blonde poker forum

Betfair Poker, in what we both hope will be a long term partnership. In due course we'll have details of promotions for blondes with Betfair. Just to give you a flavour this may involve the WSOPE, or for example an inter-forum tournament against forums from across Europe

Anyway, money from sponsors such as Betfair helps us to operate the site/forum. I hope you support them via the banners on blonde when details are announced

Is there going to be any promos on the sports betting side of things?

Thanks Blatch.

Not as yet, though I hope so. It's been suggested

Nice one Betfair. :)up

Be good if they would be represented here to answer any questions..........I've got one or two on WSOPE qualifcation !

Who are Betfair?

Hehe. 

I think they'd do well with a sports betting promotion for blondes.

From what I heard tonight a certain leggy blonde may be able to help you there....

Rich,

Is a betting account the same as a poker acount? I have a betting acc but am going to have a go at the WSOPE sats so will be downloading at some point.

TY

There will be a Betfair Poker rep for the forum, answering questions/customer service/feedback etc. Sorting that out asap

Will ask. Not sure if you can transfer funds between the two wallets

I've only ever used one wallet for sports betting and poker.

Welcome back Ruru :)

Nope.

New forum rep

Ariston ?

Betfair use the same Wallet for th poker and sports betting.  You also earn Betfair points whilst playing poker which give you a discount of any comission you pay on your sports betting profit.

The only thing you will need a seperate Wallet for is if you ever bet on a Sport that is being played in Australia.

If he ever got reinstated after all his banaments I'm sure he just got bored. He liked arguing for sure though........... 8)

Reload bonus to celebrate would be nice.

Any specific rakeback deal for signing up through blonde?

Sigh...would have preferred Swank Poker. But congrats on the new sponsorship. 

Further information from Betfair

So after all the wait - there is no rakeback?  ;sleep;
Any details of the promised freerolls? And can someone confirm which network Betfair is on these days.

Patience.

Promised freerolls?

still trying to get an answer on that

Hi Blonde

Sorry this thread got to two pages before I've had chance to reply to your questions. I'm on annual leave but have popped in to introduce myself.

My name is Matt and I'm freelance but working on behalf of Betfair Poker on a number of projects including being a presence on various forums such as this one.

My presence here will allow you to ask any questions about Betfair Poker in general, quiz me on bonuses and rakebacks and specific promotions. Although I'm here to mainly answer questions about the aforementioned subjects, I am willing to try and help you with any problems you have had or are having regarding Betfair Poker. Please bare in mind that I have no access to individual accounts though I am in contact with affiliate staff and the management team so may be able to help you out a little.

Also, please feel free to make any suggestions to me as I will make sure these reach the appropriate department. You can contact me through this thread or by sending me a PM, also TightEnd has me on MSN if it is really urgent.

Here are some answers to questions already asked:

Rakeback and bonuses - I am just waiting on the affiliate team getting back to me but rest assured there will be a rakeback deal in place very soon. I don't want to quote figures until they are confirmed but from what I hear it sounds like it will be a very good deal.

Multiple wallets - If you have a Betfair sports betting account then you will use the same wallet for all betfair products, including poker. The only slight difference is if you sign-up for a Betfair Poker account it will ask you for a poker alias, the name displayed at the tables, though you'll sign into the poker client with your Betfair username.

Betting promotion - I like the sound of a betting promotion, especially with the footie season in full flow now. I'll pass it on and see what the powers that be come up with.

Well that's me over and done with for now. I'll hand the thread back over to you and give updates on the above points as soon as I have any information.

Cheers

Matt

Is there any chance of any promotions/freerolls for WSOP-E?

I will ask the powers that be if there are going to be any specific WSOPE promotions for Blonde Poker members and will report back here.

One promotion that has started to run is the Poker Filled Summer where all four of the Betfair Pros, Annette Obrestad, John Tabatabai, Peter Jepsen and Sorel Mizzi will be hosting challenges and will have bounties on their heads for the majority of their play.

On August 25th, 27th and 29th between 1930 and 2100 UK time, all four pros can be found at the SNG tables with bounties on their heads ranging from $10 all the way up to $100. I have it on good authority that John Tabatabai plays at least 12 at once so there's a decent chance you'll end up on one of his tables! I must let you know though that Heads-up and Double or Nothing games do not count in this challenge.

Hi Matt

Please confirm I already have a betfair betting account - can I open the poker wallet separately via the Blonde banner? Does Betfair treat them as 2 separate entities?

Thanks
Donerkebab

donerkebab - Could you send me a PM with your Betfair log in name and I will find out 100%. It will depend on whether or not you opened your original Betfair account through an affiliate or not if I remember correctly but I can pull some strings with the affiliate department if needed!

Hi donerkebab,

I can't reply to your PM until I have ten posts so will post here instead to add to my count!

I'm just waiting to find out if I can get you re-tagged to Blonde and will let you know ASAP

Rakeback ?

I clicked on the banner anyway - pending the response from BetfairGuy..... ;sleep;  I really want to get into these $55 WSOPE sats whilst still some overlay

it leads to another redirect banner which says 40% rakeback....
No idea how it operates or paid - maybe BetfairGuy wants to elaborate

I am sure I replied to you and told you that you had already signed up for an account through another affiliate but I was trying to get you retagged to th Blonde scheme. Obviously not, can' find any old messages in my outbox

As far as I know, the deal with the Blonde banners is 30% rakeback for earning 1-29,999 Betfair Points and if you earn 30k Betfair Points the rakeback rises to 40%

Thanks.  For example, how many 'points' would I get for a $50 + $5 STT?

i opened my betfair through \n old betfair banner alongtime ago do i come under this new schemme?

30K points is equivalent to £1500 rake, so approximately 180 50+5 would be needed per month for 40% rakeback.

Got the exchange rate the wrong way round, should be 480 $55s.
