WSEX: Official Thread: August & September. (#12 of 13.)

[707782]

OK, here's my opinion on WSEX:

I love the WSEX software, it's fast, and I don't see any problem with it, in fact, I like it more than any other software out there.

But I sure love to have more people come in to play, I would say 9 out of the 10 players, it's good player, so it's tough environment to play at.

Improve cashout time.

[TwoCathedrals]

yeah as I and others have said, just get more traffic and improve cash-out time. Now granted those are two pretty major problems at the moment, but everything else about WPEX is amazing. Software is stable and 75% rakeback is still awesome.

Fred,

You need a more "user friendly" deposit method for US players. Why no ePassport?

I posted a while back about how simple and easy (and free) it is for Americans to get money on WPEX. I realize you internet freaks don't get out much, so you don't like any options that involve going outside, but please, stop saying its hard to depsit on WSEX:

::REPOST::

All American users should know, the WSEX Money Transfer option is very, very simple and easy, Here is how it works:

1. Call the 800 number provided by WSEX under the link for the Wsex Money Transfer on WSEX the website, ask for the information you need to put on the MoneyGram transfer form.

2. Go get some cash, hopefully $300+ so your transfer will be completely free of charge (wsex will credit your account the transfer fee).

3. Find a "MoneyGram" location nearest to you (look for a 'checks cashed' place, or go to the 'Moneygram' website and input your zip code), fill out the form at the Moneygram store, give them the cash, pay the small fee, keep your MoneyGram receipt.

4. Call WSEX back on that same 800 number as above and tell them the $ has been transferred from MoneyGram, give them the reference number off your MoneyGram receipt, and wait a few minutes for the Money to hit your WSEX account, plus extra $ to compensate you for the MoneyGram fee.

5. This does not involve your bank, get it?

6. Play poker and ... profit?

If there is something noteworthy written about WSEX it is unlikely that players will read about it in this thread.

I really see no reason for it's own thread, except for the affiliate leaches forcing it to have one in the first place.

OK, now I finally see what you are saying. I took it as you saying that WPX is basically dead so there is no need for a thread anymore. I get your point.

I for one am all for contributed rakeback. I know that it will help the players who play more hands and win more pots the most. That's what I'm hoping for. whether they know why or not they will perform better at WSEX, and put their money there. Dealt hand rakeback favors those of us who read this forum in the short run, but we have to look at where our poker income really comes from. It's not coming from each other. It's coming from the fun-loving gamblers out there. The same ones that Fred wants to attract because they will bet at his casino and sports book. Please look at it this way and encourage WSEX in making this change.

Is there any chance of a "Hide Empty Tables" button?

[Seether]

As a player with over 70k in economized rake and in the top 5 rake payers every week and several thousand placed in sports bets I will stop playing and betting on the site if it is to go to contributed rake back.

[Banzai]

MD, I understand your argument but I fear the change will drive away many more players than it attracts.

It has been said a million times, the players who give us their money don't give a [censored] about rake, rakeback, PT, PAHUD or any other stuff people on here discuss all the time.

This is so wrongheaded.

1) Bad players, the ones a cardroom needs to survive, simply don't *think* about the difference in contributed versus dealt rakeback.

2) Bad players don't know that they're bad. They think they're good! If they hear about a change that favors "bad" players, they won't think that it will benefit them, because they are GOOD PLAYERS! Get it?

[MicroBob]

To add to something's argument...some of the bad players who still know something about RB would actually be benefitted by this but will THINK it hurts them significantly.
So it can even succeed in driving some of the bad players away.
Not to mention that will also help drive away some of the more aware players who really do understand how much it impacts them.

Something's statement that this was a REALLY wrongheaded argument is correct.
