Interesting point mate,
I agree. What I see 1deal as doing is very benefical. I think they have done an excellent job, based on what I saw. It gives the player a chance to try the site out., at no risk. NO need to continue depositing if dont want to.
basically advertsing really.
With any profits, alot of it goes back to the players in terms of running the event. As well as paying staff and for their own time.
I have seen this type of system alot in Europe and even now in the USA
Different sites... Some close to RED Hots approach. A tad different.
At anyrate, i like it and think its wonderful that peope are willing to do it.
NO money is risked at all by the player, and no rake is taken from them in my mind.
Thanks for your comments mate. Interesting enough, many of the people who have issues with it and are rather upset by it are the sames ones who have signed up with One deal!! Go figure..
Its a good Job what they doing, i certainly vouch for them.
Its not a new idea no and never was, dozens of places are doing it, just not many in the T.O areas..
Interesting to note. The CPF bucks here are excellent, and to come here is great. These sme people who post and show anger, theey receive these points to receive bucks, these bucks are given to play on a poker site, of which if i am not mistaken make this forum money. The money is transfered via this site to their accounts to play. Mind you they do not need to make a deposit to get reimbursed. Essentially its the same thing. Except with the other way, they would deposit and recieve refund, s you play with CPF bucks in order to cash out i think you have to make a deposit anyway and play a bit? I may be wrong...
its all about advertising the sites.. If a way exists that would allow groups who run these events to fund account for the players, then im sure that would make a difference?? Some already do this. Affiliates do the depositng for the players to get them there, and trust they wont withdrawl. Is this illegal?
I give you 20 to deposit, and you give 20 to room..??
Only difference really is you give 20 to room and i give you 20.
Most rooms will not allow the first method, and rightly so, it cn cause alot of fraudulent claims.. But as i see some doing anyway... just cehck it out.
To refund a player when he makes his deposit, both makes hm a legitamate player on room, and the person offering these deals to refund him, and enter him in a freeroll tourney for free. No mattter what this person walks out with no loss... so the group have not proftited from player.
rather they made a small advertising fee to get player there.
its the same thing with CPfs here..essentially.
You post and post because you want cpf bucks to play poker with fo free..
Just a different method??
this forum makes a rake on that dont they?? iS that illegal?
Anyway its all good.. I wonder would doing a freeroll for CpF bucks be illegal?
LOL...
Have a great night all.. and good luck at the tables.
Solace015;130589 wroteIMO-Despite being in it for the love of the game, the minimum deposit reiumbursed is obviously similar to 1deal and they make money off the rake as all members are affiliates. Some would be a loss as they wouldn't play and others would make them the money hopefully depositing time and time again and getting their friends to sign up too to make it worthwhile if they like the site etc. Perhaps some people wont claim their refund, which helps of course...Not a scam, not illegal, just a good business model that takes a ton of work but can help get people online to the sites they endorse.
