Been playing the $5 minimum tables, ignoring 21+3 and Perfect Pairs. Curious if anyone tracks side-bet ROI long-term. House edge on 21+3 is brutal on paper but the variance keeps people coming back.
Just noticed BetOnline quietly bumped their poker rake cap from 5% to 6% across all cash game tables. Been playing $1/$2 NL there for months and the rake was capped at $3 per hand (5% of $60 pot). Now seeing $3.60 taken from $60+ pots. No email notification, no announcement in their poker client. Found out when I was reviewing my session stats and the numbers didn't add up. Called support and they confirmed the change went live November 15th. Anyone else catch this? That extra 1% really adds up over volume. Considering moving my action elsewhere if other sites have better structures.
Logged into Ignition Casino yesterday and all the Texas Hold'em cash game tables are gone. No announcement, no email, nothing. The tournament section still has Hold'em events but zero cash games available. I've been playing $1/$2 and $2/$5 tables there for 8 months. Customer support just said "management decision" when I asked. Anyone else notice this? Really frustrating to lose your regular games without warning.
Just got an email from Slots.lv that their poker room is permanently closed as of January 15th. They're directing poker players to their sister site Ignition Casino for poker games. I've been playing their $1/$2 NLHE tables for about 18 months. Traffic was decent during peak hours - usually 3-4 tables running. The software wasn't amazing but withdrawals were always smooth. **Anyone else get this notification?** Wondering if this signals broader changes coming to the Lynton Limited properties or if it's just poker-specific consolidation.
Logged into Ignition Casino yesterday and all the live dealer baccarat tables are gone. No email notification, no warning on the site - they just vanished. I've been playing their Evolution Gaming baccarat tables for 8 months, usually the $25 minimum tables. Checked with support and they confirmed the tables were "temporarily removed for maintenance" but couldn't give me a timeline for when they'll be back. This is frustrating because baccarat was literally the only live dealer game I played there. Has anyone else noticed this or gotten better info from support?
