I have just final tabled a freeroll on party poker and finished 4th. At the final table there was a tick-box on the left hand side with 'split winnings'. Obviously in a freeroll no-one was interested in it (apart from the very ambitious short-stack who made final table with about 3 BB's!).
I was just wondering how many other sites do this. I've made countless final tables on Full Tilt and never seen it...Is it offered in the larger games? The Sunday Brawl etc? And do Stars do anything similar?
I know splitting winnings happens a lot more often in live games at the moment, even at the World Series, so it'd make sense that Online sites do it too I guess. Thanks. Kev

It would be a nice little addition as an option but I don't know how much use it would get.

I can imagine that most people would just want to go for the win if they made a final table.

I have never come across splitting winnings on any site.

In some cases, I would be willing to split, if one other player and myself played particularly well and we were pretty even in chips for example.

In the bigger tournemants, guarantees like the Sunday Million offer it, and it is used on a regular basis.

It is pretty common on stars to chop, especially in the Sunday million where chopping last 2 can add $40,000 or more to your bankroll
