Am curious to see if it happens today as well. Should be around 22:00 Amsterdam time right?

They said 'within 72 hours' the next morning. Thus we should have our money back tomorrow. https://twitter.com/PokerStars/statu...12110305579009

Twitter said today, about 7h ago(in conversations with some users)

received my ICM stack value from Sundays $16.50 Bounty Builder tournament today so just wanted to post in here to say be patient and I believe everyone will receive fair compensation

i received 2 refunds from sundays disconnect, 17 and 9 minutes ago, not all of them yet, they are doing one at a time.

no emails yet with details of the refunds

I received my refund ! I think its right i will wait for a email.

My total on pokerstars has increased by roughly the amount of the buy in that tournament it told me I finished during my disconnection.

I was a little above average in a $22.00 buy in and they credited me around $24.00. I have not received any notification in email however so if also could have been some sort of recalculation for the two tournaments I was in that that did credit an amount for me. In any event I got something more, lol.

i was in 12 tourneys and they only credited me for 2, their twitter said that all refunds have been paid out. my earlier post was wrong.

I had an issue on Sunday with one tournament aswell (Mini Sunday Million).

On Monday morning I received a refund of 57.28$. My Stack when Tournament paused was 18393 Chips (what they used to calculate it).

I wrote them that I had around 50k Chips (thats what my PT4 says) before the disconnecting issues started.

Yesterday i received $22.16 as a GWC.

This doesnt seem to be correct/ makes sense to me.... maybe i am biased....

/EDIT: so the math is like this:

At the time of cancellation there were 2704 players remaining, and your chip count was 18,393.00. Total chips in play were 99,750,000.00.

Prize pool to be divided equally: USD 199,500.00 / 2 = USD 99,750.00
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: USD 199,500.00 / 2 = USD 99,750.00

Your share in money equally divided: USD 99,750.00 / 2704 = USD 36.88
Your share based on chip count: USD 99,750.00 * (18,393.00 / 99,750,000 .00) = USD 18.39
Your entry fee refunded: USD 2.00

Your share based on chip count: USD 99,750.00 * (50000.00 / 99,750,000 .00) = USD 50.00

So i should have received around 10$ more.

Obv i dont care about 10 bucks, but its not a "fair" share.

received my buyin back yesterday as a GWC

No, because you're forgetting that many players busted during disconnect that do get compensated now. It seems likely that lowered the payout to be divided equally by $10 (= ~25% of the players busting during disconnect).

Maybe its time the department of Justice pays another visit to Pokerstars and asks them why this happened and starts investigating why employees made these desicions and what connections they have to these countries. It can’t be more obvious countries not effected are perpatrators. Also, how can a company keep rakes in games cancelled like spin and go? Amaya getting what it deserves with drastic stock decline last few weeks

I know PS has some grossly incompetent employees in some positions, or that Amaya is deliberately understaffing departments in order to book a profit, but that is conspiritard territory.

The ones doing this obviously don't do it so one of their buddies gets to win a few donkaments. The coordination needed and the risk associated to it is just not worth it. If a select few people are able to ship let's say a million, the whole situation draws so much attention they can't withdraw it without investigation. PS employees do not purposefully resume tournaments so their criminal buddies can make a buck.

What's most likely happening is some individuals with bot networks are taking PS hostage and will at some point demand a ransom. PS employees do not need to be involved for this to work.

Lee Jones agarwal kahtri.

what has Lee Jones done for the Poker community in terms of transparency and PR in the last...5 years? Besides play holdem on twitch for pokerstars pokerschool dressing like a trying to be hip grandad in front of an audience 45 people

Nothing to say for paying customers getting screwed by your employer Lee?

Surprising to see no reactions to Stars actually admitting to being attacked by DDoS.

They have been attacked by DDoS in the past too but this is the first time they confirmed this. Perhaps partypoker is the reason?

Also, I'm wondering if partypoker actually paid some ransom to the attackers. PokerStars websites are still broken - so they are still trying to resolve it.

Because it's not a surprising reveal?

I better check this out!

Yes but its the first time they actually admitted it.

It makes sense since I don't believe this has ever happened on this scale. The other explanation would be gross incompetence on their part and I think they want to put that hypothesis to sleep.

Nah I remember something similar to this happened on Stars in 2015.

PokerStars at that time never admitted of being attacked by DDoS.

Good to see them being open and transparent over something like this, even if it was awfully delayed.
