Mohsen, have you tried to get tech to tunnel into your PC?

No need
It is not a problem that could be fixed from their side.
I am in a location that can only use 1 ISP. This ISP has issues with Taiwan uplinks and they can't fix it.
I have a response time of +3000 from GGs servers(again, my internet problem)
So nothing could be done about it at the moment until I move.

Gotcha glgl

It is a well known system, that even CoinPoker or what that new poker site is called uses, making it more rec friendly; what's the point of rewarding winners more than losers? And don't the winners benefit of that also? I prefer a lower rake for people raking more, but that's just me, as it seems more fair to me, but the relatively new movement of rec friendly sites have an another opinion.

That same site (CP) also compares its rake to Asian rakes, that's weird (their wallet might be in Estonia or something like that but I am not at all sure about that), but they seem to have the Asian population also in mind.

Asian rakes are generally mega-high, likely as they have such high standards of living. It just is how things are, nothing abnormal in that. Or you can skip places like Goa (poker) and play in Bangalore, if you get in, as they have a lower rake, or fish out some other Asian place for more reasonable rakes.

There is also the rest of the world rakes; Macau is superhigh rake, western europe is higher than USA rakes generally, and eastern europe might have some more reasonable rakes at some limits and about uncapped but more moderately raked games in other limits, and there is maybe some model of that at GG (for PLO perhaps, or at least should be).

Getting any rakeback is a donations from their part if they don't need to or whatever.

As a side note, if someone is worried of it not being fair gaming, you can always observe the games a couple of times at least, and although I don't think the games anywhere are all fair, I have yet to see a site where one can't win at all, although I didn't stay long at Hive in spite of first running fine, so my trust in some less trusted sites is lower, but overall the industry generally doesn't prevents anyone from winning if you can beat your competition and the rake. It would not be and imo isn't considered to be smart busniess, if they would prevent it completely.

The rake might be the issue on this, it not being the first time when some medium limit player can't beat a higher rake and weaker players.

Very well written

I get 5%, but you could look at it from a different point of view....

For every $1 we put in, $0.1767 of equity gets side-tracked into the fortune cookie game, 0.05 goes as rake and 0.7733 goes as prizes for the poker game. You have to defeat the rake in the poker section, so it makes sense to count rake relative to the poker prizes only and take the fortune cookie as neutral EV. This gets us - for every 0.8233 of non-cookie money we pay five cents of rake, or 6.0644%

Are there any rakeback affiliates for GGPoker?

Hi,
1. The Rake Race on GGNetwork has started yesterday (1 December) and will end on 31 December.
I just saw the leaderboard and I think that they have some suspicious top players.

In my opinion the generated rake is too much considering that are only 4-6 tables on each stake NL100 ,NL200, NL400.


2. In other case the Fish Buffet is another subject very interesting because I had exactly 8 spins from 10 with the minimum 10% rakeback and only 2 was 30%.

I want to ask your opinion about this subjects .

Thank you and happy grinding.

If that rate is sustained there are a lot of bots in that leaderboard.

Gg network is a fraud. For 15 days, Im waiting for my money that I cashed out.
Still nothing is arrived on my à count. When I contact them, they are telling me that there is a bug that they trying to fix and bla bla bla but no money. GG NE WORK IS SCAM!

Which poker site did you play on?

Anyone else having trouble with the software maxing out their cpu and memory? I'm on a Windows 10 system with a dated cpu and 8gigs of ram but I can run most other sites just fine. I cant even get 2 tables to run on PPI Poker.

this

and i play on Bestpoker skin,they change the rake back system without any notice(no email) so,suddenly no more flat 35% rb deal..just some VIPsystem bull**** by point,determine your rake back..

the funny thing is,you cant track your rakeback(the rb pay is late)..and this december they hold 100k rake race,without any sort of how we can track the progress or where we're at..

i guess hoping to get some rb in online poker is over now,i might as well back play on pokerstars

The rakeback system from the network has always been a pvi based system. Anyone offering "flat rakeback" is lying. The network reports less of an amount raked for winning players to the agents and rakeback is paid on that amount.

It's in their terms and conditions.

well,the first 2mo or so,i play with flat 35%rb..just since this late november they change the system

The first 2 months the perhaps you weren't yet classed as a winning player having had your rakeback cut? The network reports wrong numbers for winning players and they get their rakeback on that. That's sadly how it is. Also, You should be getting 50% (of the adjusted number) at least. Goodluck!

So can you tell me if I am better off going through an affiliate vs the site's fish themed reward system?

Are tables always really slow to load on GGPoker?

For me they are but I don't have a super fast processor.

I am noob,don't know about any of that..but since they change the VIP system,I am thinking moving to Natural8 with their fish system lol..not to mention the delay of RB/VIP payment.. I've been waiting for almost 2weeks now for my RB(I know it's not a lot..but still) Bestpoker failed me

Is that because my internet connection slow?

is anyone still playing here?
I would like to hear your opinions of Fishbowl rake structure that started one month ago.
What is average % of rakeback you receive from spinning?

Last I saw theres 7K concurrent players but how many are active at the tables I cant tell.

There isnt any chatter about fish buffet since its start in October so I guess no ones complaining ala PS chest

Fishbuffet already started. I am playing there last 6-7 months and there is big player pool, and I would like to compare Rakeback % with someone who is playing there

Is all-in insurance genuinely fee-free? I'd like to use it sometimes if it really does offer the same EV with reduced variance. I keep meaning to look into it but never get around to it.
