assuming a player win the top prize 3 times in a row which is around $60 in prize money (kinda impossible), he will still need to wager $3000 to get to rank 2 to be able to claim the BFG from the free to play funfury battle.
this contest can't really be abused with the way it's designed.
In my
previous reply, I had said that BetFury team tried to create a fair situation with this rule for all the users. But now it looks like 'bitmover' is absolutely right here. I just checked the leaderboard and noticed that most of the users are new at BetFury, and some of them don't have wagering activity with real funds.
Therefore, users are creating multiple accounts to just participate in that tournament. There are 300 winners for the small $150 prizepool. It isn't easy for anyone to get the first rank prize 3 times from that contest. Lower rank users are getting some cents from it. Therefore, 3 times winning limit with 300 winners is really a crazy rule. Users are actually abusing it by creating new accounts. At least 3k unique users are getting prizes from it every month.
you have a point, but since this is only available to new users, and the fact you can only join 3 times, ofc most of them will be new users, and only like the top 10 get good rewards, the rest all get between a $1 and $0.05.
the only unfair part i see is that normal players only get 3 chances to win something, while someone could keep making new accounts to chase the top prize as you said. but even then, it's not worth the trouble imo, since they still need to make a deposit and wager $3k in 30 days to claim whatever they won.
and i'm sure betfury has a system in place to catch those farmers, and tbh, the funfury free battle is not actually as great as it looks.
you would be very lucky to win some $ out of it, but most likely you will just break even after the needed wager, assuming you actually win the top prize at least once.
let's say you win the top prize $19.5 the first time, $2.63 the 2nd time, and $4.5 the 3rd time totaling $26.63 is locked prize. now you will need at least $30 deposit to clear the $3k wager if you play on an orginal with 1% house edge, and you will also get some cashback, rakeback, weekly/monthly bonus and level up bonus. if all go well you will end up with like ~$4 in profit.
imagine going thru all that just to make $3 in profit. you need to have a real big loose screw in your head to think that's worth it to farm/abuse, assuming you don't get banned before you can do anything with that $3.
that's why i said this free funfury battle can't really be abused with the way it's designed.
too much yapping from me on something that is not that important, i know
