Hello all,
I'm a new member of FTR, and a rep for Better Poker. You can read more about us on FTR's review page. I'd attach the link here, but I'm not allowed to until I have at least 10 posts under my belt!
If you have any questions about Better Poker, feel free to get in touch!
You might also find me hanging around in this forum from time to time
Cheers,
Stephen

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

We've been asking some of our poker room reps to come and join us in our forums for a while. If you see anyone that is saying they're a representative of a poker room we're affiliated with, you can assume it's legit until we say otherwise. This means we should give them some leeway when it comes to links, i.e., links related to our poker room partner that they're representing should generally be allowed.
Hello, Stephen. Good to have you here!

btw, Stephen. You'll find that the Community posts don't get counted. Posts in this Online Poker Rooms forum do get counted.

Lol, those links are the ones FTR automatically puts in, like if I type. Since you're here, I dont see any harm in telling us a bit about your site.

Just playing to improve.

Well, we are on the iPoker network, and have a license in Malta.
The brand is owned by Better Bookmakers - a growing, high street (retail) bookmaker in the UK. If you are from the UK you might have heard of them, or seen their betting shops.
We offer first deposit bonuses, a VIP programme with loyalty cashback bonuses, all the iPoker guaranteed tournaments/satellites of course, as well as our own exclusive freerolls.
Check out the FTR review page for a full review.
Cheers,
Stephen

Had to ask my colleagues what "gander" meant Live in the UK, but still learning the lingo.
Actually Better is in the Southeast for the moment, around London and the M25. We're certainly not as large as the big boys like Ladbrokes, William Hill, etc. but the shops are very different - cleaner, better service, much better (no pun intended) atmosphere generally. I can't put a link here but if you check out bettercorporate dot com, you can see where the shops are.

Hey Stephen,
so how does your cashback program work and to what rate of rakeback does it translate to?

Sorry, just to clarify, we don't offer rakeback or cashback. I meant to write "loyalty cash bonus"
You are awarded Better Points as you play, which can be redeemed for loyalty cash bonuses. I would have to ask you to visit our site for the details.

daven, you're right about ipoker. its not a rakeback scheme, and i cant discuss if it equates to an amount of rakeback.
By the way I cant PM cause i dont have enough posts under my belt yet doh!
no rake races at the moment. As we build up our player base, we'd like to offer such promotions.

For every 500 Better Points you earn, $5 will be converted into real money.
You can earn up to 10-15 points per hand, depending on the rake and your vip level. You have to be at least a Gold member to be offered loyalty cash bonuses.
