Yep that was a pretty dumb argument.
According to my calculations,
The rake race rakeback is about 6 to 7%
Pop points are about 4% rb
Reload bonus as a siberian tiger 22%, white tiger 17.5%
So you get 33% rb as a siberian tiger and 28.5% as a white tiger.
Nice incentive to become white tiger
I wish I could see the reasoning behind this genius decision to offer less rewards the more you play on the site.
Overall that could be one of the worst vip program in the market, the rewards are pretty poor, the cashout/cashin to activate the bonuses is not convenient and it's possible to fail to clear those all or nothing bonuses. The nice reload bonuses were offsetting the horrible software and mediocre traffic, but they are gone now.
Hi Yop,
Thanks for your feedback.
Your calculations are incorrect and in all cases are lower than the actual values.
To give you an example using max deposit amounts:
As a White Tiger you'll probably be a high volume player. Rakeback on the reload bonus is 20% but up to a maximum bonus of $1000 (100% of the maximum deposit of $1,000) per month. As a Siberian Tiger your rakeback will be 25% but, the maximum bonus you can receive is $750 per month (50% of the maximum deposit of $1,500).
As a high volume player, I'm certain that it wouldn't be an issue clearing the White Tiger deposit bonus in less than 30 days. As a Siberian Tiger, you can generate just as much rake with your bonus and you'll receive less in return.
Rakeback for POP2cash conversion (I assume this is what you were referring to when you mentioned POP) and the rakerace is also a little higher than what you've calculated.
The more you play, the more POP points you'll earn which you can use to pay for your withdrawals and purchase tournament entries. These offer the best value.
When you take into consideration the actual values and the various ways you can use POP points your effective rakeback as a White Tiger is actually higher than the 28.5% you've stated.
We are working on making these bonuses clear in stages rather than all at once, but I don't have a confirmed ETA. Possibly within the next two months.
With regards to traffic, our network is actually No2 US facing at the moment according to PokerScout. Considering that many of our players come from our US facing brands, our traffic usually peaks during their evening.
Kind regards,
Rachel
