Worldwinner players -- IMPORTANT INFORMATION

[gameluvr]

Worldwinner players! PROGRESSIVE prizes dropping is CONSUMER FRAUD under Massachusetts law! Please click on the link below and file a complaint. I think they keep it confadential.

Worldwinner progressive tourneys have prizes that DROP. Today the Dynomite Progressive tourney said that first prize was $175, but it just gets lower and lower. Sometimes the prizes climb back up but usually they do not.

Worldwinner has NEVER NEVER EVER addressed this on the forums and they've definately been given the chance!

Massachusetts law is very very strict about false advertising.

finally something interesting

Hmm.. I'm not so sure what you have is concrete though. It is a progressive tournament - by definition the prizes will continually change.

A progressives jackpot continually gets higher, which I don't think theirs have dropped. If you're complaining about the 1st place prize, I am not sure that will get you much of anywhere. They are showing you the current jackpot, you know in advance that it will change up until the time it closes.

same as anywhere... King, SA, etc... as the places pay deeper the prizes change.

On SA, for example, first place in the current $75 Gem Swap tourney is worth $34.62. But if one more player enters, the tourney will pay 4 instead of 3 places, and first place will now be in line to make less... maybe $31 or so.

This is a non-issue.

Yeah, this is really the nature of a progressive tournament. Now, it's common that although another place gets paid out, the prize will go up with more and more players. But, for it to dip is not really an issue, its the tournament style.

I can't think of anywhere where a progressive tournament with similar payout structures perform differently.
