People can ship money via Venmo and then I can supply their account with chips. On avg, with a full ring game, I could get $30-$40/hr in rake. Anyone knows how the rake is collected and deposited in your account?
I initially was looking at PPPoker as the interface is pretty simple and easy to navigate. Anyone have any other good apps that they play on themselves?
Any tips or advice would be great. TIA
Best advice I can give is these clubs work when it’s “small” and “Local”.
You don’t want anyone getting buried for more than a few hundred, maybe a thousand a week. You need to have a good control of the credit. Some of these apps will not put a Celing on credit. As this gets bigger you will get stiffed by someone and someone who wins isn’t going to want to hear about you needing to collect first. If you want to accept the rake make sure you have a bankroll to fund the economy.
Keep it local to people you know or know of & where they can be found.
Big money at a distance people get the idea they can tell you to fuck off.
Local and reasonable amounts people would rather just cough it up.
Be careful not to have a million Venmo/PayPal transactions if you can help it. Eventually that will come home to
Roost.
