What are the improvements? Last time i played was last year and it was a nightmare of software problems.

Aside from some questionable security practices and a sub-par slider for bet size, there are no more serious problems I'm aware of. Solid and fast, as a rule, just don't log into the insecure main wsex site and plan to type in bet sizes.

I thought they have been 100% rake back for a long time now. I obv missed something big.

Their normal practice is now 75%. They got tired of losing money, plus needed a marketing campaign.

I am still somewhat puzzled as to why you don't make it a 100% RAKE FREE site instead of a 100% rakeback site which is really a rake redistribution site.

That and figure out how to get funds on and off the site in a timely and cost effective manner.

Still waiting for a real incentive to go through the hassle of signing up and getting funds onto the site.

I think 100% RAKE FREE would do it.

I think they want people excited about the amount of rake-back they receive back into their accounts each week.

Originally when this was discussed I thought it was mentioned that there is some skin on whatever network they are on which takes the rake. So for whatever few players that skin had on the tables it was necessary to keep the full rake structure. I have no idea if that was correct or not though nor do I know if it still applies.

Seems consistent with the writing of their other e-mails and promos. Not particularly well-written obviously...

[/ QUOTE ]

Why the gratuitous criticism of straightforward, direct, simple language?

Its a tremendous promo.

They are giving away money and still players complain.

Fred,

I hope I'm just a small part of a great, silent majority who is grateful and thankful for WPX.

I'll be mixing in some sports bets this week to show my appreciation.

I get checks sent by regular mail. The last one took 8 days, once of which was the Columbus Day holiday, so really it took just 5 business days.
