Hi all,
most of you are well-known to the referral system. If a new players registers with a reference to an "old" player will get a bonus.
A user misused this system and pushed the own account within the top 20 (he used 190 fake accounts ....) - so I removed them all, and additional many other referral-fake-accounts: In total the sum of 435 (!!!!!!!).
Using such an amount of faked accounts to get monthly cash is not just unfair: As you all mentioned the server is slow within some hours - this seems to be the case when the month-change-script is running. Doing all the stuff for about 435 accounts every day is slowing down the server.
For the future there will be extreme restrictions for referrals:
- For just four new users you will get paid.
- The bonus will be reduced to 10,000 $ instead of 10,000,000$.
- Fake accounts will be removed before bonusses apply, myself will monitor this accounts
Bye,
Tobias
