A couple of years back I was at a poker industry event in malta.
http://www.worldpokercongress.com/2007/index.cfmI was asked to be a guest speaker. I thought it might help with a deal so thought why not, a few days in the sun and some beers was the worst that could happen.
In a seminar I sat in, a representative from what i thought was I-poker was plugging White label solutions
He tried to convince me to set one and and get all my friends to play it generating me lots of rake. I am sure this was there entire stratergy to attrach many small time skins.
Anyone I got playing would probably be winning players. Thankfully I had no interest in it. (way to lazy to run my own business at the time)
This was before the network was joined by Mansion, Bet365 and William hill.
It seems to me now they have completely turned around their policies through pressure of the big skins.
