Why support a poker room who would not support you when things got tough for US players?
They won't get my time or money. - Screw them!! |
||||
| addam00 |
hiI dont think its the idea that they did not wat tio support us..I think they were more protecting themself and looking for ways that can accept us players.... but I think now more sites will come back to the us.... |

| harry_lime |
Re: hi
i'm not so sure adam. i think that the microgaming network has been watching how PokerHost has been faring since moving to the network and Doyles has just decided to follow suit - hence the 11 banned states, just like Pokerhost. you never know though ! |

I lifted this from their site. DoylesRoom.com is bringing you an amazing promotion for the month of December!

By playing this tournament you will be invited to participate for FREE in... Our weekly $300 WINNER TAKE ALL tournament and an incredible $1,000 CLOSING PARTY Freeroll tournament to be played on December 29th at 19:00 EDT (23:00 GMT). Did you know that with only $4.40 you can win more $1,000! Thats right ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! You just need to make a deposit into your poker account and buy-in to our Wednesday tournaments. Your seat to the $300 WINNER TAKE ALL will be automatically reserved for you as well as for the $1,000 Closing Party FreeRoll tournament. You will actually participate in THREE EVENTS for the price of ONE! |

Unfortunately, Illinois is one of those states that banned online poker. I don't use personal credit cards to deposit, but instead use a gift card. That seems to work. I need to decide if I want to try another poker room though. I have been loyal to .com since I started. I would entertain others thoughts here. I didn't really like PokerStars - too big and too many players. Tried AP but don't really like that one either. | ||||
| addam00 |
hiPoker4ever is a good site and if you download form MLP banner.... well what i do is sometimes i will try new sites.. but maybe just the freerolls or priavte freerolls to see if Ilike it and they way you do not have to deposut and who know u might win miney there and never have to deposit... |
||||
| Know-nuffin |
Yep adam is right there.P4E is a nice small site to play on.
Here is a link to our review of P4E. APF have enjoyed a weekly game there for three months now. I do not know how much longer we will be playing there as APF, but I intend to keep playing on there.

New Software :
The Microgaming software at Doyles Room is finally coming into it's own. The downloadable software now features resizable and tileable tables, ability to upload your own avatars, instant hand history plus customizable table and flooring colours. The games seem to run smoother and there is still the flash version of the site for those that wish to play without installing the software permanently on their computer. To celebrate the new software, Doyles is running a special freeroll this Saturday. More here. |

| cjbenny |
this may seem like a silly question about doyles room but here goes:
when they have there bounty tourny is it really him playing? |

"As an addition to this bonus, if you make a deposit of $500 or more, you are entitled to receive the Super System 1 and Super System 2; there is no a time limit for this code and this advantage will never expire"
Ive deposited 500$ but cant find any info on this offer?? Is it still going? Would love to get those books 
For info chasing pts for bonus takes forever. U need to contribute to a raked hand (0.25) to get pts  Doing this on pokerhost that is on the same network is alot easier since every raked hand counts....if anyone cares to know 
|
||||
| harry_lime |
did you sign-up through APF. if so i will check that for you with our rep. i'm sure there shouldn't be any problem.
|
||||
| harry_lime |
sorry this took so long. 
so what happened was that they ran out of stock and have temporarily stopped this particular promotion for now. according to our rep, there should be no problem with you getting your books when they finally get a new batch in but she couldn't give me any definate date yet. i'll check back with them in a couple of weeks for an update and let you know. you'll be getting them eventually !
note : the $500 book promo is temporarily suspended until further notice. |

This site doesn't welcome players from all the states. Not welcome states are Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, New York and New Jersey.
I live in Michigan so I can't play at this site. |
||||
| harry_lime |
if you read the review at the top, it does mention this already in the summary. |
||||
| muratore |
dont know if you have tried to play there yet jolub, and i dont know how it is about Michigan, but i do know that players from at least 2 of the mentioned states can play at Doyles (Illinois and South Dakota) | ||||

Important News From Doyles Room
A big thumbs up to Doyles for doing everything they can to stick with US players. Please read through the whole thing. And i quote... "DoylesRoom.com has been informed by its software provider that effective Monday November 10th, 2008; they will no longer be accepting any new players from the United States of America. Existing players from the USA will not be affected by this and will be able to continue playing. Based on the above, DoylesRoom.com has decided to continue its marketing efforts in the USA and the rest of the world, and to this end we are quickly working towards migrating to a new software platform that will support our efforts to provide security and stability to all USA players and affiliates. Currently, we are negotiating with multiple software providers." |

This is great news. I wonder if they'll be yet another site on the Merge network. |

Doyles have added a new deposit method called IPPPay.
Does anyone know how this works and if it's any good ? |
||||
| PoolDemon |
|
||||
| SoSoft |
LOL I don't know what IPPPay is either. I'm currently trying to get my PIC-CLUB account working which I think will be a good thing. Trouble is that they decided to move their credit card function to another country Nov 26th.. which would take a few days ... and they still don't have it up and working yet. *ugh* --- Will let you know how well Pic-Club works if I ever get it going.
|
||||
| harry_lime |
yeah, i've heard mostly good things about them but it's always good to get extra info. |
||||
| harry_lime |
Some Pic-Club chat going on here. Also, here's some news on Doyles. For the moment they will be suspending private games whilst they are sorting out their software move. Although no official announcement has been made, they are expected to make the move in about one month and once again be open to players in the US. My relationship with them still appears to be good so i hope we'll be back there a.s.a.p. with some more forum games on the new platform. |
||||
| addam00 |
it seems like microgaming is losing players.. ben on the site and it there hanst been much going on those sites... maybe they should get there own software and not be with anybody. | ||||

This Just In On The Doyles Room Move
As DoylesRoom readies to launch our all new poker room and casino, we ask that you keep a very close eye on your email box. Get ready for over $5,000,000 in monthly guarantees, multiple daily and nightly guaranteed tournaments, an all new rewards program and the most active network that we've ever called home. It's more of everything you love about DoylesRoom. More players, more tables, and more guarantees at the times of the day you want to play poker. This week, there will be no Bounty tournament as we transition to our incredible new platform. The Bounty will return on January 21st at 9:30pm ET. We will be sending each of our players detailed emails describing the new exciting changes and what needs to be done to smoothly transition to our new network. |
||||
| harry_lime |
News Just In
Although the official e-mail has yet to go out, Doyles Room is now in the process of making the switch to the Cake Network. It is already possible to download the new site from the Doyles Room Homepage although i don't think they have transferred existing accounts to the new software yet. If you check out the homepage, you will see that it is already reflecting Cake style promotions. I would still advise waiting until the official e-mail is sent out and then following the instructions given ! Launch Party Looks like there will be a $5000 Freeroll on 31.01.09 at 5PM EST to celebrate the switch. |
||||
| harry_lime |
Just to back up this information. I've managed to transfer my account to the new Cake software and have uploaded pics in the top post and in the main Alternate Poker Doyles Room Review. As i stated earlier, it's probably best to wait until they send out the official announcement to all players before you go ahead and download the new software but i wanted to give you the fast track heads up on what's going on. Doyles Room is back in the USA !
Some Extra Info On The Change The customer support division at Doyle’s Room says it is critical that players do not load up both versions of Doyle’s Room. To be able to play on the proper network, existing players will have to uninstall the old Doyle’s Room software and load up the new network’s software from the site. For those players that are already on the Cake network, Doyle’s Room support states that once a player has uninstalled the older version and loaded the new one, you should be able to use your Cake network information to access the tables through Doyle’s Room. P.S. More info on that $5000 Launch Party Freeroll can be found here. |
||||
| addam00 |
woo hoo my money is in and trasfer
|
||||
| PoolDemon |
no email from them yet, but i un-installed the old doyle's room anyways, then installed the cake version, & my money was there right away. | ||||
| shirun |
Same here
cash is there but the promotion section is blank so im guessing that my deposit deal is gone...along with the books i hoped to get at some point
I havnt played much on cake network so hopefully i will enjoy it there
|
||||
| PoolDemon |
heya Harry, have you heard anything, or any chance you can check with your contact there to see if they are going to do anything for those of us that had bonus's pending on there ?
thanks
|
||||
| harry_lime |
already written to them about existing bonuses yesterday actually but i imagine i won't hear anything until next week - they must be pretty bogged down right now. usually in these situations, the bonus doesn't get moved but as they still haven't officially told existing players to move yet ...who knows. as soon as i get confirmation on what's happening, i'll post it of course. |
||||
| HOUSECATS |
Down loaded Doyle's Room today. I was surprised they let me log in but they did. Still can't log onto the rest of cake network. | ||||
| harry_lime |
ok, in answer to the question of whether old bonuses will be carried over this is the reply from our rep (and i quote) : "All your players who deposited and were clearing the bonus before the change are still eligible for the bonus. They will get it as soon as they achieve the required amount of action points" and as i alluded to in terms of the change over and why your bonus might not be showing, she goes on to say : "Right now we are in the process of merging all kind of data, that is our priority at this moment" the only question left on the bonus issue would seem to be on whether there is a time limit or not, which i am now awaiting a reply for. i'll let you know as soon as i do.
|
||||
| PoolDemon |
thanks for keeping us updated H...we appreciate U matey
|
||||
| shirun |
cool...sounds promising
Thx Harry 
|
||||
| PoolDemon |
the DOH question of the day, I didn't really play much other than league games on there, some cash occasionally (that I can remember)
before I got the new one running I checked my points, had about 350 & bonus showinig at 92% pending, so the DOH question, did that mean I had 92% to go to clear it, or was I only 8% away from clearing it...DOH, if it was only 8% I should have played it off, DOH what an idiot I am sometimes (DON'T SAY IT!!!) |
||||
| shirun |
8% ....seriously 
|
||||
| PoolDemon |
|
||||
| addam00 |
wooo hoo I got gold chiips from doyles a whloe lot of them... i gues mayeb that is part of therfe loyality poinbts or is that just given gold chis to everyone... every since doyle open on cake gammeing I have seen more people on there.. so I think that would make cake gameing grow faster I guess... | ||||
| shirun |
only 2 goldchips for me
|
||||
| DangerMouse |
I`ve just had a quick look to see if I`d aquired any gold chips and to my shock I have 11
Quite surprised as I`ve only ever played APF league games on Doyles and I`ve never made a deposit there. |
||||
| harry_lime |
5 Million in Monthly Guarantees
DoylesRoom now offers round the clock tournament action in your time zone, with guarantees ranging from $1000 to our monthly blockbuster $250,000 Guarantee on final Sunday of each month. Cash, Gold Chip and freerolls are available under the Satellite tab within Tournaments. 
|
||||
| jolub |
I'm glad that Doyle's room choose the Cake network. I don't know if I'll open an account or not. I already have enough Cake network accounts. Doyle would have to give some nice sweetner for me to make a deposit. I only know of one forum having games there. So I just don't know. | ||||
| harry_lime |
we'll be having a freeroll there next month i think (we've agreed on it but i'm just waiting the final date) and then i'm hoping for regular buy-ins as we used to have but i'm yet to have confirmation on that. |
||||
| SystEmsuX |
Haven't downloaded the new software yet. So now, thanks to Eurolinx, I've been kicked off Microgaming entirely. Guess I'll try some Cake. | ||||
| shirun |
Logged onto Doyles yesterday and my bonus is continuing
Still a long way to go tho.... FPP needed 4,338.33 
At least i got until 2020 to clear it 
|

| harry_lime |
well kudos to Doyles for being as good as their word, glad to hear it.

$25,000 DOYLE'S CELEBRITY BOUNTY Thursday, April 2nd - 9:30pm ET True Hollywood Legend Mickey Rourke headlines a mega celebrity Doyle's Bounty this week. Most recently awarded a Golden Globe and Oscar nominated for "The Wrestler" and soon to play the arch villain in the upcoming "Ironman 2", Mickey is spending the evening at DoylesRoom and taking on all comers! Joining our team of celebrites is Grammy-winning singer and actress, Eve. With over 7 million (yes six zeros) records sold and plenty of movies under her belt, this hip hop legend is ready for a showdown on the poker table. Returning to the bounty are two of our fan favorites. The stunning hotel heiress, fashion designer and model, Nicky Hilton brings experience, charm and a strong will to win. Our 4th celebrity is the gorgeous Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Called "The Best TV Series Ever", The Sopranos is where we all came to know Jamie, as Meadow Soprano. A bounty veteran, Miss Soprano..errr..Jamie-Lynn knows what it takes to get the "job" done. No bounty would be complete without the Legendary 10-time WSOP winner Doyle Brunson and the world's foremost authority on strategy and statistics, Mike "The Mad Genius" Caro. Last week's bounty tournament winner river_robin also joins the bounty mix with a $500 prize on his head. Remember, all first time players can request a full refund on this page and we'll return every penny of your $27.50 buy-in win or lose! From the poker lobby: Tournaments --> Scheduled --> Doyle's Bounty |
