please bring back the old betfair poker site

cant get connected here

would love to contribute - but cant load up the new software.

It's little more than pathetic isn't it?
With months to prepare for the switch over then loads can't get on.

Crazy!

don't worry ,,when you get on its bad ,,its bad bad ,,its a cheap cross of PKR and full tilt ,,i hate all them pre packed sites ,,all the same set ups ,,betfair 1 was out there on its own
how do i buy the software for betfair 1 ,,id market it better than this shower
the lobby chat on betfair 2 says it all ,,complaints and more complaints
im disgusted to be honest

I'll sign this petition.

Signed.  New site is PANTS!

Signed. New site is proper PANTS !

Well been playing betfair poker for maybe 4 years (even when it was on the same server as littlewoods) and this is the darkest day to date to be honest. Not only am i being forced to change my alias but when i try to change it its an endless cycle telling me to change it and then changing it and nothing happening. If this isn't sorted by tomorow then i think ia m will just withdraw my bankroll and try my luck elsewhere....

I really can't understand how they can call this upgrade?

Signed or should that be sighed - Didn't think I'd miss it as much as I have.
Apart from the very very very crowded chat facility on the home page little chance to chat with friends.
Lost the community feel.

Dear all,

yes, this new site is the worst thing Betfair could have done since their original software was actually the best site to play on.

I just cannot play amidst all the gimmickery avatars and cushy sound effects, I don't even know who's doing what at the table, its all so convoluted and gaudy.

Just lost $50 on it, nothing new there, only this time, I'm not so hurried to get back in!

Do you think they'll give us the option to play with the old software? Does anyone know of a site
that had similar 'no-nonsense' gaming to betfair's original?

What a load of rubbish this new site is

killed all community
no player find
no observer chat
doubled the fee %
no value satts to bigger events

probably killed off your poker room

Whatever possessed Betfair to change to this? I am willing to bet that anyone offering the old site would have thousands of Betfair accounts move immediately. Can anyone think of a single advantage the new site has over the old? Presumably the Betfair owners have outsourced and make even more money - I would like to see from Betfair details of the deal they have struck with a list of the advantages for Betfair Poker account holders.
Johnny C - Oh, sorry, for some reason I now have to be Johnny C AA!!!

Yep agree with all you have said, where are the 6 seater tables ?

WELL LOGGED IN AFTER 2 DAYS USING A NEW MADE UP ACCOUNT AND WHAT CAN I SAY..NO WAITING LIST OPTION..NO FIND A PLAYER OPTION..NO WAY OF TELLING WHERE A PLAYER IS FROM..CANT CHAT OVER A TABLE UNLESS PLAYING ON IT INSTEAD A PATHETIC CHAT OPTION AT THE START OF LOGGING IN...AND 5/10 PLAYER TABLES !!! WATS ALL TAT ABOUT ?????
IS THIS WHAT WE"VE ALL BEEN WAITIN FOR..BRING BACK THE OLD BETFAIR PLEASEEEEEE TATS WAT I SAY...TIME TO FIND A NEW SITE !!! BUT TAKING IN ACCOUNT WATS OUT THERE WILL PROBABLY GIVE UP !!!
WAT A DISGRACE AND TO THK TAT SUMONE GETS PAID FOR GIVIN US THIS CRAP !!!!!!

I know this doesn't answer all your questions but VincePink you can turn off avatars and customise the way your table looks.

Please look at our product demo videos to see how

much better imo, better interface by miles.was a work up if you tried to get on day one,Iam not a fan of 10 seater tables really makes no sense, messes up the ft bubbles.But not crashed on me,best thing is not having to have some dumb side bit to the table for the action buttons,which make multi tabling on laptops carp.

i started this thread and whoever posted this from betfair wanna wake up ,,its not just the avatars its everything ,,its the unique features that made betfair ,,you have destroyed all that and if you read the amount of posts that are complaining then you have to see that you've ballsed up ,,put the option of the old software up and well all be happy 
im not playing anymore on the new site and if you check my record im with you guys since your launch ,,and i can name at least 20 more that i put on to your site ,,the will confirm this too ,,ive been to promotional nights got the hat and sweatshirts as well ,,i even use a betfair poker chip when i play live poker ,, all thats gone now over some genius who decided this is a good idea when clearly its not ,,admit mistakes where made ,,fix it ,,or youl see your dwindling client base shrink again
RANT OVER
good luck with whatever decision is made ,,unfortunately these rants will probably fall on deaf ears
thank you to all players here ,,if someone else knows a site similar to what betfair was id be interested ,,no spammers though

YEAH GET THE OLD SITE BACK UP !!!!!

Yes its crap

Was not able to get in after two days. Will not play on BF poker again.

How can such a large company make such a FCUK UP of a release with so many bugs and issues.

Good luck to anyone who plays here now, you are going to need it.

Apologies we have moved to the Ongame Network and therefore some of our usernames had already been taken by their players. I hope this didn't inconvenience you too much and you can find a suitable username.

Sorry i quit if it don't change.


Bring back old program/



Signed

I agree with the chat issues find a player and waiting lists.I like to think these can be overcome in the next update? On the posotive side of things at least there is action on the tables and plenty of choice.

signed. the chat issue is my biggest gripe

Bring back version 1

new site sheeite and more bad beats than normal think i,ll leave

iagree been with betfair for years and realy miss the site

yeah i agree with u all..the new sites complete rubbish just like all the other crap ones out there on offer....real shame the old site has gone will never play poker online again.

A sit n go takes forever cos everyone keeps getting disconnected and i registered for 6 tournys which i didnt get 2 play cos it wouldnt let me join and im told by the betfair customer services im the only 1 with problems!! LIARS I wont be back

5 seater tables, what a joke...........


even have a 20 dollar coinflip, one hand, winner takes all, joke.......


i loved the six seaters!!!!!!!!! loved them!!

100% Agreeee... Old site is was much better, and yeh it is tottaly like a bad version of PKR i left playing Pkr cause it was too focused on the graphis etctec...and not the on the gameplay. Please gief BF1 back!!!!!!!!!!!!

the so called upgrade is a total disaster......playing for half an hour  is  a really tiring chore not the easy relaxing game it used to be with the old layout....they"ll never get their money or old fan base back but will they listen/ I doubt it....

betfair poker 2 the only site that tilts ya before you play

I am no longer playing poker here i hate it

New site is 200% better than the old heap of rubbish, not as good as crypto but I can bear to play BF again :)

[>o][>o][>o][>o][>o]The New System is Very Boring and it brings us pleasure not money
i hardly Use it Now  because its Hard to use

I HATE IT
PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD ONE !!



Reagge onee

All this "bring back the old site" cr@p is a waste of time - it's gone unless someone else buys the software.  If the lack of action, and the ludicrously long waits to actually get a game because of not enough people playing is the price of seeing the back of old site, then good riddance.

The problem is not the old site, but the choice of new platform.  Five and 10 player tables only?  WTF.  The poor connectivity.  The terrible layout where everything important is in tiny font.  Max 50 player SNGs.

WTF to all the above imo.

And no waiting lists for cash game tables is unforgivable.

Rarely play cash games myself Poolio, but plenty of others agree - that seems a sensible addition to the "WTF" list.

I couldn't even see a 'remember folded cards ' option

Bring back the old software

they arnt going to bring back the old software..they probably have a contract with onegame plus they are going to give this one a chnce. the old software is gone. i hear there are other poker sites, so get over it and change site of you dont like the new software.

I`m off.

everyone is off  betfair customer response team
i joined pacific poker some other players joined full tilt
your client base is dwindling ,,read this thread and realise what a **** up youve made
i wish all the players the best ,,pity we wont get to chat anymore ,,
RIP BETFAIR POKER 1 {the original and best type}

A complete disaster. The 'upgrade' is most definetly a backwards step. I have played on betfair for many years but im afraid i just cant get to grips with this ****. Im all for change but im not a fan at all. Goodbye betfair...
