fast payouts are very important. Also fast support. A good design, and more advertising to get players. its not easy to raise a poker site from aches.

It's not ashes, dude. We have very fast support, solid design (have you been to our site?)  I'm trying to figure out if anyone outside the US gives a damn about playing poker in Bitcoin. So far, it doesn't look like it, and I'm pretty convinced the whole market or the vast majority, >90%, is there. Which is fine for casinos willing to take the risk, we could have whomped them in 2011 and since, but I'm not interested in going to prison and I've made my position on that crystal clear. I'm looking for feedback here from the Bitcoin poker community outside the US, if any exists which I suspect it does not. I don't care about commentary from Americans, payment gateways or people with random opinions about shit they don't know anything about.

Despite being the longest-running Bitcoin poker room and casino, and the only one with NL/PL/Limit Holdem Omaha and 7CS, we've never really developed a poker following. It's never been a core business for us. I blame this on our ban on American players. Poker players everywhere else in the world have easier deposit options than Bitcoin.

We've been running $0.50 24/7 hourly freerolls, lowered our rakes to 1% on low stakes ring games and sit & gos, and have nightly $2 freerolls. What we have is a core of players who don't really play; just a few freerollers.

So we're basically thinking about closing the poker freerolls and giving up on poker because the only other option would be to open it to Americans, and we don't want to do that. Before that, though, I thought we might make a final push to get some real players on the site. There are one or two guys who sit around all day waiting for a game and can't get one, because the freerollers just play and withdraw.

So here's my question. In your ideal, perfect poker site, what do you want in a game? 1% rake? Pot-guaranteed tournaments? Player points buyins? What would get you to come play at our site (other than, obviously, fish)? I want to put together a real night of serious poker and I want it to be whatever players want; to show off our platform and to get you to switch to us. So all Non-American players, tell me, what can I do to get you in? If you say you want a $50 guarantee on a 10 player $1 buyin, I'll consider that. If you want cash back on losses, we already have that up to 18%. Tell me what you want, and what time you want it.
