Maestro Poker expelled from iPoker network

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ONLINE POKER SITE EXPELLED FROM iPOKER NETWORK

Rakeback violations cited for exclusion move

When online poker provider Playtech recently warned its iPoker network sites against rakeback deals (see previous InfoPowa report) it meant business, it appears. This week the network announced the removal of Maestro Poker "....due to rakeback violations, which are against the iPoker network policy."

Tain and iPoker, which now claim to be the largest European based poker network, said that the Maestro Poker skin was offering rakeback deals to affiliates and players in violation of the iPoker Network policy, and as a result a decision was made to remove the site from the iPoker Network.

"iPoker is making major efforts to fight rakeback on all its forms," said a company spokesman. "The actions iPoker has recently taken in order to stop rakeback include multiple fines against violating card rooms as well as this recent termination of Maestro Poker. As a result of the many rakeback cases found in recent months, iPoker now has "zero tolerance" towards rakeback and rooms violating the network policy may face significant fines as well as termination from the iPoker Network."

The iPoker Network includes some of the most popular card rooms in Europe, such as Titan Poker, Bet365, Expekt, Paddy Power and others. According to www.pokersitescout.com iPoker currently averages over 4 300 real cash table players with daily peaks of well over 8 000 concurrent real cash table players, and is growing faster than any of the other leading card rooms.

Ora, d'accordo che la policy di un gaming network la decide il network stesso, ma cio' che mi lascia perplesso sono frasi come :


"iPoker is making major efforts to fight rakeback on all its forms,"

come anche il passaggio sulla

"zero tolerance" towards rakeback and rooms violating the network policy

Insomma guerra aperta contro il rakeback da parte del network iPoker... Ma, e mi ripeto, non capisco tanto accanimento, condito da frasi che sembrano prese da discussioni sulla guerra al terrorismo.

Che ne pensate ?

Per un certo periodo, le pokerroom si sono fatte guerra a colpi di rakeback. A volte, anche room diverse dello stesso network.
Questo ha portato ad una drastica riduzione dei margini.
Per controbattere, alcuni network hanno proibito il rakeback, ad esempio Ongame.
Secondo me e' una questione di lana caprina: alcuni siti hanno implementato i bonus continui, che sono la stessa cosa.

In effetti la piattaforma Ipoker offre un reload bonus che, in caso si multitabli a medium stakes, porta tanti bei $$$ in cascina... arriva il momento del reload bonus cashi out un 3000$ e li rimetti dentro a 1000 per volta e ottieni bonus fino (e forse oltre) a 1K... bonus che poi guadagni un po' per volta giocando, ma, come ho detto, se multitabli a livelli decenti non ci sono problemi a ritirarli tutti...
