Any views?

hi

I would see it as an improvement from Betfairs POV - their standalone software wasnt the best ... so they have the downside of only their own players (not in a network) & not particularly nice software

from memory they were on Crypto network wayback - then one their own and then they improved their software a bit (but still nothing other than average)

iPoker network has been taking in alot of other sites onto their network recently and has now grown to be bigger than Party Poker which make it a good move for both Betfair and ipoker afaiks

I think it's a good move. I was no fan of the Betfair software - iPoker is definitely a step up.

I don't like that some network have so many pokerrooms. I can't play in 2 rooms during the same time.

HI Not sure what you meen by "good softwere". I think the clarity and simplicity of betfair is far superior to the others mentioned. And the robust nature of it. I've a funny feeling you are talking about the random card generator. If thats the case I think too many people blame the software when it is true ramdomness.

hi

I dont thing Betfair poker is moving to iPoker ... I'm fairly sure this is a case of other sites not reading press releases correctly ...

afaiks what has been announced is that Befair will be using ipoker or more accurately Playtech's casino software for their casino games ... this isnt the same as the poker client which will afaiks remain Betfairs own software and poker player base

hope thats a help

Some poker sites are joining with ipoker
because of their quality

I'm proud to be the member of ipoker.

maybe if they gave rakeback to there punters they would be up there challenging the big boys stars tilt ub etc! i hate to play anywhere where i don't get rakeback unless it is a forum download and i used their link? I know some places are trying to help their punters on i poker i.e g casino thru awop vip are lettin ya build up points for live buy ins at g casinos in the u.k ! only way they can get round the i poker curse I also know one owner of a poker site (ash @ poker utd) who left i poker coz he got fined for players withdrawing funds here in the uk ? has anyone else heard of this b4 ?

cheers
