PVIP rake race - Ipoker OUT!

Posted 6 years ago

Bit disappointing that all Ipoker rooms have been removed from the rake race! Any reason for this? Are Ipoker players going to have a separate promo?

Yo

Essentially IPK are making some moves which do not interest affiliates and players and is essentially very little to be done there.

We understand it is a dent in players profits and it may have come at a shock but honestly if i was still grinding I would choose many rooms over it. You would make more, find more traffic and receive more promos on:

1) Party Poker (Fast Fold cash games available)
2) GUTS They are throwing the kitchen sink at players and really crushing IMO.

We are going to run it as we have said we are in Feb but can always reasses in March. But basically the poker world is changing in terms of rooms, affiliates and players....take SkyPoker for example they just turned round one day and said "no affiliates and no future payments"....also this month StanJames are binning the brand and migrating to Unibet completely.

We have asked many IPK rooms to work closer with us, create promos, do more for players and make improvements but none could do it.

We will keep trying tho...whole point of PokerVIP is to make our players the most possible money.

Thanks for that Jon! So are the rakeback deals still valid for Ipoker or has everything gone?

Is Stan James poker just gone and the players have to move to Unibet or can you still play on your SJ account with the 30% rb?

All very confusing...................

Your iPoker deals do not change - just no challenge.

StanJames: Players will be moved to Unibet and put on their promotions which is a VIP system plus our challenge.

This is also interesting (if you check which rooms are bot supported and not)

Was on 2+2 in regards to joeingrams ACR call out: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/chicago-joey-accuses-wpn-acr-massive-botting-cheating-beware-1703281/

...I will say we only actively push/promote ONE room on that entire list. Truly trying to help our players get the most out of poker and BOTs are certainly a reason we considerate when looking at which rooms to push.

So is that saying that there are Bots on Ipoker etc? I read an article about Party being bad for Bots too but cant remember where!

Party have new bot prevention in place...IPK basically has none and bot softwares are for sale for the rooms above.

Yeah I have always been suspicious of Ipoker as there are some names in the speed games that are there every time you login!

If those guys are the best that bots have to offer then bring it on. @Jef147Smile
