Thank you for your kind words wattson.

grandsuper, as stated quite a few times before - your cashout was processed. Check the blockchain. It was processed using very low fees. We did not want to spend $20 in fees to send you $20 worth of bitcoins.

One guy can easily run all the admin-related stuff, manage tournaments and cash games, run bots, add bonuses and new games etc. etc.
You will however need a serious IT guy to run updates and add features.

We have no idea how long it will take you to break even. It could happen in one day or it could be never. We had days where 2 big players generated over 2 btc in rake, in a single day going at each other at a heads-up table. But then one of them left and we were stuck with people abusing bots and gtd tournaments. 

Hi Everyone. We are throwing in the towel with http://btckings.com

If you are interested in taking over please email as at info@btckings.com to go over the details. The price is 1 BTC. Please don't contact us to haggle or to tell us it is too expansive and then go on and explain why you think so. The price is set and we will not go any lower.

The website comes with Mavens Gold version, bots, state of the art Affiliate program, beautiful interface and almost 400 registered players. We are in the process of paying all players out, so if you buy the website, all balances will be 0 and you will have no liabilities whatsoever.

We ran a fair game, quick cashouts and had very few complaints. Please check here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2008313.0

Let us know if you have any questions.

BTCKINGS Team

Your withdraw request has been processed with Low miner fee. We did not want to spend $20 on fees just so we can send you $30 worth of btc. It will get there eventually, no worries.

The following players requested manual withdrawal, which have now been processed: grandsuper, here4trades, DuncanBuck, khomata, trader.

If you are reading this and still have chips in your btckings account make sure you email us from the email address you used when signing up and make sure you send us your btc wallet address.

About the bonus points - no, we are not going to cashout these. They were meant as a long term reward. Sorry guys.

Ok, it saddens us to say it, but we are considering wrapping it up. We know we have a good product, but we are obviously not very good at generating real traffic and attracting real players.

Those of you who have chips and cannot request a cashout because of the 5000 chips min requirement, please send us an email to info@btckings.com with your btckings handle, the amount of chips you wish to cashout and your btc wallet address. The email MUST come from the email address you used to create your btckings account - otherwise it WILL NOT be processed.

We will probably disable all tournaments and most cash tables by December 31. It was fun while it lasted, but it makes no sense for us to pursue it any longer.

We would consider selling the website if someone is willing to take over. Should you be interested please email us at info@btckings.com

Thank you all for your support!

We process withdrawals manually, within 24 hours.

We will add more tournaments soon, but we have decided to to deploy bots any more. They've lost too much money.

We believe not all was kosher with STEP tournament tickets and some players obtained those by colluding, nevertheless we will go ahead and refund all tickets.

The following players had a step5 ticket and were awarded 10,000 chips each: Aggo, here4trades, NRDL, trader, walter22
The following players had a step3 ticket and were awarded 400 chips each: grandsuper, SHowmUStGO

That's all the tickets. Simondelf, you did not have any tickets in our system, we double checked.

On another note, we're running a HORSE tournament 240+10 around the clock. We hope you guys like it.

There's glitch with our tournament schedule. Every time after a system update, all disabled tournaments seem to go online out of their own accord. We now have disabled and deleted those tournaments.

As far as bots and other promos, we're really reluctant to put more money into it. As someone already mentioned - it only creates bad traffic.

We were only considering putting the bots back. They did cost us A LOT of money, but they also generated a lot of traffic too. Anyway, we haven't decided yet.

All cashouts were processed, last request was put in 2 days ago. We are considering putting bots back.

Hi all. We were traveling over the weekend and had limited access to the internet. We have no idea how or why the STEP tournaments have been activated and we are trying to figure out.

We have again disabled the STEP tournament until we find a way to set up a reasonable pay structure without losing too much money on our end.

We will honour all tickets won by players of course and have already issued credit to all players with STEP tickets as follows:

GrowingCoins - step5 - 10,000 chips
IDoTransfers - step4 - 2,000 chips
pkhoveli - step4 - 2,000 chips
trader - step4 - 2,000 chips
DuncanBuck - step3 - 400 chips
khomate - step3 - 400 chips
ShowmUStGO - step3 - 400 chips

Thanks for signing up Owl, but our 'free 1000 chips promotion' ended a long time ago. 

Sorry for the delay rich. We're a little slower on the weekends. Your cashout request has been processed.

We have decided not to pay out the last STEP 5 prizes. Reason - obvious collusion. gaston raises preflop to 2900, another player calls, then on flop he goes all-in for 20 and the other player folds.
Not good. This WILL NOT be tolerated from now. All cashouts have been processed and we'll bite the bullet. But we have to draw a line somewhere and it will be here. No more of this BS. I know it's our fault for not spotting the glitch in the tournament payout structure and we are very grateful to those of you who pointed it out.

This has been going on for too long. One of many examples:  https://prnt.sc/h1lwct

Thanks stevrev, we appreciate it very much!

Ok, it seems that STEP tournament won't work out for us. The problem occurs when players buy in for cash - that money is automatically added to the prize pool and distributed to winning player(s) in addition to tickets to the next level.

We have disabled the STEP tournaments until we figure out how to fix this leak. The following players have been awarded chips in lieu of their step tickets:

simondelf step3, step5 = 10400 chips
trader step4 = 2000 chips
thing1 step2 = 80 chips
RulerKhan step2 = 80 chips
pkhoveli step4 = 2000 chips
New_AI_Bot step2 = 80 chips
khomata step4 = 2000 chips
grandsuper step4 = 2000 chips
DuncanBuck step 3 = 400 chips
disconected step2 = 80 chips
Aggo step 5 = 10000 chips


We will check the log for the last STEP5 tournament and award 50K, 30K and 20K chips to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Ok, we have just deleted 60 accounts that we were sure were fake. There might be a few more, but we have to be sure before deleting any account. These guys are smart they used one gmail account to open multiple btckings accounts. We only accept one registration per email address, but gmail does not distinguish between asmith@gmail.com and a.smith@gmail.com or as.mith@gmail.com etc
So they used this trick to open a lot of accounts with one email address. All these accounts have been deleted.

We are fixing STEP payouts as well. Thank you all for your suggestions and support!

20K chips added to SHARK2!

Thanks for your kind words DevSoft!

Thanks Gennady. There's indeed a glitch in the settings and for some reason the STEP 4 tournament paid both a ticket and 10K in chips. Big oversight. We really appreciate you letting us now and will add 20K chips to your account as a small token of our appreciation. What account would you like us to add money to?

Also, please let us know if you see any other leaks and we will reward you accordingly.
