The rake increase early this year really shot this site to hell. They don't offer a leaderboard interesting enough to compensate for the high rake. The base rakeback is just a joke as well. Not a good experience for a poker player.

I don't think I need to explain which store BOL is lol

I got some much needed sleep and to my surprise this early morning: Betonline's packed. I'm quite surprised. It's 1:30am here and I just see a dozen tables running at every stake. I'm not sure what's responsible for this on an early Friday morning but it's great to see.

Another tournament series with the lowest buyin $11. Wish this site would care about the true micro players who want to play $1 - $5 buyin tournaments

Bought a new laptop 10x better than my old one and now whenever I open a tournament table and want to move it to my secondary monitor either BOL client will outright crash or slow down so much that it also slows down other clients/apps.

This ONLY happens when moving the tables to the monitor, if I leave them on the laptop screen they run fine.

Did anyone experience anything similar and can help? Thanks in advance

I fixed it, had to change some settings on the Video part of settings menu (choose OpenGL_Software instead of D3D8)

Mystery solved. It's a deck of cards, and a keychain.

why has no one discussed these mystery bounty sngs where you pay $7 knock out 3 players and win the 2nd, and make $10 profit, and pays out about $15 most of the time when they take in 42 each time

PLO games are very quiet, is the rake increase killing the games?

I see BetOnline introduced a new rewards structure for sports betting, anything at all for poker players would go a long way.

I can't speak for others, however I was a regular mid-high stakes PLO player, but left when they increased the rake and added optional straddle to all tables.
