DOLLARO POKER NETWORK & ItalyPokerDeals

 

Our team has been dealing with Dollaro Poker Network since 2010, both as players (even before ItalyPokerDeals was launched) and affiliates (since 2013), so we understand pretty well how things work in this network.

Besides our experience, another advantage of working with us for Dollaro network is the flexibility we are offering. It is well known that, from time to time, Dollaro skins stop their activity or some specific agencies for various reasons. Supposing this happens, we can offer replacement accounts in a different skin, until things get back to normal, ensuring you can play almost anytime.

Below you can find some of Dollaro skins ItalyPokerDeals has been promoting during these years and then, a detailed and uncensored review of Dollaro Poker Network, based on our experience and on our customers' feedback. This review is updated constantly.

We recommend you read it until the end because you have to understand this place is different and even though we provide safe access to Dollaro, things do not work like in PokerStars.

DOLLARO POKER NETWORK REVIEW

 

Dollaro Poker is an international network (.COM, .NET, .EU skins) which has Italy as main market and it has been the softest network of online poker during the past 6 years. This is the network with most recreational players and not so many regulars, while some of the latters are very inexperienced.

Being an underground network, a lot of things can be considered bellow the accepted standard in the poker market, but, in the same time, these are some of the reasons why Dollaro is the softest network you have ever seen:

 

Dollaro Poker - the internet cafes network

In the past, you could rent Dollaro Poker accounts from many internet cafes in Italy. Therefore, a lot of people who spent their time in such places for slots, sports betting or socializing, also tried their luck at the poker tables by renting an account at the location. Obviously, these are recreational players and gamblers.

 

Italian players

Since Italy is the main market of Dollaro Network, most of the players who join this network are from this country. Italy is well known among the countries which lose most money in online poker.

 

High fish vs regs ratio. Sports betting gamblers and weak poker players

Most of the skins of Dollaro network are also offering Sports Betting and Casino services. Some of the customers who win money in Sports Betting and Casino try their luck at the poker tables. Luckily winning in Casino or in Sports Betting, does not guarantee poker tables success and most of the times those customers end the day by losing their money to poker regulars.

From our experience and from our customers' reviews, we can tell that most of the regular players in Dollaro are pretty weak in comparison to the ones from the well established networks in the market.

All these mean the fish vs regular players ratio is very high. It's not unusual to see 2-3 recreational players at most of the tables and from time to time, you can grab a seat at a table where you have to fight 5 "flop wanna see no matter what" players.

 

Dollaro Poker Network bad reputation

Dollaro does not get involved in solving the problems of their customers. This lack of support made a lot of regulars to avoid this network. You need a trustworthy and experienced affiliate to keep things working well in Dollaro.

If you search the internet for Dollaro, you will find a lot of posts and articles describing the problems that some players had in this network. Locked accounts, confiscated money, Dollaro rakeback not paid and many more, are all related to this network. Enough information to scare the PokerStars type of player.

 

Banned players

Dollaro does not like winning players because they take money out of the system. The ideal scenario for Dollaro is when all players are break even and all their deposits are turned into rake, which means profits for the network. Therefore, Dollaro banned a lot of players and also confiscated some of their balances. Without an affiliate to defend your interests, you won't be able to avoid such things.

 

Scammer affiliates

Without any protection from the network, a lot of wannabe affiliates scammed a lot of naive poker players, by promising huge rakeback deals and good services. Obviously, by asking the right questions, you can easily figure out if a person is trying to trick you or not. We always encourage our customers to ask us or the affiliates they are working with, a lot of questions about the way they work or about the rakeback deals they are offering.

 

Arrested people and shut down skins

At the beginning of 2016, Italian authorites arrested several people who had connections with Dollaro network, accusing them of tax evasion and money laundering, and several Dollaro skins have been permanently closed. Again, such events make some players avoiding this network.

 

Bad software features

Dollaro is not offering a downloadable poker client, the lobby and the tables are accessed from your browser. Besides that, there is no trackers support, so if you want to use Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker on this network, you need a hand grabber, which we can provide. There are several networks which offer more advanced and friendlier poker clients, but in the end, you play poker for the money so such details should not matter when we are talking about the softest games in online poker.

 

VPN requirements

Most of Dollaro skins requested in the past that their customers should use Italy VPNs when accessing Dollaro games, since Italian players had better treatement. But using an Italian IP means you can not simultaneously access other non-Italian rooms from the same computer. Therefore, a lot of regulars who used to play on several rooms in the same time, avoided this network.

 

Lack of Dollaro Poker bonuses, promotions and races

Dollaro skins are not offering any welcome bonuses, reload bonuses, promotions, rakeback, cashback or rake races. Therefore, this network is not attractive for the regulars who chase races and promotions. Although the more you play the more profitable for us (because we are an affiliate website), we have always considered you do not have to spend your entire life in front of your computer, at the poker tables. Dollaro is one of the best options for the players who think it is better to choose the softest and most profitable games where you can win a lot of money and consider rakeback as a bonus, instead of trying to win neverending and tiring races.

 

Agent system payments and calculation periods

Very few Dollaro skins offer direct cashier, but it is not recommended to use it because there is a very high risk of losing your balance and winnings. So, in order to play in this network, you need an agent to facilitate your access and manage the payments. We've been doing this since we launched ItalyPokerDeals and all our customers have been paid to the last cent so far. We aim to keep things this way. Though, for the PokerStars type of professional player, handling his balance to someone else is a strange approach, so many of them avoid this network for this reason.

Dollaro activity usually ends in the last Sunday of each calendar month, when the calculation (between agencies, skins and network) period starts. During this time, all player balances are withdrawn to agency and they will be released when poker activity is resumed. Also, withdrawals can be requested during this time.

 

Lack of deals continuity

The reason why we have been working with so many Dollaro skins is that they are not able to offer continuity. The shortest cooperation with a skin lasted less than 1 week. This is because they need to balance their payments sheets and maintain a good relationship with the network. We are always trying to cooperate with several skins so we can have a backup in case one of them stops.

 

Dollaro Poker - The Special Network. Online poker El Dorado

Dollaro has always been special, all the things described above make it this way. The players who understand the advantages and assume playing in such conditions are attracted, while the PokerStars type of player won't ever join this network. For some, this is the place where they got rich and for most of the players, this is the El Dorado of poker.

 

 

DOLLARO POKER RAKEBACK

 

Dollaro rakeback deals varied a lot since the launch, depending on the skin but especially on the network situation. At some point, one could benefit from up to 50% Dollaro Poker rakeback, but nowadays, the high percentage deals are just a nice dream. The activity of the network decreased a lot during the last few years, they removed the highest stakes games and lowered the rakeback deals.

Though, rakeback has always been the 2nd incentive to play in Dollaro, the 1st one being, by far, the softness of the games. At the end of 2018, Dollaro rakeback decreased down to zero and moreover, the skins started charging withdrawal fees. Even though this is not something we like, this is how the market evolved, but the games, when available, are still soft, and nice money can be still made.

The even worse thing is that skins are able to maintain shorter and shorter cooperation in good conditions. Because of that and of the fact that we are always looking to work with skins which can offer some sort of guarantee that things will go well, we can't offer Dollaro deals every month.

Feel free to contact us for a Dollaro rakeback deal and constantly check with our team if Dollaro games are available.
