Regarding the issue of potential botter(s) I'll get to the rest of your post tomorrow because I've got to wake up early in the morning. Take care!

One month later, any more thoughts you want to add on the subject ?
Did you even tackle the subject with Betcoin mgmt ?

Also many people have inquired about Table Starter Rakeback. The answer is that it is NOT going away. It's simply being reconstructed and Betcoin will continue to be the best poker environment in all of online poker!

That's not at all what Andrew said on the subject.

There is not a time table for the return of the table starter rakeback at this time, however when it does it will be during certain hours and for certain VIP levels as a bonus. We will keep you updated. Ring game traffic has been great and we are very thankful to our great players for that. Good luck everyone!

They have no plan to bring it back. And even if some day they do, that would only be limited in time and only some players could benefit from it.

Time to change your OP title, you no longer can offer up to 133%RB to your players.

For the players who are ready to play HU and create action, they are just left with having to pay a ridic rake (2x CAP compares to industry std, for those who plays high enough that means up to a 2x rake - even your RB + VIP do not make it up for it) and anyway most of the time nobody wants to play you.

When you finally manage to create action on a table, a BOT might join. If like me you refuse to play it, well then you would need to wait again that someones wants to start a new table with you.

In a nutshell, you spend your time waiting without playing.

But I guess Betcoin is ok with the situation, they don't have to pay for TSR anymore and since they don't intend to do anything against the BOTs they still have them to fill the tables - without them asking for anything - during CET time which is the deadtime for US players.

I thought it was more likely to be sheer incompetence, at this point I'm starting to think it is at least a guilty silence.
