Default WSEX Rake Free Poker pays back 4.5 million so far back to players. Anyone playing?

Opinions?

I still haven't played. Mainly playing Mansion promo tournaments and haven't gotten to it.

I've been playing there. My take has been that as great as the rake is the competition pool is tougher than average.

There's also recently been some concern about buggy software.

He couldn't come out and say it, but it looks to me like he's acknowledging the blind-sit-out scammers had it going on and they've fixed it. The has got to be the online gaming story of the year. Now if only a poker room would start a rake free sports book!

Dear ,

As the General Manager of World Sports Exchange, I wanted to send a note thanking everyone for participating at the only No Rake poker room on the net. I'm pleased to say that we've put more than $4.5 million back in the pockets of our players!

We've had terrific growth as a result, but it hasn't been without its challenges. I understand some of you have experienced lags while playing, connectivity issues, or other problems. The development team is aggressively working through the bugs and I assure you every one of them will be fixed. To make sure we resolve them in a timely manner and to roll out the many new features you have requested, we've increased the size of our IT team significantly. We appreciate all of your feedback, please keep it coming.

On Monday we will be rolling out the first of a series of updates to the poker client. Most importantly, tournament fees will now be rebated, including a retroactive rebate of tournament fees charged since no-rake began. You'll also find an improved interface, easier on the eyes, as a result of customer feedback. For this update, we'll require a little down-time, 3:30 am to 6:30 am EST on Monday, July 3.

We will release a new update with our next batch of bug fixes and feature requests in the coming weeks. Not all updates will require downtime, but we will email you in advance of any planned outages.

Let me assure you that World Poker Exchange will remain rake free. This is not a short-term promotion or gimmick. I encourage you all to help get the word out that there is no better place on the Internet to play — period.

Once again, thank you for playing No Rake poker with us. Keep the comments coming; this is your poker room. Your feedback will continue to shape the no-rake poker community that's been started here at World Poker Exchange.

Sincerely,
Haden Ware
Haden Ware
General Manager
World Sports Exchange

Interesting on that flaw Bookie. Glad they are fixing it; in online games no way someone should be allowed to play without posting.
