The page isn't up yet, so here's the summary from our internal wiki:
Quote:
Each day in March we will award a different set of prizes to random Cash Game tables, across all stake levels. In order to find out the prizes for that day, players must log in to the poker client and click on a special Prize Drop icon at the top of the lobby. This icon will expand to detail that day's prizes, as well as the games players must be seated at if they want to be in with a chance of winning. Once a table is selected randomly, all players seated at that table will win one of that day's prizes - winning the hand will make no difference to the promotion.
It'll pay out approx €40k over the course of the month.

My suggestions would be to remove multi-buyin tournaments and replace them with rebuy ones.1-2 buyin's for 500 chips in those tourneys is pretty much useless if you don't quadruple up after half an hour which is not poker tbh.Daily 25 needs larger pricepool,at least double and one more daily (10? with let's say 1500-2000 price pool) will go a long way.Also,introducing more day specific guaranteed tourneys would be great,but I guess that depends on your revenue and growth
Tournaments are the format most affected by losing the old MPN liquidity. That said, they've grown by 23% this month and are now much closer to the same growth rate as the rest of the site.
During the past year MTT aren't up a lot in gross rake, but overlays are hugely down - we lost more than 40k on tournaments in Mar 2014. We did this while growing total MTT traffic.
I agree that it'd be nice if the Daily 25 had a larger prizepool, but we've tried twice now to have larger guarantees in order to attract more players and it didn't work either time. The only way we can boost it is to wait.
That said, the reason we've had missions and promos that include that kind of tournament is exactly this reason - we'd like to have a couple of bigger tournaments every day. Let's see how they're doing a week or two into March.
As for multibuys - it's better EV for you if you buy in once and some opponents buy in multiple times. That's because your last chip is worth more than your first chip. I think people perceive it as unfair though, and obviously I'd be happy if we could replace some of them with rebuys.
When we release the lobby upgrade we'll definitely look at the schedule again. As it stands though, we're going to have our best (net) tourney month by a long way:
