The hype was too much for the website to handle. Getting Internal Server Error.

Sorry, the english is not my first language and while I do my best it's easy to mix those words :x

There were some problems with the payouts and betting. I'll do my best to give everyone items back and add the grand final games.

Could you send me the UUID (the code thing in the trade offer) on webmaster@saloon.tf

The bot doesn't check the status for the payouts which gives you a lot more time to accept the trade, it's better this way I believe.

The concurrent database connections limit was too low.

Don't worry about it, it's still in beta for a reason. If you get it running for the Grand Finals though, that would be amazing.

Will you be able to get it running for the lower bracket final game?

payout doesnt work for me

Thanks for helping me with the beta!
Unfortunately adding refund urls for existing bets turned out to be impossible, and I still don't quite get why some payouts arn't working though I have some suspections. During the next couple of days I'll be fixing that stuff and adding some fallbacks for Steam reporting wrong statuses, unfortunately that means that I am not going to add grand final games as I don't want problems to stack until I come with an easy solution.

If you believe you lost your items please send the support ticket and you should receive them tommorow if you didn't then please do that at https://saloon.tf/support/. Be patient though as doing it manually might take some time, but don't worry no items are lost, even if the bet wasn't added they are still in the inventory!

Done.

Thanks! Got my hats back from bot that took them but didnt place a bet, did it require a lot of work to return all items that bots took but didnt place a bet since it seemed quite common problem that happened to many users?

It happened to 20 something users, so I wouldn't call it common and all of them I asked, but one said that they accepted the tradeoffer, even though they weren't linked to it diregarding it's description.

It was a little bit hard cause I had to make this:

You have a few unread emails by the way.

exactly 2

looks like this is coming along very well, getting ready to do some cevo-p betting

lets go!

Will this be ready by the time GXL or ESEA LAN rolls around? I do think if this site runs properly it can help merge the trading and comp community which will help grow both. If there is any way I can help out let me know. I'm apart of the beta but I don't think anything has happened since the second day of i52.

Yeah, I think there'll be bets for GXL, I'm extremely busy but the development is going on:)

ded

Yeah, if everything goes ok, then yes

Sorry I failed you recently, but as it turns out it's really hard to predict such things, especially when your time is limited by random factors like school.
All I'll say this time is that I'm putting a lot of hours into this project and it's likely to happen.

Hey,
Who do I contact to set up a sponsorship / registration as a tournament league?

Cheers.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. webmaster@saloon.tf
Sorry for the useless bump mods!

Work in progress

Awesome to see you're still working on this, man. Take your time; I know the final product is going to be amazing.

Any news on whether this will be working for ESEA lan? Because that would be awesome. :)

ded

Unfortunately not :'(

NOT ESEA LAN RELATED

I've run into a problem where using items from previous bets to balance payouts got very resource demanding and seeing no other way I'll have to replace it with something else, but before I do it I wanted to ask you for the input on the following ideas.
What is this about at all? Well unlike money you can't easily split a TF2 item in any number of parts you want which makes it hard, to make payouts fair, they will always be a little smaller than they should and there will be some leftover items which should be given back to the winners in some way.

Of course I could just keep them to avoid all the problems, but as I always state this not just TF2Lounge.

So there are two things I could think of, the first is to give the most valuable item to the player with the biggest difference, a least less valuable to the player who expected a little less and so on. Now this raises a problem because players with 2 scraps of difference won't get anything and someone else could get the earbuds with a few keys of an expected payout.

The second idea is holding a huge raffle after each competition with a number of entries proportional to the how much less you got than you hoped to get. That could help us get some hype, but almost everyone would be a loser.

The last idea is the one I like the best since it's a little more fun and more people win, even if the prizes are smaller. I could give out some lottery tickets after each match (again basing on the difference) which upon activating will work just like CS:GO cases with a similar interface and a number of slots equal to the number of the tickets released, either blank or with the items.

What do you guys think about new colors and logo?

That looks sweet, much crisper.

I agree, it looks much more professional now. The logo stands out more with the new color scheme and font.

Looking gooooood.
The icon you are using for bets says more auction or courtroom to me.
