Those machines should indeed be fast enough. I'll see if I can get any suggestions from support. It's weird that it happens on two different machines though, do they have anything in common?

Not bad for the start of the summer - normally we are losing ground at this time of year. And not bad for a month with one less day than May.

The €1 unibet open tickects cant be used it seems. When I try to register to the suggested tour I get the message "no tickets availible".

Screename is MA3006

Aha thanks. Apparently this is a 1.6 bug. You should be able to use them in 1.5, which you can get here:

Mac: http://mcdnf.relaxg.com/sw/clients/m...oker_1.5.0.dmg

Do you still want me to convert them?

Nothing in common.
Browser works fine and doesn't use more than 50%

Hi Andrew thank you very much for converting the ticket for me, but I'm pretty sure I only got 9 not 10 could you check for me please (unless the 10th one is rake?).

In terms of the new challenges, my first one is 50 sets. It took me forever last time to get 40. Is this correct? This must be more than the 8.2k average that you quote. If you were a newbie I'm sure 50 sets would blow your mind and I'm not sure how many points you would get.

I'm a little confused with the rewards. Up to 30k there are a total of 28 1e tickets, I thought there were going to be more play through bonuses and cash, as this isn't the case.

Great job as always, Adrian

Hmm, looks OK to me. I tried crediting my test account 10 tickets and it works, and displays properly in the client too. Could you take a screenshot of yours please?



The major steps AVERAGE 8.2k hands. Some of them are more, some are less. Flop a set 50 times should take approximately 10,150 hands. The highest is "See a flop that contains at least two 7s" x50 at 11,500 hands, and the lowest is "Make a full house by the river" x25 at 4,625 hands.

Q3 Challenges start awarding playthrough bonuses at 200k points but in Q2 it started at 500k. It also awards cash more frequently, but it does still award tickets. I still want people to try different game types.

from 17/3-2014 in the other thread:

(We need more MTT`S !)

20.00 scandinavian time : 5€ rebuy 1500€ GTD (2000 chips, 12 minute blinds+3k add-on(or about 15bb) (FULL-RING)

20.30 scandinavian time : 3€ rebuy 1000 GTD (1500 chips, 5 minute blinds+2k add-on(or about 10bb)

21.00 scandinavian time : 10€ freeze 750€ GTD (2000 chips, 12 minute blinds)

i only seem to be getting 275 points projection for the minor challenge instead of 475 on the fast holdem .5/.10 tables

challenge - re-raise on the button 5 times.
only done it twice so far but each time it just says 275 ?

Minor points have changed a lot because now the steps take ~500 hands instead of ~1,000 hands.

There have been quite a few changes to points at major steps too.

- We have more accurate rake data, particularly at higher stake games which have run more often with full tables
- The way people play also changes the amount we get in rake per game per x hands
- I changed the payouts quite a bit
- Minor steps take about half as many hands, major steps take about 20% fewer hands
- We cut rake at NL4 and PL4 from 2% to 1% on May 1st but didn't change Challenges points (due to the 1c minimum, this is an effective drop of about 40% in rake)

Here're the changes for major challenges:



It looks like NLHE is now getting smaller rewards, but that isn't really the case due to the decreased number of hands required. The total amount we award this quarter is still going to be pretty much what we awarded last quarter (I can only be vague because I don't know for sure what we'll pay out this quarter, it depends how much people play).

The points shown are a projection of how many you'd earn at your current mix of stakes. The projection won't change as you complete the challenge unless you finish some steps at different stakes.

Does UNibet have a Sunday mtt Major?
If so, what are the details?
How many runners etc?

Being from UK, interested in anything that allows me to work the next day! ;-)

Thanks, I'll pass your suggestions on as someone else from the poker team is going to have a look through the MTT schedule with fresh eyes later this week.

I talked to the developers and the first thing they recommend is to uninstall the client and then install another one fresh. You can get a copy of 1.5 at:

PC: http://mcdnf.relaxg.com/sw/clients/w...oker_1.5.0.exe
Mac: http://mcdnf.relaxg.com/sw/clients/m...oker_1.5.0.dmg

We didn't really want to try to compete with other sites on a big Sunday guarantee kind of tournament, because we aren't going to win (yet).

There's a €10 multibuy on Sunday at 18:00 called the Sunday Sundown (10x multibuys allowed, 3k guaranteed), with 500 chips per multibuy and 9 minute blinds.

But the biggest tournament of the week is a €100 freezeout on Saturday at 18:00 called the Saturday Stack. It's 10k guaranteed and 5k chips with 9 minute blinds. We have a pretty good structure - it's a bit better than the one used in PS' Sunday Million. It's overlaying at the moment:

7th Jun - 2.7k overlay
14th Jun - 3.1k overlay
21st Jun - 1.8k overlay
28th Jun - 2.9k overlay

There're more satellites running to it now than before as part of the new tourney schedule, so I think it'll stop overlaying in the relatively near future.

Thanks it works better on my Windows but on my Mac it's the same.

the major challenge projection is showing 4500 but the minor challenge is only showing 275. ive only been playing .5/.10 fast holdem tables this morning.
is that right ?

So last Q, i had around ~10% or less Rake back, now with the new twiks i would have around 7%, that is a bit harsh.
I know you said that it will pay better to the bottom and top of the players pool, but for a grinder that rakes around 600-1k at 10 NL it`s a bit disappointing to get only 7% rb after grinding 50k+ hands/month. You said that you will try to find a way to adjust that but with the new scheme, it`s even lower.
One way to fix this is to give (150-200EU for example) bonus if you play 50k hands in a month at 10 NL that can be released like the new account bonus with 20% cash back, this way you can boost grinders cash back to 27-32%
Have a nice day

Half way there I guess. The developers will talk to QA but likely I won't hear back until tomorrow (QA are busy testing a 1.6 fix)

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=235

The projection is right. Minor challenges take about half the number of hands that they used to.

Major challenges take about 8200 hands, minor take about 515. It's no longer a 10:1 ratio.

Hi Andrew, thank you and apologies, there are 10, I'm not going to make it as a poker player if I can't count to 10! In my defence it not the easiest to count across (that's the only excuse I've got!).

Is there any way you can tell me how many hands I played from april 1st-june 3oth (just a total) as I was curious.

In terms of the challenges it'll always take me longer. I play very tight, I believe hand selection to be the most important part of my game and the most common error for new players who are "looking for action" (That's why I'm looking for table priority and preferred seating, as a fold a lot, I get my fix by multi-tabling which is difficult at the moment as I would play more if I could). I shouldn't have too much variance from what you quote for the sets but the two 7's on the flop could be a lot more.
At the moment the challenges are random. Have you considered running major challenges in sequence? So you could start with the ones that hit at the lower end and then move up to the ones that are the higher end of the odds? This will have very little impact on the top end as they will complete all of them, but it could affect the bottom end quite a bit. I could be "unlucky" and randomly get 2 challenges that take over 20k to complete verses some one else at the table where it takes much less. On average I realise that it will average out, but we could all follow the same path for major (and or minor) and this would eliminate an area of what could be quite considerable variance especially if you are only playing a few thousand hands. Is this worth looking at for Q3?
Having just seen the mission for this month it's pretty easy to see where your focus is!
Hopefully the software will keep improving, if so there should be a very bright future for Unibet. Off to work now, as the kids say.....laters Adrian

If you can convert them to s&g tickets I'll be greatfull, tnx

Hi Andrew,
Have a question about July mission. Are only 5-seat SNGs included in the mission?
I can't find that info on the promo page. It doesn't say if 2-player SNGs count or not.

Sure, done.

Any SNG counts towards completing the mission, all prizes are 5-max tickets.

You played 37,210 cash game hands, 30 SNG and 53 MTT that quarter.

This is more feature than bug - we wanted to reward action players more because we think that's good for the games. I agree with your general philosophy as a player, but we have to deal with the overall ecology rather than just the good players.

This is another feature rather than bug - we think that a lot of people enjoy the variance. Mostly when they run good of course. I'm happy to be argued out of either of these positions though.

My main aim is to have every type of game running every day, around the clock. We awarded a lot of cash game tickets last month, we redesigned the tourney schedule, we had lower rake at HU SNG, but we hadn't done much with 5 max SNG.

When I try to run the client I only get a black screen, it was working fine yesterday. Any idea what it is ? I am currently usingthe 1.5 version you have linked earlier.

edit : fixed it.

So last Q, i had around ~10% or less Rake back, now with the new twiks i would have around 7%, that is a bit harsh.

You won't. It takes fewer hands to complete each challenge, so you will end up getting pretty much the same as you used to.

I should also point out that our rake at NL10 is about half of what it is at most sites, and about a quarter at NL4. So even if you only get 7%, it's equivalent to getting 57% at NL10 and 82% rakeback at NL4.

Also, things like the monthly missions or Double Trouble are disproportionately valuable for NL4 and NL10 players, plus all the other promos like the football slot etc.
