Are they putting out $40 worth of ads for that tourney? maybe $80 in security and $20 in customer support? That would give stars a profit of about $40 for a tournament like this. Plenty of $ to do good business with a good profit.
NOT A CHANCE THAT STARS MAKES THIS LITTLE. Im not gonna pretend like i know the real numbers but in you average 180 man tourney the customer support cost has got to be about 50c. Just think how often you have contacted customer support. For me thats 2 times and ive played over 5k tourneys.
Now how about security. How much does it cost stars to make these transactions secure and to prevent collusion, botting, and other cheating? With cheating not really a problem in mtts the only cost is making sure the cash transfers are secure. How much can this really cost? $5 maybe.
Advertising is the part that im not even going to guess at. But it would be ridiculous to think that stars is spending enough on ads to justify the cost of these tourneys. maybe 20% max.
