Default Re: Official *Party Screwed Monster Seat Holders* Thread

15 million Monster, 7 million monthly frees, 2 million weekly.

If theyre factoring those 7 and 2 mil into their calculations I don't see why we wouldnt. The pot was 24 million....we got between 6 and 8.

I have a hard time believing it is reasonable to expect Party to pay out $7 Million in prizes for 7 cancelled Monthly $1M tournaments, for the following reasons:
1) They have only awarded 10,000 unused monthly seats, and that would be effectively paying prizes for 56,000 seats
2) They have not had an opportunity to collect their Monster rake for the full period. I do think they should pay out 100% of what was collected so far, but not what "would" have been collected.
3) The T&C do state they can change the promotion at any time, and it seems reasonable that since no more players will be awarded monthly seats, they should only fund the equity for the ones already awarded (i.e., $1.25 Million, not $7 Million)

But I do agree with the main point: the "Guaranteed" prize pool is over double the $6-$8 Million they actually paid out.
