There have been some technical glitches with the tournament software from time to time. Microgaming acknowledges that there is a problem and is working quite hard to fix all of them. If anybody does experience a particular problem I highly encourage them to take a screen shot and send it to our support team who can pass it along to MGS.

Regarding players with numerous aliases, I was unable to catch our tournament manager today to get a response on this issue, and I myself am unsure of the answer. I will do my best to post a response on this within 24 hours.

All the best,

You will find nothing amiss,
This is because of how this "cheat" works.

Each alias would be at a DIFFERENT MG GROUP, and thus your local records will not show any duplicated players. Maybe these "cheats" will slip up & register different aliases at All Slots & All Jackpots, then you WILL be able to check up on them.

Because Ladbrokes MPV FORCE players to use a second MPV alias, it CLEARLY WORKS when it comes to getting duplicate entries in the GLOBAL events, such as the weekender. The system allows this, although if a single player WON big prizes with both aliases, MG might have something to investigate.

MG are the only ones who can perform a full investigation of the MPV system aliases and underlying details, but so far they refuse to respond to concerned players, and simply tell casino operators who ask about this "not to worry their pretty little heads" about it, or words to that effect.

Hi everyone,

David Brickman here. Regarding aliases, here is the information I have received from our tournament manager.

"When a player has an alias in one casino and he tries to register for a tournament in a different casino, the system will recognize him and ask him to confirm his alias. Nevertheless, it's possible that when the player plays at a different casino he can override this alias. But the same player can not have different aliases in the same casino"

If anybody has any other tournament specific questions please either PM me or post here.

All the best and a great weekend to everyone!

This is simply the "fobbing off" that all players who have tried to get this issue dealt with have received. as I said, there is NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in fixing this centrally.

It is true that a player cannot have different aliases in the same casino, but this is hardly the point. Players can have a different alias in each different MG casino offering these tournaments, and this can result now in about a DOZEN separate aliases per "cheat", and the figure is growing. NONE of this so far involves these "cheats" opening multiple casino accounts with one casino, thus they will not be detected by the usual security checks.

When a player has an alias in one casino and he tries to register for a tournament in a different casino, the system will recognize him and ask him to confirm his alias.

Wrong again, at Ladbrokes, the system DOES NOT recognise an existing alias, but FORCES the player to choose alias number two for the MPV network. Ladbrokes say this is not a fault, but is by design and that players CANNOT use a MPV alias they have registered at a different casino, such as All Jackpots.
"cheating" further simply involves exploiting this by forcing it out in other casinos offering MPV.

All that the Jackpot Factory tournament manager has done is to confirm thst this cheat works, but have said nothing to indicate that it is an issue as far as they are concerned, an attitude shared by ALL casinos who have so far been approached by players regarding this issue.

Players have no choice but to vote with their feet, either join in with this "cheating" to level the playing field, or get out of MPV altogether.

The ONLY tournaments not vulnerable to this "cheat" are those specific to one casino, or one casino group, where internal security would detect a player using one alias at, say, All Jackpots, and another at, say, All Slots.

If it's the same as MGS' poker network (aka Prima), all you have to do is download and register an account at a MGS casino you previously don't have an account with, and you will be given the option to create a new alias. The only requirement that stands is that you have a different email address not associated with any other alias....at least that's how it'd work at the poker rooms. At least Prima was smart enough to only allow you to log in to one poker room at a time, which alleviated people to be able to play with multiple aliases at the same time from the same computer.

One other way is to create an additional user account on your XP/Vista system, log in to that, and go through the steps outlined above. Or, you can simply (temporarily) delete all the MGS software keys from your registry, etc etc...
