Your Bounty?????

edited January 2015 in Poker Chat
Hello all!!!

I'm sure it must have been asked before but what happens to your bounty when you win a tourney??

(not a brag) but I won a tourney on Sunday night and I've just been going through my recent account history and it doesn't add up.

The total I received was prize money and head prizes but the lobby says there was 39 quid which was my head value.

Where is this 39 quid?  Any of the moderators shed some light on this?

Personally I can't think of any reason why this doesn't come back to the winning player.

    You win prize money and then head prizes. Included in this is your own head value.

    Add up all the ones values in the mtt and will add up to total prize pool. I won one today and is just stated in your final head prize

    If worried contacts customer service :)

    hi cow

    i think you got £126 in head prizes.  this was more than double the head prizes that the second place person received.  it is safe to say that you got all the 6 heads you took plus your own value.

    it looks fine... and wd

    I'm trying to remember now. It is possible that the heads I took valued 87 and they added that into my value totaling 126.

    If that's the case it Seems daft to display it the way it is in the lobbies though.

    Ive emailed them anyway, will be interested to see what they say about it.

    Why is it daft? Your head prize is what you have taken from heads, therefore if lucky enough to win it your head worth is added on, would make no sense to have mtt winnings plus head prize plus own head prize. All goes into head prize.

    But great brag well done :)

    Each of the 109 times (so far) I've won a Bounty Hunter tournament I was correctly awarded my own head prize :)

    As others have said if you don't believe it just go to the lobby, add up add the head prizes won player-by-player and you'll see it matches the 'Heads Prize Pool' in the information section.

    Just a tap-in, but exquisitely thrashed into the back of the net.

    I've just received a reply to my e-mail and it reads as follows: Dear David we have looked into your query and have decided that the lobby layout is ridiculous and could be a lot clearer regarding "your value" figure and whether or not it's added to your total winnings.. We have decided to award you the sum of £39.01 to your account and are deeply sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Wow.

    So you got forty quid just for moaning about something that you are actually wrong about.

    Dilemma indeed.
