personally id like to se the cards when AI, but i do of course realize that not showing has its advantages.
One idea would be to make like straddle option tables. would make your site uniqe if that where to be an option at select tables..

Hey

We have updated the software this morning.

The following has been updated:

- The tourney lobby refreshes more often
- A more info button has been added instead of clickable text
- The tournament lobby now displays the minimum amount of players for tournament start at all times
- The "Hide full/empty" tickboxes are now moved down to avoid them blocking the lowest row in the tournament lobby
- The chip tray is now always set at the same location even after resizing (it previously moved)
- The hand description is now only active after the full hand has been dealt to avoid confusion
- An option to hide the upcoming tournament announcements has been created

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Why don't you run some freeroll tournaments like the Shatsa tournaments that Everest had in the past (Don't know if they still have it!)

Those tournaments was with $0.10 prizepool each on SNG format, starting everytime 10 players are registered.

That is definately something we can do in the future. Please post your suggestion here and we will take note of it. However I don't know how quickly we will be able to create them as we are currently priotizing improving the software, and not graphics.
Bright coloured cardbacks to make it easier for multi-tabling, like yellow or just giving users a multiple choice of their own. I believe this can be accomplished easily but don't expect it to be a top priority. Thanks for listening to us.

Hey Yoangov,

Ironically we have been running a sng format similar to this for over 2 weeks now.

Go to the SNG lobby and you will see a freeroll sng named "Bankroll Builder Step 1" with €0.0 in buy-in and €0.10 in the prize pool.

We have additional Sit and go's that you use can continue building your bankroll

Hey,

Not at this time I'm afraid. We don't have enough players to fill such a sng MTT/Tournament at this time.

In the future however we aim to have these up and running.

Hi everyone,

This has now been adjusted accordingly.

After all your feedback we decided to alter the tournament layout.

We have given the entire tournament schedule a re-vamp where we have altered the tournaments to fit the current player database we have. Of course this will be an ongoing process and the tournaments will have higher guarantees as the player number increases.

The minimum amount of players required for each tournament has also been changed to enable the GTDs to start more frequently.

As usual please let us know if you have any feedback or questions.

It probably shouldn't be possible to select one of the options on the right at the same time as the fold to any bet checkbox on the left.

So for instance if I have fold to any bet checked and then for some reason change my mind and check the bet checkbox I would expect the fold to any bet checkbox to become unchecked.

Instead it will bet and then fold as soon as someone else makes a bet - it would be better if as soon as I check the raise checkbox if the "fold to any bet" checkbox becomes unchecked. Otherwise I can end up folding when I don't mean to fold.

Hello again ChasingAces,

I appreciate your constant activity in this thread and the feedback you give us.

I have sent this to the developers and we will have it changed with the next update.

Please send me a PM and I will give you €10 cash as a good will for your always constructive feedback.

Best regards,

Hey everyone, hope you all had an eventful weekend!

Thanks again ChasingAces, I have give you €10 for your feedback.

Yesterday, we managed to get a 6max NL100 table full and running during the evening, which proves things are moving in the right direction!

Any feedback on the new tournament structure? I'm aware it is a little on the low end, but it is great for anyone trying to build a bankroll as the players are quite poor.

The buy-ins and guarantee's are constantly reviewed and will be increased as our liquidity improves.

If you don't have any cash you can work your way up with our freeroll sit and go tournaments!

Hello!

Here are the newest updates to our software:

1. You can get your hand history by going to "account - hand history".
2. The fold to bet button logic has been improved as requested by ChasingAces
3. You can now close the Tournament announcements, we've added a close button for all these messages.

As usual, let me know if you have any ideas to improve our software.

When you do add more tournaments id like more turbo ones with 5 minute blind levels, thank you

Maybe you could also add a weekly tournament leaderboard giving points to players depending how they perform in each tournament, and then giving the top 5-10 players each week a prize?

Maybe this would increase traffic in your mtts.

Hello,

Noted, I will speak with management about creating more turbos for you.

Concerning the weekly leaderboard I don't wish to spoil too much, but we do have that coming very shortly. We are just finalizing some details and I will announce it here once it is complete.

It is in the lines of what you are asking, so I hope you will be satisfied!

You don't serve people from Estonia?

I can't see the option when registering.

Hey,

Currently we do not allow registrations from Estonia.

There are however discussions about the legality of operating there and if I get any information that would indicate that this will change I will inform you in here.

Best regards,
09-27-2011 , 09:54 AM
Understood.


Best of luck to you

Hi everyone,

We are expecting a small player surge today, expected to peak this evening between 18-20 CET.

Be sure to take advantage of this and join in on the action.

Hi

What can you tell us about the safety of players money (as this is a very big issue at the moment).

Hey,

You raise a very good question. Today a lot of players are really on edge when it comes to the safety of their funds - and no wonder after the black friday events.

The b3w network is licensed by the LGA in Malta. In order to have this license all funds needs to be kept segregated. As you might know, most of the european poker sites are licensed by the LGA.

In other words we are not able to touch any of the player funds, and the only money we receive is the daily rake.

All players funds are 100% safe with Yachting poker.

If you have any further questions on this subject please let me know and I'll be glad to keep everyone posted in this thread.

Beat regards,

Thanks for the quick reply. Does b3w hold the players money then? and if so is that ringfenced?
09-28-2011 , 04:47 PM
Another thing troubling me is that B3W have no contact details whatsoever on their website apart from an email address.

How can you expect anybody to be have faith in that?

I'd love to come and try your site but at the moment it's a big NO.
09-28-2011 , 04:53 PM
great posts gravy and this is the reason why I havent tried it out also

Hey,

I can confirm that b3w holds the money ringfenced. As per LGA license legislations we have to prove on a monthly basis that the funds are being kept separately. If you view this list you will find that b3w is licensed by the LGA.

http://www.lga.org.mt/lga/content.aspx?id=87005

http://www.lga.org.mt/lga/content.aspx?id=109045

The reason there aren't any contact details on the b3w site is due to the fact that this is a b2b (business to business) site and is not meant for the customers.

However the b3w site has been in operation for years now and has been a b2b casino software and white label site mainly.

The poker network will have it's own site shortly, and it is currently under production. Once completed I will post the new network site here.

All contact details for yachting poker can be found here:
http://www.yachting-poker.com/poker/...er_contact.asp

If you have any more doubts about our operations please feel free to ask, and I would be glad to find any info you require on our business.

Best regards,
