    Default tournament fees

    because i don't play at a lot of different sites i only have a few others to compare with. but fulltilt charged me .50c for a $2 touny. seems a bit excessive to me. i thought most places charged about 10% of entry.

    Looks like 50 cents is the fee for all the low buyin private tourneys, even the dollar ones (thats really ridiculous). I don't see any other type of tourneys that charge .50 fee for 2 dollar tournaments, so I guess that's the price you pay, but on the flip side, there is added money so I guess it balances out.

    10% is the norm everywhere else tk , but i noticed it dropped to 20c for todays at FT....maybe Bob had a word , or it was a mistake in the first place.

    Default not sure

    hi

    not sure if they have finally changed their policy on this - great if they have

    but certainly in the past they had a minimum 50 cent reg fee on private games which was why we upped the buyins to $2 so it made it at least percentage wise a bit more reasonably

    although far from ideal as we normally have 10% fees on games elsewhere fulltilt did seem out of step on this

    lets hope it is something that they have changed rather than a mistake

    cheers SB

    FT has always been brutal to affiliate managers and with excess rake to those wanting to make a bigger better site? FT reminds me of government, will always take with any opportunity.


    With that being said, just last weekend, Carbon and a Thanksgiving trny with $500
    but they up'd the rake too, to even it out
