Chatting with Walker Poker
Today we have with us Stephen Arnold from Walker Poker to answer a few questions about the site. This will be where the House of Poker Blues will be holding the next league games , so stay tuned for upcoming news on that .
1. Hello Steve , I want to thank you for taking the time to answer these questions . First off I just want to say that the network your Poker Room is with is without a doubt one of the best there is . What made you decide to go with Merge Gaming Network ?
The reason we went with Merge is the network ticked all the right boxes for Walker as a poker skin, Firstly and most important to us was a network that accepts "all US players"
Second the Network has a great name and is well trusted all the way back to its Poker.com days.
Third was the size of the network and the software, It gives a great starting base with the amount of players online, the network often has over 6000 players online.
As for the software, we were stunned how good it really is. After Speaking to Merge we soon realised how serious and dedicated they are in becoming one of the biggest and most successful poker networks online.
The decision then was easy, as we are all convinced at Walker this was the place to be with a huge potential for growth in the industry.
2. Most of the members at the House of Poker Blues have an account at one of the rooms at Merge Gaming and really enjoy the different sites . One of our members wants to know what's in it for players like him to sign up with Walker Poker though . Even though these new sites are on Merge, why are players who have original accounts unable to take advantage of new player freerolls or even worse, first time depositor tourneys ?
As for the freerolls there is a very simple reason for exclusion of player that have accounts on the network. To stop players going from skin to skin playing the freerolls and every skin on the network paying for this pleasure. Freerolls are free for players but not poker sites.
Why Walker? Even easier ,we aim to offer the best deposit bonuses there is, "Private Freerolls" for Walker depositors, the first being a $10,000 freeroll on April the 6th, and a great VIP Club.
3. Walker Poker is one of the newest Poker Rooms online so I figure there's going to be some little bugs that need to get ironed out . It's just part of the growing pains that I've seen with any new site . The original Room on Merge ( the original poker.com ) sure had it's share of problems but managed to pull through it quite nicely . If someone were to have a problem with getting a hold of support at Walker Poker , what should they do ?
We of course do our best to make sure there are as few problems as possible and went through extensive testing with Walker before hitting the mass market, but as with all software the little blighters (bugs) always pop up some where.
The support on the Merge network is second to none, all real money players have access to 24/7 live support and if for any reason this does not solve the problem users can Email cashier@walkerpoker.com for any cashout issues.
Everything else to support@walkerpoker.com
As a last resort they can email me direct steve@walkerpays.com
4. The one thing that drew me to Walker Poker was that it has no casino rooms and hope that it never does. I for one like that it's a Poker site only and see that epassporte may be an option to fund the site with for the American Player like myself . Any news when epassporte will work for the site and what can folk do in the meantime ?
This was a very conscious decision when joining the network to be poker only giving us the Epassporte option. We believe this gives Walker a great edge over the other poker rooms on the Merge network.
I am pleased to inform you Epassporte is now live ! (edit: Epassporte has pulled out of poker rooms , however Walker allows the American Player to use credit cards as well as EwalletExpress .)
I was glad to see that Steve and had to make a trail run with a withdraw . I withdrew $200.00 using the epassporte option on your site this past weekend and the money was on my card in about 24 hours . :-)
5. Steve , I'll finish up by letting you speak your mind on any final thoughts . What would you like to say about Walker Poker that makes it the Poker Room to play at ?
Our Aim at Walker is to offer our players something different as we understand they all have a choice. Players of every level are VIPs in our eyes.
With the Great software, support and our extensive deposit options for players worldwide, we think we got the Nuts!!!
Thank you again Steve for being with us today . Folk , this is a great room and I look for them to get better as each day goes by . They have some great bonuses and you can't beat the features and functions of this poker room . For more on that just Click Here .
