the $18k on sundays!!! Not eveyone can afford $500 buyins. You have a choice of <$50 or $500. hmm

Esp on the 'worthless points' unless you do sport betting. My volume has gone from £3k rake a month to less than £500 a month as i find games else where.

Also can the word 'rake' be unbanned from the forums. ITS SO ANNOYING not being able to say it.

Thanks for listening at least FairRep

all of this improvement stuff is incidental. why no comments about the hand rje8686 posted 10 days ago?

a poster on the betfair forum commented that amongst all the forumites and the many hands they must have played and all the various complaints about collusion etc NOT ONE PERSON has ever been compensated or reimbursed. In fact betfair consistently refuse to divulge any details about whether they have investigated someone or any action they might have taken.

There have been many incidents where cheating has been observed and the perpetrators are still playing on the site despite emails to betfair with all the evidence attached.

Why would anyone want to play on a site where they clearly couldnt give a stuff about collusion and cheating? There aren't enough bad things I can say about how inept this situation is and I for one would never return until this policy is changed.

I agree. I have reported cheating to betfair on atleast 2 occasions and nothing happened.

I guess when you have fk all customers playing anyway you dont want to ban the remaining few who are giving you rake.

can someone tell me what the 30,000$ New Breed Challenge is?

Its a tournament starting in 2 hours with a buyin of $500+$10


Is this just a normal tournament or something special?

i love betfair

Is it true that 100 danish players were invited to the WSOPE Qualifier (510$ buy in) for free because of the big overlay that betfair expected with 10 packages gtd. ? So I as a long term customer was one of the 2/3 that paid for this tournament and 100 danish players were playing their first hands in this donkament for free?

correct. what a joke huh? just shows how badly they treat high rakers etc.

So has the time bank issue and the reload issues been fixed yet? Those two failures in the software must be fixed before considering going back there.

I remember screaming at my computer when my big hands were being folded at betfair..

astonishingly bad business practice. really quite appalling.

On a side note I really really like betfair to succeed and would instantly go back there if some of the obvious software problems are dealt with. Take that back to your leadership and ensure that our suggestions are being heard!

I don`t know anything about this, but I had a similar experience last year. Through my rakeback provider I was invited to an MTT where the top ten finishers would get an entry to the $510 WSOPE Main Event satelite. When we were about to start there were only ten registrants so when the table opened we just got the message "You have won the tournament" (or somthing similar) and did not need to play a hand.

+1

Betfair has the potential to be so much better.

So, Fairep.... Havent noticed you fair-repping much lately, nor have I noticed any changes to the boatload of problems at Betfair.

Hows about an update?

No chance!

glad to see another betfair improvement thread resulted in substantial changes. good to know you listen to your customers. You want to be the 3rd biggest poker operator in europe.

be patient, maybe we will see some announcements in the august thread.

Make account balance visible on lobby or at least easier to find.

Turn off chat!!! cant stand the chats

you can completely turn the chat of by clicking on the "x" top right corner..but then you dont have any dealer messages etc.

@betfairrep


i just started playing on your site and is it just me or why is betfair so laggy if im at 5+ tables?

im on a mac if that helps.

one more thing,with the januar bonus i cant check them out it always tells me "we have no info on that account please try later"

In my experience, Betfair are good at saying that they listen to their customers but actually not very good at following it through and making the software friendlier for multi tablers.

On the one hand, this is good, as it stops the games looking too attractive to other good players from other sites and keeps the ratio between fish and decent players pretty high.

On the other hand though, it means that achieiving any kind of meaningful volume is terribly difficult unless you practically live on the site.

For once, I'd actually like to see Betfair listen to their customers and do some serious work on their software but their customers have been complaining about it for long enough now to suggest that nothing will be done any time soon, other than Betfair asking the same questions over and over because its cheaper to pretend you give a toss than it actuaslly is to do something about your customers concerns.

However, if that helps keep it amongst the softest sites on the net, its a cross I can bear
