Changing Sites

Hi guys. I've decided to leave William Hill on the ipoker network after over a week of ridiculous emails back and forth.

I hear a lot about Full Tilt and Party Poker on here so I just wanted to hear some of your thoughts before I make my decision.

I play at the micros at the min, I only have about $75 to deposit (built up from 15) so I'm looking for a decent deposit bonus. I'll also want rakeback setting up if I can.

What are the bonus's like on these sites? Are there a lot of people playing at the micros (.01/02 full ring nlhe)?

One of the main things I liked about playing on the ipoker network was being able to buy in for $5 at the .01/.02 limit so I was really deep stacked. is this the same at any of the above sites?

I live in the uk, any idea how easy it is to deposit/withdraw funds?

Any info that helps with my decision would be great!

*** Below is just a moan about WH, you can ignore it if you like ***
The reason I'm leaving WH is due to their customer support. I was asking about a problem with my rakeback not being set up (even though they had sent me confirmation twice saying it was, once in december and again a few months ago) and no matter what questions I asked they just sent me a paragraph (they no doubt copy and pasted) about what rakeback is. "Have I ever had a payment? I can't see any in my transaction history" was met with an explanation of what rakeback is. "This was suposed to have been set up in december, has there ever been a rakeback payment made to my account? Is there a minimum amount I haven't met or something?" Another explanation of what rakeback is. Over and over! Eventually I asked them how to go about making a complaint and they actually sent me another email about rakeback being paid on tuesdays and how it was calculated. What a joke.

They've since told me they set up rakeback on another account for me and gave me the username. They said if I'd used that account I would have been paid. They went on to tell me that because I have two accounts (one of which they created and I've never used) that I'm breaking their rules and have to choose which one to delete. After almost 2 weeks of this messing around I've decided it's just not worth the hassle and I'll move to another site.

Sorry about the moaning! I just needed to get it off my chest. Any info about the sites would be much appreciated

Well full tilt has a 100% deposit bonus but you have to unlock it steps at a time, like i think 50 ftp unlocks 10$s of bonus so you would need about 500 ftp to unlock all 75$ of bonus. The micro games have a lot of action and some deepstack tables, lowest limits are .02/.04 nl and .05/.10 limit. There are a lot of donks so be carefull playin tha low limits. And about rakeback, a lot of sites offer rakeback on full tilt and usually all of them offer pretty big freerolls for signing up for rakeback through them. So there you go hope that helps you a little bit.

Tons of "which site is better?" threads around here. The "search" function is your friend. Mods will usually lock these due to redundancy.

This ^^ isn't accurate. Fulltilt has 0.01/0.02 & 0.02/0.05 in all games.

re: Changing Sites poker

While the title is likely to attract spam (I'll change it), the OP has taken the time to ask some specific questions worth answering.

Pokerstars doesn't have rakeback and max bonus is only $50. Micro is deepstacked for 2nl and 5nl only. FullTilt has both standard depth and deepstacked tables for each level afaik.

Go to the Poker Bonuses tab at the top of the page for some information on that.

Thanks for the info, I;ve just been checking out the review on the bonuses section. I think I might go with Full Tilt. Do you know if it's possible to get the deposit bonus and rakeback, or is it usually one or the other?
