IMPORTANT - The blonde-Mansion Promotion

[Graham C]

I don't agree with the principle, but what can I do about it?  I'd rather not get worked up about it and be resentful, I'll just get on with things and if I'm in, I'm in.  If I'm not in, well it was nice while it lasted   Whilst they are happy to give me $500 worth of tournament entries, I'm happy to contribute my small amount of rake to them.

I think the thing that rankles with me is the pettiness of Mansion over this.

Over the last few months I've watched as Mansion have seemed to give the impression that they're allergic to money. Huge overlays every night and that Poker Dome thing have seen tremendous value for players who want to take advantage of it. And yet, there has been little to no improvement in their software over the last few months (no four colour deck, inability to swtich sound off are just two simple things they're not addressed).

Then, they set up this deal with Blonde (and a couple of other forums) but quickly realise they made the terms too generous. If Mansion were some little poker room starting up, who had to watch the pennies, then you could understand them if they made a rick they'd want to change the terms, as it could really affect them negatively. But Mansion are sweating money out of every pore. They don't seem to realise that the small amount of money they might save by changing the terms will probably not be worth it when compared to the impression they give of their competance.

Yes, they were attempting to give us something for nothing so I'm not moaning at some great injustice which has befallen me, and all kudos to Kev and Tighty for fighting for the corner of us Blondes who already had Mansion accounts. It just annoys me that a company which is so big, which has so much money behind it, and has employees who are earning big money (tax-free) can show themselves to not really understand the industry they work in.
