A bit of a wall of text but my feelings on it and why I'm not entering. Missed the mentions of me in this thread when forum notifications was broken, the minbet rule is fine with me(I do think USD minbet is wrong and should be .10 but no one here plays in it so its not a huge issue). It's more the level of competition here today, it means you need ~200x for 10th place and it got very expensive if you don't manage to place. With the high volatiltiy slot picks it's actually easy to lose 1000x($200) without qualifying a 200x+ win and losing more than 10th place money($188NZD). I know I'm not alone in this happening often to players here. AG has also not got as many 200%+ deposit bonuses listed onsite these days, not sure who works on that side of the platform to get new offers and casinos but theres less appealing offers available than there were in the past to take advantage of bonus funds when competing against high rollers to have a chance of the big wins. AG also had several casinos listed wrong like 250% but it's actually a 100% initial deposit, 75% second, 75% third etc when it really should just be listed as 100% imo, annoying signing up to said casinos and wasting time finding that out. Then you have the issues of certain casinos having gamelog issues(ie they only display the first 1000 spins and sort from beginning etc) and you don't know that until you have already deposited your $$ and thats a pain the butt as a player when they are required for a valid entry. I've always said the competitions here are generous but for me they are on the expensive side now and beyond my comfort level to compete. Losing 2 or 3 in a row is a mortgage payment I could make sooner, my priorities lie elsewhere. I've listed what other sites have done in the past to make things more fair as their platforms/competitions grew, thats not where AG is going and thats a-ok to stick to big win style comps. The fact is on other platforms you can qualify for 50-250eur prizes in random draws(and bin win ones too) and it only costs you tens of dollars at most to qualify for random draws which is more appealing even if the odds are not great. I don't lose as much and generally get to play slots I prefer rather than forced titles every comp.

I don't know the answer but with the level of competition here now(300-400x required for last place in comps, even for 10eur) it got expensive this year to compete week to week. It's really easy to lose 1000x(200NZD) and not hit a 400x to get a prize of similar value. It isn't really worth the risk when losing 3 comps in a row is a mortgage payment down the drain. As Marius says if it's not financially viable then one shouldn't compete. Other sites have suffered the same issue as they grew larger. The bulk of them got rid of the big win side entirely and went to 30/50/100x win to qualify and pick 10/15 random winners etc to share the prizepool. That way people are not spending too much week to week. Something like premium/accumulator could remain the same. Another way is to split the prizepool, ie 2k pragmatic might be structured: bigwin 1st: 500 2nd: 300 3rd: 200 random prizes 30x or higher to enter 10x100eur

I'm ok with such a minbet size, my only concern is with current market volatility the likes of the NZD shifted 5% over just a few days this week and 0.1EUR suddenly was 0.199775NZD, very close to requiring me paying a ~50% premium at 0.30NZD to meet the over the 0.1EUR rule. Right now it's 0.1938NZD. What date does the conversion rate matter, on the date of the win or the end of the comp. Seems like alot of work for admin to confirm date of win and currency rate on that day etc but thats the most fair way because a qualifying xwin on day 1 not being valid on day 14 is crazy. While people are free to feel I was getting a good deal playing 0.10 NZD they also fail to mention on other providers with weighted minbets(ie 10c EUR/USD, 20c NZD/AUD/CAD) I was paying a 10-15% premium over EUR players without complaint when my currency was stronger and they had an edge. It's easier to just say something like: 10c USD/EUR/GBP 20c NZD/AUD/CAD etc Figure out the euro minbet for future slot titles in question and double it for NZD/AUD/CAD
