wow you removed almost all gtd tourneys and added touneys which nobody will play...


yep, noticed it myself  Sad

I would not have expected this move: I played a bit of them lately and noticed almost always buyins reached gtd prizes (at least for the ones I played).

I'm afraid almost no one will play them: my suggestion is to lower gtd prizes (if at the moment they are no more cost-effective as I guess) but not to remove them.

just my 2 mBTC

With the addition of the WPN shared tourneys our daily player volume has tripled and continues to grow.  Most of these tourneys are big GTD tourneys which have been a tremendous benefit to players.  Our Betcoin tourneys were somewhat popular but most times never covered therefore we were losing btc everyday before the WPN tourneys were added.  After the WPN tourneys were added, they lost even more money and as much as we want to offer these tourneys it would not be a sustainable long term business.  Other websites mentioned can't offer these tourneys because they would incur huge losses and be out of business.  Less players in our Betcoin tourneys also meant more abuse from many of the very players that emailed us asking us to keep them!  

We have more GTD tourneys that you will win bitcoin than any other bitcoin website and comparable to many fiat websites.  We know with every change we will receive complaints, but we obviously won't incur massive losses on tourneys because this is a business.  We thank all of our players for their continued support and will continue to work very hard to bring a wonderful full gaming experience.  

Understand your point of view.

Considering you quoted two posts (one of which is mine) and kindly answered us I feel the need to make things clear about the bolded statement: I never abused any of those tournament and hope you may confirm I'm not amongst the player you mentioned
