Re: Match play challenge fee

  Just a quick question about the fee. I normally play for 111, 222, 333 etc, I do this as I'm sure many players do so that the extra 10% goes towards the match fee and if I win, i'll win 100, 200 etc.

  I noticed after a match that my balance didn't quite add up, so I checked my transaction history only to find that after a match for, let's say 333, I would be credited with 300 and then debited the match fee of 33 on top of that, meaning that I only actually won 267. Surely I should be credited with 333 and then debited the 33?? I've noticed that all the matches are the same regardless of the amount. What am I missing here?

  He is how it goes. All this information has been posted many times before.

  You put in 333

  Opponent puts in 333

  You both pay 33 credits rake

  You win 300

  Your account goes up 267 because of your fee.

   

  Happy hitting

   WGT get the 10% fee from BOTH players.

   Your 333 credit match  will pay you 300 credits when you win ( your opponents 333 cr wager - his 33 cr fee = 300 cr)

   You also have to  pay that same 33 cr fee out .... out of your account.

  LMAO!!!! I get treated much better at the poker tables in Vegas. I understand how it works here at WGT...but that doesn't mean I agree with their ways. Raking 10% is fine but that extra 10% is BS! Hey WGT how about this...only the loser pays the additional 10%...before someone starts to preach to me about leaving the site if I'm not happy I would like to say this. I play challenge matches because it really is the only thing left to do on here that isn't boring. Same old courses...loading problems EVERY TIME I play Alt. Shot and the weekly tournaments will have the same course for 3 different events. I'm sure this will get no response from anyone at WGT but one can always hope.
