GGpoker tournament refund scam
Hello.
Yesterday GGpoker had server issues and everyone was kicked out of the lobby for 1 hour. They decided to rollback the 150 main event and to compensate other tournaments with a questionable probably scammy practice:
It says that players in the money get their buy in back + the next prize. I played the weekender for example and my stack was 2x average..
So players ITM were I think for this tournament 20%. That means everyone got the money/stack from 4 other players that bust, so the average stack is worth 250$ . But they only want to give 50$ (buy in) + 75$ (next prize) = 125 ??
That would mean that GGpoker would steal 50% of the tournament prize pool? Can anyone confirmed that had happened to them? I avoided GGpoker for 3 years after I heared about many shady practices and now on the first day this happens. If they really steal 50% of the prizepool this should be a huge feud

Lol. Steal feud I love it when people are just let's say not smart and don't understand what they read.
What about the rest of the sentence OP? The remained of funds will be distributed by on chip stack equity.... did you read thar part... it seems to contain the answer to your question
It says they will refund the "fee" and then do the chop. The fee is the rake
oh okay, I oversaw the part with the remaining prizepool being devided by stacksize. Actually makes sense now, thx
actually nvm, just got my refund from the weekender and it was way more than I expected. That has to be a fair ICM model maybe they even gave more than Prizepool, at least from 150$ main event we got back our entry fee. Cant say anything bad about gg anymore
