Moving to another site, which is best site for US Players?
 

I have read a lot of the threads about deposit problems, problems receiving checks on time, bad customer service, etc.

What is the best site? I am looking to transfer to a new home, but am a little leery of most of the sites now.

(Criteria, weigh as you see fit, whatever is most important to you-)

1) Painless transactions for US customers (Money IN and OUT)
2) Time frame for transactions
3) Customer support
4) Reliability of site (Crashes, etc)
5) Fishiness
6) Features, and usability of 3rd party software
7) Tournament variety/frequency
8) Person to person transfers allowed?
9) Add anything else that is worthwhile on your favorite site

I will give a little feedback on Sportsbook.com

1) Take regular CCs, so pretty good here
2) Deposits are immediate, have not made a withdrawal yet, but they are reported to be pretty poor
3) very poor CS. Dont return emails
4) Software seems buggy on the client side, but the site seems to be almost always up.
5) I do pretty well on the SNG, and fair on cash games, but i am nowhere near a moneymaker online yet
6) Very few features, no 3rd party software works that i am aware of
7) SNGs and tourneys are fairly frequent, but very few large tourneys
8) No

I used to play on FT until they made it so difficult to deposit. FT is much better, faster, cleaner, and withdrawals were a breeze (This was a few months ago). I think the fishiness on SB is better than FT

For the love of god, don't send him to sportsbook.

If he wants on that network, he should go through cake.

pokerstars is everything on your list except fishy.


IMO pokerstars has the toughest and tightest players out of any site.

No. WSEX is way tougher.

I would have to strongly advise you to stay away from FTP.
Their customer service is laughable, bordering on non-existent.
