Ok, thanks for clarifying that. Phew! I was worried there for a second. Sweet. I don't play tournaments much, but this is some pretty nice additional value to an already awesome VIP rakeback structure. Hard to pass up a chance to grab a share of 3 free btc.
LOL, 40,000 players and 3 free btc = LMAO!
This shows just how clueless you really are, LOL. You should just stick to trying to scam people = LMAO!
This is cool - as long as it is just an addition to the rakeback bonuses for the corresponding levels and not a replacement of the current rakeback system. I will be very upset if it is a replacement. Please tell me it's not a replacement nor will it be a replacement for the current rakeback system.
Just an addition to Junko! There will be plenty more coming as well from our great providers and it has been very exciting to see what is being worked on. Thank you for your support and feedback and good luck in the tournaments!

You're really coming off as a shill here junko.
Maybe so. And if that's how people want to view it, that's certainly their right. If expressing my opinion on the value and perks of Betcoin's VIP rakeback program bothers someone or causes them to make some sort of judgement about me, then oh well. C'est la vie. Fortunately for me, my happiness isn't determined by what random people whom I don't know on the internet think about me.
I'm certainly not bothered by all the betcoin haters out there who act like jilted, disgruntled ex-girlfriends of famous professional athletes, obsessed and hell bent on bringing down their ex-lover any way possible. I'm sure these people couldn't care less what others think of them either. So, it's all good.
Do you:
A-Think most of what I say about Betcoin is either a lie or huge exaggeration at best.
B-Believe me, but don't care since it doesn't directly affect you.
C-Not bother to figure out what's going on.
D-?
Even if you think I'm acting like a "jilted, disgruntled ex-girlfriends of famous professional athletes, obsessed and hell bent on bringing down their ex-lover any way possible", so what?
Look at the facts. You think Betcoin should be allowed to get away with all the shit they try to pull by simply ignoring it?
They do.
Edit:
I remembered a while back we interacted in this thread. Ironically I asked you pretty much the same thing then as I did just now. You responded and were much less insulting then.
How do you feel about the issues which have been brought up over the past several pages of this thread?
Did you read them?
Do you not believe they happened? Or do you think it's acceptable?
Not trying to attack you, just not understanding how or why so many are choosing to endorse Betcoin because they they don't have issues with withdraws/offer WPN tourneys/have low rake etc...while acting as if none of the problems within the thread even exist. If you don't believe me, or think theyre no big deal I would understand, but why not say so? If you want to do some good for Betcoin, prove I'm wrong.
Since your beef seemed directed at Betcoin, I purposefully stayed out of it all since I'm sure Betcoin is capable of fighting its own battles in their own way. That and I didn't want to directly muck up your course of action by posting comments which might be taken as trolling. But since you appear to be calling me out by quoting me, I'll go ahead and bite. (Not in the mood to do anything else right now since my Dallas Cowboys lost ugly today.)
How do you feel about the issues which have been brought up over the past several pages of this thread?I do think pretty much all of the issues you and others have brought up are very valid. It's no joke anytime reputations, integrity and money is involved/at stake.
Did you read them?Yes.
From the no collusion freeroll, a cheater getting a second chance, BBJP funding, missing status points, ddos cheaters, noncompensations for funds lost due to cheaters, the wpn satty points issue, let's see, what else, deleted posts/threads on the betcoin.ag community forums, shill posts in the community forum and here on bitcointalk, how all these issues have been handled by support via tickets, support chat, community chat, community forum threads/posts.
There may be more so forgive me if I'm missing anything else.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I gather, you don't have a problem as much with the actual mistakes made, but moreso with how they are/were handled by betcoin staff, reps and support. At least that's what I remember reading in some of your posts.
Do you not believe they happened? Or do you think it's acceptable?I do believe the issues you brought up occurred. The initial mistakes themselves, I can accept. How these initial mistakes were subsequently handled, I do find somewhat dubious in some aspects. So I would lean towards the way some things were handled as being unacceptable. In other cases, without going into detail, I have no opinion either way.
However, just because I do find the way some things were handled to be on the unacceptable side, it doesn't mean that going forward that these blemeshies can't be learned from, improved upon, remedied and taken care of with a more positive resolution for all those concerned if and when other similar or nonsimilar issues crop up in the future. That's how I reconcile my continued play at Betcoin.ag aside from all the positive things that they offer their players.

If you want to do some good for Betcoin, prove I'm wrong.How and why I am I choosing to endorse Betcoin other than because of all the pros and in light of the issues you bring up? I'll repeat what I just wrote above: However, just because I do find the way some things were handled to be on the unacceptable side, it doesn't mean that going forward that these blemeshies can't be learned from, improved upon, remedied and taken care of with a more positive resolution for all those concerned if and when other similar or nonsimilar issues crop up in the future.

Form whatever judgments and opinions of me for continuing to give Betcoin my action as you wish, anyone is certainly entitled and welcome to do so.
As far as proving you wrong, I feel no compelling need or desire whatsoever to do so. If your intentions with this whole endeavor are genuinely in the name of helping out the poker community and not because you are butthurt, then more power to you. If your crusade helps those for whom the issues you bring up about Betcoin are a dealbreaker as far as choosing a poker site where they will be happy, then good on ya too. Respect.
Fyi, my intentions have always been and will be "in the name of helping out the poker [and bitcoin] community"
I've gone after Fortunejack, fun-casino, directbet, betchain, btc-casino, betcoin.tm and others for unethical behavior over the last year as well.
I believe sites like Betcoin are doing serious damage to the rest of the worlds perception on bitcoin gambling and they couldn't do it without help from people like you.
@TwitchySeal:
My response and answer to your questions A, B, C and D is pretty much the exact same as what I posted in the old quote of mine from before which you included in your "Edit" addendum above.
Re: "Even if you think I'm acting like a "jilted, disgruntled ex-girlfriends of famous professional athletes, obsessed and hell bent on bringing down their ex-lover any way possible", so what?"That's my point, so what? So what if I insinuate that's how you and others come across at times? So what if you think I'm a shill for posting a positive opinion of betcoin's rake program. Different people will have different views and opinions on others based on what they perceive. That's life. So what? Exactly.
Re: "Look at the facts. You think Betcoin should be allowed to get away with all the shit they try to pull by simply ignoring it?
They do."I don't think that at all. Again, I would refer you to my quote from the past which you brought up.
Re: "I remembered a while back we interacted in this thread. Ironically I asked you pretty much the same thing then as I did just now. You responded and were much less insulting then."Well, when someone insults me first out of the blue (in this case, calling me a shill for my giving some positive feedback) sometimes even though I may say I couldn't care less, I still feel compelled to respond in kind. And speaking of that earlier interaction you brought up, notice how from even before and since then, I have never tried to interfere with your crusade against betcoin. Never have I tried to discourage you in any way from doing your thing. I've never tried to talk you down or discredit or mock you (until recently ofc after you insulted me first).
I mean, I'm sure you'll fact check me on that and go through all my 1K+ posts if you haven't already and if you do find where I'm wrong, I will stand corrected. But believe me, despite my lashing out back at you in my last post, I have never had any problems with you and others doing what you do in terms of betcoin - again, as I outlined in my old post which you quoted. Not then, not now, nor will I ever. We may not see things the same way, or agree on how certain things should be or should be seen by others, but in general, I'm not going to get in the way people doing what they feel they need to do, whatever their reasons and motives may be. As I have said before, I'm sure betcoin is fully capable of fighting their own battles for themselves in their own way as they see fit.
** And alright, I've thought about it for a bit while making this post and I do apologize to you, Twitchy for insinuating you act like a disgruntled ex-girlfriend. It was pretty rude of me and not very constructive or necessary. I do get what you are trying to do (at least I hope I do). So again, I am sorry and I do sincerely apologize for that.
