Re: What if anything can we do to help WPEX gain market share?
 

Funny, the idea to help the gain traffic is to get them to charge rake.Catch 22 i guess,cause if they charge rake like everyone else,why even bother playing there? No bonuses,and a boat load of 2+2`rs there.The minute they charge rake im gone.

I say 75% RB, 25% rake, and friggin' advertise.

Basically the the all winners win more, the big losers lose less (per unit of time), the breakeven guys win, and the small losers breakeven.

If party was to stop charging rake these statements would apply. At WSEX however I would say that any fish that does find himself wandering into a game would get routed in quick time by the 7-8 TAGS that infest the tables, rakeback or not. Loose calls in a tight game is a much bigger mistake than loose calls in a loose game.

Perhaps spam the free money tables with links to WPEX and a brief explanation of what rake is (everyone loves a bargain). To US citizens it doesn't matter if Party shuts down their accounts.

So if they rake 100% of the pot, but give you back 75% you'd be happy with that. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I think you have the right idea. What if they raked $1 for every flop seen? That would save people money over the basic sites, but give them some revenue to advertise, upgrade software, etc.

They charged rake for years. That didn't seem to encourage their affiliates to promote them hard, or a plethora of advertising.

How bout we just let them do their thing and enjoy the rake free site, OK?

Thanks.

I wouldn't mind if it became 90% RB, leaving them with a profit and some $ for marketing.

rake is charity? how come people didn't say that about party?

Is there any kind of law that says you can't run adverts for a company that isn't yours? I wouldn't be too surprised if there were: You couldn't run an ad that was subtly bad for a rival, right?

not an expert by any means but i expect there is no direct law against this, although I suppose persons and businesses are protected from this through the (copyright) protection of trademarks & images (logo's)
