Anyone get the chance to join these rooms before they banned the USA Players, they don't have much for ring games, but their tournaments are the best value out there.

I play on Eurolinx mostly and they do free Wire transfers, I did this without any verification, or deposit, I won from freerolls, then with drew a few thousand dollars.

although my bank charged me $15 a pop.

just curious if anyone plays on this network, I think it is the best out there and hope it can survive...,

I used to play on Dream and royal vegas before they banned, and actually won the first tourney in real money I entered on there. The software was ok, but slow compared to Tilt or Stars. In tourneys the blinds moved up too rapidly imo, but it seemed like easy pickin's in the micro sit n go's. Not to mention, at the time, they gave you something like $5 or $10 just for verifying you had a credit card, no deposit required.

not sure when you last played, but they did a software upgrade about a year a go, it was a nice upgrade, looks better than the cake network, part network, and of course pitbullpoker.

They have options to disable animations, which they added in the upgrade, and play zooms a long.

I still play at the rooms who allow USA players to play freerolls and such, but they dont allow deposits, which is fine by me :p

Yeah...I still have an account an play occassionally on PokerTime (they automatically moved me from Royal Vegas with same benefits when RVP said no more USA players--Microgaming still allows US players that already had accounts set up)

It does have excellent MTT value, even though the ring games have really dropped off.

I must confess I have deep love for Microgaming/Royal Vegas since several years ago they gave me $10 for free--I never had to deposit (although they have changed their policy over the years, now mandatory to make a small deposit to withdraw) and ending up making tons of withdrawls deep six figures, most of it from MTTs but I also played a lot of NL and LHE Cash. Unfortunately, those games of 10/20 LHE, 5/10 NL are not there anymore, but the excellent MTTs still are.

It would appear they are releasing another site upgrade to the network.

Not sure of the exact release date, but I think they are moving in the right direction, now to just get the $500 freerolls back and everything would be splendid.

I still recommend PokerTime, esp for MTTs, but Im not sure Microgaming can recover in poker since they have an ongoing problem with 27 skins that closed awhile back while not paying players. (recommend only cause PokerTime owners are strong and have excellent history)

Eurolinx - $1,000 Survival Freeroll 5-10-2009

3PM EST

This was the biggest update to the network, the survival MTT

It reduces the field 10% each ten minute level, and pays the prize pool to 10% of the entrants equally.

They had 50$ freerolls all week long to promote their new format,

I had fun in them, lots of sit outs, so by level 6 or so, you run into everyone trying to stay above the elimination mark....

GL to those who play...
