Im curious to know if the current bankroll's acceptance list of countries will change, im currently doing some networking to bring some Australian poker players/online gambling accross to BRM but due to the fact that most of your free bankrolls do not accept OZ players they are a little hesitant. So....

Hey Marco, I personally don´t think the list will change any time soon, or at all as a matter of fact. It seems that they have their mind made up about it. All we can do for now is try to indicated as many people as we can, preferably from the countries that award the most points.
Of course it can change, but Admin I think would be a better person to answer that question... although he´s constantly reminding us that there´s nothing brm can do about this list.

Well from what i have seen on the list, OZ awards the equal highest points to any other country, which surprises me considering most of the bankrolls do not accept OZ players . But theres no harm in asking and hoping

That's right
The pokersites knows how the world is when it comes to playing poker, they have years of stats to support their decisions, and if they believe they get $60 back when giving $50 to a german player but only $45 when giving $50 to an australian player (on average), then they pick the german players of course. (Just a REALLY SIMPLE example , but you get the idea).

Taking on board what you are saying Admin re, poker sites know their stats. Then my question is, how come some sites accept certain countries whereas others don't. Take for example my situation, from New Zealand, i can get a no deposit bonus for , CD Poker Full Tilt Absolute Poker Party Poker Ultimate P. Titan Poker To name but a few. yet 888 won't accept New Zealand players. Do they have different stats than anyone else. I'm not concerned as i'm in the fortunate position that i don't need free bankrolls (although any freebies are always gratefully received..!!) But i am intrigued.

Rushinrogan, I don't know exactly why, but my guess is that it might be become some sites are either better known in some countries (branding) or they WANT to be better known. Could also have something to do with competition in certain areas etc.

There is posted that it may change every now and then, and im sure the admin would let you know when it's ready.For now, it seems it will not change for a while since a complete law change is needed or something similar to recieve it in some countries.
. But theres no harm in asking and hoping
