Well you can thank Facebook for helping their members help give out passwords to all different poker sites. I have Facebooks Ph# I'm going to call them and see where I get.
Below you can see the sites pokerfreeroll passwords or freerollpoker passwords. So like anyone that has a facebook account you have a Info tab and so do these groups. When I was clicking their Info Tab there are all different poker forums giving out passwords to many poker sites not just BRM. These Admins that run these sites are a disgrace to the poker world. I belong to about seven other poker forums and they have class they would never do this nor would they post another forum's password on their board. How many members does FB have and they let people do this crap unreal.

I think the only way to avoid this problem is to set up a self-registration method by bankrollmob as they did for the $1000 freeroll held on 14 of february (I mean the one you have to hit a "register here" link in tournament lobby redirecting you to a registration page who controls if you have the requirements to do that or not).
whenever there's a password then there are pwords stealer

So Almonds I hope you saw that this post came about from your link but that dude is only one of about 20 at Facebook doing it. I have Facebooks Ph# and was going to call to see if I could do something. I posted a couple of ideas no more no less and it was a waste of time. Facebook is letting peeps leak your p/w's so that's why the field is growing you got 280,000 members here and I bet maybe a little over half are active but FB has over a billion members and poker is growing everyday. FB= many of these and they got a lot of . They will give their members anything they want they could give a rats ass of what these people are doing is wrong by giving out p/w's.

release the password 1 minute before the start of the game, that would minimize the password leaking. Or you give you members tickets to the restricted tournament.

only way to stop this is a ticket type thing, complaining about facebook is never going to work there is still a load of sites that give out passwords, i dont play these freerolls as they can just be painfull tryed the one on noble and got donked with nonsense str8 away both i tryed so not doing any again buti suppose its better with 300 donks than 1000s if what i heard is correct

its a pain allright ... luckily the only freerolls i play you need a token to enter or you need to have a certain amount of points which are deducted to cover your entry ... cant see any solution to the password problem its to easy to get them if you look ... cant understand why they are not all token or ticket entry anyway
stop late registration for a start , that will cut the field in half right away, I reckon admin could do this pronto,but dont seem interested in this debate, maybe to busy with the amount of new members this promo has got them

There's ways to get the freeroll passwords that we can't control we must admit, but the one we can control is issueing the password to the freeroll freeloaders who pop in our games. We need to stop giving it out to these freeloaders first. I hope you can contact facebook and do something about issueance of the freeroll passwords. Good Luck! One thing though! The freeroll Freeloaders can't get in BRM without a membership and we are privlaged to be a part of BRM. Appreciate the concern.
