Hey Mob admin you are constantly getting 4-6k players in your freerolls and yet probably only 5% are true mobbers so why dont you change the rules on your freerolls to state the following:
1. Members must post at least one forum thread per month 2. Each and every freeroll will be checked to ensure points/prize winners are BRM members 3. Why not issue monthly tickets like pokerstars do for their sill league so only true BRM members then get to enter into the freeroll
that way you wont have the 75% donkeys asking friends for passwords just to come into the game and donk everyone out for their friends to get a good position and good points for the site
ANYONE ELSE THINK THIS WOULD BE FAIR

So if we assume you are correct with only 5% of the players being true mobsters, and with 117 prize winners in each freerolls * 6 daily = 702 winners per day. Then you want us to e-mail 95% of those (666 players) to pokerstars every day to have their prize money removed from their pokerstars accounts, because they are not BRM members?
That's never going to work - unlikely not even allowed
Nope, it is what it is, so the best you can do is to avoid the leaderboard freerolls if you are unhappy with their current format, and go for our other promotions/freerolls that we are having from time to time - for example the BRM Easter Home Game arranged by true mobsters: http://www.bankrollmob.com/freerolls/7640/pokerstars-fr...

Playing one on one with a donk is one thing,....
...but having to get past 1000s od them is a TOTALLY different thing altogether....
You know just by the shear NUMBER of the A-Holes you don't stand much of a chance...
...Their suicidal.... Like Poker Kamikazes....or something....

man I completely cant understand to your opinion as administrator.. To advice BRM members to not play BRM freerols cause there are many non members... what a nonsens buddy...
AND HOW ABOUT FIX IT???? Its not one member who is unhappy with that.. its majority I guess.. Why the hell you leave that nonmembers to destroy your leaderrboard (which is great idea, but its unplayable because of them...)
Why you just dont make much shorter time for registration like 2 minutes? It works on other freerol which I play from time to time, every member who want to attend can, and nonmembers cant find password for that 2 minutes, or only few of them can. There is no need to make any tickets etc... Its so easy, you only need to want to do something with that...

how about my other suggestion then and issue mobsters with mothly or evenly yearly BRM freeroll tickets so it gets rid of the password being passed around that way you will get more members cos the donks will have to sign up to your site and more members is very good for BRM to become world famous

Weenie, there is nothing we can do right now to completely fix it - of course there are things that can be done to fix some of it, but it will cause other problems. Like I said, it is what it is. But just for fun, I'll try to reduce the time the password is released from 15 mins to 5 mins, for the remaining freerolls today, just to see the difference in participation (we still can't see how many are members and non-members).
------------ Wayniac99, tickets is a problem because it means users can not get to play instantly after having signed up. We would drown in support e-mails, "why can't I play, I'm a member!?". We want people to be able to play them without having to first wait for some kind of manual/batch process to be run, that issues tickets.

Reducing it to five minutes it will sure give less time to the ones spreading it around. So that means all interested must be stand by at that time waiting for it to be released. I dont know if it will have drastic results but will add more "pressure" so thats good

Thanks for reply, I appreciate it. Also your good will to try something. But its neccesary to switch off late reg. too. The point of reducing registration time is that the nonmembers will not have time enough to find pass on internet and register. And they will be still able to register if they will have 5min before tournament and then another 10min late reg.
I hope it will be fixed in near future and many members will be satisfied and will find new motivation to attend leaderrboard And also I hope that reducing registration time could bring more BRM members, and BRM will grow faster

So in freerol which started right now, there was around 4500 players at beginning (without late reg.) So If you put late reg off it will reduce around 2500 players (I am sure 99% of them nonmembers )
If you will put registration time to 2-3 it will reduce players even more...
And as I said, its not working when non members have 15 minutes to find password on internet, they will find it through that time easily.

your missing the point they know BRM members are upset at the moment and they trying to sort things out as and when they can. You cant just change everything in 1hour but its the small things like 5mins reg that start the process and hopefully that will be start of gettting a whole new improved experience when entering the BRM freerolls which they have kindly added $25 plus the payouts at end of qualifying period if you are lucky enough to get there
to see how fast it took for the password to get posted. It was about 1 minute or less....
....so I figure whomever owns it,....or the others, MUST be a member here,....get the pass and then quick post it up on their own site/facebook page....
If the BrM administration or owner knows who owns the 'Daily Freerolls' page,....then you'll know which member here is purloining the password...
...Delaying the pass until 5 minutes before is no good...... doesn't work!
Looks like the only real way to fix the problem is by using a ticket system,....or for PS to modify their program to recognize BrM members' computers once they log into the PS lobby......
Thanks for trying though Fat Tony... it was at least worth it to try...

i know that there is a lot of problems with non-members and duplicate registrations in these tourneys,and so far Tony hasn't had any viable idea on how to fix it,which is a shame as i've played in a few and they would be good to play on a regular basis but i don't play them at the moment because of the aforementioned problems. i think getting a ticket is about the best solution,unless there are other good ones.

There is already a verification process in place for mobsters to access some of the features of this website. Why not make a ticket to the leaderboard freerolls one of cool things members get access to after they verify their accounts.
