Whether an
offshore poker site offers or allows rakeback is immaterial to me. I'm well versed in the pros and cons of a site offering rakeback (and yes, there are cons!).
The absence of rakeback does not necessarily mean that a site is good or bad, for me, or for you. My business, since you've referred to it, does not work solely with poker sites who offer rakeback. That is not now, and never was, a criteria for review or coverage.
What is relevant is that Merge Gaming (Carbon, PlayersOnly, Sportsbook) have
broken tens of thousands of contracts in the past few years. Furthermore, they have been
kicking off winning players from the site for four years now. Now that I'm out of the picture, I can't help anyone who was unfairly targeted get reinstated.
It is clear to me that the current management of
Merge Gaming does not care about poker players and has no desire to grow their player base. They use the poker room for the sole reason of feeding their casino and sportsbook. I doubt they even turn a profit on poker at this point given from what I see. It's all about funneling money into the SB/C operations.
So no, I do not recommend playing on this network at this time. And no, it's not because they ceased offering flat rakeback 4 or 5 years ago.
