What on earth is going on? I now can't log in, the message about technical faults seems very spammy and not very official... technology scares me.

They have launched their new Client, but the Site is not coping at all. I heard earlier today that nobody can log in.

Note this comment....

Unfortunately, early downloaders are reporting an extremely unresponsive client, with navigating between tabs taking 20-30 seconds or more. This could be due to high server load affecting the responsiveness of the client.

It is my clear understanding that their traffic has fallen off a cliff in the last 6 months, far worse than the Industry decline of 11%.

Best play on DTD, then, eh?

yh tried regging a comp, and the site logged me out lol.
They likely to have issues for next 24 hours id imagine. Software cant be any worse tho, so anything is an improvement. Only ipoker software is worse than party's old software imo.
And yh can imagine there suffering with traffic because they charge like 2.5% on deposits and withdrawls

the table themes are awful, seen lots of people complain they cant see their stacks etc.

looks like they beta'ed this well.


also they charge a vig on withdrawing if you win, so if  you win a major they get on top of rake 3% of your score if you ever want to see the money.

top site that. especially as they've always debited money from dormant accounts.

With you there bro. The lag on ipoker is beyond tilting

Also decided to update itself yesterday just AFTER I'd regged for a DTD sat.
Update only took 35 mintues.
I log back in to find myself with c200 from a 10k starting stack

ffs, "all new client" they are 6 months late releasing is really just the exact same client with different colours.

such a fail.

All these achievement badges are totally pointless and tilting at first.  Getting 1 for each pair/AK you are dealt for the 1st time, 1st time you make a set/flush/boat etc even for hand landmarks and busting people.  Got set over setted early today and got a popup "Congratulations, you were dealt pocket Jacks!"  nice rub

They charge vig on withdrawals even to bank accounts?

I think they charge vig on withdrawals to skrill/neteller  3% uncapped, if you withdraw by bank transfer its a flat $10 charge (and they screw you pretty good on the exchange rate if your bank is in a different currency), if you withdraw to your card it a flat $2.50 fee and again they screw you good on the exchange rate
