got 50$ wth the depost bonus. i am the 1%

Congrats. I got $0.50 spin n go ticket

Cross posting from another thread:

Also, Matthew will MicroMillions be back this March?

Although you were a dick in the way you said it, I kinda agree with this. If the promotion payed out a flat $10/$20 prize it would probably get a lot more support than a 98% to pay $1 or $2.50, even with the removal of the high end prizes like $10k.

Could add a prize for anyone that completes all the cash challenges at the end of each month. Or complete 25 in a calendar month ect. ( not a shoot-out ticket )

I remember EverestPoker having free SNGs running all the time that would pay out very little money, but still made me and lots of friends playing them and later deposit our own money.

Got dealt every pocket pair except 77

Stars:

Yea but the partypoker $25 is a one-off prize. The total EV of the stars promo across the month is $80 (assuming you complete each quest). Plus there's also 3 mega bonuses, worth a total of over $20 EV.

hmpf cant take part @ Megabonus promo, because i`ve sent money from ps to fulltilt before Ive seen the promo.. which counts as a cashout which is pretty nonesense imo..

I would very appreciate, if this will be changed in the future, because its annoying..

I don't deposit so any deposit bonuses are useless to me.

I have however hit three $2.50 rewards in a row, so things are starting to look a little brighter

Will, if so when will there be satellite's running for tcoop event 38 ?

Also Can we get some regular NLH Ante Up games. Currently there are only two a day one with a $2.20 buy in $350 gntd. and one that is a $55 buy in $2K Gntd. There use to be Regular $5.50 games in the lobby. Is it possible to get these back ? If not how about adding Ante Up Sit N Go's ?

Done, Thanks.

10x 0.50c spin and go tickets for my first deposit! I'll get the 10k on the third one so it's all good!

why you dont deposit ?

you can deposit and cashout 2 days later without even playing.

A combination of reasons which I sort of make up as I go. The biggest one is a mix of difficulty and laziness. I'm from Canada. My bank does not allow transfers for online "gambling", so VISA is not an option. I am very hesitant to use any method that requires a direct link to my bank account, and I'm simply too lazy to use an online wallet (I also don't fully trust them, purely from a security standpoint).

I've also never needed to. I was lucky enough to get my bankroll started through freerolls. I'm fairly conservative with my money, so I figure that if I never deposit I never have to worry about losing my own money. And as soon as I deposit once, it will probably lead to me playing over my head, losing, then depositing more and more, which isn't a road I want to go down.

I don't really know why I'm sharing this with strangers on the internet, but there you go

EDIT: I did get my 4th straight $2.50 reward today, so it's been a good week!

I've run terribly in them so far, 6 $1s and 3 $2.50s. Just variance i guess

Anuj, I know you won't like this reply as I can tell from many posts by you that you are a big fan of MicroMillions. We will not be running MicroMillions as frequently as we have in the past. We don't have a firm decision on this yet but it won't run on regularly scheduled dates like we have done so in the past. We will be running it again at some point. I would say most likely in the Summer, possibly earlier but no plans on that at the moment.

I'm a fan of it. One reason we ran 7-2 day was to gage interest. I think we could have fun with a 7-2 week. It's on a long list of ideas so we will see.

Regarding Cash game Quests. I made a previous post in a different forum which is incorrect. Cash Game Quests are planned to run through January and I had said they would be running indefinitely. I quickly responded to the post and simply mixed up in my head that day the Cash Game Quests and PokerStars Giveaway promotion. The PokerStars Giveaway promotion is planned indefinitely. The Cash Game Quests have a budget of $1M+ for the month. I know many players like them and early results have been encouraging, so we'll be considering offering them again at some point, but right now they will be completing on January 31st.

My apologies for the misinformation.

Matthew

I'm gonna assume MicroMillions lost its charms last couple of editions as we saw drop in no. of players and prizepool compared to previous editions which is understandable because it runs 3 times a year and so obviously it becomes less special. The reason I liked MicroMillions is because it covered almost all poker variants and gave us micro players a chance to compete for a bigger prizepool.

Also it would be great to see a series not only for Microstakes but also for Low/mid stake players. Maybe a new brand series with new dynamic structures(8-10-12-15 min structures pls).

I'd rather prefer every day different challenge than a 7-2 week.

@ Matthew, what are your thoughts on PokerStars Giveaway promotion?

Edit: Another question - Are you also in charge of regional promotions?

To be honest, I haven't had time yet to look at results of our new promotions - VIP has been my priority. I'll reserve my opinion until I've had a chance to look at it more. If that many players are sitting out we need to find a solution as it is a poor experience for players.

I'm rarely involved in regional promotions. There have been a few exceptions like Daniel's VIP Club Live party which was a joint effort between regional marketing and VIP Club. But for the most part, regional marketing is outside of my responsibility which is more focused on global promotions.

Matthew

You don't need to link your bank account to open an ewallet. Some can be funded using a credit card / pre-paid card. Moving funds around gives you an added advantage.

PokerStars First Deposit bonus. Other promos like the instant bonuses they are currently running for a weekly deposit. You can deposit with money you cashed out a week or two prior that instead of leaving in your poker account, you have sitting in your ewallet.

Plus eventually you are going to want to cashout. Most sites require a deposit first.

Good luck at the tables !

Dear Matthew, thank you for reading and replying to my write-up in the VIP Club thread; I'd also like to get some clarification about the future real money game type(s) if you don't mind.

In the Amaya earnings presentation (which was shortly after your 2+2 podcast interview but before the Jackpot Poker app went live), CEO David Baazov said,

Then, already after Jackpot Poker came out, you stated,

At first, I thought that the first product mentioned by Mr Baazov was exactly Jackpot Poker. But as for the other product, in my impression, skilled video gaming is quite the opposite of social interaction (the entourage is usually futuristic or gothic, and players like to hide behind idealised avatars that have little to do with who they are in reality), unless Mr Baazov meant games of the Candy Crush type (mobile skill games with simplistic interfaces, rather than strategic HD video games like Warcraft or card games with similar surrealistic themes like Hearthstone).

This has made me think that we'll be getting two new real money poker variants - one for video gamers and one for mobile users... so are there going to be two new real-money poker products (a social app and a desktop video game) or just one (that is somehow both social and targeted at gamers)?

I'm aware these options are available, but for the reasons above, I've never been interested in maintaining one.

I have cashed out a couple of times, always using paper checks. I always just viewed it as bonus spending money while I was in school (it really wasn't much money as a total, hardly enough to buy textbooks for a single semester). Unfortunately, PS changed their minimum withdrawal limit on checks to $1000, and I don't think my BR knows what a 4-digit number looks like.

Thank you sir, and same to you!

Jackpot Poker has been there since 2014 and not very recently afaik

I gathered all these quotes from Amaya Report, pokerstarsblog, Pokerstars rep

Looks like they are targeting video gamers

I meant Amaya's Jackpot Poker app that I saw mentioned at poker news sites in early December 2015, not Winning Poker Network variable prize pool SnGs that came out in April 2015.
