One of the most common questions we get on group pulls, one of the biggest questions, and sometimes advice in the comments, is about why we don’t set a stop point, just as Brian Christopher does in his videos when he gets a big win:
I think it would be interesting if on a group pull a win percentage was set and if you hit that, say 25% the pull would be over and the profit would be split. That way everyone would be a winner.

Maybe a silly question? But would it not be better to take that 7 minute massive win, and add that to the stake money remaining and share both totals out? Would that not be worth it?

When players sign up for group pulls, the rules are generally agreed to by everyone in advance. While the rules can vary, ours tends to go like this, with only occasional variations under certain circumstances:
- All of the money is played through once.
- All of the money is played through the same machine.
- All of the money is played through on the same bet.
The main reasons for this are simple. For a standard group pull, each player has a certain number of spins that effectively are for them to come up, introduce themselves, and count as their contribution. In earlier times, players got to push the button; for a variety of reasons that isn’t generally possible today, but it’s still that player’s spins by design.
For mega group pulls, a bet amount is picked to ensure it’s significantly exciting for the larger amount and number of people involved, without it being too long of a video. It also makes it easier for us to verify we played through all the money once by simply counting the number of spins we did.
While it would certainly be a reasonable consideration to cash out ahead, if we cashed out before your turn and you signed up for a group pull to have that moment with Brian on camera, you’ve now taken that away from those people before they got their turn. And who’s to say another bonus couldn’t come around – it’s certainly happened before.
Ultimately the idea is to stick to what everyone agreed to at the start, win or lose, to ensure everyone has the full experience. Whether it’s a quick win upfront or an exciting comeback, every group pull has its ups and downs, and that’s why we don’t immediately cash out when a big win happens.
