Default No Rake - WSEX Poker

I'm surprised that this topic hasn't been discussed in this forum yet.
or atleast it hasn't been discussed in this section of the forum (which is the right section)

World Sports Exchange (also World Poker Exchange) is now offering 100% rakeback on all your playing.
i'm sure many of you have already read about this somewhere.

it's revolutionary!
i have yet to try it but i am hearing a lot of good things about it.

there have been several attempts by other poker sites to offer 100% rakeback. usually by allowing monthly subscriptions fees instead like CardCrusade did. unfortunately those sites all miserable failed.

Well, how does WSEX do it then?
it's the biggest sports booking site on the net (although i'm not sure because all booking sites claim they are the biggest!)
they state that they make wayyy too much profite alone in the sports booking branch that it doesn't matter if they have a loss in the poker branch.
in fact, they believe that by having people around playing poker at their site, it will also encourage them to wager more on sports in their profiting branch.

rake is still taken for each hand/tourney from what i hear. but 100% of it is given back to you at the end of each week.

this is one thing i don't understand though, why take the rake then give it all back when they can just not rake at all? i'm assuming it's because of the way te program was made as it used to exist prior to the no-rake policy.

anyways, if you are a regular limit/nolimit cash game player, you'll know how much rake can affect your play.
it's worth checking out WSEX poker.
