You want a portion of the prize bonus taken out as an entry fee on a freeroll tournament? Why would you do that? Just give a smaller bonus to begin with.

The purpose of the prize bonus is to increase the prize pool beyond what the players contribute with the normal buy-in.

No, you are guaranteeing that the prize pool will be at least 500K. Entry fees are not part of the prize pool, by definition.

What you are doing doesn't make any sense to begin with. Freerolls do not have entry fees and bonuses go directly into the prize pool.

my accounting system works with :
Total Money in Bank, Total Chips in System, Daily Total Income (Poker Rake + Entry Fee)

allways if total chips in system Incremented means Total Money in Bank Incremented

With Guaranteed Tourney (When Total Prize < Guaranteed Prize) that cause total chips in system Incremented but Total Money in Bank not Incremented .

if Guaranteed Prize Or PrizeBonus applied on Entry Fee (Decremented if needed for guaranteed and Decremented for Bonus) my accounting system not killed.

So you want the prize bonus funded *FROM* the entry fee account. In your first message, it sounded like you wanted the exact opposite where a portion of the prize bonus would be taken out and added to the entry fee account. I specifically asked you that and you replied "Yes". Anyway, the way to automate that would be to use "Tournament finish" callback event and use API calls to see what the prizepool was and adjust the entry fee account accordingly.
