One critical flaw for recs is that your freerolls are far too often full. Either make them harder to gain entry (while still keeping it possible) or rise the player cap. Rec players "win" ticket to $12k freeroll and are unable to use it are surely pissed. Maybe adding additional freerolls to use those tickets would soothe their pain and cost very little to you in comparison.

Hey Guys,

Following your feedback we have implemented a few changes in our standard blind structure which sums up to two extra levels in the earlier stages. The changes also include antes from the first level.
In order to see if this structure indeed provides a better playing experience, we will test it in the following tournaments before implementing it to all of the rest:

Tornado
Monsoon
Early Monsoon
Crocodile
Swordfish
Early Swordfish
Turbo Swordfish
Early Turbo Swordfish

In other news, We will be running another edition of the Super XL between 17-25 in September.
Our highest ever guaranteed Main Event ($1.5M with re-entries) is already up in the client with satellites running daily.
We will post the full schedule here soon..

Regards

thx 4 the changes and the upcoming series.
Request for the 3rd time now....plz dont be that tight with your guarantees...especially the mini versions deserve more love. A 10$ freezout in a series with a 8k gtd is just nothing people want and will play! especially during SCOOP and WCCOP you can "risk" a bit more than the previous tiny guarantees in the smaller events!

Structures with more early levels look good, especially for mid stakes tournaments with 6, 10 and 12 minute levels. However, in the case of Friday Challenge it would prolong the tournament in average by 30 minutes. Therefore, it might finish at 6am-7am CET which is a bit too much. I think that in tournaments with 15 minute levels you should delete 700/1400 and 900/1800 levels in exchange for more early levels; 600/1200, 800/1600, 1000/2000, 1200/2400 etc. should be deep enough for 15 minute levels. Since small and micro limit players have complained about the length of tournaments and it would be better to skip 700/1400 and 900/1800 in them as well. For instance, Goldfish finishing at 5am cet might a bit too much...

Stop giving my opponents kings on the river please, happened to me twice tonight, came 51st in the monsoon when I should have made the final table and came 4th in the $5k Early Swordfish, both were bad beats by kings on the river, is it a river King curse you have given me. If this stops I will play your site solo no more pokerstars, thanks.

The doomswitch was accidentally turned on for your account, I have asked the relevant team to turn it off.

Better and easier to follow rewards program please

Far fewer pop ups and messages about Rebuying, moving tables, acheiving a "mission" etc
or at least an option to opt out of these messages

Auto buyin option for tournaments

bring back the old "crappy" rakeback program per opt-in as it was 5x better than the new one.

Hey guys,

Below is the schedule for the upcoming Super XL which will run between the 17th and the 25th of September.
This will be our 6th version of the Super XL Series. In each one of the previous series we have increased the guaranteed prizes substantially and this time the increase will be most substantial with over $1M in additional guarantees.
The biggest increase is for the Main event that will have re-entries this year which will allow us to raise the guarantee from $1M to $1.5M!
Winner of the $88 buy-in Crazy 8 Kickoff Event will also receive a $2,500 value package to a major Live Event we plan to hold in October in London.
We are looking forward to see you all in September!
