No, there's no casino 'client'. Free poker tickets and special incentives to a huge database of casino customers though, sure.

I'd be interested to take a poll of players who wanted streams of players going both ways shut down - no poker players going to casino and no casino players going to poker. Before you answer, consider the size of Unibet Casino compared to Unibet Poker (hint: it's more than 10 times the size).

Hey David!

Do you know when the EO scheulde will be out?

Also the team which organises UO and Unibet DSO know about each other?
I live in Hungary so Bratislava and also Vienna is really close. I wanted to play both UDSO stops there.
But Bratislava was at the same time as UO London, and now Vienna is really close to EO Vegas (which is a longer trip for me, combined with some holiday from Sept 21)

Would be nice to play those events, which are in easy drive dictances.
And a suggestion: Vienna could be an awesome place for UO as well.

ps.: I think if you would add some seat only sats to UO, that could bring some new players in. Ofc combined with some local advertising.

Report, thanks. We're looking at a solution to stop this happening so often in the longer term.

I'm not sure when the schedule is out (it will be the Wynn Fall Classic) but will ask.

DSO and UO are separate entities - UO is organised in-house and DSO is a series that we sponsor. As such it's meant that events have sometimes been scheduled over the same weekend but we're starting to work closer together so next year we would aim to avoid this.

We ran seat-only qualifiers for Bucharest last year as we knew there was a lot of interest for them and there would be no issue with traffic. With other stops it's not so easy but certainly it's something we'll aim to keep in mind with each stop.

I'm for consenting adults choosing to do with their money as they wish. It's why I am also for having a visible box on an SnG table allowing both players to consciously decide to click it to rematch against each other after that game is done.

I agree that Andrew had kind intentions when he rolled out blind seating in cash games - he did lower the rake to offset the decrease of winning players' edges. However, other operators who're looking at you as a role model aren't going to be that lenient. If Seat Me or a blind SNG lobby without rematches goes live at Stars without a rake decrease, Andrew will get part of the blame, as the one who popularised this potentially dangerous (for the poker grind as a profession) idea. And you obviously won't be able to feed all the former Stars regs - you don't have enough depositors for this yet - but some of those regs will surely try entering your games and will make them tougher.

Good luck to you with your future innovations and to those few regs who're loyal to your site despite all your attempts to make their 'work' harder. Please innovate responsibly.

Thanks.

As mentioned above, it will be discussed here - the competition argument is valid and something I agree with. As someone else suggested above though, we won't be introducing an 'add friend' feature in the near future. If it were to come in the future, an 'add friend' feature would only allow players social interaction, it certainly wouldn't let players hunt for weaker players in the lobby. Not your request I know but related to this topic.

The cash promo leaderboard link is completely unnecessary on MTT and SNG tables. It's also really tilting that it's a highlighted graph icon and looks like it would be your own personal stats.

Why is it on it's own row? It could have gone in the top row or on the left under the hand number.

I think there are solutions that can be beneficial to everyone - my post earlier where I spoke about sites not being overly concerned with regs doesn't mean that we're also aiming to disregard them. The measures we've taken aren't designed to punish regs, they're designed to get more new players into the game. A solid foundation (in terms of the ecology) needs to be created and maintained though so that the regs don't become detrimental to what the site is trying to achieve. It's a difficult task but an enjoyable challenge and one we should take on fully if we consider ourselves an honest and responsible poker operator. I genuinely wish every site would do the same.

I disagree with your second point though. We're not aiming to stay at the size we're currently at now. If we introduce new features it's part of a plan to grow significantly as a poker site over the next few years, not to provide a test bed for bigger operators. These ideas aren't dangerous for the game, unscrupulous operators are the danger you speak of but they will ultimately fail if good alternatives are put forward and promoted well enough. If you haven't already stopped playing with operators like that then I'd be interested to know why that is. I suspect one of the answers might be that you feel there aren't good alternatives. Those ideas implemented in the right way are also the only way that there will be a poker grind to speak of in the future.

A flood of regs from Stars right now would be awful for us and actively send backwards everything we have fought to build so far - fortunately another site is already trying to take care of that for us. Once we've finished building our foundations and the games can take it, then we'll be in a position to aim for more of those players.

You also don't need to remove yourself from this thread, it's just not fair to anyone else reading if it centers around you and I arguing philosophical poker points because the list can be a long one. I don't fully agree with your stance so I'm quite happy to argue the point with you, just not every day.

There will be an MTT leaderboard promo in August which will also be displayed there so it won't be completely irrelevant for non-cash games. The current plan is to only show relevant leaderboards in future but that was a bigger job and as we have two leaderboard promos in August we wanted to get this released.

Once you have clicked on it and understood what it is, does that not remove the need to click on it again if you know it isn't for personal stats and there is no SNG leaderboard? I agree that the icon is not ideal though, we'll change that in future. I also can't answer why it's on it's own row - I'm sure there will be a good reason but from a UX-perspective perhaps that should be changed. Thanks for the feedback.

I mean sorry, but if someone has to rebuy manually that's only to punish the Regs and nothing else. We both know this;.)

I asked the support if I could transfer my package to a friend, they said that's not allowed, just out of interest, why it's not allowed? Forgot to ask the support and don't really get what would be the issue with it .

We don't both know this

Auto top-up wasn't allowed as it's one way that a weaker player (who isn't used to auto top-up) can be quickly identified by a more experienced player. It's enough of an annoyance to most players though that it's actually going to be changed as we don't believe it is enough of a game-changer as it is now.

We don't want players to grind multiple packages or to earn packages on behalf of others, both making the fields tougher than they should otherwise be. This rule isn't in place for the UK Tour as it's more of a recreational tour by nature, but that's something that we might have to address in the near future.

Yay to another MTT league

I think it's just it being highlighted in yellow draws the eye to it on a dark background and looks like you should click it because there is something new behind it.

I've just googled 'leaderboard icon' and it's easier to see what they were going for but to me anyway it looks more like a bar graph than a podium which is why I assumed on first glance it was going to be stats related.

Be careful if your playing here from Canada. You will be given a timeline for cash outs 1-3 days and when its not met you will be told you simply have to wait (day 10 and counting) no record from my bank of anything ever being sent, and the site seems to be having trouble providing proof that they even sent it.

- I see no issue with Casino Buttons at the tables, especially seeing Unibet has a great system of self-prevention (eg. possibility of excluding for specific products only, not for the total offering).

- +1 to rematch-buttons in HUSNGs, I see no reason why there is none, a decent % of Recs doesn't want to rematch anyways (not really played THAT many HUSNG in my life though) from my expirience, but I'm sure some would appreciate an option to rematch

- any SNG Promos planned? I believe the last one has been quite a while ago (unless I missed something)

Catching up on the rest of the posts now. Yesterday's release seemed to have caused no big issues, if you do have any issues then the best fix seems to be to do a complete re-install of the client and not just update.

Yep, I think they were going for a podium icon but at first glance I mistook it for a bar chart too. This feature will be a work in progress anyway so there will definitely be improvements over the next few releases.

I don't see any philosophical argument against it so it's fine for me, would just be a matter of getting it on the priority list for development.

MTT promo will be Bounty Badlands, a repeat of the promo from April. The page hasn't been fully updated yet but prizes and earning points will be same as here: https://www.unibet.com/promotions/po...-badlands-2017

High Stakes Race will continue through August.

The page for the Mission isn't up yet but the prizes will be:

Step 1: 50 bonus points
Step 2: 50 bonus points
Step 3: €1,000 GTD freeroll ticket
Step 4: 200 bonus points
Step 5: €3,000 GTD freeroll ticket

We're also planning a weekly Twitch raffle promo to give away some Vegas packages but I'll wait for clarification on that before sharing more details.

We definitely need some more SNG promos and we need to have a bit more balance between all gametypes in future. We won't be able to squeeze anything for Sept but we're spending a few days with Relax next week so will discuss this then.

With auto buy-in i mean a feature similar to the auto top-up where you set your buy-in amount under settings in the lobby, ie. 100bbs, and the client automatically seats you at the table with your chosen big blinds so that there is no need to deal with the buy-in popup every time you open a cash table.
