I got an e-mail saying that they will no longer offer the BBJ.
It states that the current jackpot will freeze in sepetmber, the jackpot will still go off but the rake will no longer be collected so it will eventually just run out.
ACR will continue collecting the same rake for The Beast Promo.

Soooo... the jackpot is frozen, anyone think the this is a valuable chance to crack this open for cheap?
No rake being collected for this and not all tables have rake going to the beast.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I could be wrong in my understanding, but I believe the beast is receiving double rake. 1st place is now capped at 15k, but it is still very top heavy.

Yeah the beast is receiving the rake that used to go into the BBJ, but my point is I guess that there are tables that are only jackpot tables mainly in the micros.
So the jackpot is there just waiting to be broken open with much less rake than it was prior to play these tables.

Yeah I hear ya but I'm really only referring to the actual jackpot for a qualifying badbeat.

Sounds like they are losing money somewhere and they need to make it up by not paying out the BBJ.
Not all sites have a bad beat jackpot , so they probably feel why lose money on it ?

How can they lose money? I think the original ACR is too rake heavy. I prefer they remove both bbj and beast.

The rake on the BBJ and Beast tables is absurdly high. I'm glad they are doing away with it.
