playaces by sportsbook.com vs playaces by playersonly

i'm assuming these are different company skins, i have software for both that won't run simultaneously. they are calling them both "playaces" though. does playersonly have affiliation with sportsbook.com? any opinions on which skin (company) gives better US withdraw of funds support? that seems to be the tricky part trying to find a new US friendly site. they are charging big fees with big minimums to mail checks, unlike pokerstar's no fee/no minimum/no hassle/48 hours echeck direct deposit back into our checking accounts.

This made me check up on my old Players Only account.

They moved to the Merge Network, and are playing Shared Player Tables with Sportsbook, and Carbon and others.

The Playaces thing shows up on both the Sportsbook, and Players Only web sites and is probably handled by the same people. Carbon, tho it plays the same tables, does not show as Playaces. Merge provides the engine, and the sites provide the doors to those Shared Player Tables (got that term from the T&C's). That is an educated guess.

IMO, anybody other than Sportsbook.com poker until Sportsbook takes care of its abysmal D- rating on SportsBookReview for ripping off players in their sportsbook and refusing to mediate the disputes for years now.

I will get back to you as soon as possible ...but one of these sites that's US-friendly allows for one free mailed check per month...I've looked at so many for the next one to join, I'm not sure which one I was looking at...it may have been Sportsbook and/or PlayersOnly..!
