I'm sure it's been asked a hundred times (i don't care to slog the threads or revive one), but is there a way we can eliminate the parasites from the freerolls?
I've been repeatedly asking in chat for members to declare themselves in a sort of informal survey. In over 2 dozen requests over 3 freerolls I've only had one person respond that they were members. I recognize some people have chat disabled and others give 0 f***s, but I'd expect a higher response rate if even half the players were actually members.
I wonder if there is a mechanism where players could be reported to PS and reprimanded for violations of the ToS.... Maybe we members could have a Parasite Reporting thread, which the admins could use for reporting. If a user reported in the thread was not registered and linked then they'd report it. Just an idea.
It's incredibly frustrating to have 6 players all in every other round with everything from pocket pairs to 27 off.... It makes the freerolls almost unplayable. The only option is to sit out everything but monsters and hope you dont get sucked out on by the 27 making a backdoor flush or some such....

Nah its good for business. ..if there not members and they are stealing the password there likly to swing on by and see what bankrollmob is all about. We have members active on forum today only because the foumd the freeroll and password. With over 600k members theres bound to be a butt ton of ppl playing anyways.also for 25$ prize pool u cant expect much gameplay its just to big a field for to little reward

True that those '' parasites'' as you call them ruin the game enjoyment , but infact that's what bankrollmob want. But I would like that bankrollmob introduces some other kind of freerolls where they would reveal the password here on forums (in some hidden thread that only active member can see), so we could have what we deserve, doesn't have to be every day - once a week could be just fine.

Is it possible to pay the money later,so you can control is it a member or not.When the parasites know they get no money they will not play the freeroll. But mith that is a freeroll I think equal there a members or not you will find 2/7 or any other crap hand preflop all in,in every tournament

If they had a real money added plus buying..maybe 0.11-0.50$ plus password it would probably deter alot of the players since it wouldnt be a freeroll anymore.

"...Can the freerolls be deloused?..."
< A reference to their being 'lice'...? ...now THAT is f'ing hilarious...!
Now we have LICE mixed in with all the cockroaches....
...undoubtedly they will try to breed inter-specially,...and the NEXT f'ing thing scurrying around will be 'Cocklice'.....
Now the LAST thing you want to have is Cocklice infesting/infecting the place....!!!
I have a plan...
Instead of attracting the parasites with a $25 prize pool,...give away coupons, tickets, or vouchers for a 'Remedial' Ballshave redeemable at 'Chez Pochui' in fashionable downtown Vilnius for a remedial fleecing of the testes...
He'd be a rich guy if he would only franchise out to Wal-Mart worldwide...!

You were correct in what you said at the beginning of your post.....this topic has been discussed many times and it seems BRM are happy with the way freerolls are played.I agree they are not good tournaments and I personally never bother with them. BRM is a no deposit/bonus site and many of the players who are playing freerolls will probably be enticed into taking the bonuses if they visit the site.I would make sure winnings were paid in mob points or had to sign into the freeroll via a link from here or something similar.

True there was many threads about freerolls. For sure there would be some way of not having other peoples then members here. However if i remember correctly in one of them there was an answer from BRM that they had no intention of changing the actual way and it was to members to not disclose passwords. I dont remember the exact words but its the meaning.

An old subject discussed many, many times. And from the history of it, it will be repeated, again in the future Nothing can be done for this. The specific games are a take it or leave it option. Just try to make the most of it.
Cap every BRM free roll tournament at 1000 entrants with 117 places paid and too keep the away the infestation a link setup in Poker Stars software where only members can join with no password easy too setup more people would join BRM i see no point in playing these free rolls if not for the final prizes and top 200 free roll.

Even though Mith is not happy with the freeroll he is doing well on the pokerstars leaderboard and sitting in 2nd place at the moment and he is the only name I recognise in the top 200. To be honest I really don't understand the effort some people put in just to enter freerolls to win tiny amounts by multi accounting and scamming passwords.
Posted by IceQueenAce: The title of this thread pissed me off tbh. BRM has 650 THOUSAND members. How would you know which are members and which aren't?
In addition, why should you be any more worthy of playing these freerolls than they are?
Why should it be forum regulars only? (There are only 10 of us anyway!)
Kek, you know OP must be pretty pissed off how hard he have to work those five cents every time. He was probably lost with his AA against rags way too many occasions.
