It is an interesting idea and it might work.
However, PokerStars and FullTilt poker are big poker sites in part by the advertisement, but also because they offer a good service. I have played in many poker sites, and considering the traffic, software, support and speed of cashouts those two are the best in my opinion.
Moreover, I think your idea is similar to what bankrollmob does.
Anyway, If a nice number of BRM users want to try I'm on board

i think we should all unite and open a new poker site: MelonsPoker...i imagine that it would change the online poker industry forever and ever...and ever...and ever...unique features such as: - "Topless Poker Tour" (topless dealers and models in da tour)...(.) (.) - "Shave Da Balls" sng's - winner gets a free "balls shaving and glazing" procedures at prestigious spa's all around the world... - Special "No Russians" tables (hahahahha i'm a great diplomat)

This is a great idea!
We should choose one small poker site after voting probably. And then we should choose one BRM member who will represent the whole BRM community who will negotiate with their support agents about the conditions.
For example that BRM member have to negotiate what amount of NO deposit bonuses will be given if 3000 (or may be more BRM members) join their poker site with opening accounts.
This is called Marketing, so may be it will work We have to open another thread, choosing the site after voting. When this is done, we should open another thread for a BRM member to represent our community after voting. After choosing the BRM member, then he will be responsible of the email correspondence between him and the poker site for the ND bonuses and how many of us will join that poker site.
That small poker site will be happy, becuse they will have a lot of players. Bounty Poker for example, there aren't players at all.
How do you find it? Is this possible This is just an idea!

more to come once we launch
I pretty much agree,...and find humourous the premise of this thread,...but I do TOO like pochui's business savvy.... "balls shaving and glazing"....???
If you can somehow adapt that for a poker table-side procedure for say $10,.....you'd have a winner...! You could hire hundreds of 'ball shavers'...for your casino service network...

I started off with a view of this thread in definitely agreeing that this was a crazy idea........ Then I read the post from Pochui and think that you guys may have something he....but it would need to be special to mobsters.....like loads a melons.
I think you'r idea might work but it's gonna take a lot of work and promotion. First you need to build an army of bankroll hungry followers and then try to actually approach a poker client and make a good offer. If they profit of it, then it will definitely interest them.
I hope you can realize it, you got atleast one man behind you now! Good luck

This is really a good idea! Some sites like yachting poker have a nice Software and good promos, but not enough traffic loke the big Networks. I can´t understand it, we have enough big Networks and the Little rooms have no Chance longterm.

Well it was just an idea, but to be honest I do not have the time to set such thing up. I was actually thinking what small sites would offer if let s say 50 people would open an account and deposit 50 $ --> could we get good rakebackdeal, deposit bonus, extra tourney tickets ,....
Any extra s are welcome... and how bigger the group ... the more traffic on the site ... and almost No Russians
The intention is not to go against BRM, but as a subgroup getting a good deal...

Hmm what you are talking about is making some deals with poker sites outside of the circuit. Pokerstars and full tilt won't do it, they have enough money coming in legally and they have a brand to up held.
Years ago there was those deals, ipoker sites mainly where you could get rakeback deals up to 75 % or more. These are illegal now as stated by ipoker network that if such deals are found, they may close down the site.
Anyway you might still found those deals around, but it is illegal and the site probably is unknown or small and you risk of not being able to cash out or lose the money. Not worth it.

There are still such deals in ipoker sites, If you look closely you can find some. They have renamed them though as "reward systems" or with other terms, in order to avoid ipoker's policy with rakeback system.
