No problem. It's doesn't give any advantage to know the exact numbers but thought it interesting enough to share at least.

I would argue you should at least gain a few seconds every ten minutes instead of just one. Takes forever to have a timebank again if you have to use it right away.

Anyone having an issue depositing with bitcoin?
I hit crypto, then bitcoin, enter an amount, then the screen with the BC address flashes and it goes straight to waiting for deposit to be approved. Never gives me a chance copy address to send from my wallet.

Now its just jumping to "your deposit wasn't successful" No ****, I couldn't put any info in, lol.

im having the same problem and its absolutely aggravating. Couldn't get anybody on their customer support line either.

SO what is the rules with sit out players? I always had the ideia it was 2 sit out was ok, but now 2 different players said is only one sit out, second one is breaking the sit out rules. Has someone who will play a bunch of 3 handed but no hu this sucks if true. So anyone knows how the sit out system works?

I’ve seen 3 and 4 handed games with everyone sitting out before. Maybe it’s only enforced when someone reports it. I’m interested in this as well bc I’m willing to table start and play 3h but don’t want to give HU action.

I thought the only sit out rule was if you've been sat out for a certain amount of time you get kicked from the table. I think its only like 10 min or 2 orbits. I've even sat in waiting for the bb to come back around and lost my seat because i didn't get to play a hand in time.

According to https://www.betonline.ag/rules#poker-rules

And from www.tigergaming.com/rules#poker-rules

So, it is clear from the above that it is not permitted to join a table and sit out at all, regardless of the number of players already at the table.
Likewise, it is not permitted to sit out when the rec player sits out / loses stack.

Apparently the support team prefers screenshots from the hand history replayer where possible when reporting. Obviously that's often not possible, e.g. - when it's a new table and players are camping.

As for sitting out when rec player sits out - play a few rounds you useless nitgoblins. Fold everything except for premiums if you feel you're out of your skill depth that much. Or leave the table. Or move down. Or gfy

Seriously though, are most people reading this for or against players sitting out with the rec? If against, let's start reporting the serial offenders? If for, well

gl at the tables most of you

Anyone else having issues with payouts? I've been in an ongoing process trying to get this payout for 4 days now through bitcoin. It's been sitting in an approved status for 24 hours now. The whole process used to take about that long.

Sure, why not? It's not like there's this one big secret top pros don't want you to know! Doctors hate number 7! You won't believe number 3! You seem like a cool and helpful chap, get in touch m8

Thanks Glory. Wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic at first, because, y'know, forums... but looks like you're a genuinely positive and decent character! Nice one, good luck on the grind dude.

Just received one. Took less time than that.
Once approved, usually goes through in <24hrs. Once or twice it hasn't.
Give it another 12-24hrs, then give support a nudge through live chat. Probably won't help, but worth a try.

Alright thanks. Over the weekend they said they were having issues with payouts, and a couple people earlier today in this thread said they couldn't deposit through bitcoin so I was a little worried.

Payouts have been a little weird recently. My last one, via btc, was marked as paid about 12-15 hrs before I actually received it. I got a BOL email saying it processed one day(previously BOL emails timed exactly with btc being received), but the payment wasn't received until the following evening.

My most recent one was requested: 2/9, authorized 2/10@4pm, and hasn't processed yet.

That was my interpretation as well which is why I was confused when I saw people camping. I’ve seen as many as 4 people sitting out before with no cards being dealt. Seems like everyday I opened the lobby I’d see games with only 2 people both sitting out. Or possibly one person sitting out and the other waiting to actually play, I’m not certain.

Can you get retracked on same account?

none knows?

if You are talking about 4% that they have paid for years, they still do

received btc today 2/13@2pm

Yea I found if you contact them and give them a friendly reminder it seems to show up soon. Requested cash out on the 10th, contacted live support 2 hours ago and it just hit my wallet.

No I had about 30% rb at there about year ago.

I meant to post this earlier in the week, but I've been sick and didn't get back to my computer since Monday. It's crazy how a change from Quad Jacks to Quad 8s as the minimum requirement has caused the frequency of it occurring to increase so much.








Unfortunately I wasn't sitting at a BBJ table at the time. I assume the share for players at other BBJ tables wasn't that much since 10% of the $119,238.69 is split between them and it was hit while there was a decent amount of traffic.

I'm not sure when this was added, but if you have feedback for the poker room then there's an official place for you to give them some.

For all the tournament players-- Please take a minute and send feedback asking to add more time to the extended timebanks

Thanks for posting that Cheapsuit! I agree that the increase could be slightly more and/or occur slightly faster. Perhaps you could put your suggestion in the new dedicated area.


Do you mean from an affiliate or directly through one of the sites? There certainly hasn't been direct rakeback from the sites in the last couple years, let alone the last year. I believe their stance is that affiliates are no longer supposed to offer rakeback to their players. I believe that policy started a couple years back.

The VIP points are their only official form of rakeback at the moment. It obviously sucks in comparison to the rakeback programs at several other sites, but this is the direction some sites are going these days. The Winning Poker Network is the only network that accepts players from the USA, has decent traffic and provides decent rakeback and most of us cash game players would still rather not play there.


I think live chat, phone and then email in that order are the best ways to contact them. Let us know if you got it resolved. It seems like there was some cashier issues for a few different people in the beginning of the week.


I believe in a fairly strict interpretation of that rule. If I see somebody sitting out at a table and playing at another for more than an orbit then I will say something in chat. I give people some leeway if they are sitting out at all of their tables for an occasional break. I won't say anything if the table isn't full either, but it is against what is written in the rules. I don't blame people for not wanting to pay short-handed rake at a BBJ table.

There are definitely some major frequent offenders of the entire rule to the worst extent as some of you have described. PimpyLimpy comes to mind as the absolute worst one I know of. On top of that he's a strickly short-stacking bumhunter with one of the fastest seat scripts. He will immediately sit out if the only rec at the table does.

I think calling these guys out at the tables, in the thread and finally to support is reasonable. They are clearly breaking the rule. We could also put some feedback in the suggestion box with regards to this, but I don't have much faith that this will get properly policed and is similar to my lack of faith in their bot prevention.


LOL. If I find a specific area I'm struggling with then I'll certainly take you up on your offer. I've only recently started playing some 500NL and I might need some advice on surviving the tougher tables since I'm not part of the seat scripting or table camping crew.


I'm not sure what you mean by retracked? Could you please explain a little more about what you are asking?


This is good advice. Thanks Numbnutlow!

I just requested a staking feature in the software, let us buy stake from someone in the market and automatically handle the division payout. Lets see if they can make it happen.

I hate the tiny timebanks on this site. Makes cash games not worth playing at all IMO.
