Even the big Bad Beat Jackpot went off twice in a day at least once or twice at that requirement.


Just saying, but since they changed it, it has hit 0 times..for both BBJ. lol.

It actually hit once and was supposed to hit at least one other time for the big one after they changed it to the quad queens requirement. You might have heard about the controversy with the 2nd. In the end that one was paid out as well.

It seems I was certainly wrong about the frequency at which the Boost Jackpot would pay out at those requirements.

The stolen vip points from customer accounts is worthy of a major news article at this point, and as a warning to potential new customers. Advertisers should be notified as well.

Are the points worth in the $millions in total? They might be barely surviving and this could put the over the edge if they had to exchange the points.

Hi WantToknow1,

I understand your frustration, but Betonline has not stolen anything.
They released a statement regarding the VIP points.

You may not realise, but we recently paid out the BBJ on top of the money being accumulated.
Not the sign of a company trying to steal from its customers, when BetOnline could easily have not paid the mucked hand.

We also just increased our weekly withdrawal limit.

The communication on this situation was not the best and I understand your frustration.

Kind regards

Mike

Hi BumbleBTuna, Its the same statement released earlier.

I have heard some good news about a rake back/vip scheme but its only rumours at the moment.

I hope the new ideas come to fruition soon.

Kind regards

hahaha, using the phrase "vip scheme" is pretty spot on right now. Hopefully we get some good news soon.
06-21-2020 , 10:46 PM
If you announce a new scheme, please put in rules/regulations

"BetOnline reserves the right to take away full value of already earned points at any time"

It updates in real time.

Any reason why the bad beat jackpot payouts lowered for all players?
06-22-2020 , 11:51 PM
Where are you seeing a change in the payout shares? I see the same ones that have been there for a while now on the BetOnline website.
  • 20% player with Bad Beat
  • 15% winner of the hand
  • 12.5% players at the table
  • 12.5% players at other BBJ tables
  • 35% reseed
  • 5% fee

Just to close the loop on this, I believe that it was an error as it has been corrected since I last viewed it.

I noticed the rake races are by stake now.

I just wish that the e-mail notification went out before it started instead of 3 days after (lol)

Nonetheless, it's a big step in the right direction.
07-04-2020 , 12:28 AM
Rake races are a very dumb idea IMO and I wish you would put your efforts elsewhere like just giving rakeback or VIP points.
they do not incentivize casuals to play more.
they encourage excessive play which is physically and mentally unhealthy.
they encourage the teaming/cheating of having multiple people manning the same account.
finally, they benefit and encourage the development of bots.

if you want to see how races and leaderboards inspire irrational volume, look no further than the $5k casino leaderboard where it's already -EV to try to accumulate points and is only going to get worse by sunday.

(unless these regs that are usually on the SNG leaderboard also normally play table games, then i guess this is just a nice bonus....)

Any tiger promotions?

There was a fairly obvious leak in the rules last week that based on the new SNG rules, probably won't be there this week. I finished 4th for over $500.

Hi UncleJAthletics,

What was the issue with the leaderboard and is it still occurring?
You can send me a private message if you prefer?

Kind regards
