Some feedback and questions:
1) The mBTC units are much better. And obviously less confusing.
2) When one player sits out in a 3-handed cash game, it appears that one of the remaining players can get the button two times in a row. Can you please look in to it?
3) Most of the satellite tournaments are actually sub-satellites and it's not always clear what seat you're actually trying to win, in my opinion. I would love to have a feature where you simply could click a link within satellite lobby, which leads to the "upper-level" tournament lobby. Pokerstars does that, for instance, and it's actually really helpful.
4) The million dollar tournament in December is obviously a rather big deal. What would happen if one of your players actually took down the tournament? Are your site able to pay out 330 BTC to a single player? Can you somehow proove that you're good for it? I'm assuming that money moves around between the skins on the network. Can you tell us anything about how that process works?
5) December is a long time from now. $1M could be worth 500 or 3000 BTC by then. Is it really wise to promote the tournament as "1,500 BTC GTD" at this stage? Or are you still guaranteeing the 1500 BTC prizepool, even if the prize per BTC is $3,500 in December?
We certainly appreciate your feedback.
1. Very good to hear and we wanted to make sure that this was easily understood.
2. We are looking into this now.
3. You are right on point and we certainly understand and are working on the programming for this. We have enabled a player to simply play a few ring games, and then play two satellites to win a seat into the big Millions tourney but we certainly want to make everything clear and understand your points precisely.
4. We are certainly able to pay out 330 btc / ($200,000) to a player right now if we needed to and yes the shared tournament winnings come from the deep backing of the WPN. We hope that one of our players wins. This would be fantastic for our players and serve as exceptional promotional material for us and bitcoin. There has never been a tournament in the history of the WPN that hasn't paid out a winner.
5. We haven't been asked this question yet, but the tournament is a $1,000,000 GTD tournament and whatever the BTC amount is at that time it will always be $1,000,000 guaranteed. This GTD amount will not fluctuate with the bitcoin price. Though we believe bitcoin will be worth more than it is now, you don't point out if a bitcoin is worth less because that works against your point. Even if a bitcoin is worth $10 when the tournament is complete, this tournament will still be $1,000,000 GTD and the winner will receive $200,000 worth of bitcoins.
It is truly a remarkable opportunity for our players and we hope that one of our players wins and immediately becomes a sponsored player with the gear and other big benefits we are putting together now. Thank you.
