We have a friend who lives in Wales in the countryside - she was taken by a friend by car to a drive through vaccine centre - she is in the vulnerable group - but interestingly they also vaccinated her friend and apparently because they have ample vaccine they were offering it to all the drivers irrelevant of age who had brought a person with them. Makes sense

I would say Unbelievable - as of today my rewards chest at the basic level has increased by 33 percent and as the rakeback is fixed at 60c per chest - all though I have binned the spins and mtt tickets it now means that the measly 10 star coins I get per chest is costing me far more in rake.
Spoke to chat - basically withdraw and go and play somewhere else for a month or two and get a reset - or suck it up - only trouble is where can you find consistent 9 ring games other than PS

Hi
If by chance anybody knows of a 125cc Rickman Zundapp Motocross - pre 1974 that is for sale in the UK please let me know - if you find one and I purchase it I will pay a 10 percent finders fee - it has to be pre 74 and have the Rickman frame - condition not important -
Thanks

What happens to the Poker Stables - the majority of people that join a stable, I presume join because they can not finance the stakes they play themselves. Which surely means that they are people that need protection - how is a horse going to receive the funds now to play - surely if they are transferred by the stable to the horse this could be construed by the Gambling Commission as inciting some to gamble who does not have the funds to gamble.
Also if the stable pay directly into the horses bank account and then the horse transfers to the site - how does the horse prove that this is legitimate earnings or income.

Red Dog 10/10 ----- Food Banks - World Poverty is definitely on the increase - society trying to cancel out people who do not share their views (questions for another day).
Regulations - can have a damaging effect as well as a positive - if it is your hard earnt money or inherited you should be able to spend it on how you see fit - if you have a gambling problem there are many services out there to help you with your problem -

For those that think financial checks are the way forward - do not be surprised or have your feelings hurt - when down the road you go into a restaurant, off license, pub or even to book a holiday and they ask to see your financial situation and if you can afford it or should you be putting that money into a pension for your old age rather than buying that bottle of gin.
Come to think of it we should ban people like me from buying racehorses and greyhounds - as very few of us see a return - then we could shut down a lot of the football clubs who if it was not for their owners and supporters, most are in deficit, rugby clubs et al - anything that will potentially lose money - shut it down.
Lets close down these investment platforms 90 percent lose their money - why do we not ban risk completely - thus no more births - no people - no risk.
Since after WW2 we have become a world that likes to introduce more regulations and rules - strange we now have more poverty - more kids cant read or write, the gap between the rich and poor has grown - for those Sci Fi readers - remember the things people laughed at (that will never happen) mobile phones - video calls - space travel - the list is endless - perhaps George Orwell was on to something.

Nice One Double - but news on the Spins front - have received notification that the promo department are looking into this for me - it does seem odd that for 3 months each chest contained star coins, then out of nowhere my last 15 chests have all contained spins

Poker Forums / The Rail / Running Even on the cash tables

Normally I am either down or up but for the last week playing cash every day I have come out even - this has never happened to me before and when I say even I play the same length session 2 tables and end up within a buck of what I started with.
Anybody else had this happen - to be honest its a worry that my game might be stagnating as the online player pool is on the whole quite small -

Okay - saves me having to ask Doobs - I mainly play poker - I have a betting account with 365 which I rarely use if I want to place a horse bet I normally get it done at the track.
I was going to ask Doobs - how much you could lay online in one bet but it seems your saying £500 - If the deal was right I could open up lets say for starters 50 accounts - what would be my commission

Now that a lot of sites are asking for verification of finances so that they cover their backsides, what happens for example when you go to DTD and as they have done previously ask you to buy in via your PP account - if you never play on PP - I keep a minimal tiny amount on the site but I do not play on it - are they suddenly going to allow me to deposit £1500 to buy in to a live mtt.
This goes the same for PS,GG et al.
How are players currently coping at say wanting to play a 5k or $200 mtt online at the moment - also when we go back to playing live will the poker rooms need to know where your money came from - this does seem like a big potential can of worms.

I did ask them if I could transfer the tickets and they said NO - shame they don't have a page where you could donate the tickets and bonuses to charity. Sorry Doobs
Bergeroo - All because I go to my mates club and there is a private room with a jar of freshly rolled £20 notes and a couple of feet of some white powder which is free to me- neither compels me to take the £20 notes or avail myself to the white powder - the same goes for a poker site giving me mtt tickets - spins and casino bonuses - if they want to give me rake back , give me something that I want.
Also by issuing these so called bonuses they are in fact just reducing the Rake Back - it does seem that if you are a non depositing player you receive less which I don't understand why they do it because my rake paid is far more consistent than that of a player who just pops in loses and comes back a month later
Never the less it still is Happy Days -

After opening 4 more chests all with Spin tickets - I am probably the first player to cancel their RB - after a long conversation with chat I asked them to delete all mtt tickets - spin tickets - casino bonuses - pso tickets - the works
Which after some persuasion they did Hussar - I should now be on zero RB - Hussar -

Yes - i have been lucky and won a few spins currently 50 percent @ .75 cents
With regard to the casino bonuses I have been given free bets and other baubles from PS over the last 5 years but I choose not to use them and they eventually disappear - I am a man who can not be bribed with mere bagatelles -

Spoke to Stars - who confirmed that what is in the chest should be representative of the games you play - i have had 5 chests all the same 10 coins 2 x 25c spins - obviously the content can not be random - but because I used the spin tickets - apparently I now play spins which is why I now get spin tickets - so my rake back bunce has gone from $6 for 10 chests to 60c for ten chests - as the value of the spin ticket is only any good if i win the spin.
Oh and to add a bit extra they have decided to make my account have additional casino bonuses which is even more strange as I have never been on the casino site.
Finally - they have given me a chest bonus worth $5000 - trouble is I can only access it if I MOVE UP in the cash game stakes - why would I when I am content playing at the level I am at
Rock on live play coming back
