Thread to end all threads.
Ok, I have found myself in the unenviable position of most likely having to move sites since getting real comfortable at iPoker (NoIQ to be exact) almost 6 months ago. It had everything I needed.
Datamining
HEM support
Rakeback (or equivalent to about 30-35%)
other bonus's and some minor points for cash but nothing to write home about.
They are now moving networks as stated on their site and in this thread on 2+2 hereI have removed all of my BR except about $1200 to play some $100NL until I decide to switch, and play out my months race. (in 10th for $1K with 4 days to go)I have been averaging with all incentives about 55%RB when all is added up including points bonus, races and playerloyalty (RB). It was easy to deposit and withdrawal with moneybookers for me in Canada, and had a decent amount of tables during my daytime and euro evenings.
So here's what I want to do. I want to make a "where should I play?" thread for the sticky. Tell us why we should play where you play, or where you would go if you could and why. It doesn't need to be just for me at $100NL and $200NL plus RB, but why should micro players come, what's the benefits?
Do not spam this thread, I will remove anything off topic or considered spam for affiliate links, or RB deals from outsiders. Regular members have the gloves off if you stay on topic.
Here is what I know.
Full Tilt: has datamining and huge table selection, 27% RB and a good bonus for Noobs that clears slowly at the micros but I have already burned that bridge so no bonus for me.
Stars:: has great software and support, but beginners or new players to the site lose out on rewards until they accumulate a ton of points. Tons of table selection but no datamining
Ongame: Shit software, no datamining decent bonus and RB schemes. (loyalty programs)
iPoker: A ton of skins, lots of options to choose from for RB and bonus's, datamining and decent table selection
Cryptologic:Sites are dying. Tons of RB whores because of the system they have paying dealt hands and not contributed rake. Still easy to beat but it's like pulling teeth. They used to have some of the best RB and bonus's including monthly no reloads on some of the skins. No Datamining as far as I know.
Party:Used to be king. Great RB and bonuses are no more. Tons of tables and datamining but very little incentive to play. They have some point programs and bonus structures but I haven't heard anyone getting anything extraordinary. Tons of tables and fish that may make up for no RB??
others I haven't played in a bit
Everest
Boss:
Cereus: UB and AP (non starters)
Prima:
Merge:
and what about the new Entraction Network? Rumours are that NoIQ may go there so would it be ok to stay?
Ok so that's where we start. I will edit this thread as I see fit to give the general info and maybe even make it more info based in the future. Tell us about the Network you are playing and particularily about the skin you are on, since all sites have different offers and bonus's. include things like:
Datamining
Bonus
Rakeback
Traffic (times)
support and cashier benifits or troubles.
Also this is not just a benefits thread, tell us your dislikes and feel free to refute what others say.
