lol drugs
back to ipoker skins umm i liked betfred, and it you should like it even more because ur from the UK and they have daily freerolls for english people only. also from what i could see it usually had like 100 people participating (100 pounds prize) so it should be relatively easy to cash in those
You also get some tourney tickets if u deposit/transfer just 5 pounds (like 10 pounds worth of tickets) so its ok i suppose.
they also have some points freerolls (betfred points thingy) and those run at least 10 or so times every day. you can exchange points for .. stuff, or use it for points to $ tourneys, etc.
only played it a couple of times though as you gotta win pts freerolls first, then use those points and win another tourney to actually win some real $.
not sure about other skins, got paddy/wh betting accounts but never played there, only played on winner but didnt like it that much. so back to ftp/ps it is for me

Yes Ladbrokes was on Microgaming and now have gone shite since going over to the crappy Ipoker.
Don't waste your time on Ipoker it is rubbish and some of the stuff I have seen happen makes your blood boil.

i have to agree with you phisix...! now after they changed all buy-ins and tables from $ into € (the rake and tournament-fee was sick high befor the change...especially at the micros) the rake and tournament-fee is even higher!
and i have also read a lot of strange things about frozen accounts and withdraw problems (and not only from small skins)

I dont understand what thee hell they were thinking when they decided to make that change from US$ to Euro. Like they were secured from any other aspect, having a huge traffic, thus this wouldnt cost them much. Obviously they see more money into this change. The question is if they will get it in the long run. Now the lowest buy in is 0,04 Euro or 0,05 USD. The 0,02 cents buy in is now a History there.

Ipoker doesn't accept players from the US of A. So no point in keeping the US dollar, when the bulk of the playerbase is using the Euro as a currency, and those using the US dollar can't play anyway. And at the current exchange rates, it means 30% higher rake too.
