It's impossible for micro-stakes to get "Sit and Crush" or "The Beast"
Looking at the point system and doing a little math (unless I did it wrong...not likely), it seems impossible for a micro-stakes player to get any part of either the "Sit and Crush" or "The Beast".
This tells me these systems are skewed to people that already have money and only giving pipe dreams to those that don't.
For instance: my micro-stakes SNG's I play 2 to 4 times a day in the $1.50 SNG I get 1.95 points + when I place third I get .40 points. Winning 2.35 points per game if I place at least 3rd place in the SNG. I Place in SNG’s ITM 55% to date according to Poker Tracker 4. The times I don’t place I’ll get .20 points less or 2.15 points for playing the SNG.
Currently or as this was written, the leader board shows somebody with 1370.25 points and it’s only the 3rd of the month, which means for me winning the percentage of games I win, to get that many points in just 3 days I would have had to play in 621.724 games or 207 games a day, if that were even possible or spend $341.55 a day in SNG's, and if placing just 3rd and not better (don't feel like doing the math)55% of the time would win $307 with a net loss of $33 a day, or $1008 a month to win a couple hundred dollars more.
Don’t get me wrong I am glad I have a place to play as I live and Florida, but these promotions are only geared to give money to people with money and cannot fulfill a person’s dream of getting into the Main event unless they already had the wherewithal to do so and I believe is extremely misleading.
Any way ACR can even the field and actually give everybody a chance to win regardless of how much money they spend. I mean with high hands it doesn’t matter if you sit at a straight two table or a high stakes table everybody has the same odds.

3 games for 9 winners or just 3 winners? How could the site give away the package for the ones that happened right away? I thought it was triggered once the buyins from the sng reach 37,500. Was it pointless to play them after the first packages were awarded? Or would more winners be chosen if the rake generated enough buyins for the jackpot?
Next year I hope you announce in advance when they are starting the jackpot wsop sng. At least a week would be nice. Maybe you did and I missed it. Wish I won. Every sng was the minimum prize pool.

Being the Sit and Crush a progressive race indeed, the most you play the highest place you will be able to climb towards the leaderboard and earn a higher prize. However, there are other ways to boost your SnG points:
- On demand tournaments award twice as many points as other Sit and Crush
- Happy hours: Check our happy hours schedule by accessing the following link: https://www.americascardroom.eu/online-poker-promotions/sit-and-crush/#tabs-3 that will allow you to win also twice as many points regardless the sit and go type you play.
- Stay away from HU SnG`s as those do not award points towards the race
Also remember that the SnC prize is split in Cash Prizes and tournament prizes, while the cash will be awarded depending on the position you finish in the race, the tournament prize will be awarded equally among all the qualified players receiving an entry to a special tournament on Sunday`s at 08:00 pm ET that may take you to our major events online and live such as the Beast, PCPC and even the WSOP.

Your solution of never offering a tournament to use the tickets, removing them from my account, and offering no compensation was a great solution. Thanks. Glad i didn't worry.

I apologize for the misunderstanding, I sent this to the Manager and I'm following up this case so, please bear with me. Once he provides me the solution I will send you a PM or I will post it on here. I appreciate your patience.
Just a quick note to let ACR know that I still don't like the new Avatars. I just don't get it. Too gimmicky, and loud, if you will. I've never been a superhero, cartoon kind of guy. Still, overall, I thank you for providing a nice option for US players.
Just wondering is there any ACTIVE (that actually work) promotion codes for Winning Poker Network sites (preferably BLACK CHIP or America's Card Room) I tried ...(if i recall correctly)... "WV100" and didn't get a positive result...also tried "CHIPPED"...but think that is a one time use code for first deposit.
And I can't find an active one on the on any of the WPN promotion pages for ACR, BCP (https://blackchippoker.eu/poker-promotions/?simple&WebTrack= ), Poker Host, Tr♥e Poker, or YA-poker(dot)com.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I play a lot of O8 games, and it seems like they last way too long. I think it is because they do not have ante's at any level.
I will vote to add ante's to the structure with the main intent of shorting these games. Starting immediately after any re-buy / add-on break that might be in effect.

I don't think anyone every responded to you. It sounds like you are misunderstanding how jackpot SNGs work. At the start of each SNG, the multiplier is randomly determined according to the frequency charts. However, each SNG is an independent event. The multiplier of one SNG does not effect that of another.
If a given multiplier is expected to occur 1 in 37,500 times, then in the theoretical long run, it will, but in actuality, it may occur 10 times or 100 times or even theoretically (but of course extremely unlikely) all 37,500 times, or, 0 times (there is a 37% chance that something that is expected to happen 1 in 37,500 times doesn't happen in 37,500 trials).
If a given game has a high multiplier, the next game is no more or less likely to have a high multiplier. The first game played, the 100th, and 1000th, and the last all have the same chance at a high multiplier. The rake generated by a game format does not impact the jackpot multiplier (for SNG 2.0 there is a progressive jackpot which increases as more people play without a jackpot getting hit but even still, the chance of a jackpot does not increase when the jackpot is large).
To answer your specific questions, it's not at all pointless to play and winners are just as likely to be generated as they ever were!
