Can imagine the average poker player would love this......


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.

surprised anyone wins at all. seems like you get three credits per day and each 10max STT winner gets 0,5EUR. 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.

yeah just been reading some french forums. they do not have a good rep at all, you're right!

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

That is the worst idea.......

A purely advert driven system where players didn't ever need a penny with decent 3 figure pay days for a win would be a good way to bring new players to the game for them to be able to move on IMHO
