[WSEX GM]

WSEX began the 100% rakeback program as a benefit to their sportsbook players and with the hopes that poker players would cross over and play at the WSEX sportsbook and casino. There was not enough cross-over and the costs of moving money have significantly increased since we started the program.

We still offer the highest unrestricted rakeback in the industry. Only now it is not costing us money every month. It also gives us room to bring in a couple of specialized marketing companies, if you know what I mean.

We really wanted it to work, but it just wasn't.
