    Is this Bush League?

    You pay an entry fee for a Blackjack Tournament. You win a cash prize, there is a rollover on the winnings?

    Grant it, the amount won was small, under $100. I can see if the entry was comped, but to rollover on something you had to pay for seems

    Yes, totally ridiculous.

    Imagine if you won a poker tournament at any major poker site and they told you that you had to play a certain amount of time/rake before you could collect your winnings... no one would stand for that.

    I would have never entered such a blackjack tournament in the first place. Even a free-entry tournament should at worst have match-play coupons, and at second-best play-till-you-lose coupons. Best is cash, obv.

    Who pulled this stunt on you? That is absurd.

    That does seem to be a little bit steep.

    Was there house money in the pot? Was the rollover stated in the prize/contest info?

    If you paid $5 to enter a 10-man contest that paid out $100, it starts to seem less unreasonable..

    Yeah, if that is all member money that is crap. But if it like what Heritage runs I think their 1x to 3x rollovers are more then fair.

    usually the entries in this contest are free. (u get 1000$ entry for free with each deposit).. that may be why there is rollover?

    if u did pay for an entry, to be fair the rest of the people in the contest didnt. lol. but im sure by asking live chat or calling u can get it cleared up or explained?

    worse case scenerio PM or call Shark79 http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=7260 , he will be in this thread later if he notices it is about justbet/betguardian
