$500,000 BETFAIR POKER 2 LAUNCH PARTY

I currently clear a reasonable monthly amount of Betfair RakeBack each month through RakeTheRake.com, but I note that on a PokerListings review of the OnGame network, it states a downside of the network as NO Rakeback.

Does this mean I will lose the current RakeBack deal I have?

How does the loyalty scheme work?

RB customers:
Existing customers on a Rakeback scheme continue on that scheme unless they choose to be a part of the Betfair Players" Club. The Players" Club allows players to exchange Player Points for cash. Player Points are automatically generated as you play Poker for real money (for more information on Player Points, click here). In the future we will be stocking the Betfair Players" Club with an entire range of items for players to choose from.

Looks sort of "Tilt" like to me.

Looks sort of "On Tilt" like to me.

I thought Ladbrokes were on the OnGame Network but I see that MicroGaming sites just look very similar.

These are OnGame softwares;

BWIN
TowerGaming
RedKings
SmartLivePoker
Betsson
PrimePoker
Hollywood Poker

Add to that list

Best Poker
Bet24
Betsafe
Coral
Eurobet
Gala

ok, so is this move going to be a good thing or not? What does everyone think?

I"ve no idea personally, don"t have an opinion - yet

Gotta be a good thing as the current software is soooooobad!

If they can add more games PLO8, Stud8 etc. then I"m all for it.

Anything would be an improvement over the current mess TBH

I"m gutted!!  Combining the general Betfair userbase with players who currently play on other poker sites is a bad thing. The standard of play at Betfair is generally so very fishy and poor - adding other sites across the OnGame network can only serve to increase the standard of opposition at each table

That said though, more volume will be a bonus.
