GamesGrid.com- Is it worth your time?
 

I was wondering if the 1000% Deposit bonus and VeryFrequentPlayer program (at least 1.5 BB/hour if played at least 10 hrs) is worth doing despite the small game selection.
GamesGrid was originally a backgammon site or so I am told, so the players might be tougher than average.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you have a real hankering to play dealer's choice, GG is quite the waste of time. You can earn more in rakeback playing 4 tables than you can earn in their big bonus. I also think that their VFP program isn't 1.5 BB, it's 1.5 small bets. Double is you are playing whatever table they are pushing this month. Either way, it's prety much a waste. I played dealer's choice for a few months, then decided I actually would like to make money, so I stopped.

My only input is that GG staff must be [censored] sick of signing up fake accounts and posting stupid threads like this.

Watching grass grow has more EV than playing in those tight-arse games...

It was worth it under the old rules. Under the new rules (1.5 SB or as they liked to call it 3 small blinds) it is not.

To summarize:

EV[smoking grass] > EV[return on a wager that JJDylan will reply to a GG post] > EV[watching grass grow] > EV[playing on Games Grid for the $5k bonus]

Hopefully you will find this of some value when making your decision.

Thanks guys for your help.
I guess I should have used the search function to help myself.
To clarify neorab's point, how much EV would you expect from rakeback only(say 25% if that is possible) 4 tabling 3/6 or 5/10 for 2.5 hours- 10 total virtual hours.
I couldn't find this easily using the search function. Sorry!
Thanks again.

The Bonus was moving pretty quickly by playing the 5-10 and 3-6. Games are tight though, Same players all the time. Overall though, I like it enough to give it time to grow.

Re: GamesGrid.com- Is it worth your time?
 

I just started playing GamesGrid about 2 weeks ago.

Playing multiple tables, every so often one of the tables acts like I disconnected. I will click the 'Check' button, and the buttons will disappear. If I'm lucky, all the buttons come back in a few seconds and I can re-click the one I wanted. Sometimes it does not reconnect and my hand is folded.

It appears this happens to others too, as I see others get disconnected.

Has anyone else had the same experience there?

I like the site but, like today, I don't like sitting there with the nut flush and no buttons to press-hoping it comes back in time and my hand isn't folded.

I do like the information they have readily available, such as the exact hours you have played at each level.
