[BUG] Wager event not returning money when daily timer runs out

[cheets]

Started driving Friday's wager event just couple minutes before the time to participate was up. Set wage to 200k and drove the stage. When submitting the result the game said that the event was over and my time could not be entered. Then I got rewards for the Friday's normal daily event but my wage money (200k) was not returned. Not nice to lose 200k money :(

Ouch, that's a nasty edge case! I've sent you 200k back, and we're looking at a way to stop this happening in the future.

Thanks, really appreciate that :)

I gave some thought for the time limit in dailys etc. but it's not very easy thing to prevent. I mean it's hard to stop players from starting the event even thought they might not have time to run it. But I guess the only problematic case is this wager event as you could lose money if it's not returned. In other cases you just "lose" time if you miss the deadline.

Hi Darren. I had the same problem. Any chance I could have the $182,320 credits reinstated.
