Espacejeux is a big failure according to "expert" Jean Leblond.To the Journal de Montreal yesterday morning he said: "In the context where the goal is to repatriate the expenditure of tax havens, is a big failure. Poker is probably not cost-effective and good players will also spend the money they made on the back of small players. In this sense, the site becomes even a lever to accelerate the loss of money. »
Later in the article, was questioned even the security of the software.
The integrity of site, Jean Leblond, the expert quoted in the Journal de Montréal, had doubts in an article on its site after Laurence Grondin has touched some of the Bad Beat Jackpot this a few weeks ago. In the words of article:
"The person who won the hand is Sharon, the resident professional from EspaceJeux. The unfortunate player is known, on the other hand, under the pseudonym Dave Bro. In recent weeks, Dave Bro accused Sharon of cheating and plagiarism. He also complained of collusion on EspaceJeux. The charges have raised an outcry among friends of Sharon. As a coincidence, it's not bad. The consequences: chaotic. Beautiful marketing problem! "
There is no word to the effect that the site has traffic between 500 and 1000 players and that Sharon is probably the player to be more present. More it is played with hands, the more chances to win the Bad Beat Jackpot. It is not a conspiracy, it is a clearly trivial and mathematical.
It is still amazing that le Journal de Montréal did not take the time to write a somewhat more objective article on the subject. An old proverb says: "who chooses his Adviser, chooses its Board" and by choosing Jean Leblond as "expert" in the field, it was clear that comments on Espacejeux would be more negative than positive. His opinion was already known before even to express it. The drive that I would have liked to hear the opinion of other experts and not that of the first undrafted expert to quickly.
Espacejeux was at the head of the profits of 50 M$ the first year. They are instead of 20. 2 M$, what did tell Jean Leblond that site is a failure. Following this announcement, Marie-Claude Rivet, spokesman at Loto-Quebec commented: "was told that they could anticipate 50 million $ when there is a full year with a full range of products, but we are not there yet, says Marie-Claude Rivet.". And there is no time frame cast in concrete, it wants to go gradually. »
What is Espacejeux is actually a failure? Recently, I spoke with Laurence "Sharon" Gonzales because I was curious to hear his opinion on the matter. For his part, Laurence has a much more optimistic view of the site. According to her, not everything can be done in only a few months and that is why she and her team are working hard to offer players to Espacejeux a site more interesting and friendly. She commented: "need us time to develop. Currently, there are several positive points on Espacejeux. "For example, tournaments attract more people that guaranteed scholarships, satellite tournaments are working really well, the celebrity tournament is full, there is more cash than before games and a points system rewards for players has been implemented".
It also States that a software update will take place in a few months and interesting novelties will emerge. Lately, the players had requested more satellites for WSOP seats and today, there are more than before.
Whether you are expert in the field, we would love to hear your opinions on the subject.
