While using the excuse of trying to prevent illegal rakeback iPoker is implementing a new system starting in January. First they are going to change the terms where players must contribute to the pot to earn points that go towards VIP. This is disturbing because players work monthly to gain a higher tier after many good months, now that will be made more difficult in md stride basically changing the terms in the middle of the promotion. That is far from the worst of it.
iPoker is going to fine skins that bring in winning players. If a skin pays out more than it takes in they will have to pay a fine to iPoker. A few skins, the latest being Victor Chandler, are banning many of their winning players so they will not be fined. This is repulsive. Any poker room that bans winning players should be immediately blacklisted and so should the network that condones it. There should be no thought about this. What is their goal? There are going to be winners regardless. If you remove the top 10% they either move to other skins or they leave the network and the next 10% of players become winners.
The network is so lost they assume that if they get rid of the good players nobody will ever win and they will not ever have to pay anyone. This needs to get out and players need to let iPoker and Playtech know they will not play on a network where they will get banned for winning.
