Today's my birthday so everyone is free to bet up to 6 items ;)

LAYS FOR 4$ LOL

That's exactly what they did, you must spend $5

Fixed offers queue which got blocked (most likely)

This happens when you don't have any bet, I'll make a fix for it soon.
Payouts today weren't ended as early as they should be as I wanted to use them to see how a new patch will impact performance. It should vastly reduce the general load on bots and how they behave with many consecutive users making bets/payouts.
Also for this match (since the last 100 or 200 bets) I've been trying to smartly balance between keeping number of bots accepting bets for a single relatively low and not getting throttled by Steam (2 calls/second per API key).
The issue where offer was being marked as accepted and bet wasn't being added has also been fixed as well as the startup time of bots.
There is still a couple of things to do that can improve performance, but I think ESEA final wasn't that bad already given that it was 4 times bigger than i52 in terms of page views (250,000 across 2 days which meant 955770 hits for the website).

We also passed 10,000 dollars bet today :O

Can we assume each map got 20% of the votes except for Granary which got 40%?
Amount of people satisfied with Granary staying may be lower than if any of the maps won, which is why it's better to ask "which maps are you ok playing on" and allowing multiple choice.

His VAC ban is not the best advertisement :)

Feel free to add me :)

I don't think it's a good idea not to use spread which is somewhat of a standard in betting and guarantess much fairer payouts just because some team isn't discouraged to throw otherwise.
It is still possible to catch them if they do so and the potential punishment is harsh enough to make it not worth it for them (1 year ban for a player and/or organization involved in ESEA)..
If I give you right I'm basically saying that all matches without money on them (regular ESEA season, all UGC games, regular ETF2L season for some teams) are likely to be rigged which isn't really a case.

It's good to send a photo of a CD-Key of your retail game linked in account with ticket number somewhere near (either separate piece of paper or you can just write it near the key). That's what they asked me to do.

Didn't expect to see it :O
