Canadians players badly needed on IronPoker

[Pokerguy6666]

UNIBET no longer accepts Canadians

Unibet accepts Canadians. I play there with many other Canadians. their withdrawls are fast and easy right into you bank account. Best site for a fair game.

Yeah, but their rb and vip are lower than other ipoker sites. I play on the Bet Most skin and get 65% flat rake back weekly.

Hi, I am sorry to contradict you but unibet no longer accepts Canadians. Just go on the registration page of Unibet and the first page will show the countries they accept and unfortunately canada is not there. From what I read, Unibet does not accept any NEW Canadian players (been like that for a couple of years I think).

Can someone tell me:

What exactly is the sign-up bonus on Ironpoker?
how many pts. do we need to clear the bonus?
does it clear in chunks? (what %?)


Loyalty program:
how many pts. do you get for each $1 (or 1 euro) raked? (they have different pt. systems on the different ipoker sites & am wondering if Ironpoker is setup the same as Titan (it seems to be, where you can opt-in for automatic 20% rakeback once you've hit a certain number of pts. each month (on Titan this is 250pts.).

I'm also reading something about 'free $20' when you deposit (released within 48hrs.). Is this a complete freebie? not requiring any play to release it?

Do you get any tokens included with first deposit bonus? (I've also read where you can get a $10k Bonanza ticket to play in that monthly $10k freeroll (which is (was) exclusively on Titan as far as I know) and some other tickets to gtd. tourneys, etc.

Any help would be appreciated. tks.

Ok. Here we go.

1) Iron Poker IS a Titan Poker skin so they got the same tourneys as Titan plus the Canadian $200 freeroll.
2) There is a $20USD (25.90CAD) deposit bonus but you need about 1500 points to clear it.
3) You also get another bonus which is even harder to clear.
4) You "eventually" get 4 tokens for the welcome freerolls.

The points seem to be easier to get than on Titan but you need more.

If you want to withdraw you need to let at least $25.90 CAD in your account or it will be declined. (Been there)

I think Titan has better value than Iron Poker; but if you want to add another iPoker skin to your list of rooms then give it a go.

Anyone know how to get into the 1K free roll on Iron Poker??

 

[BluffMeAllIn]

You have to have downloaded and setup your account via the cardschat affiliate link, and have made at least a minimum deposit (which is like 20$ i believe).

 

[Poker Orifice]

Can someone please check what the rate of pts. are? (how many pts. do you receive for each $1 raked?)

Do they have that Monthly $10k Bonanza Freeroll?

Do you keep your account in Cdn. $'s or US $'s? (my Titan acc't. is Cdn., & WillHill is US $)

Seems the rate at which you earn pts. is $1 rake = 20pts. (same as Titan)

So the Deposit bonus is the same amount as the amount you deposit? And 1500pts. for $20? If so, does it clear in smaller chunks (ie. $5)?


There's also the 'Beginner Races' you can qualify for during the first 90days (a weekly Rake leaderboard thing).

I'm considering depositing tomorrow (Friday). Does the Canadian Freeroll still run on Sunday evenings?

tks

My account is in Cdn $.

My normal bonus cleared in $5 chunks but I did not even clear one chunk.
By the way there are 2 distinct bonuses I received. One has a time limit and the other does not appear to. I don't know how it works.

Did not know about the rake race and I don't have time to compete.

The Canadian Freeroll still runs on Sunday evenings.

If you deposit, I suggest you contact support first and have them explain the bonuses to you.

Do they have player-to-player transfers on there (I know on Titan if you wanted to transfer to another player, the person you were transferring to needed to have their account in the same currency as your own. This kept me from transferring on occassion before because other people had their accounts in US dollars).

Were you able to see how many 'pts.' were needed for each $5?

The Beginner Races are good for your first 90days on the site. You get $'s even if you only play 100 raked hands (I'm not sure what ratio of hands played are raked vs. not raked, but in micros I would assume if you're playing 25% of hands preflop (a VPIP of 25), maybe 2/3 of those see a flop?

so... maybe 1/6 ? So if you play 600 hands, maybe 100 are raked? Maybe a bit less? for the sake of estimating it, maybe 150 raked hands per 1,000 hands played.
I play ~1,200 hands/hr. on iPoker (& get ~100 pts./hr)

So if I play ~1hr./day 5days/week (5hrs. total), I will be getting $8 minimum from the 'Beginner Race' each week.
this equals ~30% additional rakeback

I see no player transfer option.

My bonus was 26.44 Euros and needed 2115.2 pts to be cleared completely. Do the math for 5 Euros chunks = 400 pts.

For the leaderboards, the hands must be played at the beginners cash tables. As I'm writing this, there are 0 players seated playing those tables. I took a look earlier today and same thing 0 players.

I don't know if the leaderboards are connected with Titan because there are players on them. If IronPoker has 0 players at the tables then there is a problem.

Maybe we could get a group of CC members there to fill tables?

I believe that ^ is incorrect.

I know in the past you could check the leaderboard results (for Beginners Race) and they had ALOT of pts. (there's no way they'd be getting that on empty tables).

My understanding is, you're only able to play on beginner's tables if you're new (for a limited time)... but for the beginner's Race you're not limited to play on the beginner tables.


Can you tell me if IronPoker is using the old version of the playtech software or has it been changed over to the new one (WillHill has now gotten rid of the old software as of today... sigh... Titan still has the old ).
I can't stand the new software... it is glitchy as h3ll (while playing... all of a sudden the site just shuts down on me, can't put notes on players deently,.. tables jump around in cash lobby so much, that its like playing darts to try to land on the one you want).

I just wrote what I read in the rules. (But sometimes the rules are badly written; you know). :deal:

IronPoker are still on the old version.

Playtech owns Titan and Iron and usually they will let other Ipoker sites "upgrade" before them. Like a beta test on other skins first.

By the way; the Canadian freeroll is losing value fast. Last night we were 50 players in it; so it already has lost half of its value compared to when I joined.

Thanks for the update! So with that freeroll having 50 in it, would be equivalent to ~$18/mth. in Tournament entry/prizepool value (if the time of the tourney is convenient ie. if you're already playing at the same time as it runs... Sunday evenings I'm ususually not playing)

The new software is painful to use. It 'appears' smoother & faster but there's ALOT of problems with it.

I tried to play on it for ~1hr. & honestly don't think I'd ever get used to it.
So its gonna have to be 'bye bye' to williamhill & will be moving over to Titan for a bit now.
