Time of day, time of day, time of day.

Play in the morning or early afternoon EST, and the games are great. Play after 7PM EST, and the games suck.

The good money comes from crazy drunken european gamblers, and their all passed out or broke by American prime time.

Go to bed a little early, get up a little early, and squeeze an hour or two in before work. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i tried interpoker for the first time this month not realizing they did not have the bonus for people who already claimed a $90 bonus at intercasino the same month. Since it will take about 10 hours of raked play to get the bonus playing poker vs. just 2-3 hours playing $2 blackjack using basic strategy ($2250 coin-in only $11.25 theoretical loss in EV), I'm gonna stick to casino play on that site and play poker at many of the better spots instead.

my main problem playing at IP is that it's S-L-O-W. people there (and at pacific poker too) don't seem to know how to use any of the autoplay, autopost and/or automuch keys. they prefer to spend 10 second mulling over every little decision, every single time. as a result, you'll find that the average hands per hour at interpoker is at least 10-20% less than the other major poker sites. and as previously discussed in this thread, it's a pain in the ass to figure out how many raked hands you have played so far. my solution was to import the data into pokertracker, but crunching the numbers takes a few minutes each time and that is a tedious way to do it in the long run.

there is a similar thread going on over at cardplayer right now:

Rakeback is definitely nice. The KK promo at IP was cute. However, the overlay of UK and Totalbet promos blows, and you know it. People lose far more in the currency conversion withdrawing to USD Neteller accounts than they could ever hope to make on those promos.

The Trip Aces promo they run is a joke...I got it 5 times in 3 hrs multitabling on UK. 100 pound bonus and have to pay $5 max in conversion fees? Looks like $195 to me...That is not a crap overlay "and I know it"

COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WILLIE HILL DOES THAT EVEN RESEMBLES A PROMOTION LIKE THE OTHERS? That is the point of the remark.

Yes I live in the US and setup a pounds acct, because I wanted a 25 pound bonus and not a $25 bonus. That is only refuteable point on your behalf.

You picked apart my entire post and critiqued why Will Hill is at BEST on par with the other Cryptos. In NO possible way is it the best Crypto to play on, that was my point.

There are no problems using NT and pounds or dollars on any other Crypto. This one poses problems. The bonus is at BEST tied for the worst of all the Cryptos if you want to group it with Total and UK. Total and UK at least have promos (even if they are minute in your opinion, its still better than ZERO).

The OP said Will Hill was his choice of Crypto sites. I provided 5 valid reasons why it is not the BEST. That was my point.


Will Hill is nowhere near as bad as I make it out to be, but it is still easily the worst of the bunch for the reasons I stated. Yeah you can chop them down and prove they arent really as bad as I say, but the fact is they are subpar in every dept compared to the rest.

I don't believe that William Hill is the best. I prefer it myself for the reasons I mentioned before (better cashier interface, no PIN number, no currency conversion charge, etc).

There are definitely areas where William Hill is not as good as other cryptos (some of which are more extreme in your specific situation), but I see most of those issues as somewhat negible.

Hitting the UK and TB promo several times in one session is nice, but the odds of it are slim. Overall, it contributes very little EV to your play there. Hence, IMHO, those promos are only a little better than nothing in the long run, so William Hill's nothing is not that bad compared to UK and TB.

The point of my responses were that William Hill is not nearly has horrible as you have made out. If someone has a USD Neteller account and receives 25 pounds instead of $25 (like most people do), then there is not reason not to play there along with the other Cryptos, IMHO.

I don't understand why you want to deposit in pounds? If you use neteller that will just cost you money.

I think the problem you have is that you set up your account using the dollars version of the software.

Just set up a new William Hill account. Download the pounds version. When you are setting up your account make dollars your default currency. Then you should get a 25 pound bonus and it will be paid in dollars.

This is the way I did it. If it doesn't work for you, my apologies.

People who signed up early on for WillHill with account balances in dollars are still getting their montly bonus as 5x$5. I was warned about this when I signed up by a friend, but by then (april this year) they had fixed this so I've gotten 5x£5 every month.

Also a note others:
You want to play limit during European prime time.
You want to play pot- or no-limit during American prime time.

Or you always always want to play shorthanded tables. Those are disgustingly juicy 24/7.

I have now done the monthly bonus for 4 months running and have never encountered any problems. You only have to be dealt cards for it to be considered in your raked hand count.

Also, I counted up my raked hands in PokerTracker for November and it said that I had played 453 raked hands and sure enough my bonus was released.

No problems at this site to report from my experience thus far.

Fair enough I took an extreme colorful root trying to portray why they arent grand. The place is still better than Absoulte etc come bonus time, just not as good compared to Inter, Plex etc...

Some of the UK + Total Bonuses are good, some arent. The trip 3's and 4's are hard cause you are relying on getting pocket 3's or 4's in addition to hitting the flop.

Trip aces is a lot higher +EV, with AQ you are in, as opposed to 3Q. If you hit top pair with aces you are in as opposed to folding your A4 when the flop is 4QK when hunting the trip 4 promo. I would venture to bet the Trip Aces or Trip Kings promo EV would be close to $15-$20/hr if multitabling.

If its even $.75/hr for pocket 3's or whatever its still better then the Will Hill which is zero.

Some are just straight forward like pocket queens, or pocket black jacks etc.

As for NT and Will Hill. I signed up for Will Hill in pounds but Neteller wont let me deposit in Will Hill. I signed up for pounds to get 25 pounds ~$45 bonus instead of the $25 bonus in USD. Obviously the conversion fees or whatever lower it, but it is still greater than $25. Figure $40 which beats $25. This isnt an option because if you sign up for a pounds Will Hill acct, you cant use Neteller to deposit. I could use NT if I depoisted in $, but I am only gonna get a $25 bonus. That is a reason of my dissatisfaction of Will Hill.

BOOT,

Listen to me. I had the same problem as you. I contacted support and told them I wanted to deposit using Neteller but couldn't because I singed up with pounds as my currency. They said they could close my account and I could open up a new one using dollars.

I was actually able to open a new account without even closing my old one. I downloaded the software from the pounds site and chose dollars as my currency when registering. Now I can use neteller and get the 25 pound bonus every month.

I have cleared all bonuses available to US players the last 3 months. I believe there is correlation in the slow players and what site from which they are earning a bonus. If I am earning a time related bonus I take the more time to make a decision than if I am playing for a raked hand bonus. I believe there are many others that do the same and it contributes significantly to the slow play on crypto sites.
I was also wondering if anyone had used the cryptocounter at this address with any success http://www.introtopoker.com/cryptocounter.php] it is suppose to count raked hands at any of the crypto sites
