Australia - options for Australian Players - Page 4 - Internet Poker

Party is not sticking around in the AUS market. I doubt any publicly traded company will.

WPN has plenty of volume for a low stakes 4 tabler.

WPN has rakeback - 27% flat rate. They also have a VIP program, but it is better for high volume players and as described, you should stick to the flat rakeback option.

Visa and other credit cards are not going to have a 100% acceptance rate in the new normal of the Aus market. You're probably going see only get a 50-60% acceptance rate across the board. Bitcoin will work 100% of the time unless it faces user error.

Thanks for the tips. Yeah turns out I couldn't deposit because my ID hasn't been vertified yet. Now I need to jump through hoops for another couple days to get that sorted out.

Think I'll give Ignition a crack via BTC. Do you know how soft the WPN games are? Is volume reasonable enough? Is BCP on WPN network?

I tried to make a cashout with NT a couple of weeks ago and it never made it to my bank, bounced back to my NT account and I had to swap with another poker player in the UK and get them to wire it to me. Haven't tried another withdraw since. NT support is horrible if you email them. The best option is to phone them, you can get answers straight away doing that.

I cashed out from stars to NT prior to the change in legislation. No problems. I deposited and withdrew using NT over a number of years and had provided id and utility bill in the past.

Has anyone used Skrill to withdraw from stars, has anyone had any problems with them.
They take ages to reply to emails and in some cases no reply at all.

I had to phone them after no email reply in 7 days and they told me they charge 5.5 euro max and 3.99% for conversion do they charge more then Poli do?

I have left funds in stars account since our $ is down a lot.
And looking for a cheaper way to withdraw if anyone knows a better method can you pls let me know thx in advance.

But, assuming I go from coinjar to blockchain and then to a poker site, what is to stop my blockchain account getting closed instead?

Your Blockchain account is YOURS. No one controls it but YOU.

The games at WPN are much tougher than Ignition generally speaking. This is a result of Ignition focusing primarily on recreational players. This comes forward in their welcome bonus (that clears at a 100%(!) rate in the beginning) which is very favorable for micro and low stakes players. After the welcome bonus expires there is no such thing as a rakeback system. WPN offers a 27% flat rakeback deal for all players which is more interesting to advanced grinders and professional players obviously, but thereby increasing the average playing level.

Yeah I figured as much. The 27% is pretty sick. Some decent coin in it if you can mass table 50-100nl, although I think at that point you're better off on the VIP system so you can cash the beast?

Will wait to see if Ignition sort their **** and let me play on that site.

I can't play on any of those sites because i can't stand the software and bitcoin. I've given up all online poker and its the worst thing ever .. try filling that void in. I hope when this report is released they act straight away and don't sit on it for 5 years then forget about it.

There's an app that a load of the guys at Star are playing on that I might sign up for, but feels like there's too many collusion opportunities for me to feel comfortable with it

If it had player names, it wouldn't be anonymous.

When this thread was started I didn't think 'whinging' would end up being the default option for Australian players.

Seems appropriate to me given the circumstances.

Oh true. So for the high volume 50-200nl grinders, what's the equivalent rb% for the VIP system? Obv >27% I'm guessing?

I did adapt, i just stopped playing and it was/is still damaging. Stars is the only site worth playing. These others just create more problems then they're worth, and the software is so slow i literally just uninstalled all of them a few hours after downloading it. They're illegitimate bs sites that shouldn't be promoted nor played. Hard truth.

That's your prerogative. But if you trust these sites with any funds at all you are careless. You might cash out problem free many times but it's inevitable a problem will happen. Them disobeying laws of a country and operating anyway should put a red flag up immediately.....each to their own.

OK. So the sky is gonna fall one day. I should FEAR that- False Evidence Appearing Real. Six and one half years after Black Friday, still playing on Carbon w/o incident. Multiple cash outs up the ying yang. Good luck with the U.S. trying to go after .eg or .au domains. Life is for the living. Mercy!
