Posted by gohabsgo: It would be fun to bring mobpoints at the tables!
This idea has been put to attention before. It sure would be fun, and wont cost BankrollMob anything. The only problem is that they should have good working poker then. Without ANY bugs, since you are playing for real money. Don't think they have that yet?

It's not possible to integrate Mob Points with the current pokerclient, and we dont think it's a good idea to pay $10,000+ for software that makes it possible.
Besides, it would be a problem, as mob points have a real value (in $), so it would be like running our own pokersite, we don't want that.

Posted by ADACTA: I allways liked the idea of mobpointspoker, Admin isnt it possible to organise tourneys in that client and then to send the winner(s) the brmpoints?
Yeah That's my point too....
XD
But i guess the FreeRolls are the thing wich cover our point... I mean that's what admin just said BRM Points = $$$ and freeroll gives $$$ so,,, it's same of giving points if u got me...

yea the idea behind isnt that bad but this has been brought up with the admin and he did say that the process behind it was pretty difficult and plus it can create a huge openning for scamming money

What kind of poker program do you have now? Can't you use that one?
Or maybe have a freeroll tournament on this pokerroom and who wins gets some Mob points.

I think you need to re-read my post
But no, tournaments won't work either. The poker client only supports single table tournaments up to 10 players, and there's no way we can start it on specific times etc. They start when 10 players joined. And it will be a huge administrative work to manually go and assign MobPoints to winners etc.
We will keep the current "mob poker client" just for fun, maybe, but won't be able to add Mob Points directly to it.

Okay I see. You know what would be cool, 10 person sit and gos but only have them on special occasions or award seats for a prize or something..I don't think it would be much work if you have its not too often..Like maybe put in mob safe ticket to sit and go or something like that.

we should start a petition. if we can get enough people to sign it, maybe BankRollMob will create a poker thing (they can just put a flash version in the site or something) where we can play poker using our mobpoints as wages.
it would help a lot of people get up in points faster, and would really keep in the spirit of the "gambling" nature of the site.
(and have tournaments with safe cracks as part of the prize)
