My latest email exchange confirms a lot of things regarding Everest. And not very positive.
1. At Everest poker, tournament players have an advantage over cash game players, since they can use Summit Points for tournament entries and cash game players can only use them as play money. Thus, tournament players have an overlay from money saved in entries that cash game players dont. Thus Everest poker is discriminating players based on their preference of tournament vs cash game.
2. At Everest poker, scandinavian players have an advantage over other nationalities, since they have an ongoing VIP program that we dont have yet. And there is no set timeframe for other nationalities to be included in it. Thus Everest poker is discriminating players based on their nationality.
3. At Everest poker, there will never be rakeback, and the only benefit non-scandinavian cash game players get right now is monthly bonuses sent by email.
4. At Everest poker, there are no efforts being made to keep Limit holdem tables going/open at any level. Thus, we can assume there will not be an increase in Limit Holdem traffic in the near future.

I'm waiting for a last response on those issues (no real hope there) and will be definitely moving away from their site forever
This is the kind of response i get from them:

About Summit Points, while they are indeed most popular in tournament play, you can also use them to play in "Points-for-Points" ring game tables.

At these tables you can bet with your Summit Points, and try to win other players' Summit Points.
DO THEY THINK I'M RETARDED?

Hello,
I know i can play with summit points in "point tables". Could you please explain what use it would be to me if i dont play tournaments? What could i ever do with the summit points won at these tables? How would they differ from play money to me?
