I don’t know what site are you referring to, but that really makes me laugh! I think they are creating a new type of game, the almost-free-freeroll! And what about the prizes? Have they gone up too, or they are still low as in usual freerolls?

I think you got something wrong from 1€ freerolls title.
Prize pool is 1€ and it s a freeroll that s why people are complaining and laughing.

Posted by xdomagojx: P.S. Reason why i defended this site is that i like playing there obviously. And 2nd reason is that on this whole forum you cant read one positive thing about HPP and in my opinion there are many. One of them being their GTD tournaments starting from as little as 6 CENTS. On other sites for that amount you ll find uber hyper turbo maddnes bingo. They also added few new tournaments without rake. You also get 50% rakeback which is simply put = AWESOME. My point is you want freerolls but at the same time you bash them so much chasing new players away from the room hence why they dont have MONEY FOR YOUR DAMN FREEROLLS.
And about people agreeing with you Bane? 90% of ppl on forums etc. will agree with bashing on someone check other threads for example when they want to ban someone etc.. even tho there isnt any reason for it. If i type here that durrrr is donk you would see many ppl saying they agree. Doesnt mean it s true.
Ok i m out now from defending this room it s their job anyways. Just felt that this isnt right. BAI
look xdomagolx, the freerolls were the last issues with the site. I admit i liked the lay out 2 and the rakeback.But you seem to be forgetting all the problems we had from the very beginning. 1)the server crashes happenend so frequently that there was even a post that said almost every hour. 2) after a crash money on your account not reimbursed after a week 3)account balances put on 0 for no reason(have to send an email) 4)e-mail to support generally taking up to a week to answer(if there was an answer at all) 5)we recieve a REP on BRM for any issues and to help sort them out,he hasn't shown for almost 3 weeks 6)they're website still claiming to give out freerolls that have been scrapped for while now 7)BRM leaderboard dissapearing
tell me wich one of these is not true?you asked for my reasons?these are my reasons.
------------ oh and about the donk stuff you wrote,I think everyone is a donk every once and a while
ps:HP made a bad reputation for them self,thats why there are people bashing it
I guess they are targeting players that will benefit them atm and not bash them on forums after they built up their bankroll of them. After update - all tournaments without rake - meaning every time i buy into 5€ tournament i finished on 6th place in 10€ freeroll. Much appreciated and much better than freeroll for me. I ve sent 0 emails and received my money every time so np there. Jonas is probably stuck at reading 1 milion e-mails from 500 people. Cheers.

Posted by pochui: welll the good thing is that there is still plenty of room for more- $0.50....$0.25....$0.10...$0.05 and eventually the special one- $0.01 freeroll for the pro's
Ha ha good one man.
In regards to the dropping amounts: My two cents - It was boubd to happen sooner or later, those freerolls were designed to drive traffic and they have, no need to keep them around anymore. Can any one say whether withdrawals are slowing because that would be a better indication of the sites unhealth I think.

I really don't understand how people can have the gall to complain about the lowering of the prize pool in a freeroll. It's a poker site, it's their goal to make money. They don't owe you anything, heck if they wanted, it's their perogative to completely remove freerolls if they want. My gf plays freerolls on bwin, and after winning one, she found out she could only use the money to play IF she made a minimum deposit, which she wasn't willing to do.
If you're too poor to play poker, and have to rely on freerolls for a roll, especially with sites like BRM offering free starting rolls,I feel sorry for you. Give me $20 on any site, and I'll build a roll there no problem.

No, in fact we're far from poor. She just didn't want to go through the hassle of depositing, even though I offered many times to do it for her. I think she's just distrustful of putting credit card/bank info stuff online.
And ps, of course we don't have electricity, it'd melt our igloos and scare away our dogsled dogs. Sheesh, don't people know anything aboot canada eh?
