This change enables us to offer larger and more beneficial bonuses and ultimately allows for an improved distribution of bonuses to our players.
Players can receive similar benefits and rewards as they would have with the rakeback program through our evolving VIP program. Removal of rakeback applies to all existing and new players. Please note that VIP points earned by players in the rakeback program are not transferable.

Got this email this week - if your a grinder on cash tables like I used to be - these rakeback payments can float you through hard times and earn you extra cash on top of your streaks. IT's bad enough they take like 10% or more from everything we touch. Rake back was saving me 35% off that rake. ITs bad for them as I will never generate rake like I used to for them (no more cash ring games) and just a general overall shetty feeling that they can just up their earnings on a awhim - whats this - like an extra $1 million a week for them? Greedy fks; their software sux and needs constant upgrades out of cycle - patches etc - customer service sux - payouts are slow and over priced. They reduced their $200 Free rolls to $50. On top of that I couldnt log into my carbon skin from home last night - just stalled. I go on Aced and play a $3.50 super turbo and get shifted into the blinds on 3 str8 table transfers ina row - I went from 25th place out of 70 to last in literally 30 seconds after going from $5k to $1.200 short stack. I emailed their support about it - it was like a bug - I mean in a live tourney would you really move someone 3x to blinds at other tables? in a row??
Not happy. No repsonse yet from them - I double up at $5k in that tourney and I go into the top 10 and a payout. It just screwed my whole tourney up. Had 102 as one of my final 3 hands with all-ins in front of me. Toally screwed - had to go all in on last hand with like j4 off.
