How's the action at WPEX?
Are there enough players?
How are the tourney blind structures?
If you want to compare relative to:
LHE on Party
and Tourneys on Paradise
I guess with 100% RB, I might as well just create an account and try it. But your input might motivate my lazy ***.
Thanks,

I'm doing very well there, personally, mainly NLHE ring games.
Played one $5 tournament (and won!) -- I don't play a lot of tournaments -- I've had much better returns in cash games.
100% rakeback cannot be beaten. I don't play all that much, but $200 a week is a nice bankroll pad for a small stakes guy.

Play is tougher than the average site, but 100% rakeback is amazing!
The site's traffic is slowly increasing. Hopefully they can reach out to more casual players, because this rakeback thing is just waaaay too good.

been playing there about a week and the low-limit games seem pretty good, with 4 full ring games going fairly often, each with decent avg. pot sizes.
The games are definitely more on the aggressive side, with it usually being 3 or 4 bets preflop, but it is usually by LAG's trying to play position poker, and as such, your legit hands will get paid off. There are some Sklansky types there, but these are pretty straightforward players that are easy to play against in a full ring game

I´ve heard about the site earlier, but I am not sure why they are doing this 100% rakeback thing? Are they just trying to attract more users while they are still new? Is it just a temporary promotion or something?
Anyhow, how does this whole thing work? When do they give you the rake back?

worldpx.com - all the info u want is there
they give u rake back every monday. They do it because they're primarily a sports betting site, so this is a way to attract customers in hope that we play at their casino or do sports betting.

Along with attracting sports betting customers, many have speculated that they are collecting interest on the rake they collect each week, so perhaps they are still making a profit through the poker room.
Regardless, it has all been on the level so far

I just tried calling their customer service because I have an account there but haven't played there for a year or so. I just deposited some money but my address and email are totally wrong but they said they can't change it until 10 AM ET tomorrow. Should I just get a new account because when I first made the account I bs'ed most of my info? What do they ask for?

You'll need photo ID and a recent utility bill with your current address, minimum (in the event that you want to withdraw $$).
I'm not sure I understand what you mean re: your email and address being wrong, though....do you mean outdated?? My address was outdated because I too had been away for awhile and came back for the rakeback, but i updated it with documentation and cashed in some nice dollah just recently.
If you're any kind of decent player at all, and have any kind of bankroll at all, you should do well there, based on rakeback alone! I'm no superstar, but I've done quite well thus far (albeit only 2 months).

It probably doesn't matter, but is there any way i 'should' sign up for the site? i.e. are there any types of bonuses or other promotions going on? refer-a-friend bonuses?
i'll probably be signing up soon, so PM me if you've got any ideas.

hahaha, you are right about that.
I figured there'd be some refer-a-friend thing I could use to help someone out. I mean come on, they're already making tons of profit off the rake...they're giving back...they should share!

ok, so i just went to sign-up, and there's a space for Bonus Code. What's up with that?
Do I need a code to get 100% Rakeback? Can I give someone a refer-a-friend bonus?
Also, I've heard it doesn't (easily?) convert to Pokertracker. Advice?

The Bonus Code field is obsolete now that there is no rake. No code is needed to get the rakeback deal. There is no refer-a-friend scheme.
Because they email hand histories rather than store them on your hard drive, it is a bit more inconvenient to use PT than some other sites. However you can set up your Pokertracker to automatically request and process the hand histories from any pop email account. You'll also be forced to use GameTime+ rather than PokerAce HUD.
The play does seem to be a bit tougher than most sites, but the donks are starting to arrive.
Cheers.

finally signed up!
can someone confirm that this is the way the rakeback works?
so let's say the pot is $20, and gets raked $1. there are 10 people sitting in. each person will get $0.10 from this pot at the end of the week?
Also, how does the RB get paid? Straight to your account? Do you get a statement? What day of the week does it typically get paid? That's all the questions I have for now?

yeah, 3-table max. seems like they have most options. I use neteller, and you get only one free w/d every 10 days.

RB gets put into your account every monday I believe. They send you an email saying home much they put in and your total after weeks/months etc.
Also just click on the casier then click on the rake tab and you can see how much you have accumulated and when it goes into your account next.

i just noticed that there is that easy tab where you get most of the information, so that is pretty convenient.
i see that you have to email hands to yourself, but how are people importing those hands into PT?
