15k guaranteed with 5k overlay is nice but does anyone know what the current exchange rate is for tournaments? I'm on mobile.
It looks like WPN tourneys that are in USD are converted in real time each second now.
You cannot be serious. How and why would you ever think that? It's as if you have absolutely no clue whatsoever how Betcoin operates. There is a fixed rate for bitcoin that Betcoin sometimes changes daily. It is also always so much lower than any listed price at any exchange. You are absolutely correct. I had received confirmation that 'it is now in real time.' However after inquiring more today I was told otherwise and that the rate will 'change a lot' or adjusted often. The other day while preev had BTC at $762, betcoins conversion rate was $661. Ouch.

Too much good value in the poker room these days: The Daily Coin has a 400-500 chip overlay nearly everyday, high rakeback on all shorthanded play, etc.

You are fully aware they don't pay the rakeback as advertised. (I was missing over $2k, they lied about it and ignored me)
I also think players deserve to know:
-Community is heavily censored and full of scammers.
- They have been converting usd/btc at more than 10% under market rate.
- Current scam accusation involving Betcoin siding with software provider over a 500+ btc jackpot. Look into it and make your own opinion.

What are you talking about? There was an error in rake almost a year ago, which they've apologized and fixed, and sometimes there are bugs that halted rakeback update for a few days but was ALWAYS corrected and/or updated. You said it yourself that they refunded you too much anyway, and now you're saying that was exactly how much you were missing.... Community has scammers, just like any other gaming establishment, and things can be censored if it's nagging about something and especially if it's a post by you. I agree censorship is a bad part about the community, but overall the community is still more of an asset than a liability. The conversion rate is being fixed and worked on as stated in recent post, and right now if you win you benefit from the conversion rate. Okay, it doesn't deal with poker but deals more with their gaming provider for slots; has nothing to do with the poker room or this program.

In poker you aren't playing against the house, you're playing against other players. Instead of a "house edge" the house takes a commision based on how big the pot is (in cash games) or on how much the buyin is (for tournaments). As part of the loyalty program/affiliate program, Betcoin returns a % of the commision they take to the player/affiliate. Unfortunately, Betcoin doesn't return the % they advertise. Instead of adjusting what they advertise, or returning what they advertise, they choose to lie about it and cover it up. Because of the nature of the game, most players do not realize they are being shorted.

Just because Betcoin made an error in rake almost 1 year ago and has corrected it long ago, doesn't mean they have continued to do so. You said "Unfortunately, Betcoin doesn't return the % they advertise." A non libelous way of putting it should have been "Unfortunately, Betcoin didn't return the % they advertised." Because obviously the rake thing hasn't been a problem for a long time now.

Xiao, I thought you weren't going to respond to Twitchy anymore. There's no point in arguing with this guy. Not many regs like him either cause he takes up all of supports time when we're the ones that need help....

They fixed that (you're welcome, by the way) Read closely. I'm helping the players, not hurting them.

I'm not denying the issue you mentioned, such as WPN tournaments not being tracked correctly for both VIP and affiliate rb, but that happened in mid 2015. The problem I have is that you're using the present tense to describe old issues as if they're still happening. The only issue that I've encountered in the last few months is that a small % of players have been skipped during VIP/affiliate updates and one would have to talk to live support so they can manually update it or wait until the following day or two for everything to be caught up.

We aren't all off our meds and we don't all speak spergs so please specify what you mean by shorting people rakeback.

We aren't all off our meds and we don't all speak spergs so please specify what you mean by shorting people rakeback. I believe Twitchy was referring to the time when there were problems with the way Betcoin was updating WPN tournament rakeback back in 2015, when he was missing a decent amount of VIP points that he should have gotten for his tourney play. BTW- All rakeback for the week of 6/20-6/26 has been processed. GL everyone!

Sorry Cmols, heres a recap with less words for you (did you figure out your VIP level yet? or do you still need help):
Last July-Oct, I was playing most of my WPN tourneys on Betcoin. I was missing around 2-4k usd in rakeback/vip rewards. Betcoin said they were right and then (attempted to) ignore me. I raised hell because I knew I was right, they banned me because I wouldn't go away etc. Mid-March they unbanned me for some reason (honestly no idea why). First thing I did was bump my ticket. They asked how much I was missing, I said 2.5-5btc depending on some factors. They paid me 3 btc and upgraded my VIP level.
By the way, I have no doubt I could of demanded some amount of Bitcoin back in October and just moved on. Instead I attempted to try to get them to find a solution and also repay every affected player. Obviously I wasn't successful.
Now, Xiao seems to be implying that these issues are fixed. I'd like to know why he is now assuming that these issues are in the past...is it because nobody is complaining? Or because Betcoin started giving a shit about an issue they previously did not and decided to fix the problem rather than just pay the players who realized what was going on and fuck the rest?
The reason so few have ever complained is because so few are even aware. There is no easy way for a player to track their WPN tournament play. Betcoin offers nothing, sharkscope offers limited data, and PT4/HEM2 is not reliable when it comes to re-entries, rebuys, add-ons etc. It's a pain in the ass to figure out how much is missing, and an even bigger pain in the ass dealing with William and Andrew who, if you're lucky, will eventually pick a number out of the air and pay up.
It's a whole lot easier to just play and see how much you get back, and not think twice about it, which is what pretty much everyone that still plays at betcoin chooses to do. This is not acceptable.
-If you want to keep track on your own, here are the types I believe are most likely to not reward appropriately:
High buyin special tourneys like the $1m guar, Cage and Sunday Specials.
Any re-entries
Satellites that end while still in late reg
PS If you satellite into a tournament and get auto-regged, you don't get rewarded. However, if you register for the target event directly with cash and then win the seat, you should be rewarded and receive the value of the seat in cash.

You were unbanned because I asked them why you were banned and I told them that you were a good user. However lately you've pissed them off to a point where they just can't stand your instant demands. I've been getting consistent WPN data from my players so it's obviously tracking tournaments. You're probably right about satellites and re-entries. Maybe some other players could chime in on exactly what is and what isn't tracked for WPN tourneys.
