BETonBET Question?

[arod4276]

The 40 percent is very interesting i must say. I signed up and multitabled over 1000 hands today and they said my total rake was 33usd? wtf.. i was playing two 2-4 tables and 2 3-6 tables. I tried to speak with customer service and that got me no where, as to understanding how in the hell they calculate rake? So does anyone have any experience playing on bettobet, the pokerroom skin.. Any insight would be greatly appreciated? arod4276

I think the problem is, that you need to play quite a bit to get to the 40% rakeback level. You need an MGR of 7000$ for a month and then you're earning rakeback at 40%.

With a MGR of 200$-499$ only getting 10%. This is probably why you have earned so little.

Let us know how you like the site.

My question is how in the hell do they figure MGR? I have a feeling it isnt like any other iste around? arod4276

MGR?

[PennDisc]

MGR is rake paid.

Most sites also subtract bonuses from this number although it doesn't seem that betonbet did for my initial deposit bonus.

On another note, it is great that betonbet rakeback comes automatically into your account on the first day of every month.

They've changed the structure this month. Getting over $200 gets you 20% rakeback. Over $400 gets you 25%. Over $1000 gets you 30% rakeback.

I have heard they only count rake from pots in which you have contributed money. For instance if you fold 72o UTG and the pot gets raked $3, none of that $3 counts towards your MGR(If I am wrong someone please correct me).

Sites can attract all the high volume grinders they want if they just put together the right incentives. Compared to betonbet, rake back deals using party skins still seem like the better deal.

I have been playing at Gridgames because VFP + $5000 bonus is proving to be quite lucrative. That may change somewhat next week though.

This is a very small sample, but at 5/10 5max, I have more slighly more MGR by their contributions than PokerTracker calculated that I contributed. I'll update this after this month since I'm going to try to get to the $4000 MGR this month to get to the 35% level(assuming I don't get creamed at 5/10).

5-max is a different animal - as you have to mess around in a lot more pots to be a winning player. As such, you end up contributing more money/rake into pots, and you win more pots proportionally than you would at 10-max. So your rake numbers may be helped by the betonbet way of calculating rake if you play shorthanded well.
