More Paradise FPP's tournaments coming

Just in case you have Paradise FPP's hanging around, there should be more tournaments added. Not sure if my e-mail to them had anything to do with it, but here's part their response to me.

"We appreciate your comments in regard to the timing of our mid-week FPP All-in Tournaments. We are due to launch some more All-In FPP Tournaments from Monday 21st April. They will generally be at 9:30prm EST and offer much the same prizes as are available in the earlier tournaments. The big plus is that as these tournaments will have smaller numbers participating, offering you much more value for your FPP’s."

Still not happy about not being able to use them in their new store, but hopefully I'll be able to play in some of the mid-week tournaments now.

Paradise FPP’s

I received an e-mail from them yesteray basically saying to use your FPP’s up in some FFP tournament series or lose your pts., as they are resetting our points to zero on June 1. Unfortunately the once a day tournament(s) (weekday one’s) are all being played during the day, when most of us in North America are working.

After promising a store for the past year, apparently they are planning to open it up on June 1. But the nice people that they are, we won’t be able to use our current FPP’s in the new store. So all those FPP’s I’ve accumulated over the past year (+) are basically worthless.

Help with Rakeback

After completing many (15) promo’s through PSO, I’ve finally come to the conclusion that rakeback should be a big part of one’s strategy if you are going to keep playing long term at a site. I’ve been doing some reading online trying to decide what site(s)/networks I want to keep playing at and what rakeback provider I want to go with. PSO is kind of out of the question as I’ve done promo’s at most of the sites they offer. I have my Crypto sites with raketherake, and I am very happy with them.
I guess I’m looking for reputable rakeback site(s). The only real difference I see between the providers, is the EXTRAS they give back to their customers in way of special promotions (Freerolls, etc).

I would like to have about 3 or 4 rakeback deals going, so I have some options as to where I want to play and to maximize Bonus(s) + Rakeback.


Here’s what I’ve come up with so far.
Sites/networks

Crypto – already have William Hill & Interpoker. (RaketheRake)

Boss - all Boss sites are at 30% rakeback, however the bonus clears at different rates via which rakeback provider you go with. ie. RaketheRake - Poker Heaven clears at €10/€75 rake but they also give you a free gift, in my case a portable DVD player based on what I think I would rake over allotted period of time. Raketracker clears Poker Heaven at €10/ €50 rake with no other freebee.

Cake network – I kind of screwed myself with this one as I have a regular Cake account and was planning on doing RedStar as rakeback; but RedStar is not accepting CDN/US players under rakeback anymore.

Are there any other sites/networks you would suggest getting rakeback at?
