Anyone have any feedback on this site?

I know they are a skin for PokerRoom? Is my money safe there? Any good/bad feedback would be appreciated before I make a deposit.

Thanks for the info villafan.

Have you ever played at Bet on Bet?

Looking right now there are four 5-10 and even a full 25-50 limit holdem game?
Anyone know anything about the calliber of play in this game?

Good to see that there are some alternatives to Party/skins. I don't think most people realize how quickly momentum can shift in this industry.

I recently signed up with Betonbet - they have a great automatic rakeback deal (you might want to do a search to find the deal). The rakeback % increases as you have more rake - maxing at 40%. They are a Pokerroom skin.

The software is a bit different - and the money goes through the casino site. I am trying it primarily for the rakeback.

I play mostly shorthanded - their variety is 5max. Thus far I believe the games are very loose - I have succombed to many suckouts. Overtime, I expect (hope) to win there.

You do tend to see the same players often. While the census is not great - there are always games that I am interested in.
