ACR & BCP (GTD's) arent Guaranteed at ALL

The last few Guaranteed Tourney's I've played on ACR & BCP aren't so GTD since they aren't Guaranteed at all & only payout based on how much they collect from players.

Example; what the point of saying a game is $300 GTD if only $287 is collected, or even $150, then that's what the pot becomes after Late Reg closes!? Seriously its kinda ridiculous & has been happening on both sites for well over a month now. The first 2 times I gave them the benefit of the doubt & didn't think much of it but since the end of August all the GTD games have not stayed at the Guaranteed amount if its not reached or exceeded by player Buy-Ins. So seriously what is the point of posting a game as GTD & not honoring it? All it does is shake players confidence in the site(s).
I know I'm not the only player to notice this & I'm curious what Customer Service has had to say about it, if anything.
How safe can my hard won $$$ at these sites be when they will post a tourney as GTD & continually don't back it up?

I never seen this problem at all, I grind there everyday, all day

and most tourneys I play crush the GTD anyway, but this 4k gtd 6 max im in has an overlay if you got time to waste adding up the prizes and see if its 4k or not

i noticed to really messed up for an example a 500 GTD just ended and only 387 prize pool its still up CLDABOSS if u wanna look at it

It will change in the Lobby header once late reg is over, you don't even have to add it up to know its changing. Yeah most do go over but not ALL & if its posted as a GTD it should be Guaranteed!!

$500 gtd adds up to $500 on the nose. Add up the prizes.

o well, telling us wont help it, go on 2+2 and complain to the rep, me, im cool with bcp/acr

I don't want to have to call them & spend an hour on the phone. Someone has had to have done it already. I'm wondering if its a glitch in the software b/c for about the same amount of time if I switch chat box over to my stats the Flops Played counter will mess up every time after about 20-30 hands & start count as if I'm playing every hand. (Which BTW has to make my stats on the trackers look hilarious)

wat are you talking bout. look at the last $500 gtd that just finished. collected is sub $400, but payouts reflect the $500 gtd.

alot, why you think you here fitting in?

WOW seems that we are blaming the wrong people here. PO is not responsible for the GTD payouts at any poker site. I have played BCP/ACR and have found no reduction on the GTD tourneys. Piss and moan to the site admins and don't take it out on PO.

So.what you are referring too is the prize pool on the left above the payouts in the tourney lobby. It might be a $1 rebuy with $250 gtd. But the buyins and addons of the players only added up to $212. It will show that $212 but will payout the $250. Add it up if you have doubt

Exactly. I play in them as well. The guys wrong....

I don't have to even bother adding the prize amounts up to know that they are not paying out the guaranteed amounts in these situations simply b/c some of the smaller games like a $300 GTD ending up with a $158 prize pool, The prizes given out do not add up to $300! That's a fact & its hard to imagine a real poker player who doesn't care about $$$.
I know this to be true with out adding all the prizes together b/c I pay close attention to the payouts all the way though a tourney, especially before late reg closes since the number of prizes & amounts will change quite a bit depending on how many people enter.
So what if it doesn't happen that often, it doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't be happening at all. Saying it doesn't matter is just ignorant & acting like you play poker & don't care about the payouts is even more retarded.

I'm not blaming PO at all. A stupid comment is a stupid comment. I think the guys just wanted to get his 5 points in saying something retarded.

O.K. I will be back with screen shots soon b/c they are not paying out the GTD amounts when a tourney doesn't even reach that amount. Most of the games I am referring to were not re-buy games anyways.

The $300 guarantee I'm in right now is actually is paying out 414.72. So maybe I've(and everyone else that hasn't seen this) just been lucky enough to have never ran into this problem on ACR, and I hope I don't cause that would be f'd up.

Sounds like a skipping record. Haven't we seen this on other sites as well?

i think if you have any proof any X GTD didnt payed out the X amount u should go straight to BCP/ ACR support and put them against the wall.. but u better be sure of what u talking about ..... ;)

I really like acr and bcp my fave site that I play the tourneys are awesome especially the big ten good luck to everyone there

The payouts are right..........Should check the total payouts before making silly threads.

Is this supposed to be another "poker sites are rigged" type deals... people jump to conclusions way to easily

lmao the OP here obv. has no clue about what they are talking about here. just check like 6 GTDs on BCP and all were paying out what was GTD even if the GTD amount was not reached...I bet this guy does not even post on this thread again b/c he feels like a dumbazz

Sounds very shady there was no overlay kicked in by ACR-BCP ?

from reading this i think the op thinks the gtd is what first place should pay lmao
