Hey guys,
I've made a deposit on bet 365 since titan poker isn't available in Bulgaria.
I've read that rake on ipoker should be 6.66% but when I was replaying hands I calculated an 11-11.5% rake. Yikes!
Also pretty much all the tables I see are the bet365 "premium tables" which are as far as I know only for bet365 players.
Given that at these tables I'm seeing same regs for 3 days straight sitting at all the tables ato the limit and the huge rake, no surprise my profit is very small.
So I can't understand, is it just because I'm in Bulgaria or bet365 is just not good?
Excuse me if I miss something I'm new to online poker.

Hey luchobgbg,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com 
Sounds very weird to me. Maybe you could also post on our Bulgarian forum where you may get answers from other Bulgarian Bet365 players.
Regards
Laz
Yeah man, f bet365. Its good for tournaments that have 10% rake like in every other poker rooms (except Natural8) and nothing else!
Also, the first depositors bonus of 100EUR is a joke! THe first 5 EUR you get pretty fast and the other you should grind for ALOT! Just switch rooms.
BTW try changing your DNS IP to Google's - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
This way bulgarian providers cannot stop you from getting to unregulated poker rooms in Bulgaria.

Wow, so this trick still works in Bulgaria though it stopped working in Russia 2-3 years ago. Your government looks too lazy so far to put real obstacles to the spread of online poker sites

Thanks a lot, I'll clear the deposit bonus as I'm making money anyways and switching room.
What sites have you tried with the dns change? I mean, if I register using incorrect info, let's say I won't deposit with a Bulgarian CC but can they close my account and withhold my money as fake info is surely against their terms of service?
No, you should use the correct info about youself when registering. If the room has a policy against bulgarians it will tell you theres a problem and you cannot play. Most unregulated rooms dont have such a policy, they are just blocked by bulgarian providers.
For example TigerGaming. I really liked that room. The only problem is that when I withdrew my money the exchange rate USD to BGN was 1.49, when it should have been 1.80 or more...
