Final 3 Merge Poker Rooms

All 3 of these sites allow US traffic, give me your thoughts. I will setup EVERY account to earn 35% rakeback:

RPM Poker:
They are fairly big, have been advertising on 2+2 for awhile now (2 years)

P2P Transfers: Yes but you have to identify your account with them (The said a simple process)

Ease of making freerolls: They said no problem

Responsiveness of their affiliate department: Very fast



Carbon Poker:
Probably the largest site on the Merge network

P2P Transfers: I believe you can only receive them from me and net send to others

Ease of making freerolls: sounded like this was going to be a big hassle \ issue with them. They wanted to make it only those users who signed up under my affiliate banner otherwise it was going to be difficult.

Responsiveness: Affiliate manager called me almost immediately


FeltStars:
Formerly known as Reefer poker, they have been around a long time as well.

P2P Transfers: No idea, rrickir said they can (They haven't got back to me yet)

Ease of making free rolls: They have not returned my emails or various contact attempts

Responsiveness: None yet :(

Any of the three sound good to me Ive already got accounts on all three but if the freeroll issue can be resolved Carbon has my vote. Its the biggest and therefore prolly going to have more private freerolls for us to join than the other two to try to build our bankrolls. But it sounds like RPM is working towards more private freerolls. In the end it doesn't really matter to me cause I prolly won't be participating in the tournaments anyway.

i already have acct on all 3 sites.. holla

Zab .. You lead, we follow. I have no preference on which one of the 3, never played on any of them. I am sure with some input from the other members .. a great decision will be made ;-)

Im in ireland so can still play on full tilt. Also play on ipoker using the site of my local bookies. Checked out the sites and as far as i can see only one i could deposit on is rpm using the way i deposit on tilt and ipoker. That being said im not plannin on moving to a new site. Will prob set up an account to play with people here but ill follow like a sheep rather than making an input as it is really up to which site the us players prefer

Ya, I hope FTP fixes the situation soon..

If they dont, I can guarantee you the Merge Network and Bodog will blow up huge

Anyway good to hear our community survive :)

have you considered cake poker?

There was a TON of shady stuff that had been going on within the Cake Network, so I wasn't sure where to go with that, or if they had fixed that.

zabbbb first offf , they were never reefer poker OL< they were always seperate, BUT fletstars took over reffer poker and gew and got better> they have easeof P2p transfers,, u dont even have to be a depositor there. and can still receive a transfer, at carbon u cannot do that.carbon will prolly ONLY let u have poeple play who sighned up th ru urs ite,,w hich would eleiminate all of us who already have acct there, Fletstars wont do that tho. once u get in with feltstars they will work with u bettter, and the link i gave u will help a lot. he can help for sure.their regular email, is a little slow,, especially n the weekends. so dont judge by that th o.see what he tellls ya, and gettin things set up fast,,, and then decide, i know i cant play the carbon ones tho,, and i prefer feltstars,, but is totally up to u tho, and i understand,,but i hope u pick something where we ALL can continue to play,, and not JUST THOSE who havent dwnloaded sites yet OK:) gl

just trying to figure out where to go. I hate the skins used on merge and bodog

allready joined carbon on your banner so hope you go with that

If it goes by vote im voting for anythin but feltstars

u can still join feltstars too walter,, doesnt matter u can have all thos sites. now dont getme wrong zab,, i still prefer FT and pstars,, BUT untill all this is worked out,, i still really feel that feltstars is the only way to go really right now>:) one thing i dont really get,,is why is the government still aloowing some sites to function tho,, for the USA<<, and not otheres?? i,m still unsure of that thoooo ,,

sean,, are u just doin that to piss me off??LOLOL:)))). and u can still play at tilt oooo u not in usa either... keep in mind carbon and feltstars all on the SAME network, have a lotta same tounrneys,, BUT fletstars has some of theror own special tourneys,,, that i think are wayyy better thooo,, by farrr. and no prob transfering tooo.. ok:)

well i believe carbon poker is the way to go.. my girl already registered and im at a stand still cuz i want to use ur link so i can be eligible if thats the case... and it probably gives you some kind of kick back... so if you could please post that link again to carbon poker it would be much appreciated... thanx zab....

they allow the smaller sites i believe is how they word the pay outs... poker gifts and entries to live events.... thats why.... MAYBE?

Not sure dude.. My opinion is none of the above, but it's hard to be picky right now.. Only because I had a bad experience with customer support even though they are self proclaimed (top customer service in poker).. But , whatever we have to do to get these USA players back on the tables with us :D

I am hearing since poker listings bought the cake network, that might be a better solution.. Thoughts? They are much bigger

what about 888?

No US Traffic

Merge & Cake are pretty close: Online Poker Traffic Rankings & News | Poker Sites & Networks | PokerScout

That's what I thought, but I was told they do now? I seen they doubled all of their guarantees today... That must mean US traffic?

Working on a deal with Cake, working on a deal with Merge :)

Just work on a deal with the feds please. haha, if it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't be going anywhere =( i'm a loyal PO member though! I'll follow :D

well we will see what this next week brings....
