They also called me up the other day to offer a no-strings attached $50 bonus for 250 raked hands or something, very good and excellent customer service from GCP once again (can't complain on that score, even though I had one problem with them they've always been accomodating and polite and sorted things as promptly as possible for me) but it made me wonder if Prima are struggling a little for business at the moment?
Now, it's probably just been bad luck that I've happened to sign in a few times when the tables have been sparse, anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Seems that as more and more sites are introduced to the online world, outside of Party/Empire it's becoming serious sink or swim territory, with lots of the smallest sites barely keeping afloat or disappearing intermittently (Tropics Poker etc etc, these guys are on the way out I'm thinking) and even Stars looking occasionally a bit shabby for players at present (2 deposit bonuses in one month MUST mean that the usually tight-fisted Stars are really gunning for more custom). Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon, and do people think that the online poker boom bubble is beginning to burst, not in terms of the success or size of the major sites, but in terms of the number of sites online starting to become unsustainable, and thus some of the smaller and even medium-sized sites beginning to struggle? In 5 years time will it just be 4 or 5 sites left?
I'd really like to play GCP again, have some money in my account still but I've barely played lately because the tables have been so sparse. I really like the site because they've treated me well and the games are always good, but I just wish there were some games now and again these days!
