My last courier check took about 10 days and my regular was about 4 weeks. This was bad enough, I hope it is not getting worse. BTW, where is the GM?

[ntnBO]

I requested a check by courier on July 2nd. No check and no email confirmation even though I sent an email to accounts that went unanswered. I'm confident the check will get here, would just have liked to have had some sort of email confirmation.

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.

Your room was already dieing with 100% rakeback.. now with 75% rakeback no one has any reason whatsoever to play there

if they actually do market their poker room I think this will bring a lot more business ie. fish to play there, I havent seen any ads yet though

[Ray Of Light]

Wait a minute... isn't 75% contributed rakeback the equivalent of around 37% dealt rakeback full ring (roughly 50% dealt rakeback shorthanded)?

If so, even though it is admittedly still a good deal, there are (much) softer poker rooms out there that offer roughly the same rakeback % as WSEX...

Do I need to get my $75 in rake by Saturday night or Sunday night to be eligible for the 5k added tournaments next week. They say by the end of the week so Id think that would mean sat night but they dont pay rake till Monday so that would be by Sun night. Just curious if anyone knew.

Rakeback runs Monday-Sunday

[Banzai]

I know it's a bad time of day for US players but I just logged in and there are 312 players on-line, I counted 26 players on the Hold'em cash tables and nobody at the Omaha or Stud tables at all.

This must be an all time low for any poker room.

Hey Guys Fed Ex Checks are now taking about 2 to 3 weeks. I requested one on June 18th and got mine July 10th. So they will come. I honestly think its out of their hands and has everything to do with their processors. In the past they have been able to give me a trackin number and this time i would call and they would tell me they didnt yet have a tracking number, and then it just came. SO july 2nd checks i ould expect to get either late this week or next week
