new poker site

[The Camel]

I think there was a site which was rake free but charged a small amount each month to be a member? Maybe $20 per month.

Was that WSEX or someone else?

Don't think WSEX charged membership....they intended to utilise it to drive traffic to their sports and casino businesses I think

Even if this works and you get going, are you not worried stars and maybe some other sites just undercut you and offer players way more than you ever can?  Theyre so powerful Id imagine its pretty hard to compete

for sure jamie, idk i just think that it was very unusual for a market to transition from tangible to online as basically a mirror. Im not sure if its possible, but iv spoken to a few close pals (and will be speaking to a LOT more) and i think its got a shot.

Ill be harassing a lot of blondes and poker players worldwide in the next couple of months, i dont think raising investment would be that much of a problem, but there are a tonne of other hidden issues. As kin said, the piece of string analogy is apt. Still gonna think about giving it a v serious shot though.

Not wanting to ruin your idea but the bolded part is key! How are you going to get

1. Good enough software
2. Appropriate advertising

to name just 2 key areas when you seem to think appropriate investment wouldn't be that much of a problem!

Readers of blonde/2+2 etc isn't appropriate advertising, you need to appeal to the masses as any poker site needs rec players as well as the readers of poker sites.

Best of luck with it, but make sure you fully understand how much £ is involved before you start as you can burn money pretty quickly

Pretty hard to undercut zero rake surely?

Not just with lowered rake I mean, but with promotions/bonus's etc
