Any reason not to use Eurobet?

[free=good]

Any reason I shouldn't use Eurobet instead of Empire? I know they are both party skins, but just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. FWIW, I play 2/4 and 3/6 full games almost exclusively, with maybe one MTT a month mixed in just for kicks.

Also, any concerns with Poker Tracker and playerview going to a new site? I know I can import/export notes, but will I have any problems with recognizing player's and their stats on the new party skin? I'm sure these are pretty simple questions, but this is my first new skin added.

Thanks

You should have no probs that I'm aware of. I play at both.
Pokertracker, playerview work fine.

Eurobet's cashier is a little more annoying. Takes you to a webpage. Money must go to casino, then poker room.
Then when withdrawing- from poker room to casino to neteller.

Really no big deal after you've done it once.

No real reason to switch or not to switch. If you have a non rakeback account on Empire then by all means switch to Eurobet.

If you aren't in it for rakeback, just stick with Empire... Eurobet's pop up ads, browser hijacks and other stuff is annoying.

For 2/4 and 3/6, there's absolutely no difference. I think that the MTT's are different though. That might matter. Someone familiar with MTT's on party skins should confirm.

There is nothing wrong with it other than the aforementioned browser hijacks and pain the ass cashier functions. It really isn't a big deal though. One thing though is if you ask you to have your hh's e-mailed to you they go to a server on their site not to your e-mail box. You may be able to get them sent to your box if you ask customer support. I do have a question while we are talking about eurobet. I am in the US, can I do sports or any other betting outside of poker with them?

Yeah, I'm swithing for rakeback. I'm currently on party and my offer for euro is a couple of percentage points higher than for empire (I'm intentionally not giving amounts because I do not want other offers or to tick off the 2+2 gods). If empire is much easier/friendlier to use, I could go with that since its only a 2% difference, but if its no defferent I'll take the free 2%.

[SoftcoreRevolt]

Figured as much, yeah, for 2% more go for Eurobet. It's a little annoying, but hey if you don't like it at least you got a 50 dollar bonus to find out?

It really isn't too bad, just a few things that make you go "I wish they'd change that" not "I HATE THIS SITE AND NEVER WANT TO PLAY HERE AGAIN"

Unless it's for financial incentive, I'd avoid Eurobet like the clap. The tables look pretty much the same, and the players are of course the same. But they don't run on all the same systems. They add a lot of unnecessary hassle that gets compounded with repeated use.

That said, why not sign up and play a few thousand hands. You can always go back to Empire if their idiot features aren't worth your incentive to switch.

I disagree. Be prepared to say much worse things on a regular basis.

As has been mentioned before, this isn't a Eurobet thing, it's a IE setting thing. Under Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and "Reuse Windows for Launching Shortcuts" unclick that, and BOOM- no browser hijacks.
