Hi
As the title suggests my question is:- Anyone else have an issue with the payout structure on 888 with multi-entry tourneys?
I love the value 888 puts on in freerolls and I think their satellites are fantastic, often extra value and normally start in time for the main tournament otherwise only a few mins after which is great as opposed to sites like Stars where you often finish an hour in.
However once you win that seat in or buy direct in I find the payout structure on 888 awful because they do not base the payout structure on mutli-entries unlike sites like Stars that counts each re-entry as another placement.
I ended up in one tournament where the payout was base on 197 entrants but in reality with all the entrants it was close to 250.
The I entered one last night which had 95 entrants but really had another 29 re-entries which on some sites are countered. In then end if these players had been countered 18 would have been paid instead of 12 (I finished 16th in this). In the end they were paying less than 10%!
Obviously we all want to be hitting the final tables but I think this kind of pay-out structure is not great for most payers and if you agree I would suggest contacting 888 too.
Personally I do not like all the tournaments on the site being re-entries although some do but I find this payout policy to really not be good and it's pushing me back to Stars for tournaments which is a shame.
