BETFAIR POKER Q&A - LET US KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND

Why do you keep changing the tournament schedule and removing the popular tournaments? You have changed the mtt schedule a hilarious number of times when the key to a successful site is a mtt schedule which builds on its existing schedule rather than balldozing it every 3 months.

how come i would rather play on ladjokes ????

and why does the UK data protection act protect "Romanian"* players on a site based in Malta?

* Insert Dutch/Finnish as appropriate

Collusion and use of language other than English in chat - what are you doing about it?
On that self same subject, in D2Ns why not disable chat at the first all-in or at the first elimination?
Why do you use software that looks as though it was designed at the time of rationing?
Why can't you get the structure of an STT right despite us having online poker for donkey's years?
Will that do for now?

What are you doing to increase traffic to the site?

I also would like to know what steps you take to detect collusion and what punishments are in force for players you have found colluding.

Additionally I would like to know if any players have ever been banned from betfair poker for collusion. Not money laundering, taking advantage of faulty software but COLLUSION.

I would like to know why every time collusion is reported, Betfair hide behind the data protection act while other sites subject to the same laws report results of investigations and refund monies.

I would also like to know whether betfair poker has ever refunded money to players as a result of collusion.

There's a lack of low/ medium stakes ($1 to $25) regular MTT's, every game seems to be a turbo/ super turbo or all in donkfest, this include satellites to all the decent higher stakes games.

Stability is not an issue now but the volume of traffic could be higher. Have you thought about purchasing one of the smaller poker sites for their userbase?

why have you ignored the dozen or so threads similar to this where respected forumites have tried helping you by making suggestions
then wait while they are all so frustrated at you pressing the self destruct button taht they have all gone elsewhere

I have been really impressed with the innovative promotions and improvements to the site that have been made since Betfair set up their stand alone site. Whilst there are still minor tweaks that could be made to make things even better I think all concerned deserve a heary pat on the back. I think what we'd all really like to know is what makes Bruce Stubbs and his team so special. What is it in his approach to work and life that sets him apart from the rest of us.
Any advice would be great.
Well done Bruce!

this is laughable :)
in fact its pathetic , you have managed to completely destroy a poker site.
how that can be done by what must be a reasonably small group of supposedly educated people is beyond me. you have the backing and brand-name of one of the most innovative gambling ideas this century.
ack i could go on but no one will listen so pointless.
just laughable nowadays.
although a shame. some really good people on here whom i would consider friends. used to be such an enjoyable experience playing here and a sense of community.

seriously , how hard could it be to destroy the site?
it must take real dedication to do that.
would be harder to totally destroy it than make it at least run at a slight profit. someone should expose you all.

now you make some sort of grannyish plea asking what we can do to make the site better :)

ha ha ha

would need to be some serious promotions or the like to get me back playing in this disgrace of a site.
and even then , i would take the free money and happily un install till next time.
thats how much you have destroyed the site.

my advice to make it better?

close it down ,
dismiss everyone associated with making the site fail in its present state.
sell the software.

and start again.


let us know whats on your mind . laughable :)

Why did you open this thread as opposed to reading what everyone has been telling you for the last 12 months?

Going well this fred.

1/100 this thread gets pulled

OP - are you familiar with the term "oxymoron"?

A: Leaderboard money to return to previous amounts to make it worth playing for. THink you said previous it was chopped due to Ceasers promo so can it return to original levels.
B: Player transfers wld be good.
C: Why do you have announced games jsut put them on there and let people join ffs.
D: More deepstack games with decent buyins and proper sats to them
E: Why did it take so long for you to finally sack Bruce and who is the new kid on the block. May I make a suggestion that you try and woo back Tarquin Crabstick who is doing wonders in his new post at Aviva, GREEN ARMY

Betfair could be a lot better and attract more cash players if it followed the lead of some of the big american sites and introduced a wider selection of games such as:



50bb min tables for those who dont want to play against a table of short stacker who either push or fold pre flop.



Deep tables (200bb etc)



Also a nice software feature would be auto rebuy so you dont have to keep topping up your *****manually. Being able to reload after losing a big pot, and being able to play the next pot with a full stack would be nice. Obviously it's annoying to lose 3/4 of your *****and get dealt AA the next hand with a 1/4 stack.



I'm certain that if a poll of all the cash game players was taken an overwhelming majority of them would be in favour of these changes and I cant see why anyone would have any objections to them

Awww Jake I like that bit.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?

If Brucie has indeed been given the old heave ho...










may I be first to wish him all the best in his new post at the Royal Mail

2) Why have an ''English only'' chat rule?

or an even better question would be - why have an English only chat rule AND NOT ENFORCE IT?
