Gary Benson charging commission on Stars withdrawals.2010 09 02
12:23 pm
Just thought I'd let people know of this as I received no notification prior to this change. Copy/paste of the relevant parts of an email from InterCash:

Hi Paul

Sorry you must not of received the email about what Poker Stars have done.
I have paste it below for you.

Dear InterCash user



Below is a brief update on the InterCash buy-in and cash-out service.



PokerStars

After 4 years of PokerStars paying the commission for Australian & New
Zealand players on cash-outs through my InterCash service they have
recently advised that they will no longer do this after 31 August 2010.
The new arrangement will be as follows:



Australian and NZ players



· PokerStars will continue to pay the commission on behalf of
players on all buy-ins through the InterCash service.

· InterCash will not charge any commission on cash-outs if your
cash-out amount does not exceed the amount you have deposited through
InterCash after 31 August 2010 and your cash-out is being sent to an
Australian or NZ bank account.

· Cash-outs in excess of the amount you have deposited after 31
August 2010 will be charged a commission of 2.5% where your cash-out is
being sent to an Australian or NZ bank account.

· Where your cash-out is not being sent to an Australian or NZ
bank account a premium of 1% will apply. For USD cash a premium of 2% will
apply and a discount of .5% will apply if the funds are to be transferred
to another site.



Non-Australian/NZ players



· The general rule is that PokerStars will not permit transfers
between either my ‘InterCash’ account or ‘GaryBenson’ account and
accounts that aren’t registered in Australia or New Zealand.

· A very limited number of exceptions will be “white listed”
where the player has difficulty in funding and/or cashing-out from his
player account using alternative methods.

· Each individual case will be considered on its merits and
reasons must be supplied to support your case.

· If approved, commission will be applied as detailed above for
Australian and NZ players.

I waste far too much time reading crappy pointless NVG threads, but the occasional gem makes it almost seem worthwhile.

There have been a few of this type of thread on 2+2, thought I'd see what PNWers think.

For mine, it's viva la France! Yep, those cheese-eating surrender monkeys are the absolute worst. The French are known the world over for berets, baguettes, waving the white flag, and check-shoving the flop in a 3-bet pot with no-pair no-draw.
Clearing the 1st deposit bonus on Tilt.2010 03 16

I have an account on Tilt, with rakeback, but I have never deposited. Just after some estimates on how long it would take me to clear the bonus grinding 9-man SNGs at around $10 level. I normally play sets of 6 or 9 (depending how I'm feeling) of the non-turbo games on Stars because achieving a high ROI translates to good scores in the BOP & i've made some good money, relative to the stakes, from that bonus scheme.

I would play turbos on Tilt in sets of 9 or 10 to try and clear the bonus quickly.

Does rakeback dilute the bonus at all (or vice-versa)? How soft are the turbo 9-mans on Tilt?
