Am I the only one that is a little skeptical about this no rake thing? I feel like this is just a ploy to lure in a clientele and hit us with rake once they have enough players. I have trouble believing they take the rake and refund it just out of the goodness of their heart to "let us know how much we're saving." I think the real reason may be it's easier to do it this way so they don't have to revise the software once they start actually raking. After about a year, they'll have everybody who plays online on their site because the allure of unraked hands is irresistable. Providing this kind of service for free on such a huge scale would be extremely expensive and stupid. Enjoy your free poker while you can.

Who cares? Is it that hard to just move to another site if that happens (or stick around if the room is worth it even with rake)?

Im not worried about a scam. Im worried about the site shutting down and losing your deposited money.

Have you met my friend The Zoo? He loves this sort of thing.

Enjoy paying rake the rest of your life. Playing poker with no rake is probably expensive and stupid. Keep watching rounders and paying rake. Heres a clue? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

OK, but how about waiting to complain until it happens instead of speculating who may or may not do horrible things that won't cause long-term harm to anyone who just boycotts at the time it happens?
