Hi CC

I'm looking to sign up to a new poker site or two and I was hoping to gather some opinions and a bit of clarity on some issues or concerns. I'm thinking of having a main one that I can play on laptop, but I was also hoping to be able to have one I can play via my lumia windows phone.

I've played for over a decade and did quite well when I first started, playing cash games. But after the site I used stopped US players, I found the profits dried up and since then only dip into it every now and then as a hobby, but mainly tournaments.

After a busy few years, I have a bit more time on my hands and have started enjoying playing again. However I'm still with the same poker site I first signed up to(Microgaming), but nowadays its got less players, less tournaments, smaller prizes.

I'd looked into joining various sites and am finding the whole situation with regulations and changes rather confusing. I found that Carbon Poker can be played on mobile, but have subsequently found that they don't allow UK players for whatever reason.

I was expecting I might be able to find a busier site for my main account, possibly with US players, but it seems like any site with US players, could be shut down or have issues due to legislation. I'm looking to find a poker site to use long term and so I don't want to sign up to one that's going to have issues a few months down the line.

I'm currently leaning towards pokerstars for my main account, although would be interested if there was one with US players. I don't know if there is one I can play via mobile. But any help would be very much appreciated.

You can play mobile on Full Tilt and some ipoker sites. On microgaming I can not agree. 9744 - this number of players now on my SJ poker client.

If I could play on Pokerstars I would play on Pokerstars. You can play on Pokerstars. So play on Pokerstars.

+1 for pokerstars, envy of all US players. +1 for ACR as well, my current favorite. You may be interested in a thread I posted HERE which allows you to play ANY site from mobile (by mirroring your computer to your phone/tablet). It works over any data, so you can play even when you're not at home, so long as your computer is turned on and internet connected. Welcome to CC :)

I see alot of people mention WPN, is this because of tournaments? I say this because they by far have the toughest U.S. cash games. Even at micros can be difficult to have one fish per table.

I would say its because they have the best promotions and player rewards program.

WPN's player field is growing. The new Jackpot poker games and Freebuy Super Series promotions are bringing a different breed of player to the cash tables...more gamblers, fewer nits, more money. It's a good site to be playing right now!

I am really starting to hate WPN, it's not the software's fault, but every time at sd it feels like I am in second place with a real good hand, not quite a cooler, but it feels almost impossible to win on there, where as I have won on every other site I have played on.

Microgaming has increased number of players to almost 10k, but You should explore games at poker stars, full tilt and 888

Pokerstars has a huge following and if you're just starting out at lower cash tables you will see a higher % of fish than most of the other sites. I found that even a decent knowledge of the game can have you raking in quick profits at PS - a lot of loose limpers at the micro tables. Good luck!

Please explain this part in more detail.

every Monday winning or losing you will get a cashback from 25% percent of the money you play.

is this just rakeback? cuz it sounds like every week you will receive 25% of the bets you make as cashback?

and this part as well

as a manager i must register you to the site as this is my work.

players don't sign up on their own, you create their accounts for them?

sounds legit to me

A refund of what? Rake paid? Amount wagered?

What information do you need from a potential signup to create their account for them? How many players have you signed up?
