@mariomosboeck When spin and go? All sites have it except CP. Good RB (otherwise are not beatable) + leaderboard and that is. Sure a guy prefers to play a spin after busts MTT before AllInorFold table...

Hey guys, its Danie...ahh Mario Mosböck here 😄
CoinPoker increased rake caps to more competitive levels and shared detailed context around their decision-making in the post below.
I’m very aware this is an extremely sensitive topic, and honestly not something you’re going to “win” an argument about on Twitter. But I care deeply about this community and almost all of my friends are poker players, so here we go 😆
Let’s get one obvious point out of the way first. Charging zero rake would clearly be better for players in theory. But that simply isn’t a realistic option given the costs of running a poker platform.
That said, the idea that the best model for an online poker site is simply having the lowest possible gross rake has unfortunately proven outdated. We’ve already seen how this played out with Run It Once Poker. It was a platform the entire poker community supported and loved, yet it ultimately shut down because the games never had enough recreational traffic.
At the same time, club-based apps, private games, and GG have taken over large parts of the global market. People might criticize GG, but we all share one reality. We all play there.
And that mainly comes down to two things:
1. Their product is excellent
2. They have enough liquidity to keep games running consistently
The first point is crucial. The second is essential. If recreational players aren’t playing on your platform, the games simply won’t survive. That’s the reality.
To build a strong product, you also need to invest heavily into rewards and promotions for players across the ecosystem, both regulars and recreational players. Over the past few years, the model that has proven most effective is higher gross rake combined with strong rewards and redistribution.
At the end of the day, what really matters to all of us as players is the effective net rake we actually pay. If a platform cannot compete with the broader market, or even with smaller app-based games, it simply won’t survive. I’m not expecting everyone to think about or even care about the bigger picture, but that’s the environment these sites operate in.
Every club app and private game already works like this. Players pay rake and then receive a significant portion back through deals, rakeback, and rewards. Those models keep games running by providing liquidity, which is ultimately the core thing that matters. To compete in that environment, you need comparable rewards alongside a better product.
Ultimately, we all want the same thing: a poker site that listens to players and genuinely cares about the health of the ecosystem.
In my view, CoinPoker is currently the best overall chance we have at that. Their commitment to building a site for players and aiming to run at the lowest rake possible is huge for the poker community. We simply haven’t had that for years.
Their team is outstanding, the software is very strong, and they consistently listen to community feedback while trying to build a long-term future for online poker. Otherwise I wouldn’t work with them. And neither would Pads, who got involved long before most people had even heard of CoinPoker.
Props also to ACR and @WPN_CEO , who are clearly trying to push things forward as well, while GG shows to not care much about the community. That’s just the reality of the current landscape.
What I see from the CoinPoker team is a genuine effort to build a transparent poker site that actually cares about players.
And in the middle of all this discussion, the numbers speak for themselves. More players than ever are currently playing on CoinPoker. The player base multiplied over the last 24 hours, with peaks around 3,700 concurrent cash game players and 600+ tables running.
The software itself is excellent. On desktop it’s already among the best experiences out there, and on mobile it’s hands down the best poker experience currently on the market.
I’m always happy to be involved in discussions around this. My sole goal is to help CoinPoker grow into the biggest poker site in the world.
If you have frustrations or criticism, please tag me and bring me into the conversation. I’m happy to be the main punching bag and will laugh with you when you are a funny troller.
Just please leave the other ambassadors out of it & pick on me. They’re simply doing their best job and are involved with CoinPoker because they genuinely believe in the product and want to see online poker succeed.
Anyway, back to the Twitter trenches...🫡

Dear Community, Thank you again for your feedback over the past 24 hours. We truely hear you. Yesterday, we introduced new rake caps on the new client. We anticipated that adjusting rake at launch would create negative sentiment. However, we made the deliberate decision to implement the change on day one rather than later in the month, as we believe transparency from the start is the right approach. What is on us is that we did not provide enough context around the reasoning and the bigger picture. We would like to clarify that now: • CoinPoker has always been, and will remain, a player-first poker site. This is one of our core company principles & we hope we're able to demonstrate that with our historic actions. • In the coming weeks, we will announce our new rewards model, designed to return a large amount of generated rake back to players while implementing a fair and competitive low effective rake structure. • Our goal is to always aim to have the lowest effective rake in the market. We believe that the poker dream has to stay alive and games always need to be winnable long term. We will hold ourselves to these standards. Our clear objective is to provide the best overall product experience, uphold the highest possible security standards, and remain player-first by maintaining the most competitive effective rake possible. We fully understand that one of the biggest concerns in any poker community is the feeling that operators do not listen. Decisions in this area directly impact players’ livelihoods, and for many of you this is personal. We are very aware of that responsibility and do not take it lightly. The line of communication between players and the site will always remain a top priority. Maintaining that trust matters deeply to us. We would also like to emphasize accountability. We work closely with our partners and ambassadors and highly value their input and experience. Many of them have shared similar feedback internally. Ultimately, however, all final decisions are made by CoinPoker. If we misstep, that responsibility sits entirely with us, not with any of our ambassadors. We share a common belief with our partners in building the most trusted poker site in the industry, but technical and operational decisions remain solely our responsibility. Please hold CoinPoker directly accountable for them. We sincerely appreciate all of your feedback and the intensity of the discussion. These feedback loops are incredibly valuable in helping us refine decisions and stay closely aligned with community sentiment. That alignment is of utmost importance to us. Thank you again for your trust and continued support. The CoinPoker Team.

Life is poker, not chess
Four years ago I walked away from a guaranteed promotion at McKinsey and a $300K PE offer to work in gaming for a third of the salary.
Many thought I was insane. They were playing chess: calculating the optimal move with perfect information.

ESTAS REFLEXIONES son para GRABAR:
“Si quieres, puedes…NO, no es así”
“Eso es un autoengaño. No sirve para dar mensajes positivos”
“El hacer las cosas bien, nos puede acercar al éxito…hacerlas mal, nos garantiza el fracaso”
