Re: so let me get this new WPEX thing straight
WSEX GM,
The strategy you're using to implement rake free is pretty bad. Instead, you should be taking all of the rake and making it restricted funds that must be bet on sports. Then you should be making every effort to ATTRACT THE MULTITABLERS that you're right now actively repelling.
I am one of these multitablers. I paid Party a sickening $20k in rake last month rather than play on your site. Ever since the big WSEX thread a couple weeks ago, I've been looking forward to the major update where I hoped to see instant hh's (with names), ability to play >3 tables, and a host of other improvements. I'd move my play over in a heartbeat if you ever did get these changes made.
Thus, last month I would have placed $20k in sports bets if you changed your strategy. How many bettors do you have that bet $20k a month? Some, but probably not a lot. How hard to you currently try to attract them?
There are lots of multitablers like me on this board, generating enormous amounts of rake, that would gladly move all of their play over and bet their entire monthly rake on WSEX. But they never will with decisions like no names in the hh (and seriously, 3 tables? wtf) You should be encouraging us to come to WSEX, play 5,10,15 tables, generate tons of restricted rake, and then bet it all on sports.
But at a minimum, you need to focus on getting a decent base of players regularly playing on your site. Most of the time, there's still hardly any tables going, weeks after going rake free. And adding names back to the hh will clearly attract at least some players to your site.
