Heard HRwager has better software.

lol true.

 

i can handle losing with the best of them; taking 100000000 bad beats in my life. i can't handle shoddy software screwing me over. drives me nuts. can't even log into bookmaker to bitch about it. been 30 minutes too, which can mean i'll be paid out the same as some dope with 1/100th my stack in a big tournament. i don't grind for 5+ hours to put myself in this position so that funds can be split evenly. worst part is last time they claimed it was paused, and i get back and it wasn't paused.

Just read this:

 

  1. We are currently experiencing a DDOS attack, all running tournaments have been paused. Will keep you updated

  2.  

    We're currently experiencing technical issues. All tournaments have been paused and techs are working on it. Thanks for your patience.

  3.  

    The issues we are experiencing is a DDOS attack. All running tourneys that were paused have been canceled and refunded.

 

 

lol, what a disaster. they are hosting one of their biggest series of the year, and can't stay online.

 

and why does a DDOS of WPN, effect the actual bookmaker website.

Timely  it would appear its a license to print money

put the truth is it actually hurts the bottom line.

 

factor in fraud,charge backs and the payroll on the poker end.

 

Then the biggest  issue is..........sports bettors who make a nice score

transfer  to poker  and bookmaker is making pennies on the dollar in poker

 

and if a guy wins in sports and blows it all in poker............it has become a issue.

 

bookmakers bread and butter is sports, horses and the casino

 

That all stays in house...............and yes technically poker is in the same house

its just a poorer neighborhood.

 

% of players that transfer sports to poker is 95%

% of players that transfer poker to sports is 5%

 

its not worth there time and manpower

best guess it will be done by or before jan1

Yeah being under someone else's umbrella for poker probably hurts the bottom line a good bit, otherwise it wouldn't matter where they lost it. Why are charge backs a bigger issue via poker than sports? They don't have a very big poker support team lol, so that can't be too much.

 

As I said though no clue what they have to pay WPN which probably kills much of their return.

wvu..........they only kept it so the guy who occasionally plays poker doesn't have to leave the site.

          they could care less

 

and p.r. i'm sure as a poker player  you want to go on a true poker site

 not a site that is used as a convenience.

 

kinda like a casino in vegas that makes a ton of money...........but has a small rinky dink sports book

   like a  kiosk or fewer options.  the casino keeps it there  so they dont leave the tables or slots

 

but in reality  its just a headache.

problem is WPN is all that is available to US players.

 

i would have guessed their poker volume was higher than you act but you certainly know more than i.

 

they have almost hidden poker on their main website, so i guess that makes sense. i'd rather not have to go to america's cardroom to play, as it's convenient for me to transfer balances back and forth and i must be in the rare 5% because i transfer from poker to sports not the other way around. i'm also more willing to lose money in their sportsbook with poker profits than i am in general betting sports.

spot on man, thing is... any serious poker player will avoid WPN at any cost... Pokerstars, 888poker, partypoker, titanpoker and b465/wh offer a reliable software, decent cs and fast payouts...

 

americas cardroom takes forever to cash out, even btc, I think is 4-5 biz days (correct me if im wrong), software is shit, CS is shit, the whole experience sucks

 

all the serious American online poker players moved to Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Panama just to name a few... they win enough money to live like kings in these countries...

 

whoever plays at acr is not a full time player, and like timely, has a real job that provides 98% of his income

given that bookmaker is a part of WPN, this isn't true. i request my payouts from bookmaker and get them same day. as for software - it's shit. CS - it's shit. 

 

i made more money playing cards than i do at my day job which isn't a shot at my day job. some people have family and a life in the states and would rather not pick up and move. i know plenty who stayed, but also know plenty who moved. 

 

as for your last point, I agree. I doubt there are many full timers at WPN. I played the bigger events but don't really play the regular daily nonsense as it's not worth the grind for the shit guarantees.
