What you think about NetBet Poker? Have you ever played?

[SrMartis]

Hello guys!

Have you ever played ipoker NetBet Poker room?

If you play or played, what do you think about it?

What I see there the number of players range from 2500 and 8800 max players.

The normal table configuration for NL4 6max is 4-5 with 1 or 2 fish in some table but most of them are reg playing, most of them multitabling.

I've never played other poker rooms I would like you to share your thoughts about the ones you play field rakeback etc...

Maybe I should try another one, witch one do you suggest, why?

Thanks!

NetBet is on the 'iPoker Network'. I haven't played NetBet but I have played on many sites that are or were a part of that network (same player pool), ie. TitanPoker, Poker770, williamhill, PaddyPoker, and the list goes on
These days the site/network is pretty quiet. Not getting where you ever see 8,800 players on there. When I try to play some SPEED cash tables, there's maybe 20-25 players during the busy period, and 5 of them are probably 3-tabling them. I've considered playing some MTT's on there but haven't in close to 1 year.
There's some D0N SnG's but they honestly seem rampant with BOTS & the rake/tourney fee is BIG. They're still pretty soft though as the few players who do play them are just terrible players.
Rakeback used to be ~20% Not sure what it is now.

These days I use the site(s) mostly for Sports Betting.

In the sunday afternoon the site reach it's peak with 8800 players, In the week the mean is 2500 - 4500, most of them playing MTTs.

Few players at NL5, around 7-10 tables, we find the same guys most of the time. In the NL20 we found more 30 - 40 tables.

There the rake back system based on points. Base points: 1 £ = 20 points.

For 10£ in rakeback you need 9980 points. Another option, is to get 10£ as reload bonus.

With this one you need to spent 5988 points to get the bonus and earn more 1000 points to release it.

Then there's 5 levels of rakeback:

Level 1 Bronze no benefits (this one doesn't count as you need only 20 points to get the next one).
Level 2 Silver: 25% boost in points and 6 All-in shoot out tournaments where you can earn 5£ twister ticket.

Base points Silver Level = 1£ = 20 points * 1,25 = 25 points, reload bonus 6988/25 = £279.52 so 10£ / £279.52 = 3.5%

Level 3 Gold: 75% boost in points and 14 All-in shoot out tournaments.

Base points of Gold Level = 20 * 1.75 = 35 points. With the reload bonus 6988/35 = £199.65 so 10£ / £199.65 = 5%

Level 4 Platinum: 200% boost in points, unlimited freerols

Base points of Platinum level = 20 * 2 = 40, Reload bonus 6988/40 =£174.7, 10£/174.7 = 5.7%

Level 5 Diamond: 350% boost in points, unlimited freerols

Base points of Diamond level = 20 * 3.5 = 70, Reload bonus 6988/70 =£99.82 then 10£/£99.82 = 10%

What is the mean value rakeback other sites are paying?

In the NL20 we found more 30 - 40 tables

30-40 tables of NL20 running with this traffic? I think this is a rumor.

I poker ?? At least for frerollers or nano/micro stakes sng and tourney players this is not a good site imo . I see no traffic , no big tourneys , no big prizes . But the same or worse bad beats and bad RNG . So yeah . Better stick with a big poker room like pokerstars and leave the very small ones if you are a very low stakes players . In my opinion .

I have never played and I cannot give my opinion about this poker site.

iPoker was infamous for more or less allowing bots when bots were very easy to recognize.

ipoker isn't really a good netweork for beginners, and for professionals there is not many high value tourneys. Plenty of cash HU SNGs and cash games...

I am a big fan of the iPoker network, there are at least 10 skins that I am aware of.
I do have the highest VIP level at Guts without an expiration date, which makes it my favourite room of course.

Plenty of tournaments , I rarely play cash games. Not that many fish anymore, you'll meet good above average players, so you need to run good to make some money.
