Hi Bubbasbestbabe, Afraid to say that Ive had confirmation from the Network that there is no way I can accept US accounts, Ive pushed for this and offered several options to them, including getting it signed off on my own Gaming License, but to no avail.

So sorry, in the forseable future we wont be taking US players..... Send a letter to your senator (or however it works in the USA) as the legislature in place is plain rediculous.

thanks and sorry again

martin.

Martin, if you have any private thoughts which should not be expressed in public, feel free to share them with me or with KD via email. In confidence, of course.

If, at some later date, we were careless enough to disclose them to our friends, that would hardly be your fault.

when you get to 1000 VIP points you get to choose your starting hands, Ive gone for the 84os special, I think AA is still available xife.
(See you there when I wake up- could be anywhere between 5am and 10am(uk time))

Hi Xife, I will be opening the VIP point store for the first of December - you will be able to redeem them for the standard poker fare, ie. hats, T-shirts, Books, AND I am including Ipods, PSP's, Digital Camera's etc.....

I still need to work out how the pricing is going to work - but that'll be sorted in the next few weeks.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE BETA TESTERS

Just Like to Thank everyone for beta testing for us

- you might have seen the overhaul to most pages on www.costadelpoker.com - if not check them out.

There is more to come over the coming weeks, with new sections being added all the time - so please leave us in your bookmarks and check in regularly.

The first schedualed Software update is on the 20th of November - so I hope to be getting through some modifications to the client at this point.

Re. The Cashier - the single thing that MOST of you referred to for improvement: I have now made it a lot simpler with some "navigational aids", and will be doing a few more. FYI - the reason why this MUST be web based is because of the Casino and Sportsbook that are also web based.

On the Flip side about the cashier though - Its the only one Im aware of that keeps an exact track on exactly how much money youve got (total) instantly (press the refresh button at the bottom of the browser) - This is a great tool for the multi-tablers amongst us!

Anyway - I hope to see you all on the tables now that we are open for business!

thanks and Best regards

Martin

Martin, stop bloody advertising on this page ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put me down for an IPOD, I'll have the relevant number of VIP points by 2050, as someone lied to me by saying they go up quicker on a cash table when the pot gets bigger than 31 cents(unless Im reading it wrong, I could be), mine hardly go up, even though I sit there in silence with the fish for hours on end.

Aha - but one of the Beta Testers (who shall remain nameless) has NOT deposited any more, and has 368 VIP points so far. In 9 days - playing with 20€!! nana-na-nana!! Come play with the big boys!!
