How are the HUSNG's on Everleaf? Specifically, micro stakes. Any input is appreciated!

They are getting better. The more that join and play the quicker they will fill.

What are the buy-in options for <$10, including rake? Any variation in terms of games or speeds? Thanks!

Rake is 10% on all upto $5, and 5% on all $10 and upwards. There are speed, SuperSonic(1 Minute blinds), LuckyDip(all in every hand), double up, Timewarp(no blind increase) and Regular tables.

Neil

So there are $5 and $10 games. Nothing under five or between that and ten? And what's the "double up" variation? One last thing, if you don't mind finding out for me (I appreciate all this, btw), how long are the blind levels in the regular and speed games? Thanks, Neil, you definitely inspire confidence in the Minted.

Hi 4_ducks,

There are many buy ins below the $5 mark; 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $3 & $5. with a 10 min clock on regular and 5 min clock on speed.

A double up is where 1/2 the field double their money and the other 1/2 get ZERO!

Hi Neal, can I make a min deposit using Western Union and then cashout my balance with Western Union? Are there any playthrough requirements before a withdrawal?

Is there a limit for western union max that you can send or any amount. Some sites have 1k max u can send how about minted?

Does the site alow huds?

Hi Neil,

I'm the guy who made a withdrawal before this thread blew up using a wire transfer, and got a hefty percentage of my withdrawal taken out for no reason. We all understand the $16 wire transfer fee imposed by our U.S. banks, but where did the rest of my money go?

You said you would look into my case, but I never got any replies. I took my business elsewhere. I just found it ironic that on two different occasions I pointed out something about the way Minted runs things, and the complaints were just ignored.

There is a 1K max Cashout per week. I think it's the same on deposits but not sure.

If you do more you risk getting black listed by Western Union.

I did the WU from a physical location and it went thru in ~1 hour.

Woah rake is capped at 5 Euros?? That's insane. I was playing at a 50NL table and noticed rake being capped at 5 Euros...that's $7+ max rake at 50NL...ridiculous



How can we identify which tables have a max rake cap of 3 Euros? I don't understand why is it not capped at 3 Euros across all tables? I think you guys really need to look into this... 5 euro capped is terrible for NL/PL games but its absolutely unbeatable for Limit games.

So I have the deposit bonus that clears in 10 increments. Overall 8,000 player points. So i should be getting 10% or the bonus everytime I clear 800 player points? correct?

Sorry, we got our lines crossed. I was talking exclusively about HUSNGs. That's why it sounded funny when you said there were double-or-nothings, lol; they're all double or nothing!

Neil,

I was finally able to get money on, and have been enjoying the site. I do have a question (and some feedback) about tourney seating. I played a $2 tourney last night, one that maxed out at 26 players. When we were down to 13-15 players, we were split across 3 tables, then when we got down to 12, it switched to 6 handed on two tables, and then randomly switched back to 3 tables, 4-handed, with the same 12 players. Any reason for this? Why would it switch back and forth, and why 4 handed if there's only 12 players and it wasn't a short-handed tourney?

Also, when we were down to 8 players, we were split across two tables, instead of just playing a single final table. I busted 7th, so I'm not sure when it went to a single table, but certainly playing 4 handed (when we didn't need to?) changed game play, etc.

Maybe I'm missing something or am just dense? Is there a specific reason for seating as described above? In all of my experiences on other sites, play has always occurred on as few tables as possible.

Thank you.

Rake is insane only drawback . I couldn't figure out why didn't have more players as fast cashouts and can cashout from western union. Probably why they have 40 percent rakeback. Are games beatable with 5 euros at 50pl and nl? Also, is rakeback based on contributed? Thks

Weighted contributed, the least grinder friendly form of Rakeback, though almost all poker rooms are giving rakeback this way now (besides ofcourse pokerstars).

The games need to be really soft to be able to sustain a positive winrate with 5 euro capped. From the times I have been playing, that is not the case, atleast at 50NL. Though to be fair, my sample size is small. Yes, it is softer than other sites and definitely softer than merge but not enough to compensate for the more than double capped rake (~$7.1 USD).

The USD tables have max rake $3 so those are the tables I am trying to play but I'm lucky if I can find atleast 2-3 USD tables across different stakes.

Also, HU tables defintely need their rake to be capped at $0.50 like most sites out there.

I hope Everleaf really looks into their rake structures and makes some changes.

On the signup page it asks for a Nickname and a Username. It won't let you pick the same for both. What is the difference between the two?

Also, according to rakebackaces.com, the rakeback calculation method is "dealt." Is that true for that rakeback provider or are they all "contributed?"

And for the twoplustwo rakeback link posted on the OP, is that auto deposited into your account weekly or how does it work?

Hey Neil, for the 4,444 hands in a day promotion, is there anywhere on the Minted client where you can view how many hands you have played?

Tried to make a first time deposit via western union. No money in account and no deposit pending. Support said it "could not be processed." I uploaded WU payment slip and was told I would hear from them soon.

This is my first deposit on one of the non-"major" sites. 2p2 Please assure me everything will be okay.

Your right it is absolutely ridiculous and one of the major things that keep Everleaf from growing.

Many of us have asked Everleaf to look at their Rake and make adjustments on the Euro tables. Unfortunately, they have remained consistent with their reply and it is basically that you do not have to play the Euro tables. While this is true that we do not have to play the Euro Tables, the fact is that 80%+ of the tables are on Euro tables which leaves us to either play the Euro tables, or to not play our normal volume.

This is one of the major reasons that I play on multiple Networks. If Everleaf were to change the Rake on Euro tables to cap it at 3, I would put most(if not all) of my volume on Everleaf. I also think that in the long run Everleaf would make more money because the site would grow tremendously. Now would be the time to make these changes and to make a major announcement about it. With the US market looking for a new site a lot of the players who know that the rake is capped at 5 Euros refuse to play on Everleaf.

Unfortunately as I said above, Everleaf has been consistent in saying that we don't have to play these tables. I don't see them making these changes at this time. If more people start to bring this to Everleaf's attention, it can only help though.

One last thing: why do the Euro players play on the Euro tables? Now that the Networks are combined shouldn't they have access to USD tables and therefore be able to play the lower raked tables? I don't understand it and I know some of them are probably just not aware of the Rake, but 80%+ of the tables are Euro tables and it's hard for me to believe that many of the players are unaware.

If you want to play against unaware people it will cost you more $ !

If the rake is so high that players cannot win then they will not come back. I am sure Foreverleaf knows this. There are supposed to be 30 tables that are capped at 3 euros. I do not know how they are designated or if they are even there.

I just signed up and the best thing is the sound when you start the client and log in.

To me it still doesn't make sense. They are reducing their growth and player pool to take advantage of unaware players. This also significantly affects Grinders because the weak recreational players go broke much faster and the majority of their money is going to the site and not other players where it remains in the poker economy.

What , if anything , can you do with the pionts that you accumulate on minted. There is no VIP program or store to use them in.

Cash outs are made back to the method you used to fund your account 1st then you’re free to use WU if you wish.

Hi JMicLett,

I think it is unfair to say you never got replies. As it has been mentioned on many occasions before, MintedPoker do not charge for Wire cash outs. You will find there are intermediary banks that do charge PLUS your own bank.

It appears the 3 Euro max tables have been removed during the last upgrade. I will request they return.

That is correct. If you have got to 800 points log into the web site, go to My Account>bonus>check bonus. Your bonus will then appear in your account shortly afterwards.

You’re correct; apologies for my error.

There is no reason for this to happen. The only way I can have I.T. look into this is if you can provide me with the tournament I.D. or the approximately the time you were playing and confirm that the event was a $2 freezeout? If you know this can you email it over to me please?
