jeffers Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker Agree it's not up to it, but it's new and they have control over it - so Betfair being Betfair, they will make all the changes users want, and it will be better soon :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker I hate it. Betfair introduced me to exchange betting, online poker and forums...for that I'll always be grateful...but this poker is the worst I have ever played on, too many little faults that all add up to an utter nightmare. However it IS fixable, but this must happen asap. Looking through their poker forum is like walking through a minefield of disgruntled players. However, it is noticable that there are two Betfair employees who are responding to the complaints throughout the forum. So Betfair ARE taking note of the complaints and I wouldn't be surprised to see upgrades coming thick and fast over the next few weeks. I certainly hope so anyway...I want to earn my bonus (have tried, but can't hack it as it is) and don't want to desert the site that introduced me to this wonderful online experience.

hayward2k Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker Oh my day's. What a pile of crap! :loon Glad to see it's not just me thats wondering what the hell has happened to what once was a good poker site to play on. I play STT's quite reguarly on Betfair lately and like to play 4 tables at a time. So i wold register at all the $5 tables at the same time and wait for them to start. Now the new software has come in you can only register for one table at a time until the table has been filled up. Then a new $5 table will be created to register in. How crap is that!! :@ Why did they have to change it, in my opinion it was fine as it was. :cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebedee1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker I played a STT yeserday morning and one guy at our table said he could not check or bet, every time he hit the check button it folded his hand :eek He restarted his computer & the same thing was happening when he got back. He did stay in the tourny longer that I did though :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgej Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker Is there a way to see how many points you are making towards your bonus? I know your account will be credited every Wednesday, but it would be good to know how much you have and how much is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward2k Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker What bonus? How does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker There is $20 bonus for every month in the last 12 that you played on Betfair poker...max $240 then. Needs to be ''earned'' by earning Betfair poker points this month...don't know where to find points, so don't know how fast you earn them! Also noticed that rake seems to be removed before the bets go into the pot, yet it doesn't tell you how much rake has been taken for a hand. Details of the bonus offer can be found by going to the poker info page from the main Betfair home page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgej Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker I found out that the rake is shown when you hover your cursor over the chips in the middle. Had to ask that one. To see how much your bonus is http://www3.betfairpoker.com/microsites/update/promotion.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonjon Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker play this first time and hated it, so i thought i'd try again it might just because its new, but i've played this software a few more times and: :puke I HATE IT. I hope someone from this company will c the negative replies and change it back:nana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doob Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker Awful, terrible, unplayable, dreadful site. :( This was my main site for poker but no longer, not until they sort out the problems. Even the $240 bonus involves getting 400 Betfair points for $10. That's quite alot of rake. It also appears the software is paying out on losing hands. :eek They should take it down for a few days before it does their image any more damage.

GaF Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker This has been planned for a long time, and I believe they have had their regular players go in and play test it ....... I'm amazed they thought it was ready to launch........ It's also not new software is it, but Pokerchamps? (:unsure) Surely it hasn't been paying out losing hands for years? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker Ok...don't like it...BUT... Played for an hour and a half to give it a chance. The navigation to find games to play is a nightmare, but eventually I had the two table view up and played a low stakes fixed limit Hold 'em and an Omaha pot limit. The structure of the two tables fitted nicely on my screen with no overlapping and after just a few minutes I was actually getting used to it. Couldn't find the rake but that has been addressed above. Irritated by the cards which have the dots in all the WRONG places but I can see this site being popular when all the ''bugs'' have been fixed. Second point...I said on here the other day that Betfair employees were active throughout their poker forum, answering questions etc. Well the indication was that Betfair were ''forced'' to start off early through maybe a total fallout with crypto...no details, but clearly something was amiss. I for one wish Betfair the best of luck with this venture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedonist Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Re: The new Betfair Poker I downloaded pokerchamps about a year ago and did not like it so uninstalled it. Now I find I have it back under Betfair, I will not be playing there for any games except the ones organised by poker player magazine. I think it is one of the worst poker programmes I can find. :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
