Free Betting Competition $6000 in Prizes Sponsor: Betking.io (Discussion Thread)

[FrueGreads]

Important Update

Hello everyone, As some have already noticed, we are having some small issues with our live leaderboard.
I would like to apologize for that, and assure you that we are doing everything we can to solve those problems as soon as possible.´

In the meanwhile I think it's best to pause the Competition for a while, until everything gets solved.

BetKing.io devs are working on these issues, so hopefully it wont take long.

You guys can still place bets, and that will probably help us with the debug process, but right now, bets made after the 18th August at 00h Forum time, are not counting for the competition until we make another post announcing that the problems are solved.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience, but these things happen sometimes.
Thank you for understanding.

Will the first daily challenge and points still count?

In the end it is good because I still can participate

Yes, bets made on the 17th should still count. We will only ignore bets made after the 18th 00h forum time, or on worst case scenario we can ignore bets made after my announcement, pausing the competition (18th at 01:12:04 AM).

Also, yes, you can still register for the competition. Since the majority of our prizes are Daily or Weekly, we will always keep registration open, so that users can join us.

Well looking at the leaderboard you should probably be the winner of the first Daily Challenge, but we can't tell for sure because there are some users that are not getting their bets into the leaderboard, and others that are getting their bets marked as invalid when they should be valid (mostly parlays and bets with odds bellow 1.5).

Even on your profile there are some bets that are eligible but are not being counted for the competition. Most of them are more wins, but there are two losses as well, so we need to count everything right.

We don't know if that will make a difference or not, so we can't announce the winner of the first Daily Challenge right now since we need to check users daily ROI% (only of bets from the 17th) once everything is solved.

Hi Joca97, thanks for reporting. Do you think you could add the IDs of those bets that you made on the 17th that were not added to the leaderboard at all? You can post them here, or just pm us the IDs. Thanks, and again, sorry for the inconvenience.


Competition is still paused as the leaderboard issues are being solved.
Like I said on my last update, only bets made on the 17th (the first day of the competition will count for the Competition).
Right now, you can still make bets, but those should be excluded until we fixed these problems. We will only use them for debug purposes.

Thanks for understanding.

[FrueGreads]

Hello guys, I would just like to inform you that I will be away for a few hours, but on worst case scenario I will be back at 21h Forum Time.

Feel free to keep placing doubts and reporting problems if you have them, either by posting them here or sending them by pm. I will get back to them as soon as I get back online.

In the meanwhile, if you don't mind, it would be great if you placed a few parlays with your competition accounts, and a few single bets with odds bellow 1.5, so we can see if those issues are solved now.

Like I said before they won't count for the competition, and are just for testing purposes. You don't have to do it (since you would be betting with real money), but it would help us checking if those problems are already solved.

Thanks.

Hi guys
Just an update.
We're currently fixing all issues that FrueGreads sent us. We should have that done before end of today.
We have to go back and fix the bankroll and odds issues for previous bets too.

Sorry for the delay. Will post here when all ready again.

Nice to see you are working on it and decided to give it a break : wise decision pausing the promo and have everything working properly.

Thanks hopenotlate. As usual we are doing our best, and I'm very confidant that this will continue to be one of the Best Betting Competitions of this forum. If I'm not mistaken we actually created the first real betting competition here, and we intend to keep it great.

I don't remember seeing you in our edtitions with directbet, so if you like betting I hope you can join us for the first time with our new Sponsor: Betking.io. Our prizes are great (over $2000 monthly) and registration is actually free (you just need to make normal bets according to our competition rules).

Registration will remain Open during the entire month, so do ahead and join us in our Registration Thread

Made changes to the leaderboard if users would like to check their bets now.

If everything is fine and FrueGraeds gives the green light then bets will count from the 19th onwards (1.5 hours away from this post)

[FrueGreads]

Important Update

Hello everyone, as stated by BetKing.io (in the post before this one), things seem normal now, and we will Resume the Competition.
All bets placed (and settled) during the 17th will count for the Competition, and we will exclude the ones placed during the 18th since the competition was paused.

The competition will resume on the 19th at 00h Forum Time (less than 1h30min from this post).


Points for the 17th will be published tomorrow (don't forget you need to make at least 3 bets on any given day, to qualify for points)

The First Daily Challenge winner was bitbollo (playing with BetKing.io account fedetwins). He won a $10 free bet! Congrats! (we will inform you on how to claim this prize soon).

To everyone, don't forget that we are giving away $10 every day as part of our Daily Challenge Series! (it's a total os $310 a month, so don't waste it guys)

The next Daily Challenge (for the 19th August)
- Winning single bet or parlay with highest odds

Good luck!

Just to be clear: what's the minimum odd for the bet be counted in the competition?

Hello White sugar. Thanks for asking.
There is no minimum odd requirement for a bet to be valid for this competition.
We will have minimum odd requirements for the prizes to be wagered, and that was the reason why we had this problem.

All should be fixed by now, so please make normal bets for the competition, and we will keep monitoring things. If you find any problems please let us know so we can fix them.

Good luck!

Hi FrueGreads! Nice to be the winner of the first daily challenge!
Anyway since 18th bets will not count, can you upgrade league table with ROI % (Yesterday) with 17th Aug data?

Hi bitbollo, that column is automatically feed by the competition script, and we can't change it. I did kept the records since I need to update the points for the first day (will be published tomorrow and then updated to the leaderboard), so I can publish the points tomorrows along with the ROI% for the 17th (first day of the competition).

As for your prize, I will have new information for you soon.
Since you are not wearing any incentives for the wagering requirements, it will be a $10 free bet (means stake is not refunded and you only get your profits if your win), and it needs to be placed @1.5 or over.

Hello White sugar, just saw this now, but everything seems ok right now. I have no indication that this problem lasted for a long period of time, so I guess everything was ok with the second day of the competition.

Daily Challenge Update

Hello everyone, I still can't announce the winner of the #2 Daily Challenge (19th August) because we have a few more hours for this betting day to end (end at 00h Forum Time, or UTC if you prefer to use the official time zone term), but I will announce our #3 Daily Challenge for the 20th August.

#3 Daily Challenge (20th August)
- Player with the highest number of wins for the day (either single bets or parlays). Minimum odds to count for the Daily Challenge are 1.2

Again, don't forget that for the Daily Challenges series you just need to win the challenge, but in order to win points for the Weekly and Monthly contests, you need to place at least 3 bets on any given day to qualify for points.

Good luck!

[u9y42]

And here are the results for the second Daily Challenge: the participant with the bet won at the highest odds was GT0Bot, with the following bet: https://betking.io?betId=41275199 (won at 4.42).

Congrats GT0Bot! You just won a $10 Free Bet - we'll announce how you can claim this soon.

Unfortunately yesterday missed to place the daily three btes becasue I thought fixing the leaderboard issues would have taken more time than it did and was away from PC.
Then at late night I logged in to discover everything was fixed and competition was restarted: placed two bets but the second one was already late ( have a look yourself if you like: leaderboard name Pif).
 
As you can see I also place several bets on 18th when promo was suspended because you stated it wuould have helped devs in catching the bugs and then took a break from it but overestimated time needed.

Hope you can make an exception, considering the exceptional circumstances in which it happened, but will understand if you decide not to do.

Hello Pif, I understand and considering the problems we had on the first day, it's more than fair to remove the betting restrictions for the second day of the competition (the 19th August). We will do it for everyone, so as long as participants made bets during the 19th, they will be eligible for points.

Everything will be treated normally on the 3rd day though (the 20th of August), so don't forget you need to make at least 3 bets during the 20th August in order to be eligible for points for the #3 Betting Day of our Competition.


We will publish the points for the #1st and #2nd Day of the Competition today!
Good luck!
