Seems like a pretty easily exploitable bug by ratholers because it completely bypasses the 5 minute rule.
I know I mentioned it before, but this is really frustrating. Two nights ago I had ~200bbs on 2 tables, ~300bbs on 1 table and ~100bbs on another (brag obv). Client crashes and has to shut down. Reopen straight away (less than 1 minute) and only one table opens back up. And I had been picked up from that table anyway and couldnt sit back down for 5 minutes, as well as the rest of the tables which were now in the lobby with a free seat, and then only for 100bbs max.
As I have said, I dont mind if Bodog wants their 5 minute rule to stop hit and runs or whatever it is supposed to stop, but if you get disconnected/the client crashes/whatever, you should be able to come back to the same table/s first of all, and
with the same stack. Having said all this, it probably has to do with anonymous players and can't be fixed, but thought I would vent anyway.
A seemingly simple solution would be that when players are disconnected and sat out (or the client crashes, or they accidently close Bodog) they are simply sat out for the normal amount of time. I assume this is something like 5 minutes. If this time passes and they haven't sat back in, they are booted from the table. If they make it back in 5 minutes, they resume their seat and stack and play on.
