Betdaq Poker!!

BetdaqPokerMgr

Hello Boards,

My name is Ross Glacken and I am the Online Gaming Manager for Betdaq.com.

I have spoken with a Boards Mod and received approval to create this post.

I am excited tell you all that Betdaq has recently launched Betdaq Poker It is an exciting new poker room and has many great promotions to go with it - as well as a brand new sportsbetting exchange website.

I know many of you are as crazy about poker as I am so I am sure you will like some of the promotions we are running:

Our flagship promo is 'The Betdaq €100,000 Poker Bonanza'. This will be an online / offline tournament with a Guaranteed €100,000 prizepool. The final table will be played live in The Sporting Emporium, Dublin. €75,000 will be to play for on the final table and €25,000 will be distributed to the rest of the field. Everyone who plays the grand final wins real money! You can qualify via a range of ways, primarily through the weekly VIP point feeder (you earn VIP points for every hand raked). We also have daily feeders to these feeders! NB: If we register more than 200 players to the grand final we will increase the prizepoll for every additional player that enters.
We offer up to 60% cashback. I.e. money back into your account for every raked hand you play. Please see our promotions page - VIP cashback for full details.
We are running weekly VIP Sports Package giveaways. We have teamed up with a VIP ticketing agency to bring you to the front lines of the world's greatest sporting events. Even better, if you do not wish to go to such events you can redeem the voucher for entry to a poker tournament or even cash into your account. It is a winner takes all weekly €1500 package.
We run Bi-weeekly Gadget Giveaway freerolls, e.g. this week and next you can win iPod Touches, Nanos and Shuffles.
We run a weekly Betdaq Bounty tournament
We run daily cash freerolls and free bet giveaways for all users - even if you don't have a real money account.
We offer a range of 100% deposit bonuses to cater to all levels of players.

I am rambling here.....I guess there is a lot to be excited about!

There are many other great features and giveaways within the poker room and really we are here to cater to you! We are going to give what poker players want and we are excited for you to join the Betdaq Poker community and reward you for it too ;-)

I look forward to hearing any and all feedback on the new site and poker room - be it positive or negative comments ;-)

Also, if anyone would like to PM me for further details please feel free.

I wish you the best of luck at the tables! As Mike Sexton would say "May your cards be live and your pots be monsters!".

Ross Glacken.

I call support, and ive to send through my CJA stuff before I can transfer more than 500 to the poker account. Withdraw my 1k as id be on tilt by the time id get to sit at the table.. pity.

Hi Deep, yes this is the same network as Irish Eyes.

BetdaqPokerMgr

This is a temporary problem. The limit will be removed asap. It was put in place for protection during launch period.

What are all the other ways to qualify?.

BetdaqPokerMgr

There are daily satellites to the weekly feeders and also a weekly freeroll / seat giveaway for all new players each week. Also look out for our rake races and total seat giveaways during major sporting event periods, e.g. Cheltenham, 6 nations etc.

PS. Big fan of your blog sir - easily one of the most entertaining.

Hi Lucky,
Also, I cannot name names but there are 3 or 4 major gambling sites abut to launch on the network over the next couple of months.

I would be inclined to sell the increasing fish factor to players on a forum like this. No-one wants to play against Scandies all day long, with the fish from Cantor and their British pub poker and the innumerable degenerate gamblers that Pinnies and yourselves will bring the network will be more playable.

Best of luck with it, look forward to seeing what innovation you can produce. I don't well understand the google rankings but searching up "betdaq poker" doesn't bring any joy on the front page...but I recall Betdaq historically sucking in that regard. Oh and fire whoever chose purple as the table and lobby colour

Eoin - Gutshot is on Microgaming these days, it used to be on 24hNetwork a year ago but that uses Euro at the tables so it must be a Microgaming thing you experienced.

Yeah pokerscout is where I checked its traffic, it's a long way off the big boys, but I suppose it has enough players that it's not a ghost town of a network either.

I notice that pokertracker doesn't import the network HH's this is a big minus imo. how come that's the case? Do HH's get stored on user's pc Are the hand histories in an awkward format? Os is it that the PT guys have not gotten around to implementing importing for the network yet?

Anyways best of luck with the launch.

not sure if my sarcometer is working right or not today . So is the software genuinely good or was this a boardie type sarco reply

Poker Tracker does import the hands. Just go to B2B network icon.

And that wasn't a sarcastic response, I genuinely did like the software but thought it was a pity that it was always quiet when i wanted to play.

GL with this Ross. The 100k game looks good.

Hi there,

We are an integrated partner and use all of our own banking and customer service. We take our exchange rate from a live AIB feed which is 100% reliable and transparent. I can assure you there is no ripping off here.

Hi HotSpur,

Thanks for the good luck wishes. I believe the SEO for Betdaq is being looked at as we speak so we should be back to no.1 on the google ranking asap.

Sorry you don't like the purple

but on a positive note I can assure you there are plenty of fish on and coming to the network

. Over the next 3 months there will a significant jump in liquidity.

Thanks again and good luck at the tables on and offline.

Entraction is in euro, deposits, withdrawals and play.

Is it different on Betdaq, will deposits/withdrawals have to be in $ and transfered to €?

All poker play is in Euro. However if you have an Exchange account in either GBP or USD then you will need to convert to Euro to play poker. This is done within your cashier screen.

Any problems at all just let me know.

Standard proceedure across most poker rooms that are on a network - except some rooms don't request the documents until point of requesting cashout from the site!

It is also a major part of compliance with the Gambling Comission.

Point taken though and it is something I am looking into changing asap.

Thanks for the feedback.

It's a very good sign that Betdaq sent someone over to boards who actually knows what he is talking about.

Nice work.

I was thinking that.

Good to see an Irish company offering a competitive deal as well.

Hi All,

I have just spoken with our security department and asked about the deposit limits issue.

Currently we are using 192.com's professional services for verifying customers - but unfortunatley they only cover UK residents (name+address checks, ID verification etc etc).

We are reviewing all security procedures for Irish customers too and hope to have a similar solution for you asap. Until then please be assured we will do everything in our power to make sure your ID verification is as painless as possible.

On the positive note I am happy to tell you that Entraction has pretty much the lowest relative level of fraud of any poker network so you can be sure all games are being played fairly and monitored closely. I have personally spent a lot of time with the Entraction Fraud team and their level of competance and poker fraud knowledge is incredibly impressive. That combined with Betdaq procedures makes Betdaq Poker a very secure poker room.

Thanks for all the support so far. If you have any further suggestions or feedback I will be delighted to hear from you.

GL.

Ross.

Unfortunately you cannot deposit funds in Chronicle shops to a Betdaq account.

We will be distributing Betdaq Poker merchandise over the coming weeks and begin the SE visits soon after. I will make sure you receive the goodies.

In the mean time perhaps you would like to join Betdaq Poker's community, e.g. write a short article of a recent poker adventure? Perhaps you will make it onto our website and win €100 directly into your account!

I don't sell out for money man

Hello all,

I would like to run a promotion specifically for the Boards.ie poker forum(s) members as a way to encourage you to try out Betdaq Poker.

I want to offer value and fun in one package and would like to hear your thoughts as to what types of promos you would most like from us?

Obviously there is a wide range of options:
- a freeroll tournament, maybe a €2500 freeroll for the first 100 boards real money sign ups?
- special deposit / sign-up bonuses
- free sports bets
- a WSOP satellite package (one of the smaller events)?

etc etc.

As a boards and poker enthusiast what would you most like to see from us? The key is that I want to offer good value to you all.

The benefits of hosting a Boards.ie freeroll or satellite to WSOP is that you can then still avail of the first time sign-up bonuses too. But, I am sure you all have many great ideas - let's work out a good plan together!

Let me know what you think and after I have had a range of responses I will go with the general consensus and begin implementing the promo (next week).

Best Regards and best of luck to all on and off the felt,

Ross Glacken - Betdaq Online Gaming Manager.

DocO

id like rakeback
Deposit bonus
a boards free roll, were for every 50 players you add 5k euro. (atleast)

Can money be lodged through chronicles bookmakers>?

Considering the fact that travel expense is very large for a WSOP package, any event that isn't the ME isn't really worth it.

It would be far better to do a sat to an irish event, there are plenty coming up, JPs Masters, Winter Fest, waterford, kilarney etc

This way more tickets can be given out for the same outlay
