Thx for the thanksgiving freerolls.

I have one suggestion, make the registration to the tournies eligible to players only tagged to rtr as an affiliate. The passwords can be found easily on the web and I think I remember some rtr freerolls on carbon not having pw's, just rtr players were eligible. This might not be possible on other sites tho.

Nothing major just a suggestion. Thanks again

edit: I see you do that on cake

Hey Go thanks for the feedback.

It's a tricky one to be honest. You see we want as many members of ours to be able to take place - even if they have accounts through other affiliates.

Also different rooms have different processes for registering freerolls etc. Some can do it members only...and some can do it but only for members who signed up at least 48 hours prior...so then that excludes new sign ups so we end up with complaints etc.

Do you think player would be interested in tourneys which had a small buyin and money added? This would deter the free-loaders who dont want to pay...but it might put off our members also.

Of course as you know, these are just a bit of fun to alleviate the boredom of being stuck with the family for 4 days. As much as we love em...we need a break every now and then!

Anyhow, thanks again for the feedback and have a great weekend

Best wishes

Why was the password removed from the RTR freeroll at Cake tonight? It went from a tourney that would have had about 150 players to a tourney with almost 1000 players.

Alot of RTR members at the tables were not happy about this.

Hey DT

The password was not removed.

The problem with password tourneys is that people leak them...or guess them
This was the only way we could set them up to ensure that all our members got to play in them when they registered at the 4 rooms last minute...

These tourneys are just a little bit of extra fun we have laid on over the holiday. If we happen to make a few extra people happy then so be it
Hopefully they all sign up and then we can have more freerolls in the future

Well, the freerolls are much appreciated, but I don't understand your answer. The tourney at Cake on Thursday was password protected with approximately 120 players in it. If it worked just fine on Thanksgiving, then what was the difference for last night's tourney and the one running tonight? The passwords were posted well in advance of the tournaments. I don't see how there could be an issue with RTR members not getting the password. It's really simple.

Hey DT

Thanks for the post.

We aren't saying that RTR members couldn't play. What we are saying is that there are many sites dedicated to finding freerolls and hacking the passwords etc and then releasing them to their members. And that is what is happening at Cake.

So unfortunately it was unavoidable on this occasion. We could have limited the freeroll to players who had registered prior to say last Monday...but then that would have prevented members from signing up at the other rooms to be able to play.

Hope that's a bit clearer

Ah, I understand where the confusion lies now. RTR doesn't know what actually happened last night. Cake removed the password on the RTR freerolls for last night and tonight. All Cake users could register last night and can register tonight. I guess you didn't know about this. It looks like Cake screwed this up.

Hey DT

There's no confusion on our part or Cake's. Some people were being asked for passwords and some weren't. We tried to register and it asked us for a password. These tournaments were always about being able to let any RTR member enter and because of that they had to be password protected. Why some people were asked for a password and some weren't we don't know. That's a Cake technology issue.

Hope that clears it up

Bull****..

Cake denied any involvement with the password protection being removed.

[DrunkenTilt]

That's why Cake says they had nothing to do with it. Shady, shady, shady....

This **** is sad and pathetic.

My friend you are of course entitled to your view

We have talked to our affiliate manager at Cake and he certainly didn't remove the password feature. If one of the Cake support team did it we don't know. But as i have said it definitely asked me for a password last night!

This really isn't the "freerollgate" you want it to be...!
There's no grassy knoll, and there's no magic bullet.
It was just some freerolls to help pass the time over the holiday weekend.
They were supposed to be about fun, turkeys and hoodies.
And you're kinda crushing the holiday spirit

The 'sign-up now' button for carbon on your website didn't seem to work, so I decided to just go to their website and use the RTR750 code to link it to my RTR account. The button still doesn't seem to work, so maybe you can manually link the accounts? I can pm you the nickname I have on there.

Regarding the cake freerolls over the weekend, only the one on Thanksgiving actually needed a password. For the other 3, anybody could register, which is probably why 1300+ players registered.
