I have a customer service ticket yet to be processed after 1 day 14 hours...

https://cyberdeckpoker.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/81

Hi Beefheart
I've replied to your ticket, sorry for the delayed response.

~Sandy

thanks :)

Hello,

Is there any Identification or address verification required to withdraw? And do you currently have or plan on implementing some kind of rakeback program? I didn't see any of these addressed on your website and I was just curious.

Good Luck! It's always good for players to have multiple options to try and see which sites are best for their needs.

*Edit: I just found your FAQs which say no verification or requirements are required for cashout.  :) I am still curious if any rakeback is planned.

Hi Junko,

I'm glad to hear that you've found the answer to your first question in our knowledge base.

To answer your question about rake-back, yes we'll be offering promotions to raking players. Our business model is not build around catering to recreational and non-depositing players which has become fashion in the industry over the last couple of years. Cyberdeck is a "poker room" for "poker players" and we'll always reward our raking players more than non-raking players, it's the nature of pure poker.

Our welcome bonus up to 1 BTC (on the first 3 deposits) equals a cash-back of 25% and we're offering "cash point frenzy" tournaments since last week for our raking players with chips added to the pool. Over the next weeks we'll be also introducing a CDP redemption program through which players will be able to redeem accumulated CGPs for mBTC.


Agreed and thank you!

~Sandy

signed up and ready to try it out! also made a small deposit which went smooth as well

You'll find the most action at the tables during the weekend and it's still a little time dependant but had good action last Sunday and managed to 3-table the micro ring tables for a short while too. Are you a tournament or cash game player?

mainly ring game. I'll be checking it out this weekend. I do like the software a bit. I see potential if they can market well. Of course you need traffic, but the tourney schedule is very solid. If they had any table starter incentive it would help as well

For those who would like to try out our software,

the next Bankroll Builders freeroll is starting in approx 45 minutes and repats again at 22:00 and 02:00 and 14:00 UTC. The Saturday 500 GTD is scheduled for 22:30 UTC with Satellites running now. The 5 CGP (cash game point) CashPoint Frenzy freeroll, with 10 chips added, will run at 20:00 UTC. See you at the tables!

~Sandy

what is the rake structure on the ring games?

I was try to open the link http://www.cyberdeckpoker.com/html5/ (http://www.cyberdeckpoker.com/html5/) but that didn't load. I am using Safari on IPhone with newest OS so that doesn't work like expected.

Will check this out,like what I have read about and hope the site does reflect this.
After a week I will come back and state my experience as a whole for others that may be interested in getting away from what has been fed to us on these other sites.

it's always nice to have good poker rooms around , good luck with your biz
but I will not try your site till you have the rakeback program available , cause I only withdraw the rakeback and let the roll go bigger
hopefully this site will be good in the industry

any word on this? if/when rakeback will be available? thoughts on some sort of "table starter" rakeback?

Played one of the bankroll builders on the html format and it was very basic,no issues with that but I hard trouble finding what the payouts where in this format.
Thats really the only issue I had,like being able to hit raise and punch in a number as well. Almost like a protection from clicking allin.
Once I win I will test withdrawl or the cash tables,which ever I have time for at the time.

The rake structure for ring games and tournaments can be found in our knowledge base at: https://cyberdeckpoker.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/14000006778-how-much-rake-do-you-collect-from-the-tables-


Could you be so kind to open a ticket in this matter with details about the issue you've encountered? Did the app not load at all or did you receive a specific error message? The HTML5 client was updated and tested last week and we didn't notice any issues with it.


I'm looking forward to welcome you at our tables.


We're already offering a fixed rake-back to prop players. Please contact us via the helpdesk in case you're interested to join the prop team. As previously mentioned our deposit bonus (on your first 3 deposits within 720 days) equals 25% cash-back. The Jackpot tables will go live very soon as well and CDP point redemption for cash-back rewards is currently in the dev queue on the network side.

On a side-note,we do not suggest for players to keep their bankroll on the site. Thanks to bitcoin this is not necessary.

Best practice (in our opinion) is to deposit, play and withdraw. This reduces risks for us, the network and the players but it also eliminates the requirement to confine in us or the network with your funds. Therefore we suggest for players to manage their bankroll in an address dedicated to CDP (or gaming) in their own wallet. However, how you manage your bankroll is of course entirely up to you.

"Be your own bank"


Thanks for the feedback. The HTML5 app is still a beta application and it's missing some options which are currently only available in the desktop client. This includes the tournament info / detail. I've created a task with our development team in this matter.

As for entering a manual bet amount vs using the bet slider, this is already possible. Just click into the text field and your phones / tablet keyboard will come up to enter any amount. According to our issue tracker "fast action buttons" to bet 1/4, 1/2, pot, all-in are in the development queue and they will be rolled out with one of the next updates of the HTML5 app.

----

Side note, please note that our MTT schedule automatically resets every Monday for reconciliation with the network before the new schedule for the week is re-calculated and pushed live. The reason for this is that all tournaments with guarantees are covered by us while the network acts as escrow to ensure that all GTDs are actually met and not drawn from player funds.

~Sandy

I will try this when there are more seated player  ::)

 xxxDD, there is some players online right now playing micro ring games.

The tournament schedule has been updated as well. Satellites for the Saturday 500 GTD are running every 6 hours and the next Bankroll Builders freeroll is starting at 14:00 UTC. Registration for our tournaments opens 3 hours before they run.

See you at the tables.

~Sandy

The latest edition of the Cyberdeck newsletter is out and can be viewed online here (http://zc1.campaign-view.com/ua/SharedView?od=11287eca6a6963&cno=11a2b0b1cc57e0b&cd=129178e8936d2b2c).

~Sandy

Very interesting and fun. Bitcoin gambling new gambling site arrival and gives some interesting features, and also provides some event that is quite challenging, interesting, fun and also with considerable gifts. I hope you can provide a highly professional service at all times and provide updated news about your site in forums or in your own site.

What is the minimum players required for the Bankroll Builders to run? I was sitting in the first game this morning - there were four of us total - and the game was cancelled.

Tried on my work computer and its a bit out of date but I ran into a "connection lost" during login on the three times I tried.
Is this common,just want to know if I should keep trying or just stick to my home computer.

Hi Evildrum

This must be an issue on your end. All game servers are reporting good health and there is players online as we speak.

https://i.imgur.com/cqPCxDP.jpg

If your problem persists please contact us by opening a ticket via the helpdesk. One of our tech support agents will be happy to trace down the cause of your issue wit you.

~Sandy

just made small test withdrawal, and it hit my wallet within 5 minutes... nice job!

Hi all

The tournament schedule has been updated.

* The 5 chip Bankroll Builders freeroll continues to run 4x per day.
* The CashPoint Frenzy with 10 chips added will run Friday through Sunday with a buy-in of 10 CGP.
* 5 chip satellites to the 500 guaranteed on Saturday are running now and repeat every 6 hours.

See you at the tables and happy weekend!

~Sandy

Can you post the bankroll builder start times related to forum time?
Never know when these are on and caught one by accident.

Hi Evildrum

I'm not sure what the forum time is. Seems to display my local time to me.

At Cyberdeck all times are UTC and the freerolls run at 14:00, 18:00, 22:00 and 02:00 UTC. May I suggest to log on to the client to double check on the times? The software will display all tournaments in your local time to you.

The next Bankroll Builder freeroll will run in 2 hours and 30 minutes (at time of posting).

~Sandy

Hi all

The tournament schedule has been updated. Log-on now at www.cyberdeckpoker.com to check it out. All previous promotions will continue to run through May and we will be adding some new ones in the coming week.

See you at the tables.

~Sandy

Oh good so bankroll builders are still running,logged in a few times and did not see them listed.
Once I get up to a decent amount I will start playing cash on your platform.

Hi Evildrum

You might have logged on earlier this week. There was a slight delay in this weeks reconciliation with the network which resulted in the updated MTT schedule going live later than usual (Thursday). We've also removed the freeroll running at 14:00 UTC due to a lag of players at that time.

Action at the ring tables has picked up over the last week as well with peak times being Midnight - 05:00 am UTC.

Reminder, the 500 GTD has been moved from Saturday to Sunday with 5 and 10 chip Satellites running every 6 hours.

~Sandy

Finally played some cash with the freerolls and enjoyed the action at the tables.
The freerolls I am still missing because you do not post them in the lobby so I can establish when to play.
Like just now I logged in and the one I was catching is no longer in the lobby,seems the majority of these are running well I sleep.
Will look to you guys I guess for late evening action,have noticed my mornings the play is dead but the evenings pick up.

Can I suggest the following time slots:

10 pm UTC
12 pm UTC
2 am UTC

If you run those times consistently you will start to draw more action at those times. Think cancelling tournies just causes people to move on to other sites.

It looks unreal cool. I'm going to try now

Hi Evildrum

Glad to hear that you're enjoying the games at Cyberdeck. The Bankroll Builders runs at 18:00, 22:00 and 02:00 UTC. The one at 14:00 UTC was removed last week since there wasn't enough players in the afternoons to sustain it. In exchange the CashPoint Frenzy tournaments have been updated.

Please note that the tournament schedule does still reset every Monday for weekly reconciliation with the network on the guarantees, overlays and co. We're in the progress of automating this process which means that very soon the schedule wont reset but run all week consistently.


See you at the tables. ;)

~Sandy

Sandy, I sent you PM about any news about the rake back. Please respond when you get a chance.

Hi Beefheart
I'll respond to your ticket tomorrow.

The reconciliation with the network was delayed last week due to holidays. We'll run the rake reports on RB player on Monday and then credit those accounts.

All, check out the new tournaments page on our website. We've added a feed displaying all upcoming tournaments and their details at http://www.cyberdeckpoker.com/tournaments/.

Happy Sunday!

~Sandy

Something I noticed with other sites that struggled to get people is cancelling freerolls due to lack of people made the person think the site would never run and they never came back. If you look at the now defunct Luckflop.eu,they where always 2 players off running and people got tired of showing up day after day in hopes it would run.
Maybe lower the payout in those cases and run them anyways as it does not take long for word of mouth to catch players interest in the site.

The one aspect you seem to have going is busy at hours where others are lagging,if that continues it should be good for the site.

Just ran into a problem.
I got to the river and pushed the dial to allin and it left about .00001 behind in a .01ish pot and I got folded when I was raised that small amount. Was facing lag each street and noticed others having that issue. So now instead of winning with my nut hand I busted.
So I think for that reason I will no longer being playing on your site. Lag is to big a issue.

Edit:

 Meant to say on my mobile as the lag is less on my desktop but that is really not cool to lose due to lag and be angled due to that aspect. So I was pissed when I wrote this.

Hi Evildrum,

As previously mentioned in this thread, our business model doesn't cater to non-depositing / non-raking players. Over the last weeks we've monitored the games on Cyberdeck and we noticed that the majority of the players who are registering for the freeroll do not participate in any other games. This includes ring games and tournaments with an entry fee of 1-5 chips. Non-raking players don't contribute to the networks eco-system, in fact, they drain the eco-system which contradicts with building a healthy network. For this reason we will continue to raise the minimum number of players required by 1 each week and if this results in "some" of our freerolls not running (at specific times) then that's fine.

For example, we also run the CashPoint Frenzy tournaments on the weekends with a buy-in of just 5 CGP with 10 chips added. In order to accumulate 6 CGP a player only needs to contribute 1 mBTC in rake. Despite this very low requirement only a few players actually register for those tournaments, our ring game players. Thus you see that our freerollers don't even try to take advantage of this promotion despite the payout of the CashPoint Frenzy tournaments being twice the payout of the BankRoll Builders.

Cyberdeck's goal is to build a healty and sustainable eco-system on the network which wouldn't be possible by just giving free money to non-depositing players. The poker industry is a "give-to-receive industry" and our promotions will always focus on rewarding raking players over non-raking players.

Over the next two weeks you'll notice a change to our promotions which will benefit players contributing to the health and growth of Cyberdeck and the network. I'll post an additional update on this once the promotions have been approved and are live.


I'm sorry to hear that you've run into this problem. We haven't noticed any major lag across the games. However, it's of course possible that this happens not just on Cyberdeck. May I suggest to close down Skype and other applications while playing? This should reduce any packet-loss you might encounter.

~Sandy

Actually think the issue might be due to where you are located, sometimes I found in the past with UK sites that there was lag as well.
Its a issue on multiple platforms as well. Each player can take 10 seconds plus to make a turn.
Lot of players time out, might be a good idea to get some player feedback in a site survey if this is new to you.

I'll inform the tech team on this matter.
Like previously mentioned we're monitoring most games and we haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

~Sandy

Odd I thought I posted here earlier today.

I was using the html version and will download the client on Friday and test it out.

Noticed the freerolls are gone, if you add those in next week I will help get some tables going since I have next week off. Just need a freeroll or two to get a roll going.

Thanks for the info. We'll test the html5 client this weekend. In the meantime please do use the desktop application. You shouldn't encounter any lag or other issues with it. The html5 client is still beta and it will be replaced with an entirely new application by the end of the summer. In the meantime we'll do our best to maintain the html5 client.


The freeroll tournaments run Thursday through Sunday. Our guarantees schedule is reset every Monday for reconciliation with the network. Unfortunately the reconciliation was delayed this week which means that this weeks schedule will go up over the next few hours.

There will be a change to the Bankroll Builders which will be reflected on the promos page of our website later today. After talking to the team it has been decided that we'll be running the BB nightly (instead of 3x per day) and in exchange we'll be extending the number of CashPoint Frenzy tournaments with buy-in's ranking from 1-10 CGP and chips added to the pool based on the CGP's required to buy-in.

In addition we'll be announcing the details of the rake-back program this weekend.

Regards,
~Sandy

so I'd like to say, I think this room has a lot going for them, but I'd like to make some suggestions...

- the software is pretty solid! (post some screenshots so folks can take a look!)... also a lot of players miss the old SWC and playing on their mobile... you guys have it some promote it!

- ring games: your competitors have incentive to start tables at their rooms ("table starter rakeback")
... you guys have nothing, so you gotta come up with something as well (table starter RB as well, "most hands played in a day", "most rake accumulated", "most hours played"... something!

tournaments: you guys have a very good tourney schedule, but nothing ever runs... be social media whores and pimp out the schedule! (not just the "bankroll  builders")

advertisements/promos:  thread needs to be more active (always on the 1st page here)... whether it's an upcoming tourney are just generic promos.

I also think you need a face/spokesperson for the room (ala Micon with SWC)... hell dress a guy up in a spacesuit ("Cyberdonk"/"Cyber..."), clown mask, or just someone working for the room. Post some videos talking about the room... hell makes them cheezy or not, but get people talking! Their I'd a legit bitcoin "community" so get the word out... no such thing as bad publicity if it can get traffic up.

The ladyboy on the front page always makes me pause,make it a little more obvious that that is a lady or a dude dressed as a lady,its to hard to figure out and may detract from the player base thinking its some kind of LGBTQ poker site.

I'll pass on your suggestion. Thanks.


We're working on "something" to reward raking players. Please note that most implementation have to be done on the network level and thus we have little influence on the priority of tasks in the development queue. All I can say at this point is, bank those GCP's. ;)


Thank you, over the next week you'll find us doing much more marketing via social media. For example, we've already created a new twitter account which will be auto-posting tournament and game announcements. The account will however tweet almost hourly which is why those tweets will come from a dedicated account rather than @cyberdeckpoker (https://twitter.com/cyberdeckpoker).

We've also updated the tournament page with a tournament feed. Check it out at:
https://www.cyberdeckpoker.com/tournaments/


We'll be introducing "Team Cyberdeck" soon including promotions build around knocking out TCDP members from tournaments, a weekly "home game" with the members of the team and some other promotions. Videos (or streaming games) is a great idea. I'll pass this on to the team for discussion.

Overall we're happy how our soft-launch has run. Though games are still slow at certain times we can say that feedback from our players has been great and we're in no rush to build up our poker room and the network. For us it's important to offer a reliable, sustainable and consistent service to our players even if that takes time and all feedback received is much appreciated.


Those players must have a vivid imagination. :)

~Sandy

thanks for the responses! Please post the new Twitter handle when it becomes available

so who wants to play some ring games and get some tourneys running?

suggestion... the freerolls start with numerous folks sitting out... any way if that's the case they are removed after 5 minutes of no activity?...

I also think players "enterasuper" and "guramina27" are the same person/account

Concur. I sent Cyber a pm on these two having very similar issues every tourney.
They sit late within seconds of each other or they both sit out at the start and instantly sit in together.
This last tourney he sat in and got stacked on one account and has not sat in with the other account yet.
The usual play by them is to try and get lucky with any two cards on one account and then attempt the same with the other once one is doubled.
Not the only player that seems to use this technique either watching another pair that regs late as well.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also have no volume on the html version,have clicked it on and off in options. Stood up and left to lobby and come back to no avail.

Unfortunately we can't remove players once they have registered to a tournament due to a network limitation. However, starting this week late registration for freeroll tournaments will close automatically after the first player has busted.

As for the accounts mentioned, we've noticed some "odd behaviour" in the last week and we're running a security audit with the network this week. Please note that Cyberdeck operates a zero tolerance policy when it comes to collusion or multi-accounting and any account(s) found to exploit the network will be shut down and their account balance will be seized.

Evildrum, I've created a task for the dev team to look into the sound issue you've reported when playing on the phone. This bug seems to only affect players playing on the phone. The sounds play fine when using the app in a desktop browser. We'll push an update live as soon as the bug has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

~Sandy

Interested.  Going to make my first deposit and try the site out tonight.  Hope to see some of you there!

- Naked

You will find most action at the tables from Thursday through Sunday evening until late EU time. Playing on Cyberdeck since the soft launch and you'll find me at the 10 and 20 chip ring games.

We've completed our security audit and a number of players, from different skins, have been blocked across the network. The balances of accounts blocked on Cyberdeck, players colluding in our freerolls have been seized and we'll redistribute those via our MTT's.

For future reference, Cyberdeck Poker operates on a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to collusion between players. Should you suspect or witness any instances of colluding, please contact our support team immediately.

https://cyberdeckpoker.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/14000006786-i-ve-witnessed-players-colluding-at-the-table-what-should-i-do-

~Sandy

I'll probably play some of the tournaments this weekend, but I did have an observation.  In the tournament descriptions, it claims only a 5% rake from the entry fee, however it shows that the rake is actually set at 10%.  Which is it?  That's something you may want to fix.

I managed to get a little action at a NLHE table, which was a lot of fun.  Do you have plans in the near future for an affiliate program?  I'd be interested in doing some twitch streams once the player base grows a little.

- Naked

Hi Naked,
Thanks for your feedback.

Tournament rake is 10% as outlined in our FAQ. For more information on rake structures please see:
https://cyberdeckpoker.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/14000006778-how-much-rake-do-you-collect-from-the-tables-

The tournaments in question are network-wide tournaments without guarantees. To my best knowledge those were initially meant to be raked at 5% and it was later decided to rake them with 10%. I reckon the network didn't find the time yet to update those templates.


Yes we will be offering an affiliate program soon. Unfortunately the launch has been delayed due to 3rd party dependencies.

~Sandy

Noticed there has been no Crazy points or bankroll builders yet this week. Can you update on if these are coming back as I look at the schedule I see nothing soon.
Understand the need to move schedule around but its hard coming to the site at the designated time to see nothing. Please fix this or address it so that I am not wasting time.

Thanks

Hi Evildrum,

The new schedule is up and the next freeroll is starting in 30 minutes. You may also view the schedule at: http://www.cyberdeckpoker.com/tournaments/ (Please note that all times are displayed in UTC)

We'd like to apologies for this weeks delay. The security audit took priority since the integrity of the games is of utmost importance to us. You'll notice a change in June when we're officially coming out of our soft-launch at which point there wont be any interruption with the tournament schedule and the GTD will run all week.

We'll be also running a cash-back promotion for ALL players through June. Details will follow soon.

See you at the tables and happy Friday,

~Sandy

Edit: The latest edition of our newsletter just went out. It's available online here (http://zc1.campaign-view.com/ua/SharedView?od=11287eca6a6963&cno=11a2b0b1d627820&cd=129178e8936ecd40).

I'll let Cyberdeck try and figure this out... WTF?

Hi yandpok

Kindly contact us via the HelpDesk so that we can discuss your data matching the info of other accounts blocked during our recent security audit and during the last freeroll at 02:00 UTC.

I'll be happy to assist you in this matter.

Sincerely,
Sandy

Its funny I did not notice he was kicked from that tourney till it was pointed out to me.
Appreciate this effort to cracking down on cheating or circumvention of the rules, a lot of the other sites offer lip service to this issue and allow the players to be cheated on.

Still having sound issues but it was suggested to me to try a different brower for the html version and will give that a shot tomorrow.

We're taking the integrity of our games very serious and so does the network. There has been several changes on the server side over the last week which will aid in reducing the risk of collusion across the entire network and our team is actively monitoring the games and tournaments.


Which OS / browser are you currently using?

~Sandy

I am currently using Firefox but will come back and update if Safari works better once I play the bankroll in 2 hours roughly.
Hopefully that fixes the issue,could be I need to upgrade on my end as well.

===============================================================================
Edit:

I tried to log Safari but it is not allowing me to configure to open up the site. I cleared cache and history and tried but no go for that server. Was going to fiddle around in proxies but will have to wait on that till I wake up more.

Hi Evildrum,

Thanks for the information. I've added it to our internal issue tracker.

Do you have Chrome? Apparently sound work with that browser.

~Sandy

Hi all

We've observed a conversation yesterday at one of our hold'em cash game tables which we would like to address. In that conversation one player made a comment that he was under the impression that one of the other players "knows the (community) cards to be dealt next".

We would like to make it clear that this is not possible. It is impossible to predict the cards that are going to be dealt next, that's not how our random number generator (RNG) works. The difference to playing live and online is that online there is no "shuffled decks" like in live poker. The RNG runs a constant shuffle of all cards in the deck (or remaining cards in the deck) and the next card isn't decided until all players have completed their turn. Picture it like a carousel that is constantly spinning and only after all player have acted the RNG will deal the next card which is absolutely random and unpredictable.

Furthermore our RNG has been tested and certified by iTechLabs (http://www.itechlabs.com.au/certificates/jungleegames/RNG_Certificate_enterra-poker_30072013.pdf), one of the most reputable certification companies in the poker industry. Our players may therefore rest assured that nobody, not even us, can predict the cards that will be dealt or the outcome of a hand.

Wishing you all an awesome week.

Regards,
~Sandy

Hmm, is it possible that people wihout an account don't get to see all the tables?

I'm interested in pokersites as I am a highvolume cashgame player and I've had the software running in the backround for a bit to always check if there is some action at the tables, but it seems to be dead ALL the time. Yet I read here people talking about playing in cashgames and tournaments, but I don't see a single tournament running

Or I only see one guy sitting at .05/.10 NLHE cashgame table, but it says 3 player seated and 14 online, where are the two other players seated, I checked every tab.

They are usually signed up for a tourney,if you can not find them at the cash tables. Least that is how I have figured it to be. Just remember this site has not actually launched yet,so the players will slowly come along.

You'll currently find most action at the tables between 21:00 - 06:00 UTC and on the weekends. In general once a game starts it quickly fills up. In case you see more player "seated" than in the lobby, check the other game tabs. Some players like to play Stud or Open Face Chinese. It's also possible that one of the other operator on the network runs a private tournament on their skin which you wouldn't see in the Cyberdeck lobby.

As mentioned before our tournament schedule resets every Monday for recalculation and reconciliation. The new schedule should go up today / tomorrow which isn't sure yet due to the holiday. You can see the GTD schedule on this page when it's up. It's live data from the lobby: http://www.cyberdeckpoker.com/tournaments/

Looking forward to see you at the tables.

~Sandy

I always checked EVERY tab because I wanted to see that action, but couldnt find any. But I will keep my eyes open. I didn't know you guys haven't launched yet I thought you are already full running and its just the bginning phase so I understand the lack of players. But your site seems promising andI wish you all the best and would to play at yor site once I see some games running because at the moment I'm looking thoroughly to add more bitcoin poker action to my playing schedule!

Hi BTCGambler,

Glad to hear that you like our software, thanks.

Cyberdeck has launched and is fully operational. We soft-launched our tournament schedule over the last weeks to see at which times we're attracting the most players and we're now preparing the hard-launch and new promotions to run through June and July. I'll share those here once they are live.

I think I saw you at the NL tables today. At those limits it may take some time for you to get some games at least frequently. Hopefully we'll see more mid stake players joining in the weeks to come so that you get some action at the tables. As a reminder, most players are usually online Thursday through Sunday between 21:00-05:00 UTC.

There is some NL and OFC games right now though those are in the micro stake levels.

Regards,
~Sandy

Hi all,

We've created a Slack chat for our players.

The chat is "invite only" for the duration of this week while we're working on some integrations. However, those of you who have been with us for the last couple of months are welcome to join early. Those of you interested please create a ticket via the HelpDesk with the topic "Slack invite" and we'll send you an invite. Come and meet the team, we're waiting for you. ;)

Best Regards,
~Sandy

I'll give it a shot, maybe it would be easier to coordinate some ring games to run

I believe that we've already sent you an invite.

~Sandy

indeed, I joined!

I'm wondering if any regular BTC poker players are playing here? Guys, what is your experience? If I'm already playing at Fortunejack, SWC, and Nitrogen, is there some reason to try this place out?

traffic needs to pick up, but the room has a lot going for it IMO... I think if more folks got the word about their tourney schedule the place would really pick up.  Cashouts are fast and the "community" atmosphere thus far reminds me of the old SWC. I like the energy so far from the admins.

I logged in and played here a couple weeks ago, and it was a bit slow, or I just hadn't logged in at the right time. What is the freeroll schedule like over the next few days. Generally I would play a couple of those to get my feet wet.

The freerolls are important but they seem to get scrapped and I tend to check once and be done for the day.
Noticed they are not getting enough people again and that must be due to infrequency of schedule. Hopefully that gets addressed on launch day.

I've been playing online for many years, did Black Friday and co, played on the old SwC right after Micon launched it and in general I believe that playing bitcoin poker is the most convenient solution.

Playing on Cyberdeck since the beta launch last year and liking it a lot. Traffic is low but they just officially soft-launched earlier this year and afaik they have been working out network-wide adjustments during this time.

I think what the site needs most is that those of us who like playing on there show some support by re-tweeting CDP and by inviting some of the poker players some of us might know. in general, engage with the site, give it some exposure. The software is great, games are good and the MTT schedule is attractive but lacking players. I also think that Cyberdeck has shown that they are consistent in what they are doing and very transparent.


At the moment Freerolls only run Thursday - Sunday Sandy explained in this thread how the tournament schedule works and she also said that it's not Cyberdeck's goal to cater to players who do not rake or don't deposit. Scroll back because as a raking player I like their approach.


They didn't get scrapped. The have been running on the above days consistently for many weeks. I understand that the schedule is reset every Monday for reconciliation with the network and recalculation because the guarantees are backed by Cyberdeck when they go up, so they are not operating on player funds (big +). I think Sandy also said that they are adding new tournaments with guarantees network wide but perhaps that wasn't in this thread. She also said that they would make adjustments because most of the players in the freeroll are only cashing out, don't rake and never made a deposit. For a poker network that's a big no no and raking players should feel the same. Players like that drain the ecosystem, they don't contribute to it.

For all I care scrap the freerolls or have a weekly new players freeroll and add cash game point buy-in's to all other bonus tournaments. I'd rather see CDP rewarding raking players than those who don't.

Evildrum, you have a crypto exchange? Make a deposit and play some real poker ;)

Edit: Sandy, please promote OFC and NL ring games more. I think you could put foot into the OFC niche since it's quite popular among players and plays well on your site.

Main reason why some of those didn't run last week was the recent crack-down on accounts who thought they could multi-account on our site.


Thanks for your suggestion. We're already promoting OFC and NL games and we'll extend promotions for our raking players through June and July. Keep an eye on this thread and/or our social media accounts.

One of the main reasons why building the player base is slower than we've anticipated is the lack of "accurate" referral tracking.

If Cyberdeck was a standalone poker site we'd be able to resolve this rather quickly. However, we're a network and therefore depending on 3rd party implementation before we can take the affiliate program live. The members on our team have worked many years in the online poker industry which means that we have very good ties to a number of forums, radio shows, long-time poker affiliates and poker leagues. However, given the nature of the business those partners wont send their players without tracking in place.

Hopefully this will change in the next 1-2 weeks with the launch of the partner program.

We've made changes to the 2 chip for testing purposes. The guaranteed has been reduced from 20 to 10 mBTC and in return the tournament only requires 4 players to run. The next Bankroll Builder freeroll will run at 02:00 UTC.

See you at the tables,

Hi All!

Some of you might have noticed that we've been a little quiet over the last two weeks.

The main reason is that we've been very busy behind the scenes development wise but we also issued an information lock-down 2 weeks ago after the account of a player got compromised. The incident promoted us to immediately shut down the cashier system on a network level while ensuring that the compromised account was an isolated issue, which it was.

However, the incident promoted us to set a temporary withdraw limit on the cashier while developing additional security features which will prevent such incidents from happening in the future. The first enhancement has been already pushed live, players now receive a withdrawal confirmation email to authorise (or cancel) their withdrawal. Players have 24 hours to confirm or deny a withdrawal request before it's being processed.

Over the next week or two we'll be introducing additional security features before the limits currently in place will be removed again. Those updates include:

• Make providing an email address mandatory. Status: testing, bugfix
• Withdrawal delayed for 24 hours with email notification (...click here if it wasn't you). Status: testing, bugfix
• Implement Email and/or Google 2-FA to client / cashier. Status: test, bugfix
• Lockable withdrawal address in player profile / cashier. Status: in progress

Please note, to withdraw chips exceeding the current daily limit please contact us via the HelpDesk. Requests exceeding the current daily limit are processed manually, for any amount, within 24 hours from Monday - Friday. Manual requests submitted during the weekend are processed Mondays.

I've been away for a bit. Has the traffic picked up at all here?

no Tweets or responses here... anyone still playing here?

Dug this thread up thinking that there might be some news to find into what was going on with it!
It was looking to be a decent site,is this project wrapped up or just taking a siesta?
Had some issues playing on it but they where pretty on top of the cheating from what I could see.

and finally they stole my money too

BHИMAHИE!!! ЭHTEPPA = ЖУЛИКИ И BOPЫ, HECBЯЗЫBAЙTECЬ И TEM-БOЛEE HEДABAЙTE ДEHEГ - OHИ MEHЯ OБOКPAЛИ И OTКAЗAЛИCЬ OTBEЧATЬ ПO ДOЛГAM!
ENTERRA - THIEVES & EMBEZZLERS - DO NOT BUSINESS AND DON'T SEND MONEY - THEY STOLE FROM ME AND DENY RESPONSIBILITY!!!

oпытныe вopы! they are a russian piece of shit scammers after all, don't listen to Siren's Song, if you know what i mean!

Who did you talk to, how much are you owed in BTC?

I know for a fact that payouts have been processed, got mine a long time ago. However, the entire network has been pretty much dead for months. If you're still owed funds at this point then you're owed by Enterra since they do (or did) the entire processing for the network. The sites are just skins on the network just like on real money poker networks.

No I think they just licensed the software from Enterra. Its not a white label, otherwise there should be more than half a player on the site. If they are gone, than you can bet your bottom dollar (bitcoin) that you wont be getting anything from them.

Its a shame. I'm in the process of building my own poker room for cryptos. All these crappy brands popping out of nowhere really pisses me off! they spend 0.0000001 btc on advertising. give away fake shit. and the moment anyone deposits, that's it theyre gone. Really disappointing for the industry. Players are just gonna stop trusting anyone.

Like I've said, I know for a fact that the network was handling all player funds cross-cage processing (settlements between skins on the network. Common practice else every skin would end up owning money to the network or, like you've said, take deposits but don't settle with the network. Thus, networks always handle the processing unless a skin is at VERY good standing with them. Thus anyone who thinks he's owed money, contact Enterra.

That is definitely not how its handled. To acquire a standalone licence is a 1 time payment of around $10-$20K for this kind of poker software, honestly, anymore than 10 and your just throwing your money away. Ontop of that it depends what kind of partnership deal you close. Typically these platforms charge like a % of net-rake (5-10% depending on volume). They do NOT manage the funds in anyway shape or form. That way they take no responsibility for player funds, regulations etc.

my opinion is that most of these brands actually go in with good intentions. But they have no idea what they are doing and when they realize they are at a lose of $20-30K and its time to pack their bags, they take whatever change is left inside. I guarantee you they didn't make millions.

On the other hand, why should a player care? His funds are frozen/stolen or whatever. Very sad! 

So, this is a bad skin on a good network or just going through some growing pains?  Is anybody still playing here or have they all ran away?  How's the traffic? Most important: Does this site require a strict documentation verification process before withdrawal?  <----that's a deal breaker for me!  I'm already playing on a pretty good network on a skin which offers the fastest and easiest withdrawals I've ever seen....so....I'm open to play with new players....but not if it's harder than it has to be.

What is the name of this skin?

I would have thought it is the publicly proven Betcoin.ag scam! (https://game-protect.com/betcoin-ag-scam/), but they are not a part of a network.  :-\

Do you have as well the domain name for this network?

What are the names of the other skins?


Common practice is that a skin has its own cashier, but there are also skins that use the network cashier.

If a skin does not settle with the network, he gets banned! The identity of the skin owner is known, so he also can get sued. It is not like you rob the network and that's it!

A skin might also has to make a security deposit.


Enterra what?

Enterra Poker delivers the software and do not state anything about a poker network!



So Cyberdeck Poker launched its own "poker network" and called themselves the flagship while their network had no other skins and therefore of course a very low traffic as a standalone site.

You should not start a Bitcoin poker site based on lies!

Agreed!
but to be honest, its not so hard launching a btc casino/sportsbet/poker/dice brand. all you need is alittle bit of capital. The problem is, as you probably know as an affiliate, your expenses don't end there. A brand like theirs would need atleast 5 bitcoins in their wallet for payouts and another 20-30k dollars for advertising.
Ontop of that, they would need to be alittle bit unique, not the same as others.

they haven't done any of that.
So they lost whatever little they invested, backed their bags and hit the road.
If you had any money with them, you can try talking to enterra, but I seriously doubt they will take responsibility.

Anyone who played on the Enterra network can see that the network itself handled the processing by simply looking at the withdraw emails. Those always came from the network / their domain and by looking at their network site the standard revenue share model for this particular network appears to be 50/50. Funky considering that the network doesn't even put any "network wide" promotions up but rather leaves (or should I say left) those up to each individual skin. This is not how you "pool players" and defeats the purpose of offering a networked solution in the first place.

You don't get it uh? CDP was the first skin on that network owned and operated by Enterra. Apparently they were meant to be the flagship room but there was basically zero intensive by the network to make the effort of all their skins work due to a lack of any good network wide promotions. Basically each skin put up their own tournaments and whatever and most used to set them up so they would only show on their own skin. CDP were the only ones out of the bunch of skins who tried to make this really work. The other skins were just running 1-5 chip freerolls and then hunted their players on their own cash game tables.

I know that because I used to play on 3 of those skins and they were all crap and their collusion at the cash tables vs the other players was just obvious and blunt.

So yeah to get back to the actual point of my initial reply. Anyone who still has a balance on ANY of their skins is owed by the network operator, Enterra.

.............................

Seems you know more than I do. In anycase, Flagship, white-label or licensed, they didn't do a very good job.
I think any btc poker room should segregate player funds, and add at the very least $10K in btc equivalence just for player payout. Then they can decide how much money/investment and work they will put into marketing.

Losing funds of players is absolutely unacceptable.
Perhaps this is one of many reasons why bitcoin poker hasn't really evolved with the years. Should have been huge by now

Blacklizard, when I ask Enterra what, I ask for the name of the operator and where they are incorporated?

No offense, but one skin is not a network! A network has several skins and also at least a decent traffic and that was not the case with Cyberdeck Poker.

They have one skin with almost no traffic and then they speak about their poker networks!

I asked you for the names of the other skins?

If each "skin" with almost zero traffic put up their own tournamets and whatever, then this was no network! I assume that the other "skins" were also from Enterra, to simulate there would be a network, because I can not imagine that any foreign real skin would agree to a 50% revenue share, while real networks usually ask for 10%.

Also, a real network does not allow that each skin keeps its own traffic on their skin, because they want to have a shared traffic so that the total traffic of the network is higher and attracts other skins who will then contribute a share of their revenue to the network.

The operator obviously has no clue how the online poker industry works and that is why they failed. They probably had some good coders on hand, but that is not enough to introduce a new site or network successfully.


Yes, because the other "skins" were also run by Enterra. But your problem is that you can not sue or demand money from a name, you need to know the operator of this name or website.

Totally agree that there should be already at least one huge site and I think this did not happen because those who tried had not enough funds on hand to introduce it successfully.

However, from all what I have seen and read so far, I am confident that your project will succeed, if you have sufficient funds on hand or maybe you can also start an ICO or introduce your own gambling coin that can be traded.

And btw, Game Protect offers an unbiased Mediation service (https://game-protect.com/mediation-service/) for disputes. This could surely help to establish a trustworthiness instead of having a for players in most cases worthless license.

I've checked your site and have two questions:

1. Do you require documents on withdraw? KYC?
2. Do you run the tournaments mentioned in OP? Like weekly guaranteed 5K? Because the tournament schedule on your site is empty.

Perhaps instead of checking the user's site and asking stupid questions you should read back a page and note what's been happening with the site.

If these questions are legitimate then they will be answered not. To a user on the previous page, the site is a scam in which they were caught.

I couldn't agree more. I believe the network itself made a huge mistake. They probably exchanged deposits for fiat and then they woke up to BTC at X times it's value. Imho CDP did a good job with their efforts to make their skin work but if the network operator screws up, what can they do? I think if CDP was a standalone room they could have succeeded. I chatted with them many times and, like others said, they were on top of player collusion, had some good skin exclusive promotions etc.

Honestly, networked poker is dead (imho). Over the years I've seen so many sites and networks (real money) go down and I was really hoping that this BTC network would succeed. The idea was great since you really need to pool players to have a decent number of players in Bitcoin but yeah, badly executed from the networks side.
