Betfair WSOPE Scandal
Posted on September 8, 2009 by Harry G.
Rakerider.com and our sister site bonusriders.com have delivered an official protest to Betfair. The reason is the way Betfair Poker decided to handle the Super Satellite to WSOPE on September 6.
1 out of 3 were promised seats
Approximately 1/3 of the playing field was granted free buy ins to this satellite in the dying minutes of the registration period through a Danish internet forum.
Rakerider.com and Bonusriders.com find this behavior against good industry practice as it was played out.
Betfair Poker are of course allowed to do what they want with their money, poker tournaments and poker room however the integrity between loyal real money players and Betfair poker has in our opinion been violated in a degree where Betfair Poker need to step up and comment the situation.
We want to emphasize very loud and clear that we believe this is a major blunder from Betfair Poker end and that we have the highest hope they make things right for players. We also want to emphasize laud and clear that we have the highest respect for the betting exchange and the ethics’ provided by them and that the exchange has not part whatsoever in this situation.
Betfair Poker excluded
For the time being players are unable to receive Betfair Poker rakeback through Rakerider.com
