I tried to speak with them about this in the past when they used to respond by email and all I got was robotic answers, they just refused to entertain my query. Saying that, I still enter almost every week like a fool I am. I've only ever placed once or twice. Once I did place quite high when it was a million race and got about 500 dollars. That was a win on Viking Hoard where I managed to climb to the 250x multiplier. I did also play the other week and hit quite high on Cashzuma and I'm sure it paid over the 10,000 point threshold, like 20 or 30,000 points or something.
back in those million races the max points per spin was 100k and not 10k, and in the first ones it was uncapped

If its not just people straight up 'hacking' the leaderboard there must be some kind of exploit possible when using an expensive ante-bet or something.
Not even Whos the bride will give you a 100x+ win 99 times out of 100.

Pretty obvious there's some slot being exploited to farm points, and they seem to have stopped monitoring it.
For example, they used to remove Sticky Fruits from races because players could stack bonuses at high stakes then switch to a lower stake and hit a massive multiplier calculated on the average bet.
On top of that, they always used to pull slots from the race if someone was using them to take the top spots. What's happening right now is statistically impossible without cheating.

Yes, their casino promotions are pretty abysmal too. And on the poker side, guarantees are way down across the board than they were from even 1-2 years ago. The Sunday Million has become almost obsolete, even the Sunday Storm ($11 entry) guarantee only reaches 60 or 70k, when it was 100k for years.

I agree they're not as strong as they used to be. In poker they've lost ground to GG PokerOk, but for casino or sports betting they're still a trusted brand that's unlikely to scam anyone. I think they just stopped monitoring the slot races because the prize pools aren't that big. And I doubt they're cheating in their own tournaments to avoid paying out.
On a different note, before these races they had an incredibly +EV blackjack promotion. They'd shuffle a lucky card into the deck and if it landed on you, you'd get a bonus anywhere from $100 to $1,000. If it landed on the dealer, every player at the table got the bonus. I made $15k in 3 months just from those cards. Used to spend 2-3 hours a day hunting for them until too many people caught on and they shut it down.

Ah, the luxury of being able to play for 2-3 hours a day with the same casino for 3 months - near enough impossible for a UK player now.
Nice going on that $15k.

Yeah, that was a while back, not sure if it was available to UK players but I think it might have been.
You guys have some solid bonuses right now with a 10x wager, why not just clear them all?

I won $10 on this a couple of weeks back. Hit 3 x 10,000 pointers in a round and ended up on c. 37000 points. Still nowhere near the top though. No idea how they do it.

RIP the $1m race - UK players anyway and probably ROW. Although they haven't had a $1m race in aaaaages as far as I am aware, a good 2-3 years possibly.
Think they did a 50k or 100k a few weeks back.
Different times, costly times, harsh times.....

Pokerstars is moving to Betfair, all part of the same Flutter group. Sky Poker and Paddy Power will be coming over to Betfair at a later date as well apparently.
It will still be the same software (but using the Betfair client instead of Pokerstars client) for poker, not sure about casino yet, but ultimately you will be depositing and withdrawing from Betfair and your account will be with Betfair.
This is just for UK users as it stands.

Yeah I got £5.92 which was a pleasant surprise, so I treated myself to a sausage and egg mcmuffin meal with it.
