    Damn. OPR was working same as ever this morning and 5 mins ago i checked some peoples stats and its just all *'s. Now we all need to opt-in for it to display ROI and profit...booo no longer can we OPR a donk after a bad beat and find that sweet satisfaction of seeing him down thousands of $'s :(

    looks like you can just multiply average buyin* number of tourneys to find how many much money in buyins they have spent though.

    Yeah and also they still show the percentiles and stars in the top left corner so looks like not showing the profit is pretty pointless, just annoying : /

    I never opted in on the db and all of my info is still there, as is everyone else I've looked up over the last 6 months. I remember way back when, nat mentioned you might be able to opt out, but the only person I ever saw do that was nsxt2/diablo vt

    All tracking sites are supposed to have been doing this for nearly a year now. We were fortunately unaffected, as we've always been an opt-in only site and also don't display any information regarding profit/ROI

    Well, "supposed to have been doing" isn't quite right. We were told by stars that it was some sort of interim/future policy that they were implementing to give the tracking sites time to get their act together. But that they were not going to enforce it yet. I've been told in recent weeks they're considering actually fully implementing the policy at some point soon, but I haven't received the final word to flip the switch at BLUFF. I guess maybe now is the time to do so?

    Am I crazy because I remember having to transfer 2 or 3 cents to opt in and got 2 month free?

    Because I'm not ready to be losing my mind.

    You're not crazy. We've collected thousands of opt-ins over the last year or so with the express intent of being able to show the most complete Stars MTT database. That way when we flip the switch, our subscribed users will still see a lot of players with "full" info.
