Real shame about no xl series this year when your site seems to be gaining alot of momentum

Would at least like to see 1 or 2 weekends this year have a mini series

Maybe you could tell people with how much BB they start a game before they late reg?

Getting into a 20$+ game with 4BB (with ante!) is so **** awful in terms of recreationals getting fleeced. They won't come back that easily.

-1 for big games like 215$ 350k gtd and 500$ unless your servers are ffin stable.

They haven't fix bugs that have been around for 6 years I don't think they will put a " you do realise you only have 4bb right? Are you sure?"

I think its time for a GTD increase of Volcano. 92k prizepool today @ 50k gtd.

Probably not happening but I would love if we could get country flags as avatars(for the whole table).

And also one more little suggestion, in the lobby I think it would be better/more incetive for players to show players cash-outs right next to them in the player list. I believe this is standard across the board.

agree

Agree with Erebgil, you can definitely run XL series twice per year so Nov/Dec + April/May would do better!

The Tuesday Volcano has been raised to $100,000 and The Tuesday Crocodile had been raised to $30,000 as special editions for upcoming weeks. We will consider raising others as well if we see they are doing well.

Well done with guarantee increases 888Rep.

Can you explain now why players should have to pay full rake if they decide to re-enter a tournament when the stack they will receive is 5-10BB?

Any chance you will stop raking the re-entry or reduce the rake on the 2nd entry(not sure if this is possible with software)

It's an option we offer on some tournaments but each player should do what he sees fit.

As far as I currently know there was a very short disconnection followed by players returning to the tournaments quickly which is why the suspend was not implemented. Please let support know if your experience was otherwise and if you were unable to reconnect and materially affected.
This issue was followed by players who were not connected to the client being unable to connect which we are working on right now.
Appologies for the inconvenience.

i had 27k chips with 16 left in the crocodile in a hand with top pair when i timed out. blinds were 700/1400 and i couldnt log back in until i was blinded out. i cashed for 399 but i m 100% sure my icm at the time was about twice that amount. same thing with 17k chips in the quarterback at bb600 and a stack in the monsoon. screenname is t8ofdiamonds. pelase forward this to the ppl in charge. if i dont get a proper refund i will take my business elsewhere

chip ev was 665$ in the crocodile according to my math

so refunds should be 265 + at least another 215
