Regarding the argument that better players will win, yes, you are right, but that does not mean that we should facilitate abusers/cheaters with 5-6 times the starting stack. It will be very, very difficult to play against an infinite stack (who has no pressure). I mean, how many all-ins are you going to win?
I urge you to reconsider your decision as nothing good will come out of it.
I am working on it. I was doing some numbers and it's good that many people are doing POA. People started to understand that no POA, no reward. It's not always easy to control the cheaters, I can go hard but I also need to think about the interest of the sponsor too. You might notice in the first two events we did not have Antes. In the third one I added it. In the third one I noticed the game become longer so I changed the break time and the ratio of increasing the SB and BB. It's hard to prefect anything but I like to be close to perfect. It's my job.
Regarding all in and things, I think only in the last event I lost my mind and was out very early but if you saw me in the rest of the tourneys then I think everyone will agree that I did not do bad. In these type of no buy tournaments, you need to be patience and give time to mature the game. Abusers will try to suck your chips but you don't give them the chance. Again not a prefect solution but at least this worked for me. We will improve as we go, please have patience.
Just wanted to share that I turned all my freebets from this tournament prizes into real balance. I think I made almost $150 by betting my freebets from this tournament.
You are hell of a good gambler, I lost all so far LOL. Thanks for explaining to mv1986.
Of course and that is how it usually works, but the terms that Royse provided suggest otherwise. Assuming there were odds of 1.0, he is saying that you can turn your free bet into cash. But that is not the case. Since I was wondering as I experienced otherwise. Maybe what he means is just that there is no minimum requirement as for the odds, but the bet amount will be deducted.
It was just to give an idea. There are no such 1.0 odd. Even if there are, who will place a bet where there are no return? Even with the cash balance, you get your stake returned and risk losing whole amount.
The solution IMO is you personally need to verify a users info was posted before approving them to get in. Extra work but that's what you're paid to do right? Have them post on their socials, or wherever they are advertising besides here, a guide on how to be approved to play and get a prize.
It's not the extra work, it's what the sponsor wants. DGbet is happy to give as many freebets as they can and they like to see numbers.
