I am also not really a fan of the system.
First of all I don't want to make an account at a new site and being "forced" to make a deposit and bet. I know nobody forces me but the system is kind of off. Also that the winning is just free bets which you also need to wager at least on 2.0 odds to receive the full price is also not very enticing. I mean you could bet your price on like 1.4 or something but then you would, if you win, only get 40% of your price money. Free bets always only pay the win amount, not the initial wager.
Good luck and wishing everybody fun, I will sit out this one.
You are correct in your assessment it seems. This is what I was told regarding "freebets"
Freebet concepts are pretty standard.
So for example if a user has placed a $100 freebet on a 2.5 odd event. If they win, the total winning is $250
Now since the freebet was sponsored by us, $100 from that winning comes back to DGbet and the user gets the balance $150 in the winning.
So while a user would have to wager 2.0 odds to get the full amount, they could still make an easy profit by risking 1 $10 wager, which if it wins can be cashed out. So Essentially getting a shot for free money for a super small risk.
The tourney is just a feeler as well. Tweaks can and will be made if a series is ran, so IMO it's not a bad deal for anyone honestly. You guys are obviously free to have your opinions, I guess I just don't really see the bad side.
