I appreciate your suggestions, we will look into this for the next one. We didn't want to alienate any bitcointalk user who might already have had a CoinPoker account already, but you make a very good point. I'll take your comments onboard for next week and will only share the password closer to the start of the tournament.
With only 13 players registered, there's still some great value, and we're not expecting it to reach 3000 players.
Just on how you can make it exclusive to forum members, create a separate thread on game and rounds board here in gambling section and dedicate it for the enrollment of players that want to join by posting the application form on that specific thread.
Just DM the passcode of the table on the users that apply and make sure to check if all the usernames that apply match on the actual number of participants to avoid cheating of multiple account.
I think I can join on this freeroll tournament. I hope there will be no proxy/bot players on this tournament.
This is a very valid suggestion - unless you’ll be okay with people joining with multiple accounts then you should consider this advice and see whoever shares his code with anyother account (if you decide to make the code unique for each accounts) that way you should be able to fish out those using multiple account to cheat the free rolls.
Not that if you just decide to share it publicly that they’ll be some that will want to create more account and see what they can get from the free rolls. The advice @AbuBhakar gave you will reduce the number of cheats but it will also reduce the number of participants because some might be hesitant to fill form to get the code.
As for the tournament, I’m not going to participate in this one - as I don’t yet have an android device to get the app needed.
