I was participating in a casual Swiss tournament two weaks ago :
lichess.org/swiss/niCUTcnMWhich has prizes but still I didn't get it. I already informed the organizer and he said to wait until the next day but already two weeks over and I reported to moderator but still annoyed with this type of tournaments?! Any permanent solution!!?
I don't think there's a good solution.
Your only address to get your prize from seems the organizer. Maybe ask in their forum and/or chat.
That being said, the prize structure including book pdfs is against the rules:
lichess.org/how-to-cheat?key=event-tips@nadjarostowa I also asked in their group chat but didn't get any reply, so according to
lichess.org/how-to-cheat?key=event-tips , is it not possible to get my acheived prize?! If he violated rules, why will we suffer?
you took a risk by attending such an tournament where no one can supervise that organizer is good for their word. I really do not see how anyone could help you apart the organizer.
I think lichess should not permit this type tournaments where organizer himself is a participant and acheived a position with tricks.
yes this may be true that you arent are the sole achiever but try contacting the other achieving players
Glad if it helps
I think they really care about the prizes, still don't know properly

bruh that team has 76 players use your common sense nobody would create such a event with prizes despite having so low members, also the players are so low, ofc the person who organized found it no use to give prizes, they didn't really gain members by doing this stunt (sorry if I was rude my freind)

I don't think that "of course" is a reasonable attribute for fraud. If you offer prizes, you have to provide them. Period.
(And those prizes were basically pennies...)
You want to know? Anonymous Chess Team. Had 2300+ members, I myself was a leader. My "comrade" (since he was from armenia and that's close to russia, ig), he used to host tournaments and offered money prizes and pdfs and free chessbases. I didn't know about his scams, and because of it the team lost its leaders, but didn't get closed...at least that's others' theories...
Conclusion: Participate in these tournaments at YOUR OWN RISK. Just kidding, you won't lose anything, but, its not gonna be necessary that you earn the prizes. You might be scammed, and it might be a waste of your time.
