Surprised there isn't a thread on this yet, it happened on Friday. Omaha Bad Beat not paid out at The Lodge because of flop only requirement.

So to me the only way this ruling makes sense is if the interpretation of the rules is such that the same 5 cards must play on the flop and river. The river changed one of the hands, invalidating the flop requirement.
Now I have never heard of a flop requirement before regarding a BBJ, so please fill me in if anyone of you have hear did this before.
The restriction obviously is to make it difficult to hit so it's a multi-year build of this jackpot, in which case the rule is working as designed.
Though I do question if the complexity, ambiguity, and resulting bad press has undermined the benefits of a BBJ promotion here.
