Too bad that doesn't make up for the fact that WPN still doesn't offer a Mac client and is reported to constantly crash.

Everything about WPN is buggy.

Why do you think the best team almost always wins in the NBA playoffs and not in the NFL? It's a 7 game series compared to 1 and done.

Not to mention how unfair it is in the regular MTTs when you've played for 3 44 minutes and someone buys in with a minute to go >10 from the $ and wins 5 straight all ins and wins the tournament by playing for an hour.

Quit blindly defending this POS site and acknowledge the issues with this format and use your "pull" to help make things better.
Amen, preach on man.

These guarantees are a joke... play 4 hours just to min-cash a crappy guaranteed MTT. On top of that, take away features like the tagging system, make the structure worse for all MTTs that don't have 5K stacks and 15 min. blinds to 10 min. blinds and 3K stacks (80% of all scheduled MTT's) plus basic stuff like how many players are on the site playing cash/MTT's. Are you kidding me? The least you could do to the remaining loyal customers is give them decent structures in ALL MTT's, not just the ones that run a couple times a day like the Nightly and Noon MTT's.

I can't wait for a REAL poker site to accept US players in FLA/CHI already. So ready to quit Merge. It just gets worse and worse, what's next? Take out the color-coding system (now the only way to categorize players) and the ability to take notes?

I've been playing on Merge exclusively for the last 3-3.5 years and I can say without a doubt that things are and have been going in the WRONG direction.
I haven't even mentioned those tourney pop up ads that tell you a certain MTT is still open for reg... 3.5 hrs into the MTT. Real d-bag move. You can tell Merge is doing everything in their power to conceal any evidence of their site going under just to screw the remaining customers for as much as they can. This is the only site I've ever played on that WON'T tell you how many are playing cash/MTT's... gee, I wonder why? The player points system... LMFAO, that's joke #2.

Squeeze as much $ as you can from your customers Merge before other sites open up to US players and leave you in the dust. Sounds like a great business model. I'm sure you'd survive once all the US players left. The idiots that still play on Merge when PS is available to them out of the US would support your business... the only ones dumber than Merge management.

I mean, do you really think Merge can profit to stay open off the U.S. rec's while most reg's leave the site? All your promotions are weak, you got a crappy Maximus or OPS series every couple of months which are the same regurgitated MTT's w/ different names and they're getting worse because less people are interested and the guarantees keep going down. I don't know what's worse, the way this site is being run in the past 1.5 years or me still playing on this BS site due to very limited options OR the fact Merge is just crapping all over the remaining loyal regs.

I know one thing, I've made my last deposit on any Merge site and will be depositing on Bodog before I re-deposit on this "poker site".

I don't even care if they go belly up tomorrow, even if I lost a couple hundred in my BR... at least I know someone would be taking their place soon. Yea, Merge... you really know how to treat your customers. I wouldn't mind losing my BR once you went bust if it meant I had other options soon. What does that say about how your customers feel about your "service"? POS site, good riddance. U.S. players continue to be slapped in the face putting up with these awful options while the rest of the world gets to play on PS and FT, FTW and F Merge.

To be fair, quite a few sites don't show the number of players online and the structures(as far as playing, not concerning lolreentry/latereg) has been improved greatly.

Oddspoker I don't know about.

OddsMaker is owned and operated by the Futurebet guys. Futurebet is a scam company that on multiple occasions has closed dozens of properties and stolen millions of dollars from players, affiliates, and white label operators. As a player, they stole 100k of my bankroll in one such situation.


Stay way from Futurebet properties, they are always good for a few years until they pull the rug out from under everyone and then start the same scam up again.

i'm in no way a Merge complainer, but c'mon.

how hard is it to reset the SnG leaderboard?

can it seriously be any more involved than clicking a "reset" button"?

almost 48 hours into the new week's competition, someone really should have clicked the button by now

Over/under on when the $215 DHR is going to be a $12.5k GTD? then a 10k?

I've noticed it not hitting the 15k gtd some lately, meanwhile Bovadas nightly $60 20k gtd with no re-entries hit 33k the other night.

goooo merge

It did reset other than maybe the $1.10 regular/turbo?

I know the hypers are definitely accurate.

Haha, there are a few people good for $1K+. I find it quite hilarious how someone would drop 1/4th 1st place in a MTT no matter how easy the field is.

Quick question, does anybody have any experience playing Merge from Nevada? I understand Nevada residents are not permitted to sign up on merge, but if I have an already established account (and keep my old billing address). Am I allowed to play merge from a Nevada IP without breaking TOS? I have been informed that it IS allowed, but just trying to confirm this with somebody who has experience with it.

Thanks guys

Interesting article from 2010 written by Calvin Ayre. It's mostly about Jen Larson and Lock, but at the bottom he talks about Merge management killing their network because they don't know what they are doing. He was spot on..
