Just came upon this while browsing another forum. It appears that from January onwards that Grosvenor casinos will no longer be charging a registration fee but will instead be charging a "Session" fee according to the scale below:
Upto £5 entry = £2 Charge
£6 - £15 entry = £3
£16 - £50 = £5
£51 - £100 = £10
£101 - £1000 = 10% capped at £50
£1000 and above = 5% no cap
Can anyone confirm if this is true ? £5 entry for a £20 rebuy seems very steep.

I've moved this onto the main board from Live Poker so that more people are likely to see it. I'm sure no-one is going to be too happy about it (I believe these are the charges that Dik9 has been forewarning of previously).

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

I am surprised at the surprise really.
From a business perspective they are still offering a loss leader. I don't see how any operation can make money providing tables, chips, dealers, etc. at these cost limits.
Never see anyone moan about the 20% upfront and 10% from the prizepool charges in some US casinos.

the swimming with devilfish book gives the impression that most of the prize money gets given back at the roulette table.

Can anyone confirm if this is true ? £5 entry for a £20 rebuy seems very steep.
Not just steep, unbeatable in the long run. Unless you have more than a 25% edge on the field. lol. |
