I thought you were trolling, but it appears you're right; four downgrades in five months. That's a troubling development.

so is this site done?...i was almost thinking or redepositing so i can play a lil sports too, but it appears cashouts suck and im assuming the poker is dead too...
There's still a smattering of poker, mainly 6 max, low limit and NL hold 'em. If you want to play some 3/6 or NL100 a table can usually be found. A handful of the older regulars occasionally drift in.
There are heads up opportunities for higher stakes but you have to be very wary of the opponents. It is reasonably well established that the HU play is bot infested.
WSEX launched a promo recently which they modeled like a rake race, but they used hand totals instead of rake generated. As such, there is now a hive of microstake activity which was surely not the intention of the promo.
If the management does still read this thread it would be a great idea to turn the promo into a rake race based on rake paid instead of numbers of hands played. This sort of promo would easily pay for itself and is the sort of thing many suggested back when WSEX still had a more robust player base. As the promo is currently structured WSEX is attracting microstakes players who are looking simply to scratch out a meager portion of the handout. This is probably exacerbating the payout issues as these players are more likely to be oriented towards more frequent, low volume payouts.
Again, a rake race will make WSEX money and likely pull in some of their former player base. Right now WSEX is just doing a counterproductive give away to a profitless microstake base. WSEX would be well advised to try to end some of these parasitic relationships they've developed.
