The table is surrounded by banners, one downstairs and one in the upper right, and the parties are interrupted about every ten minutes (each rising blinds) for screen advertising 120 seconds.

So you'd have to play every possible tournament and win a third of them in the average month to make the min cashout value of 15EUR...

That assumes they actually pay you - they seem to have a reputation for paying slowly, average 6 weeks from request.

Title: Re: anyone heard of bankofpoker Post by: BorntoBubble on July 29, 2015, 02:35:46 AM Interesting concept though.
If rake was reduced would people mind adverts? As a rec I would say no for me but as a pro saving a couple of $$ per comp or per day can add up Title: Re: anyone heard of bankofpoker Post by: tikay on July 29, 2015, 08:15:54 AM Interesting concept though.
