I like the suggestions to change wording of adverts from 'rakeback' to 'we pay you to play poker'. Getting rid of 'rakeback' has been suggested before. It's such a dead word compared to alternatives like 'bonus' or 'pay'.

How about 'Biggest Bonus in Poker!' With the last weekly high earn: 'WPEX_grl' earned $4,500 in Bonus last week!'

[/ QUOTE ]

This is definitely the way to get the fish to play.

Fish don't understand rake and rakeback, but they do understand bonus, and being paid to play. Just tell them that they more they play the more they get paid, every Monday, automatically, no deposit bonus, no promotion codes, just play poker and get money back.

I dont know if this has ever been mentioned, but I don't see why WPEX doesn't have a big sunday tourny like most other sites do. I know they used to have that $25 buy in, but they dont have that any more. A $50 or $100 on sunday would be so nice. They could also run satilites into it. WPEX could easily get 100-200 people to sign up for this tourny if there was satilites to it. Just a thought.

My guess: he's personally responsible for the whole 'rakeback' focussed promotion, and so is unable/unwilling to acknowledge it's failure.

I hate to say it, but as much as I like the 'Aces Never Lose' promo, it is also a loser. That exact same money awarded as deposit bonuses would draw people to deposit on the site like a thousand times better than the Aces promo.

The goal is to get people to deposit money and play on the site. Reward that behavior: deposit bonuses. Tried and true, they've been part of every major poker room's marketing campaign.

You also want your regular customers and pros to play more every month. Reward that behavior: a VIP program that increases your rewards when you play more.

WPEX has tried some innovative marketing. For whatever reasons it has failed. How about going to the tried and true, combined with relatively high automatic rakeback, er, bonus.

I would give WPEX a real chance if thy had better promotions: a reload bonus bottomless or something for their FPPs or whatever they call them like a store.

yeah, Can't believe you would actually complain that their promotions aren't good enough.
75% or 100% RB plus aces never lose is definitely better than any other promotions. It's just the game-selection and availability that sucks. Definitely not the promotions.
