Rakeback on Pacific Poker - July 24, 2009
At last we might have found a way for so many of you to get rakeback on the Pacific
Poker Network!
Littlewoods Poker has announced in the press that it is to leave the Cryptologic
Network to join the Pacific Poker Network. This is likely to happen before the end
of the year.
We believe that all existing rakeback players will be allowed to keep their existing
rakeback deal with Littlewoods when the new site is launched (as is normally the
case in these situations).
We would therefore recommend that if you want the chance of being able to get
rakeback on the Pacific Network, then you should sign up with Littlewoods Poker as
soon as possible.
Please remember that this is only our best guess of what will happen. We know that
so many of you have been unsuccessful in joining the Pacific Poker loyalty scheme,
and as a result do not play there.Now could be your time to chance to start playing
there again! We are sure they would love to have you back.
Pacific Poker already have a number of their own players on their own 25% VIP
Loyalty scheme which they ran with a few affiliates including AceRake. They are a
superb network and offer a fantastic range of games to suit all players. The
addition of Littlewoods will be a tremendous boost for the network and a welcome
opportunity for new players to both Littlewoods and Pacific.
AceRake
The above is based on our best estimation of what might happen going forward and
cannot be guaranteed. We try to give you the player the best opportunity to take
advantage of situations and so the email is sent in good faith.
Starting April 3, 2008
SunPoker.com has now made it easier
for players from the UK and all of Europe to play at their online
poker tables. This is big news, so please let your players know.
This will significantly increase signups.
The long awaited British Pound (£) cashier is now
available to SunPoker.com players, aptly named
SunPoker.com (GBP). Customers are now able to play their
favorite poker games like Texas Hold'em and 7 Card Stud
using the new £ cashier, without having to worry about
exchange rates.
Players are still able to receive the same great bonuses
and promotions when playing on the pound account, the
only difference is the player's money is saved in pounds now.
New Crypto Rakeback Rates - March 1st, 2008
From March 1st, 2008 SunPoker.com and Cryptologic are changing
the rakeback and promotions that will be offered new players and
existing players except for the Grandfathered players.
No changes will take place with regards to affiliate fees and SunPoker.com
will use the concept of grandfathering to avoid loss of existing players.
The new rules are listed below and are aimed at making SunPoker.com
the best and most popular operator on the net for all parties involved.
The concept of grandfathering means that players who raked more
than 1000 MPP's in Nov, Dec or Jan (not combined) will keep their
current rakeback and bonus levels. That's up to 38.75% gross rakeback
and up to $1000 in bonus's every month.
New Rakeback rules from March 1st, 2008
· New players and players not qualified as grandfathered accounts will
receive a maximum of 30% gross rake. (Please note all rakeback must
now be advertised in Gross and NOT Net terms)
· New players and players not qualified as grandfathered accounts will
receive a maximum of $200 in monthly bonuses. These players are also
eligible for the $500 first deposit bonus.
SunPoker.com will communicate these changes to all grandfathered
accounts via both email and direct mail.
Questions and Answers
1. What will my commission be?
Your commission will remain the same only calculated on the Gross
Rake. For instance, if you were at 6.5% commission based on Net, you
will now be at 5% of gross, which equals to the same amount of
commission.
100 x 0.775 x (your current commision as a %) = Gross Commission
2. What criteria did you use to pick grandfathered accounts that could keep
their old promotion levels?
Players that have been a loyal customer and made more than 1000 My
Poker Points (MPPs) in November, December or January. (not combined)
3. Can a grandfathered player open up a new account and keep their old
promotion levels?
No, they can only keep their old promotion levels on the accounts notified
to them. The only exception is if the player wants to change to a different
currency account, but this means they need to close their old account and
can't transfer the old My Poker Points (MPP) to the new account. The
player must also stay with the same affiliate. Players can not open up a
new account with another Cryptologic network operator and keep their
grandfathered promotion levels.
4. Can players sell their grandfathered accounts to another player?
No. Accounts are personal and will be closed down if abused.
5. Will grandfathered accounts be excluded from new promotions?
No, these players will still be entitled to new promotions. In addition to
keeping their old benefits, up to $1000 a month in bonus's and the
rakeback as listed below, they will also be able to participate in some
of the most amazing leaderboards and tournaments on the net including
our best ever World Series of Poker promotion yet.
Rakeback to grandfathered accounts:
Monthly
MPPs - MPPs - Gross Rakeback %
0 - 4999 - 30%
5000 - 7999 - 31%
8000 - 10999 - 34.8%
11000+ - 38.75%
Monthly Bonuses to grandfathered accounts:
From $60 up to $1000.
6. Does this change only affect SunPoker.com?
No it's a Cryptologic room wide change. Players will not get a higher
personal promotion level with any other operator within the Cryptologic
network
