Then why are they taking the rake out in the first place? Why not just not rake the pots?

So when you go bust in their poker room, you at least have a reason to come back and dump your "rakeback" too... preferably in their sportsbook or casino.

How do they calculate rakeback for this? Is it like party, or is it like how much money they take out from the pots you win?

Can anyone confirm this? There has to be a catch somewhere.

Why?

They are hoping there will be some crossover from poker players to the sportsbook etc. The same way Party wants to convert us all to online casino players.

Then why are they taking the rake out in the first place? Why not just not rake the pots?

[/ QUOTE ]

because fish are stupid and get waaay more excited about getting $200 transfered into their account every week than not noticing they saved $200. "OMG THE MORE I PLAY THE MORE MONEY I GET BACK!!!". Kinda the same way retards get excited when a site raises the rake because now they will be getting more rakeback. I actually think this is much better than just not having a rake.

Good point.

I just downloaded the software and the games look sparse but soft. I hope this site takes off. I don't even care if everyone there is a 2+2er, 100% rakeback is... well let me just say that if I were a chick I would need to change my panties.

WSEX = RAKE FREE (which might equal) = they keep all your deposits and never let you cash-out
if Dutch Boyd is at all involved...lol

but, seriously, this sounds "too good to be true." It would sound more
true if they said they'd return 97 or 98% of your rake-back...it would have the same effect as doing 100%, plus they'd get to make
a little profit...but heck, if they want to give us back all 100%, then fine, I say!

there has to be a "catch" to this...(probably the games won't be great as
"fish don't care about rake" and all 2 + 2ers will be playing there...)

WSEX has been around forever. Huge sportsbook. 100% legit.

I see just over 1k players now. I really hope they put a lot of effort into promoting this. If they can fill enough tables, I will put in some time there.

If they can generate enough rake and deposit it into an interest bearing account, they can easily make some decent income.

Party generates how many millions a day? That's a ton of interest.

I could be completely off, but it is a reason for them taking the rake then giving it back, and also gives them a way to generate income.

I played this site a year or so ago and the players were poor. This site actually had players so I don't know why they'd want to make it a free site. Strange.

Very good opportunity though to put some pressure on the major networks that have been raising rake regularly of late.

I'll def give it a second look now.

WPEX was spectulated to have BOTS in the past (and I like tacos as much as the other vets, mind you). they seemed pretty beatable when I played there over a year ago, but maybe they're looking to test them out on some new blood.

I like how they just copied the rakeback calculator from cardcrusade. There are no 6max tables. Oh and also only 3 tables at a time? [censored] zzzzz

I was wondering how long it would be for an affiliate to begin a smear campaign.

Sick.
