Bit of an odd one that, the short answer is that - at present - there is a software limitation, in that, as of now, the software needs the MTT to run for one second - literally - before the rebuy functionality kicks in.
I asked the question of Super Sam, & he tells me he will be putting this forward for consideration, & it's likely to get a green light, though probably not wise to give a timeframe at the moment.
Similar answer to the one above, with one crucial difference - this one has an extra step in the process, as it first needs to get approval from the "Compliance" team. In fact that process has begun, but once Compliance approve, it then goes into another set of processes, & has to establish it's place in the queue.
It will happen, but, as with the other question, I don't think it's wise to give dates, I've been bitten too many times by that one.
A quick overview of the process of these things. I only have a basic knowledge of how they get sorted, but from my distant vantage point, it seems to work something like this..........
1) Many things need the nod from "Compliance" first. In Online Gaming, "Compliance" is God. If they say no, then that's it. So until they have made a ruling, nothing gets done.
2) Then the Poker Team assess the viability, need, & priority. They have to balance customer journey with commercial logic.
3) If it gets past that step, it goes to the Development Team, or "Tribe", & they have a very full inbox, with all sorts needing constant tweaking, removing or adding. So a "priority list" exists.
4) Once the software functionality has been constructed, it gets tested in the Test Environment. The Test Environment is invisible to players, but is part of the site itself.
5) Now, not in all cases, but in many cases, it needs approval from the Regulator. Any tweaks to the basics of the site need approval from the Regulator.
6) Any of these changes which go on the App - & most do - then need to be submitted to Apple, who do their own testing &, all being well, then give approval.
Many little tweaks can be done almost instantly, but changes to basic functionality are a bit of a three act play.
