Dont expect any changes. It wont happen. Things work the way it should for BRM apparently You either have to adapt to the situation and play style (it is a freeroll after all), or you can stop playing them

I got the following email from BankrollMob support after adressing the unresolved issues with regard to this particular freeroll.
"***** (BankrollMob Support) Oct 20 15:20
Unfortunately there are some people who share our freerolls passwords. There's not much we can do to stop this
Regards, ***** BankrollMob.com"
The problem partly lies in Duckpoker's misleading, ambiguous touney lobby information. In DuckPoker $25 BRM freeroll lobby it states "Exclusively for BankrollMob members only", "Passwords available through BankrollMob." It does not mention that players need to create their account through BankrollMob to be eligible to participate in the tourney. That allows ineligible players to register for it with or without knowing being disqualified.
Neither Duck nor BankrollMob has done nothing so far to prevent dozens of unqualified, dishonest players from registering for the tourney.

If you are intersted in BRM freeroll just dont care about each game you are playing with peoples getting the password in social media. Just take in mind they are not allowed to leaderboard and the tournament of this leaderboard. I know it could be frustrating beeing out by a none qualified one but you can be out by a regular just the same. Just play your game and you will be rewarded.

I do not play this particular tourney anymore after I got informed of the situation. So, if current players are fine with it, then, please disregard my previous comments. Duck just proved themselves how shady, discriminative, sh*tty operator they are.
If you make points you'll also clear the bonus from BRM... And then be able to withdraw once you've built a bankroll out of the few bucks u can earn from freerolls. What's wrong with that? The only major problem about this site is the lack of traffic and mid stakes players.

What did you mean by "only major problem" precisely?
The issue on this thread is that tons of unqualified players are still in that particular tourney and either Duck or BRM has not yet done anything about it.
And I believe I advised all of you disregard my comments if those are irrelevant to you.

BRM surly must know they can have this page shut down, yes they will start another one though and on and on it will go But here is one of the culprits ***link removed, since there's no need to advertise their page in here. Facebook doesn't care about this, so nothing we can do about it /admin ***

Been discussed many times before. Just remember that your main aim for playing in these tournaments should be to climb the leaderboards. Most of the money is there, so that's what you should be aiming to do. Pointless getting angry about it, just play good, solid poker and you should do well over the three months.
