Dear Player,

Thank you for your inquiry.
This year the GMT and BST are now 1 hour apart: BST = GMT + 1.

Please see the following link for more information:

According to our data, the time is correct however we would like to
better investigate your case.

My reply with Screenie

Hey Ep here is the requested screenshot you can clearly see the time is 1 hour behind =)



Their reply:

Dear Richard,

The current time in your jurisdiction is BST (not GMT). As stated in the
screenshot you provided BST is in force until Sunday 26th of October.
As previously explained :

BST = GMT + 1

Although normally BST and GMT are the same, now they're 1 hour apart.

So what the hell is up? I know what timezone im in.. why dont they update the time as it should be for us Brits? Or am I just a stupid tard? Thanks lol

The dont use daylight savings time is my guess,where i life where on greenwich time but whe dont use daylight saving so during ther summer we are gmt+1

And based on your writing i whould have to say your not a retard

still thinking about my answer and I'm american so I'm not familiar with your time zone.
if you are in BST (brittish summer time ) the clock is right .
it sounds possible you are in BST and think you are still in GMT.
just a guess though

based on your BR I would have to say maybe I kid I kid

Lol thanks I feel better, only just :P

Urgh, it says that it is 18:13 GMT. (Which is what the link says as well). So are you saying that you are not in GMT and that is the problem. Maybe I am the tard...

Yes thats right the UK is currently BST which is GMT +1 but they dont update the browser so all tourney times are at GMT time and are 1 hour behind, these guys confuse

GMT is more correctly known as UTC (Cordinated Universal Time or Zulu time), which never adjust for daylight saving or summer time changes, so everest poker's time is correct. Can they change it to BST, yes, but then it wouldn't be GMT. Obviously they expect you to account for the difference your self.
