just spit-balling here with the jackpot thing..
one thing you could do is have a predetermined amount such as 5% to be awarded to all players actively playing/being dealt into raked games 3-handed or more according to time stamp.
People will not be able to "game" this system and the reward will be nominal for regular players but awesome for new players.
For example, let's say jackpot is 1M:
35% to loser
20% to winner
15% to remaining at table
5% to remaining at site
25% to reseed and house commission
If there are 50 players not at the JP table they would each get 1k winnings.
Thank you for the ideas. Over time we intend to upgrade the bad beat jackpot in different ways. Currently we will build in the areas of security, wallet function including lightning, improving OFC function for cash and bringing it back for tournament, new promotions like cash game leaderboards, and continue the process of fixing ui bugs in the clients. We must continue on the path of fixing main components of the game before we can get creative with changing around bad beat jackpot, but we will do it in the future.
