HELP! Can't get Tygem Betting Points

Post by nadoss »

One of the reasons I was most excited to get Tygem running was because I'm a big fan of betting meaningless currency on things (mostly because I don't possess real currency)! However, when I started playing I found I have no betting points, and haven't been able to get any. I tried clicking the "free points if you have less than 200,000" link on the site, but it said that it was limited and didn't give me anything. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how to fix it. I found one redditor with a similar problem but it didn't seem to be answered.

Same problem here, I made a new account two months ago and it hasn't gotten any points. The one I used before got them without me doing anything. Perhaps it's a new problem with the english client?

What'S the sense of betting points anyway? One cannot get anything for it, at least in the English Client.

I have never used tygem and know little about it. But I seem to remember reading somewhere that you cannot get these points unless you have a Korean (or is it Chinese) IP address.

I may be wrong.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
