How does iPoker network work?

That's a really good point. Before JoeNote hopefully answers to this I would assume that the skins will refresh (lower) the VIP programs (50% at betfair for example will be history) and skip/lower flat rb deals also.
And I cannot imagine that they make different programs for each group of players.
Maybe big net depositors will get bonuses like deposit freerolls or something. But they definetly will not make a VIP program for slightly loosing ar margely winning or well winning players. That would be far too complicated and could change every month (depending on a players run good /run bad luck in a month)

add:

see

this is/was the biggest winner at NL100 on ipoker all-time. Down 200 buy-ins now since July 2013. So I would assume at least at NL100 and below the by far biggest group of the non-recs are the loosing players before rb. I've seen many of those graphics from NL100 regs.

Does iPoker distribute the money between skins for tournament prizes?

I mean if I win a tourney on NetBet then is it all NetBet's burden to pay me or is the prizepool shared amongs all skins?

In a way Titan could have more players buyin through them then Netbet. However if the big winner is on NetBet then NetBet will lose some money.

Anyway I'd like to know how it works.

Hey canniballsy,

That's pretty much how it works. If you log in through Betfair, you could be playing against players from about 30 other different skins.

For instance if i joined your table, I could be joining through Titan, NetBet or Winner.

Actually, iPoker split into two tiers like a year or 2 years ago.
The reason was because some sites had a lot of depositing players and some didn't.
So now there is iPoker 1 and iPoker 2, they only share speed tables.

It seems like the split is going to end soon when the new source based rake program kicks in.

your playing against all of them

They allready assigned the RNG to suit losing depositing players , why not the rake...
