BTCKINGS - bitcoin only poker site

[CircularLoGic]

and btckings in STEP 5 in the Tournament Info is Prize bonus: 100.000 chips that mean 100k add as bonus, that mean pricepool added 100k and if now 10 people join the tournament with ticket is the pricepool 0+100k added but if 10 people join with 10k each that mean pricepool 100k added 100k =200k?

my opinion: yes. example with latest tournement was today:

1 player paid 10.000+800, 9 players entered with tickets
price bonus: 100.000 chips
total price pool: 110.000 chips

3 winners got: 1st 55k, 2nd 33k, 3rd 22k

Lastest Step 5 tournament went like this :

1 player 0

2 player 0

3 player 0

I think admin should test before launching tournaments like that, check every step before making it fire, ask your team to help out.

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.

Thanks stevrev, we appreciate it very much!

[btckings1]

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

interesting... if gaston_ had went all in preflop, he would have had to face a showdown. it looks like he kept 20 chips to raise on the flop, thereby maximizing the amount of chips he could extract from SHowmUStGO, and in doing so avoided the showdown. SHowmUStGO chose to fold 2 pair instead of calling the minimum bet, in spite of being the chip leader... this sort of obvious collusion is poison to a poker room. BTCkings has been more than fair with players taking advantage of weak bots and having multiple accounts. I've cashed out over 100 mBTC, a vast majority of which came from playing against the bots. so I'm not exactly innocent in all of this.. but one thing I haven't done is cheat my fellow players. BTCkings has a lot of potential. let's all try to issue a little restraint and not piss in the pool.

thus concludes my morning rant..

[cjmoles]

Hmmm.  Yup ---> could see it from a mile away.  My roommate, who's a novice poker player and a newbie to the blockchain, has been playing here for awhile now grinding what little bit she won from the freerolls back when they still had them and her trick was to avoid playing with some of the aforementioned individuals because she swears that they were working together ---> she still plays and enjoys the site very much so I hope the problems get resolved because playing on the site everyday day is a large part of her daily routine.  She loves it and talks about her experiences at the tables every single morning!  She's never tried to cash out because she still don't quite understand the whole blockchain concept, but she surely does enjoy playing with everyone on the site.

username dogballs,

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

Hi folks can I exchange my tickets from steps directly to chips to play at the tables ? I don't see the steps tournaments working good that's what we'r talking in da chat on  btckings software.

Hi folks can I exchange my tickets from steps directly to chips to play at the tables ? I don't see the steps tournaments working good that's what we'r talking in da chat on  btckings software.

hi, i don't know if there is such option to exchage your tickets to chips, but i see tournements are working good especialy for you/your team as won pretty much chips together tickets already (as before).

i remember at step3 tournement had paid out 2000 chips + ticket for step4 to 1st winner earlier today which table i had finished 2nd.
as i see, only latest step3 tournement which i was winner, without chips (player name betudntbet had asked the reason in game chat before all your teams logout), most probably all was registered that tournement with tickets (without buy-in)

between, this is "trader"

[btckings1]

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

[stevrev]

I know it's only been a couple of hours, but I would really appreciate it if you could process my withdrawal.

thanks
