not only do they not state the 9% taken out of the buyin /rebuy / addon and start tournies 2 min late. Today with only 428 entered in the 35k they decided not enough people were in so they extended the buyin time 20min to get more entries just because they figured they can cheat us some more. That place is a full of crooks and to think I actually think their tourny software is tops and rec. to people before

hmmm... they usually extend it by 4 minutes, but this time is 15 minutes... it is cheating somewhat since it's a guarantee tourney with 35k and they are extending the time so they could cover their own ass...

not the fact they extended a tourney with a promised prize pool. May not be cheating according to some people but I consider this practice a site cheating

wow, that came on a pop-up?

you state it as though that is the official reason, so you must have heard it from them.

you certainly would not take a delyaed start time and put your own spin on the reason, would you?

why would only 1 tourny start 20 min late all other games and tourneys going as normal no connection problems.

i don't know why, but the ONLY use of the word GUARANTEE is next to the prize fund. where does it say guaranteed to start on time?

even IF it were held for more entrants, this is no reason to call them crooks. this is a business, and to continue to provide a safe, NON-CRASHING environment, they should be given the benefit of being asked why it was delayed before declaring them shady.

i have no clue why it started late, but would have asked first. you would have had an answer from support faster than it took you to make the original post.

Since it is a rebuy, why not allow more in? I prefer the higher payouts.

Having already declared Paradise a scurrilous, scandalous site, why would you continue to play there?

One would have thought after your previous fiasco(s), you would have cashed out by now. Must be something you like...

Its there perogative when the tournament starts, haven't you ever seen late starts at a B&M? I agree with the fees issue but I don't see a problem here.
