So you start a promotion with a prize worth $1240 that doesn't involve people having to leave their house. And on day 6 you change it to $1000 and people have to play in Vienna?

And you think this is OK?

Betfair in "changing the goalposts" for something that has already started shocker.

Has this ever happened before, out of interest?

Truely laughable.

What's the difference between the $600 package and the $1000 package to Vienna? TIA.

Thank you.

Is anybody there?

Prompted by the above, I actually checked the buy in for Vienna and it is 200 Euros. So betfair effectively switched the prize from 4 $300 entries to 1 entry worth less than $300 6 days in to a promotion.

It is incredible how frequently betfair manages to design promotions that pee people off while giving stuff away. I would be flabbergasted, but I have seen it so many times before.

(un)Luckily I have had a sh ite start, so it isn't going to effect me.

Honestly mate, I think the prize is great. Winning a trip for just playing your normal game! I checked the site and the package is now $1,000 plus you get to go on holiday. What is so bad about that? Vienna is a nice place so if they sent you to a $hithole I would completely get you, busy Austria is amazing! Plus obviously the event has a much larger prize pool than the Shooter, so a potential big payday is there.

Agree that maybe the notice should have come a bit earlier, but they simply could have not done the promo and not reward loyal players of the Shooter.. I could never afford a $310 daily event, so maybe i am not the best person to speak, but come on..
