  Fix ur sorry excuse for a time bank. Adding more time to the timebnak is not the answer. Make a refreshing timebank that refreshes for the people who dont abuse it. All your WCOOP tournys wind up with final tbale of peopel playing 100's of thousands of monies with no time to think. Look at the WCOOP 5k this year the main event. i rember 5 handed or so players chatting about how they have no timebank. 
   Pretty simple fix stars and will make a lot of players happy.

They at the very least need to have a countdown for when yr timebank has run out because you can't tell when yr hand is about to be folded. Nothing is more tilting that typing in a value bet only to have your hand folded.

acecatcher26: 

They also need to make it where the time bank doesnt start draining unless u click extra time.  Sometimes I have to get up or something and come back to zero timebank when they should just fold you if you dont "request time"...  Also, plz  make a auto addon button available from the start of a tourney.

Plattsburgh: 

My answer: have a refresh timebank button, allow people to use them a fixed amt of times. ex. 2 times a month you can refresh your timebank.

That will stop abuse of it.

100%

Regarding why the time bank is set up the way it is, part of playing in a tournament is managing the time one has to act, to include using the time bank.  It was designed from the first (when PokerStars invented the time bank for tournament poker) to give each player a set amount of time per tournament which they can then manage however they decide is best.  A time bank which refreshes may reduce or even negate that skill's value.

Regarding any potential changes to the time bank, we will take another look at this, though of course I cannot promise anything at this time.  Thank you as always for providing us with feedback.

1st refresh - in the money

2nd refresh - final table

And how about - time bank stops after 5 seconds unless you've hit the timebank button intentionally.
