Well first of all, SBR could have at least communicated my complaint with them to see what
their preference for dealing with it was before arbitrarily deciding that it wasn't legit.
From a
PR and fairness perspective, I actually think compensating me makes a lot of sense, especially given Pinnacle's reputation for welcoming sharks and winners. It would be an insignificant sum to them, and it would show goodwill to the rest of the community. Remember, there's no way for them to prove that the RNG was behaving according to the actual gameplay rules, and not the stated rules. If we agree on that, then who's taking shots on who, right? I've proven there was a mistake in the way the game was operating. I've also shown my results are pretty unlikely. The burden should be on them to prove fairness now, not me. I've already raised reasonable doubt.
Perhaps you've misunderstood the situation. The stated rules were not +EV. The actual rules programmed into the game were.
Your suggestion of letting Pinnacle know is absurd from the player's point of view. How do I benefit from that? By alerting them to the error and hoping they pay me some kind of finder's fee out of the kindness of their hearts? By telling them there's an error in their game and extorting them? Were Pinnacle going to reimburse every player who touched the game because their rules were wrong?
You make me out to be some kind of thief. I didn't cheat the game. I wasn't counting cards. I could have been a square player with a strategy card in front of me who made the right decisions 99.9% of the time. Would that have made me ethically questionable too? Forget the fact that I'm smart enough to spot the error. There are others players out there who might have lost money unfairly and not been smart enough to know it. I speak for them now too.
As you can see from my original complaint, I had HOPED to settle this with them privately, but it's out of the question now.
