Yea I would just like to see this whole thing take off, I know it certainly could given a chance. Vital thing is to get enough users into games. So anything I mention is with that hope basically, I've been betting esports for many years now and I could use this one for sure.
So yea I think being able to place a bet and just ponder over the choices made should be allowed before being fixed into it. The terms are familiar to any regular but new people are going to need a minute to comprehend the choice vs the rules, maybe look at that FAQ and get a sense for what is required to get 'the win' in this contest
Must buy-into contest first.
This part which pops up is opposite to that, pay first and then decide. I know people could in theory get out pencil and paper and figure it that way maybe but I think people literally are going to weigh it up on screen 90% of the time, discuss with others possibly, screencap, link. Also include mobile users who just are doing it on the go.
Also another factor is payout or if the contest never proceeds, the buy-in is returned. But if the pay is not there for a week or its tied up, it slows down users who might otherwise enter the next game. Especially those new players who are just turning over the free buy-in and getting into the site. Hopefully Im understood, its the iteration of the bets made that counts alot. I think this is common to every gamble site even if this site is unique, its the turnover of bets and players so the payout on the last game feeds into the next bet and so on.
I think that'd be a larger part of encouraging an accumulation of betting.
Hey, I am not sure If I understood everything but
concerning buy ins: u always have the possibility to change your choice of team or the match result - as long as the contest didn't start obviously. In my opinion it doesn't matter If you buy in first or If you confirm your buy in as soon as you are satisfied with your choice. However, If the community would prefer a "later" buy in it will be discussed within the team (Not speaking for the technical part, needs to be clarified If it is possible)
Second point is about pay-outs
We are aware that it needs too long at the moment in many cases and this is on top of our priority list. We already talked with our data provider and we see a good progress here. This situations should become way better soon, hopefully.
Concerning your Voucher question: vouchers are disabled at the moment due to technical reasons. Should be live again very soon
Sorry for the inconvenience.
