Jamie from Blue Square is on here every now and again.

I will move this to the Blue Square thread to make sure he picks up on it next time he"s on.


It"s a good idea, and it would be nice to have, I agree.

It should be on the list, just under resizeable tables.   ;D

It"s not something that BSQ would be able to implement in isolation - Time Bank would be governed by iPoker.

You dont have to move negative thoughts re Blue Square, just make them constructive. Im sure Blue Square like every other ipoker site have loads of things that they would like to change with the software (like making it like the old tribecca plz plz plz), and any ideas by players are welcome, at then end of the day (yes it does get dark) but they want you to play on their skin/software..

plz plz no resizable tables, it will just bring in more 16 tabling nits who get rid of all the new players..

things I"d like to see from Bluesquare

Title: Re: NOT A FAN (But here's an idea)

things I"d like to see from Bluesquare

  • resizeable tables
  • timebank
  • rakeback

    Guess Jamie wont like the last one but since using PokerTracker I have been amazed by the amount of rake I pay. If I moved to another site then this would be £"s in my bankroll.


Rakeback is the only thing that BSQ can affect. A few sites on ipoker do rakeback as well.

As steve has said, the other things are issues with ipoker - though if all the ipoker sites raised these issues then maybe ipoker would do something about it

I believe iPoker don"t actually allow rakeback as such, so skins get around it in a number of ways.  But it should be possible.

Yes, it is possible for them to offer what is effectively rakeback, merely called something else.  I"m not sure why they don"t offer rakeback, when like you said other skins do provide it (under the guise of whatever they decide to call it).

They could even offer APAT points as a substitute for rakeback to APAT members.  This could be rakeback that is only for use for buy-in to APAT events - both online or live.

Just an idea.

This is a good idea - as well is the timebank and resizable tables

"build it and they will come" - look at stars - but then i am sure that ipoker generate enough revenue, from all of its skins, for 1 skin (bsq) and its customers (us lot) not to have to much sway!
