Recently, GGPoker tried to shove that terrible new table UI down our throats. The community hated it, we complained everywhere, and they actually reverted it. This proves one thing: we have a voice when we make enough noise.
So if we can unite over an ugly table design, why isn't there a massive uproar about PVI (Player Value Index)?
Let's be real, PVI is the most toxic system in the poker ecosystem right now. The narrative is that it "protects recreationals", but that's BS. It doesn't give them a bonus; it just pays them the baseline. Meanwhile, if you're a reg or even a rec on a hot streak, the algorithm punishes you. Your PVI drops in the shadows, and your actual rakeback is slashed by a hidden multiplier.
Why aren't the big names complaining? Because most huge influencers and pros have behind-the-scenes 100% rakeback deals just to smile on stream and hype the site. PVI doesn't affect them. They don't feel their win rate bleeding out.
We aren't asking for 100% ambassador deals. We just want basic transparency. If GG says my loyalty tier gives me 20% rakeback, I want exactly 20% of the real rake I generated. Nothing more, nothing less. No hidden black boxes punishing profitability.
