Our review of the games, rakeback, software, cashier and account rules that separate these two rooms.
We do not think BCPoker vs PPPoker can be settled by one percentage or a lobby screenshot. We checked the network, traffic, rakeback, cashier, software and account rules to find the differences that affect regular play.
We would start with BCPoker. The listed trust score is tied at 100/100, so we did not use it as the tie-breaker. PPPoker lists 15,000 players while BCPoker lists 0. We still see a case for PPPoker if its NLHE and PLO offering or 0% rakeback better matches the way you play.
