Cash Game Auto-Boot Tweak
Thursday, September 8. 2011

Not too long ago I added a feature that would auto-boot players that had sat away at a Cash Game table for 20+ minutes. I have now tweaked this so that it will only remove them from the table after 20 minutes if there are no other open seats at the table.

Login CAPTCHA Fixed
Tuesday, September 6. 2011

There has been an issue for a while now that caused around 30-40% of you all to have to enter a CAPTCHA every time you logged in. It was a very odd issue because I was never able to get it to happen on any computers or browsers here, but I finally figured out a fix for it and it should no longer happen.

Charity Update
Friday, September 2. 2011

Great job on the charity everyone! We area already over a quarter of the way there after just a few days, which just goes to show what a great community we have here. I've added another option to the charity to try and boost it along even more. You can now donate points, where each point donated adds 10,000 chips to the total. So donating just 5 points adds 50,000 to the total fund, but of course you can donate as little as 1 point (and at around twice the going market rate).

New MT: Item Thursdays
Tuesday, August 30. 2011

This new Main Tournament is a little different than the others. Yes, it is for up to 18 players, and yes it is once per week, but no, you don't buy-in with chips or poker credits. The buy-in for this tournament will be an item, which will be selected randomly out of all non-exclusive items that have a rarity of 50-100. Everyone will have to use the same item to enter, and the items will be split up amongst the top 4 winning players like a normal MT.

MT Blinds & Poker Faces
Tuesday, August 30. 2011

A bug has been fixed that kept Main Tournament blinds from going past 500/1000.

A caching issue with poker faces and the recently added CDN have been resolved so that when you upload a new poker face it should actually update immediately instead of 24 hours later.

PokerRPG Charity Fund
Monday, August 29. 2011

Yes, the charity fund is back at last! This time there are a few changes and some more choice. Instead of one charity being pre-selected, the fund will work like a raffle, and the winner of that raffle will get to select the charity that is donated to (out of a list of 5 pre-selected). The achievement has been adjusted as well to better reflect the state of the PokerRPG economy. There will be a link in the top left of every page for a limited time, and after that you will be able to find the charity from the points/prizes menu.

Cash Game banking prevention
Wednesday, August 24. 2011

Minimum buy-ins have received a little tweak to prevent people from banking at cash games. When you leave a cash game with more chips than the minimum buy-in, the table you were at and the chips you left with gets recorded. This data is stored for 15 minutes. If you try to buy back into that same table within those 15 minutes, your minimum buy-in will be adjusted to be the chips that you left the table with (or the maximum buy-in if you left with more than the max).

Bounty SnG's
Sunday, August 21. 2011

A new type of Sit and Go tournament is now available: Bounty. In a Bounty SnG, 75% of the buy-in goes to the regular prize pool, while 25% is put into a bounty for each player. If you knock a player out, you get their bounty (so, 25% of their buy-in). These winnings go straight to your chip stack outside of the tournament, so it is possible to profit without winning the tournament.

Tuesday, August 16. 2011

Cash games now come with a new button next to poker faces: transfer. When clicking on this button between hands, you may transfer chips that you have at the table to other players at the table. This is ideally used to facilitate side bets, etc.

Various Updates
Monday, August 15. 2011

Items are now grouped together on the "Customize Pad" page just like in the "Quick Stock" page. This makes the page not so long to scroll through, and allows you to easily add multiple of the same item to your pad at once.

There will now be a notice posted into main chat 10 minutes before each MT is to start.

If you are the starter of a bet at The Odds, you can now cancel it before it fills. If you do, you have to pay the 5% fee, and everyone else that has bet will get a full refund.
