Promo seems like it's vulnerable to a lot of angle shooting. Maybe that's what they deserve for not making it more widely available.

What you're saying is that it seems like a better value to just play one table like a super nit (TT+, all suited 3 gappers+). Me, personally, I'd certainly take any winnings from a bonus, but I wouldn't be playing the games for the bonus. I just think the bonus would create action filled games where I play, and it's certainly created games where there were very few before.

Also, this is how all the milestone hands went. There were regulars who would play the games for hours, and people would show up 5 minutes before the promo and then leave right after it was hit. They're like roaches.

In a perfect world it would be based on how many XP points a player earned in the hour prior to when the jackpot hand hit. But this would greatly add work on the software side of things and those resources should be spent on improving the overall product. Looking at the lobby it seems that the promo has helped increase volume for both cash and there has been some cross over to MTT's as well. Overall it's a good promo for both the site and players.

I counted 14 eligible tables earlier tonight, so I agree that it's doing something.

Like I said earlier was a great idea to bring micro stakes players back to site. Should have been done long time ago(I think if I recall there was a problem with Gaming approving Bad Beats Jackpots online).
It should be kept going for now on as it will definitely increase traffic.
That said it is still too little too late to save UP from its own demise, unless they bring in a "proven" Poker Platform not this crap they put out there and that means admitting failure and getting rid of CyberArts

FYI-100% WSOP will follow suit with their own Bad Beat Jackpot shortly
