I have a few questions regarding Hero Poker.
1. I've been an ether level on carbon for a while now, and I remember that Carbon was allowing players to discontinue their rakeback a little while back. I would actually be getting more bonus $ if I cancel rakeback with them (if they still allow it?), so I was wondering if I would be able to open a rakeback account through Hero if i had my carbon rakeback removed.
2.My greater concern is the safety of funds. Are player funds stored differently among different skins? After seeing what happened on "black friday", I personally would feel safer having my funds on a bigger skin. I'm not really sure how funds are stored, but would I be at all worried about keeping 5-6 figure bankroll on Hero with the current climate of US legislation?
3. How are payments processed to US players? Are there any differences between skins?
Hi, sorry for the late response, trying to manage 4 forums nowadays and not running good with tournament set ups lol.
1. rakeback will always be the best rewards and in actuality should be reserved for VIPs, but since Merge was small, it was used as a competitive advantage, it can't be beat, don't give it up. If you have it on Carbon, you can't have it Hero, so its a network rule, but you're welcome to join us for anything and if you really feel strongly about it then you can email carbon support, but that is up to you, again, I'm not the CEO of the network, but of Hero.
2.Its held within separate accounts in Merge for those sites who do their processing through Merge, but my straight forward opinion is simply wait; you have nothing to lose by waiting, trying things out at a small amount. As I've said, even I'm reassessing the situation every day and at this point, while we operate as business as usual, the environment has obviously changed considerably.
3. Again, if the cashier is with Merge, as with Hero, the payments are processed from our end with the correct online gaming code, for those other sites that do use their own cashier, some of them have already exited the US market and the others I am not sure who does use or doesn't use Merge.
Thanks,
