Ladbrokes February Tomb Raider tournament - Question.

[umissme]

Well the casinos dont seem to care, I have asked them to pass this on my emails to microgaming and this guy is still playing all the free CENTRAL tournaments.

Missed this thread last month..I have been watching this issue for awhile now and am in complete agreement that people have several aliases. I followed a couple I suspected during "free" tournaments and found that they play as one alias for the first 5 minutes alloted then obviously switch casinos and use a second alias and play again for 5 minutes. You never see these aliases playing at the same time...so to use my favorite expression..if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..you know the rest. As we usually have 15 minutes to play then 3 different aliases could be used giving them a very unfair advantage. When you have up to 1000 people registered for these tournies I just can't see how MG has the time or the manpower to follow this up.

They can sort it out, they get PAID to sort this out.
The guy is still playing the freerolls
...whocares... only the the players

That's a very small number... They could sort it easily and instantly.

Just a few simple checks on the login details/ID's of the suspected names... That said, surely anyone up to something 'wrong' wouldn't be so stupid as to use such similar names... Maybe they're 'connected' - but in a legitimate way... They may just be making the most out of the system...

Well if MG can sort things out "easily and instantly" then I'm still waiting for the $6 win on a 5 person $2 tournie from 6 months ago. Even sent them a screen shot. The hosting casino eventually gave up waiting and gave me the funds by way of a bonus. That and a host of other problems I've had with tournies is the reason I believe MG just can't (or won't) deal with the mutiple alias problem.

.....yet the certainly found the time to F*** with the server and make the tournaments not worth playing from "barely worth playing".

The news that they just don't care about players using 2, 3, or more aliases in freerolls just further undermines the system.

Maybe, despite the obvious sub 50% payouts, they are STILL not making money because many of the players registered are duplicates of far fewer, and they don't pay, but hope for a lucky hit in the first free rounds with many aliases.

WELL WELL WELLL

I sent ladbrokes an email saying I wasn't putting any money on the site till this was made clear as I didn't want to be seen cheating (because I would have 2 aliases)

the reply (I think they just want me to put $$ on the site as this isn't right.)

This is a joke

WHY THEN, does the software (when working) ask you to confirm your CURRENT MPV alias rather than allow you to choose another. While you CAN choose another, this is achieved by LYING to the prompt "is this you", where you are CLEARLY supposed to use an existing alias, rather than create several. The terms for the MPV even state this, they say that you are permitted only ONE alias "over the MPV network".

Since this has come from MG themselves, and the question has been asked a number of ways, including by myself, we have to assume that having, and using, multiple aliases is NOT "CHEATING" as far as MG and the casinos are concerned. (Perhaps they feel this is a price worth playing to make more money out of a single player through enabling them to double, or even treble, up on PAID tournaments). Given that many tournaments now allow up to 999 REBUYS, it seems that MG and casinos do not have a problem with players spending as much as they want to win.

Players, though, probably see this as completely undermining the original idea behind these MPV events, as it is now possible to BUY your way to the top, rather than it being down to luck of the slots.

We should also see NO COMPLAINTS WHATSOEVER from CASINOS about them having to "void" anything citing "multiple MPV aliases", and ANY casino that tries this after the above ruling from Microgaming should be fast-tracked to roguedom, as their dispute should be with MICROGAMING, and not players caught up in this "dollars before fair play" situation that MG and casinos have morphed MPV into.

I totally agree,

Would rather believe it if the email was from MICROGAMING.
But as you cant email them and ask, we have to believe

Lets be careful of the wording here..MG confirmed it is "possible" to create more than one alias, they are not saying that we "should" or "can" do so. I would not want to be a multiple alias winner of the $20,000 weekender and wonder if my winnings could be confiscated.

The problem with this thread is that you are giving out information that a player might benefit from using multiple aliases.

Quite, but Microgaming seem OK with this, and Ladbrokes casino are CERTAINLY OK with this to the extent that is is COMPULSORY on their site.

Players seem to think this is "cheating", because it does indeed offer serious advantages to players YET TO REGISTER, while we who registered earlier did so believing that we were supposed to have only ONE alias overall, and are now faced with dealing with the confusion of having to have extra aliases, but NOT receiving the benefit under the new tournament structure. MG have completely given up on the idea of one person, one entry, as nearly all tournaments now seem to have 999 REBUYS available, so it doesn't matter so much about multiple aliases, now that it helps make more money for the MPV.

Let's not forget, MG and the casinos can ONLY GAIN from players taking advantage of this loophole, as it means more buy-ins, and no matter how many players use multiple aliases, even in freerolls, MG and the casinos do not pay out any more in prize money, it is NOT the same as players having multiple accounts, as this DOES mean the casino pays more, through extra bonuses.

Hopefully, by having this out in the open, MG will reconsider this lax attitude, and enforce the original MPV idea of ONE alias per player, and FORCE Ladbrokes to comply by allowing players to use their main MPV alias on their site, rather than having to create a second one.

all i know is that when i made my mg alias for the tourny's i made it wrong so therefore i didn't like it and asked royal vegas if it could be changed and they flat out have said "no way"only 1 per customer....you can't even erase one and then create a whole new 1 where then you would only have 1 alias but nope not gonna happen so i'm not sure what their smoking over at sad blokes

 

[umissme]

I asked alljackpots if it was ok to play both my aliases on the shared tourneys

Q: What is an alias and how do I get one?

In order to protect your privacy, your real name or account number is not
When you click the Join button and register for your first tournament, you will be prompted to create an alias. The alias you create will remain your alias for all subsequent tournaments that you join. Choose your alias carefully, and remember these rules pertaining to aliases:

1. You cannot have multiple aliases. Each player has only one alias across all Microgaming casinos.
2. No offensive aliases are permitted. If you select an alias that is considered offensive, your alias will be rejected, and you must select another alias.
3. You cannot change your alias.

Yes...I care lol...glad you found that for us..I'm sure I read that when I first joined the tournies..that's why it was nagging at me that only 1 alias is allowed. Have seen ant nik all over the place too and many others as well. Don't know what MG will do about it if anything at all but they obviously don't have safeguards in place to prevent it.

 

[umissme]

Still awaiting a reply from ladbrokes (don't think I will get one)
Maybe they don't know microgaming email address or phone number.
It's just pass the buck
I know the answer you know the answer

1 alias is allowed
