    Just got this in my mail, gonna have to give it a 2nd look...

    Dear , As the General Manager of World Sports Exchange, I wanted to send a note thanking everyone for participating at the only No Rake poker room on the net. I'm pleased to say that we've put more than $4.5 million back in the pockets of our players! We've had terrific growth as a result, but it hasn't been without its challenges. I understand some of you have experienced lags while playing, connectivity issues, or other problems. The development team is aggressively working through the bugs and I assure you every one of them will be fixed. To make sure we resolve them in a timely manner and to roll out the many new features you have requested, we've increased the size of our IT team significantly. We appreciate all of your feedback, please keep it coming. On Monday we will be rolling out the first of a series of updates to the poker client. Most importantly, tournament fees will now be rebated, including a retroactive rebate of tournament fees charged since no-rake began. You'll also find an improved interface, easier on the eyes, as a result of customer feedback. For this update, we'll require a little down-time, 3:30 am to 6:30 am EST on Monday, July 3. We will release a new update with our next batch of bug fixes and feature requests in the coming weeks. Not all updates will require downtime, but we will email you in advance of any planned outages. Let me assure you that World Poker Exchange will remain rake free. This is not a short-term promotion or gimmick. I encourage you all to help get the word out that there is no better place on the Internet to play — period. Once again, thank you for playing No Rake poker with us. Keep the comments coming; this is your poker room. Your feedback will continue to shape the no-rake poker community that's been started here at World Poker Exchange.

    Sincerely, Haden Ware General Manager World Sports Exchange

    I play all over but I just don't understand why more players arent going to WPX. I think they don't understand the bite the rake takes out of your ass. They kind of have that bodog thing going too where sports book crossovers come and play.

    I've had nothing but success there. The live online customer service is quick worked well. The interface though is right in line with pacific for low quality. Getting all your rakeback has worked perfectly. Just a lack of players, but still enough to get some action. Hopefully the upgrades will help, but if getting on the cover of cardplayer didn't increase business then they really need to get on the Tv. Sponsor an event like bodog did with the wildcard show.

    Yeah, I got that too... I once played a freeroll on WPX and won upwards of $1

    Unfortunately, the smallest buy in for anything is $2

    Just signed up there today, I'm looking forward to tracking that rake. I did some math and figured that I would have made about $8,500 more last yr. with no rake and I only play part time.

    Of course I'm no math genius. But should be close.
