I found some ROI before I placed any bet today and I discovered that a game I thought would end before midnight actually ended some 30 min later. But it at least gave me some good starting ROI for today.

Games that are in-play at midnight actually increase the amount of bets required because they won't count for the day after and won't count for the day before too.

I actually gave Omikifuse1 points anyway, since it was only that one bet, and it was settled shortly after midnight (UTC). But yes, please be careful in those cases, if you're only aiming at doing the 3 bet minimum in a particular day.

Oh thank you

Hello Omikifuse, just one small correction. Those games won't increase the amount of bets required because we normally won't count them as eligible for the day the bets were place, but we do count them for the next day, when the bets were settled.

The only exception to that, as stated in the rules, is when the user could not control any sort of delay that made the bet being settled on the next day. That is of course not the case for games of soccer that start at 22h30 (UTC), because they will always end after 00h UTC (but its quite common on tennis for example).

Since this is the first week, and we don't want to "harm" our participants, we are making small exceptions so that participants get used to this. In the future, take into consideration that a bet place closed to 00h UTC, that would normally be settled on the next day, will count both as ROI% and "number of bets" for the next day, so feel free to make them knowing that.

Daily Challenge Update

Hello everyone, as usual just stop by to leave you with our #8 Daily Challenge.
It's for a Saturday so there will be plenty of games to bet out there. We are also getting close to the end of Week 1, so to reward those that will put up a fight to rank in Top7, we will be paying $10 to the player that gets more wins during the day (minimum odds @1.2).

Good luck!

#8 Daily Challenge (25^th of August)
- User with the highest number of wins for the day. Minimum odds to count for the Daily Challenge are 1.2 (25th August)


- We will announce the winner of the #7 Daily Challenge tomorrow, along with the points update of the 7^th day of our Weekly Contest.
- As usual, don't forget that you need to place at least 3 bets on any given day to qualify for points.


@All participants
We are repeating some of the most popular Daily Challenges we had on our previous editions, but you guys can always suggest new Daily Challenges to keep things fun, and if we can, we will make them.
Thank you.

Thanks for answering an making things clear

- I know you can't wear avatar, because of your rank,

  I'm the one who wasn't aware of this when I first applied to this promo cause I never ever tried to wear an avatar before now

I'm not sure if players are being notified or if Free Bets are just credited in their accounts, but I will check it with BetKing.io and let your know. I do believe players are getting some sort of notification though, because I already saw GT0Bot using at least one of his Free Bets from the Daily Challenges.
You should be getting your credit soon enough though, because Betking.io already told me that.

Until now I didn't receive anything that I'm aware of as I don't keep track of my balance and nothing is displayed under either deposits, bonus received or tips received.
Would be grateful if Betking (or also GT0Bot) may confirm how things work for sure regarding the daily $10 prize.

Good luck all.

Ok, thank you for feedback. I will finish counting points from the 24th, and then I will talk to BetKing.io about this and let you know how it works as soon as possible. I know it's a manual procedure, and they usually ask up to 48h, so it should be happening soon.

Points and Daily Challenge Update

Hello everyone, here's today's update to the Leaderboard. Remember that this first Week ends at 00h UTC of the 27th August, so you still have Saturday and Sunday to bet, in order to try to rank in our Weekly Top 7. Some decent prizes on the line, so don't waste them.

@Joca97 unfortunately this is the second time you would get points, but you failed to place the 3 eligible bets for the 24th August, and by doing that you left 14,815 points on the table. On the 20th August you also left 10.625 points on the table for the same motives. That's a total of 25.44 points total. With those points you would have 54.44 by now that would put you in a good position to keep fighting these last two days. Hope you can correct that on Week 2.

Weekly Points after the 7^th day of the competition (24^th of August)

[BetKing.io]

Hi guys

All free bets have been credited.
There hasn't been any notifications of these but I will start messaging the people on BetKing.io when I do from now.

You will see the free bet option on your bet slip if your bet qualifies for the free bet.
E.g. you have a team to win that meets the minimum odds and is pre-match, you will see a Free bet option.

Also, we are working currently to reduce our margins on tennis as well as more football (soccer) markets such as both teams to score, over/under.

I will be spending a few days next week tweaking margins so if there is a market you would like to bet on that one of our competitors has and we don't please ask and I will add to the list.
If there is a market you would like to bet on but our odds are way worse than competitors, please let us know and we will try to get that fixed asap.

Thanks to everyone who has joined so far.

[Bolt Brownie]

Confirming that I've already received my Daily Prizes Challenges!
Thanks a lot BetKing and competition managers for giving us such a great contest.

I've already made a few bets with the prize money, but I would like to know if there are any time limits for fulfilling the wagering requirements. I'm assuming there isn't because I didn't found any about that on the competition rules.

[BetKing.io]

Tennis margins should be lower now

[White sugar]

Hi? I placed some bets by mistake today. Is there any way to cancel them or at least make them not eligible for the competition?
IDs are 42904128 and 42904127 . I wanted to bet on Cagliari vs Sassuolo

I know it sounds ridiculous but I was tired and sleepy

Points and Daily Challenge Update (And announcement of winners of Week 1)

Hello everyone, here's today's update to the Leaderboard.
With this "Special Update", we now know who are the Winners of the 1st Week of our Betting Competition!

Congrats to vd309 (playing with halyos) for ranking 1st and becoming the big winner of this first week, but also a special applause for whitesugar and Omikifuse, for managing to place 2 accounts each, on our Top7 (4 of our 7 prizes goes to them, so this is quite a lot!).

Important Notes:
- We will now reset weekly points. This means that everyone will have an equal winning chance on week 2, no matter what their results of the first week were.
- Monthly points don't reset, because we also have a Monthly contest going on (along with our Daily Challenges and Weekly contests).
- Rules stay the same, so hopefully things will get better on these next three weeks, and we won't have more players not gaining points because they failed to place 3 eligible bets on any given day.

So if you didn't make it to the prizes on this first week, there's your chance now.
If you did make it to Top7 on the 1st Week, then you know you want to do it again!

Good luck!

Congrats to all weekly winners , me included  , the fun is growing day by day with this competition.
Couple of doubts/questions : saw the free bet option in my account, issued for the daily prize won some days ago, can I wait the competition end to use it?

Also, if I place a bet today and it will be settled tomorrow (because scheduled this way) does it affect negatively my today daily roi? Or will either the bet amount and eventual win be calculated in tonorrow one?

[Akarsh54692]

Hi? I have bets made before my entry whitesugar1 has been added to leaderboard, but after the competition started

id's are:
 
40150925

Nice...Let me have this on my watchlist.
I've heard an interesting project called Hostgames which is also promising and earn rewards.This platform is really recommended for betters and gamblers.

The free bets don't count on leaderboard, they are marked ineligible.
The free bets currently have a 30 day expiry time.
We could change that but the problem is that it's credited in bitcoin and so 30 days could see a $10 free bet turn in to $50 or $5

[Pif]

Thanks Dean for explaining how free bets works and why.

May you please also tell me about this part as it will affect my betting habits for competition purposes?

Hi Pif. Daily ROI% is only affected when bets are settled. So in your example, if you make a bet today that will only be settled tomorrow, it will only affect next day's ROI.

Don't forget that you need to place 3 eligible bets on any given day, in order to get points for that day. So those bets will only count for that minimum on the next day as well.

We only open exceptions to this, when bets are settled on the next day because of a delay not controlled by the user. For example, you have 2 bets settled for today, and your 3rd bet is a tennis match that was delayed for the next day because of weather conditions, or simply because other games took to long to finish. In this case, we will still award you points with only 2 bets affecting your Daily ROI%.

If you still have any doubts, please let us know.
Congrats on your wins again, and good luck!

[vd309]

Hey, I have 3 tennis bets today, 2 of them players retired and stake is returned. Is all of the 3 bets count still for the daily minimum required?
