For a while now it seems with every new update bet-online changes their structure for the worse. First they dropped 90% of the super micros changing $1&$2 tournaments to $3&$5 tournaments. I dealt with that b/c otherwise the structure did not change. Did not even start playing any less at that point.
Then they started making everything super mega stacks 50,000 starting. However that was just a bit of trickery as they shortened most of the blinds (time wise) and starting bb was anywhere from 500 to 5,000 chips. At this point I began to step away a bit and pick and choose my tournaments more selectively usually late night early morning non turbos.
Well now from what I can tell 90% of their tournaments are turbo PKO tournaments. A combination of my 2 least favorite styles of mtt. If they could somehow throw in unlimited double rebuys and add-ons we could call it a hat-trick. I'm sure if there is a way it's coming next. Not sure where they go from here.
Only normal re-entry I can find are high roller only. Micro reentry tournaments are bad enough as far as barely being worth the time unless you make top 5. PKO tournaments just completely deflate the % of the purse to everyone except the top 3 and really focus it all to #1.
Less people winning $$ means more reloads and I won't even bring up the stable factor. OOPS!
It seems all US facing sites have gone crazy with their structures. Nearly impossible to find re-entry or freezout tournaments with 10 minute blinds or more. At one point not that long ago those are all I played and if I wanted to I could play all day 2 or 3 at a time.
Do they see the writing on the wall. I myself am very surprised with everyone home this last year and as many newbs at the tables (I assume slots too). They haven't figured out a way to take advantage of the situation and stop letting off shore companies with fake licensing make the profits that could easily be going to a local casino group. I thought after the first few states passed it that there would be a domino affect.
Not only would we be keeping the funds local it would be better for the players because these companies would have to be licensed and regulated. Where as now any casino I play at could just say they are keeping all my funds tomorrow and there is really nothing anyone could do about it.
It's really strange with as monetarily based as our political system is their greed can't come through the 1 time I actually want it to. Go figure!
