Default CORRUPTOLOGIC

Cryptologic network have "ROBBED" 36 players out of potential $54K prize pool !!

Date 29th April 11o'clock start. $25+2 entry. "5K Guranteed SUN (ID4640161)" this had an advertised prize pool of $54K.

Everyone could see that this was not the correct prize pool, yet this enticed myself and others to enter this tounament. After 2hours 48mins, and down to 36 players (30 place pay out structure) a message comes up on the four remaining tables "Tournamnet Paused By Poker Room Manager" , everyone thinks, whats going on here then. " <font color="red"> </font> " Everyone starts to kick off, and over half an hour later the argument is going on. with the Poker Manager refusing to continue the tournamnet and instead we told, not offered, " <font color="red"> </font> "


Arguments are till on going.


What are your views ? Can they do this ? Should they do this ?

I don't get it. It says "$5K Guaranteed" a couple places in the lobby, no? Isn't it pretty clear the $54K thing is a software glitch (or typo)?

Since you even said in your original post "Everyone could see that this was not the correct prize pool," you had to know this was a possibility when you signed up, right? Seems to me like you (and others) tried to take your share of ~$50K from Crypto, but they noticed it before you did.

I guess I can understand the disappointment, but I don't think they owe you anything - if it mistakenly said "$54K Guaranteed" everywhere in the lobby, you'd have a lot more of a beef. They could throw you a free entry to another $25+$2 or something as a gesture, but I think even that would be more than what's necessary.

If they took $250+$20 entry fee off everyone by mistake would that be ok?
