Since this is the official seals thread, can one of the admins comment about the 66SNG getting taken down? I found it was a great way to get drawn into using the site.
I also have one more request, can you guys set things up to allow non-integer amounts to be transfered to another player. I currently have 0.8 chips. There's no game I can buy into with that amount and I can't withdraw it either. I'd like to at least give it to someone else. What's stopping the transfer of fractions of a chip?
Lolz .80 is the equivelant of .35cents or so. People who play freerolls are not likely to deposit imo. Deposit 50 bucks and you can play 10 chip hourlys. Getting distressed over a 20 chip or less freeroll is just too lol. You aren't the only person to be up in arms.
I do appreciate the reply but I have to disagre with what you seem to be implying. Two points:
1) the price of bitcoin can change
2) a lot of dust scattered over many accounts can add up to a lot of money
On the first point, how many lolz would you have made a few years ago when a bitcoin was worth a couple of cents on the us dollar if someone complained about not being about to withdraw or transfer a bitcoin or two? Yet when btc price was over 1Kusd last year such an amount is hardly one to scoff at. IMHO if money is money, you should not say to customers "i'm sorry i'm going to keep your change just because it's too small an amount for me to worry about allowing you to access".
On the second point, if every account on seals has 0.9 chips (can't even buy into an hourly tourney), and no one can use or withdraw or transfer those chips, isn't this a bit unscrupulous of a way for seals to profit essentially by saying to customers, "I'm keeping your change, sorry."
Finally, let me add that although I tend to mainly play freerolls and low-stakes, I have indeed deposited in the past, on serveral occasions. And, to be honest, it was the existence of the hourly freerolls on the hour (back in the day) that got me into the site and online poker in general. I'm a fan of sealwithclubs, I just think that my concerns about having unspendable, untransferable amounts in my account are legit.
One of the sites programmers came on during the week xdev and said that 66 sng was taken down due to aids. I am guessing there was some sort of bug or virus and the 66 freeroll had to be taken down.
I think that none of the defintions that i know for "aids" fit here, so I'm a little lost. In any case, I saw the 66sng fr back running again last night so that was nice to see.
Cheers!
