iPoker Cracks Down on 'Black' Rakeback, Limits Regular Players


iPoker network is cracking down on 'black' rakeback and has begun limiting the number of cash game limits for some players. The network, which includes VC Poker, sent letters to regular players informing them of new policy changes that limit their cash game options.

The new policy aims to reduce the number of profitable players in poker rooms to avoid penalties from iPoker. This move is part of a broader effort to attract new, primarily losing players, and to curb the practice of 'black' rakeback, which has been prevalent in the network despite previous attempts to control it.

VC Poker, part of the iPoker network, sent letters to regular players informing them of new policy changes that limit their cash game options. The letter stated that the new policy is in response to iPoker's regulations, which require poker rooms to have more losing players than winning ones. The letter also mentioned that players can still participate in tournaments.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
