Bad beaten by Interpoker
Hello,
I've been playing on Interpoker for 5 months, mostly because of their 100$ monthly bonus for 500 raked hands reward, but recently I have been really bad beaten by them. They made changes in September to the bonus by allowing only 1/2$ and above limit and no limit games to earn any raked hands. That means that even a 300$ pot playing NL100 wont be considered a "raked hand" even if they pick up that 3$ rake from the pot. So, you can't even unlock the bonus unless you play higher stakes. Well, I didn't know they had made that change. Reading their site, here's their September change : From 1st September 2006, all hands played on 1 / 2 Unit ($/£/€) tables and above, where ANY rake is taken will count as a raked hand. I misinterpreted this statement, thinking that from September 1st, all hands played on 1/2 unit and abovem where ANY rake is taken will count as a raked hand BUT that lower stakes would still get 1/4 and 1/2 of a raked hand WHEN the pot is high enough (as it used to be in the previous months). So I make a deposit earlier this month, work my way up and email them to ask for my current raked hands count. They tell me I played 436 raked hands and eneded to play 64 more, so I played like 70 more, still no bonus so I email them again. They tell me I played 495 and need 5 more. So I play like 20 more hands where at least 1$ is taken away from the pot and still no bonus. So I email them AGAIN, and they answer me by saying that I have ZERO raked hands and that they're sorry for the confusion. What the ?!?!? I had a real bad week and lost about 650$, I thought I'd get at least the bonus like I used to, but NO. If I had known, I wouldn't have played there, and maybe not lose as much money! I asked them if it was a joke (they never joke), and nope... zero raked hands... so I paid a lot of rake that went into higher stakes players rewards without getting any of it. So I'm not going to play there anymore... there are no incentive at all for lower stakes. I don't know what they were thinking. People will just go on other Crypto Skins where they can actually get the bonuses they want or play other skins. Most stupid move ever from Interpoker... I'm not going to play there ever again.

[/ QUOTE ] That section is titled 'Change in raked hand definition' whereupon they then give you the new definition (as you quote' in bold text. That you choose to assume that the previous definition still applies in addition to the new definition that Interpoker are telling you they have 'changed' to is down to you, I'm afraid. I'm not sure how much clearer they can make it.

Still it seems like discrimination to. Fixed limit 1/2 is about the same level as NL50 or maybe even lower. [/ QUOTE ] Avg rake/hand @ 1/2 fl >>>> Avg rake/hand @ 0.25/0.50 NL
