What if I ran tournaments on OUR POKER CLIENT with our point buyins?
There would be absolutely no leaking (Because you have to buy in with points)
Prize pool would be whatever we want.
If we did that, I 'believe' I can even pay out to paypal (I will verify).. I know i can payout to Amazon gift cards..
Something for in the mean time until I setup Carbon (Or another site) or until FTP fixes itself.
Thoughts?
It could take a while for FTP to fix itself. I heard something about them suspending US enjoyment until the legal issues are resolved... and we all know how long that kinda shit takes.
hmmm.
Ya so.. what to do in the mean time
yeah thats cool but ca we do something other the carbon poker it is horrible site from my opion how about feltstars or something.
I've emailed feltstars to see if they would like to accommodate us.Quote:

or ironduke
Zab .. i will play anywhere that YOU set up ... I will need a estimate/warning/notice of when Carbon Poker is hosting our games .. i will need to run to a Visa store and reload to make a deposit ;-)
sounds like maybe an idea i cant use paypal,, but am azon giftcards i couldd it hink.. hope we figure out somethin,, unless FTpoker get s an extension on monday,, i heard that mite happen,, is why the govenment does things like this on a friday,,,, make them suffer till thennn lets hope they get a n extension thennnn
I VOTE FOR FELTSTARS!!!! i like it there and have played there a lot toooo, in a lotta special tourneys there tooo and they will try to accomadate u thererr toooo zab,, i kow they w wi llllll....for sureee:) another group has a games there,,a dn one of guys comes on t their radio a show a lot toooo, and they are very helpful there OK
ok what is your client never herd of that
im good with whatever, how bout we start our own site be the next ftp or something. (without the fucked up ending. Im half joking who knows u obviously good at making sites, people will be looking for somewhere to go. any who im just hoping there is a good site to play at. OKay whatever this goverenment bull shit put a kink in my life, but life sucks anyway. jk LMAO
I will wait to see what happens with FTP (If you want my guess, things will run normal pretty soon, except it will be even harder to get money off FTP).
I have put out emails to several Merge sites
I have a deal in place at Carbon Poker (But the freeroll setup isn't ideal)
I have emails out to all the survey sites verifying I can pay to paypal if we use our internal poker client
I have a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR upgrade planned in the next week or 2 :P
wrong timing eh? hope all goes well..
Yes & No :)Quote:

So the idea I think I am having (If the survey sites allow it)
It will be a $5, $10, $15, $25, whatever prize pool based on the # of people enter.
So we will have a set payout amount based on the # of entries. More people that enter, the bigger the prize pool
I think I will code it (Again if the Survey sites allow it) you can either cashout to Paypal or Amazon.com if you win
That would be awesome. Ideal.Quote:

I just have to clear it through paypal now :|
Kind of forgot about that.. Pretty sure paypal wouldn't allow it
paypal.moneybookers,netteller,realy serious partners only register and verfify so easy worldwide accepet
well we will see where we end up... i do like the idea for paypal money...
Ran a couple tests, didn't get alot of interest
The payout to PayPal sounds awesome!!!! Zab, I think the interest will kick-in. I just saw this thread and I would be stoked if this happens.
I ran 2 tests yesterday.. 1st tourney had 8 2nd one had 2 players
2 more today
I love the idea!
good idea zab but you got to keep in mind it might be a federal offence to do somthing like that...fbi craking down on tilt , stars now but you really think they will stop there?
i like the PayPal idea ... but i did have an issue with them before ( i lost $$ ) ... I hope my old account is deleted and i can re-start fresh with them
The difference is, you are winning points. You never actually wager your own money. It's just like all those free to play sites that offer freerolls (Subscription based sites) You never deposit your own money, you never lose your own money.Quote:

Yup no doubt about it. Working on all optionsQuote:

TRIAL BY ERROR is sometimes the best way.
