25% of the jackpot is taken to reseed the next months jackpot.

So In September it was maybe $240,000 in the pot so they keep $60,000 of that to start this one now running.

Thanks

Source? Not one word about this in the description of The Beast.

Are you talking about the Bad Beat Jackpot, there was a reseed of 30% for the next month?

A percentage of the Beast money collected seeds the next months beast. They also take 10% rake on the beast before they payout and seed next months.

BBJ is done once it is hit (assuming high enough stakes to pay out 100%). And no they didn't add $60k. They added money to it twice; once when it launched, and once on th 1 year anniversary. They give the illusion of value, but it always comes from the players.

In both links I found not one word about that they take a certain % of each 25 cents they collect to reseed The Beast price pool for the next period and at the end of each period there is obviously no 25% cut.

If there is a 25% reseed for the next period they reduce this secretly while The Beast is running. So I still dont know from where the $60000 on 1st October came from
