Do you know what happened to RW? He is not active anymore for consecutive days or I'm just sleeping whenever he is active?
He's there. Took a break. A few big ones did that, you'll see them appearing in chatbox every now and then.
By winning these contests you receive 0.50 mbtc in each table... it is very very easy for someone to play this amount in the meantime so it is not a real advantage that you can exploit.
it's probably a bug in the system but as mentioned I don't think it provides any kind of tangible advantage to the player who wins the contest nor any disadvantage compared to the other players participating
Not the amounts I was talking about, I mean most of the times I've just placed enough to get 1k or 2k sats, I do that just for fun. Play a couple hands of blackjack, win those amounts, and it even enters me into the next rounds, come back after a few hours and I've got an extra 0.1 mbtc or so.
I don't think it's a bug, just an overlooked reward and pays off for those active is all.
