@Betwrong it was hard for me to get it at first, as well.
You get points purely based on ROI for the day compared with other players ROI. At current number of players the best ROI for the day gets 16 points.
2nd best gets 15, 3rd gets 14 and so on till 1 point is given.

Then if your ROI is positive you get additional points (ROI/2) - so imagine you have 3rd best ROI for the day and 3.5% ROI you will get 14 points + 3.5/2 = 15.75 total points.

If your ROI is negative but you still rank in the top 16 you will get points based solely on your daily rank, without the additional ones.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the extra explanation. I'd roughly assumed on daily checking of my points that I'd only earn if I had a settled bet plus positive ROI, since I didn't get any points on the days I had negative. So you basically get points based on rankings... And it's possible to still get negative ROI and rank.

Conversely you could still get positive ROI but no points if you still end up below 16th in rankings, then?

True, you won't get any points - even the bonus points since you have to be ranked to get those. Other limitation is that the bonus points can't be higher then normal ones - imagine you ranked for 5 normal points and have 12% roi - you will only get 5 more bonus points not 6 ( 12/2)

So far enjoying the competition, probably won't rank very high at the end of the month, but have to say, despite the initially complex rules, it's getting a fair bit of participation here from the regulars, which is something I was really struggling with when trying to hold my own previous attempts. So perhaps simpler rules which I tried was not as attractive as the incentive to be active daily, which is what I'm noticing is working here.

Still, I may do well if future parlays work out (that's my betting style, with a low percentage of winning bets but high value wins) so will still try to do my best for the remaining 2 and a half weeks. Enjoying it so far, good work guys

I have still yet to receive any of my free bets.

I have still yet to receive any of my free bets.

Hmm, as far as I know, all prizes up to October 17 (including your second prize) were paid on that day. We were told that, because of the initial delay in crediting the prizes, they would have no wager requirements nor any need for users to click "Free Bet" to obtain them.

I will ask BetKing to confirm it anyway but, in the meantime, could you please double check that your prizes were never credited? Thanks.

Just checked and yes it is credited as betting balance not freebet. Mine was credited in the separate account which was asked to be made in the end of the last competition for the weekly/monthly prizes. So check those one guys, I was forgot about it. GL

I've been looking out for the free bet notification when logging in. It looks like it was added to my balance and I didn't notice.

Perhaps a notification can be added to tell people there's been an addition to their balance, similar to the free bet one previously?

Sorry guys; it was our fault for not informing you properly that the prizes had already been credited.

Important Update

Hello everyone, this update is probably coming a little late, but I think it's important to make it anyway.

As you know, Daily Challenge prizes were facing a payment delay. Because of that, and to compensate you for your wait, Betking decided to pay all prizes in the form of "Betting Balance", regardless of the incentives your were wearing.

They were also kind enough to pay them with no restrictions, so you can even use those prizes to bet for our competition.

Again, sorry for the delay in the prize payment, and in this announcement as well.
Hope you are pleased with this decision from BetKing though.

If you have any questions, please let us know.


Only the first 9 Daily Challenge were paid this way.
The other Daily Challenge should be paid normally.

Yes, I can confirm that I received my winnings directly to my balance on Betking.io. This very convenient because now I can make many bets with the money instead of just one, as was specified by the rules. Yes, I'm very pleased with this decision from BetKing. Thank you!

#11 Daily Challenge Winner
The winner of the 11^th Daily Challenge, "user with the highest Daily ROI%", was vd309 (entry moji2) with a ROI of 10.6721%. Congrats vd309! That's another $30 Free Bet for you.

We all know that coming up with 10+% daily ROI is not something one can easily achieve. Congrats vd309! You deserved your prize. Good job!

[vd309]

@Betwrong thanks. I might go wild today and chase the most wins for the day again. GL

Points and Daily Challenge Update (And announcement of winners of Week 2)

Hello everyone, here are the Winners of the 2nd Week of our Betting Competition!

Congrats to all winners, but specially to vd309. After being the big winner on our First Edition of this competition, he managed to show his presence again on Week 2 (with 2 entries!). Since he is using a $500 bankroll on each entry, his efforts will be well rewarded with these prizes!

Once again Mapagmahal, Omikifuse and whitesugar continue showing consistency by grabbing a few more prizes after Week 2. Congrats for that as well.

It's always nice to see how competitive this Week was!

Week 3 is already in progress.
Remember that everyone will have a fresh start to grab our prizes, since Weekly Points reset every week.
Good luck!

Important Notes:
- We will now reset weekly points. This means that everyone will have an equal winning chance on week 3.
- Monthly points don't reset, because we also have a Monthly contest going on (along with our Daily Challenges and Weekly contests).
- Prizes will only be paid in the end of the month, since we need to ensure players fulfill the minimum volume betting requirements.
- We keep track of past winners on our dedicated post for our Weekly contests: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4854169.msg43757706#msg43757706

Hello, if checked the leaderboard correctly, I believe I won the daily challenge yesterday, and I would like to receive my prize on the account patt01
Thanks

[buwaytress]

Ah, great run guys for week 2. Did my best and would have won a bit more except that I placed some bets on other bookies with slightly better odds but still happy with progress.

Still have an issue with betting from mobile though... No computer access today so couldn't place any bets - I get the same error "no bets accepted from your country". Might try a different browser tomorrow.
