I have gotten a hold of something that suggests 5 more Million Gtds are on the horizon, including... ready for this? Every single Sunday in October.

Comments?

“We’re happy that online poker players are interested in our tournaments, but the recent chatter in the online poker forums is not official policy yet. It is interesting however, how difficult it is to keep this kind of big news under wraps,” said Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. “All that being said, the $5 Million GTD promo is something that we will announce later this weekend if our upcoming Million Dollar Sunday is a success.”

Interesting, where is that quote from Max?

I found the idea of a $540 Million every single week for a month somewhat... aggressive.

How about just implementing better software changes......actually just make some changes suggested in the software improvement thread. How much would that cost them?

Well, they gotta get traffic somehow...why not pay out even more overlay per month thqn they already do so they can keep players on the site (briefly) to play the other 5 good daily mtts?

Just appeared in the lobby, next mil gtd is September 13, then 4 straight ones in October (for a total of 5m gtd in about 7 weeks). Is their CEO insane? How can this be real when the one they promote heavily every three months may still overlay a decent amount today?

I guess they feel like the huge amount of overlay might draw in players, although that hasn't really been true for any of the previous attempts.

They'd be better off just giving away whatever amount they're willing to overlay as an instant deposit bonus or something.

Traffic should be a little better for those weeks. One is the first NFL Sunday. The others are during the peak of football betting.

I'm surprised we didn't hit the gtd yesterday. I doubt they'll do that high since we only hit 970k. I'm sure from rake and satty rakes they didn't take a loss.

I dunno, I think almost every satty this past week overplayed pretty big esp all the ODs. They prob broke even at best overall on the 1mil and its sattys. Although obv im sure they did pretty well overall with the increased traffic the past week or so on the network esp yesterday.

what WPN doing is great. since black Friday, no site tried to aggressively take hold of U.S market. its good opportunity to do so prior to stars coming back in future. WPN might looks insane with all this 1milly GTD but its well invested. where as merge and bovy, they had chance but too comfortable with their profit margins. off-topic, I applaud Winning_TD for his work on here. I wish WPN bestest.

It will force pretty much any serious row player to come over and play every weekend for a month. Hopefully they can relay that into consistent traffic in the weeks that follow.
