This player created a 2+2 thread about the matter yesterday: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...hread-1770490/

However, it was pointed out that Betonline hasn't yet denied him the jackpot -- only that he thinks that's likely to occur.

I actually think they probably will deny it, citing some lame terms of service where the player has to be not folded, and that the disconnection folded him.

Really brutal if he doesn't get it. Might be the worst online disconnect in poker history.

If you look at the top of the screen, you'll see that the bad beat jackpot was $349k or so.

Here are the BBJ rules: https://promotions.betonline.ag/bad-beat-jackpot

20% player with Bad Beat
15% winner of the hand
12.5% players at the table
12.5% players at other BBJ tables
35% reseed
5% fee

In this case, he would have gotten 15% (about $52,500), the guy with quads would have gotten 20% (almost $70k), the other 4 players at the table would have shared 12.5% (meaning 3.125% each -- a little over $10.5k), about $43k would have been shared among the other BBJ tables, and the remainder of the jackpot would have been reseeded and taken as fees.

So he wasn't even the one most screwed here!

They've locked the 2+2 thread at his request, which I think is stupid, because the thread being open puts more pressure on Betonline to do the right thing!
