General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

Hi All, So here my current situation. After having our local site Piggs Peak shut down im lost as to where to go next. Can someone please recommend one of the DC sites worth a look at. Obviously looking for a decent rakeback deal, soft players in the micro level 6m NLH and micro tournies and decent software. Have got a Stars account but no rakeback

Have you tried Carbon yet? Or Fortune, or Titan? I played all of those from within South Africa - I think I had decent rakeback on Fortune. Got 35% on Carbon - but don't know what Titan offers at the moment.

What's happening with Silver Sands?

What's happening with Silver Sands?

Hmmm sands is the crappiest site ever played on, doesnt support HEM, Cant size tables properly and the rakeback works on a slidescale method which is not the greatest.

Those are all pretty solid reasons. Any reason you're not focusing on Poker Stars, which in my experience works just fine in SA?

Dont have any Rakeback on Stars, Iv got an account with them but wanna start focusing on my cash games so rake is NB. Am I wrong in assuming Stars only offers their VIP points and no actuall Rakeback?

I think that's about right - but someone else can point out if that's wrong, please.

I also think you need to put in massive volume to see RB returns on Stars, but hey, I've never reached anything of significance on there.
