Sounds good. Thx.

Christmas comes early this year with Hex

ok, thx man

Patric what you wrote about Hexopro in terms of growth is nearly line for line what Pstars said when Spin n Go's were implemented. Your last statement is very true though that Unibet will gain from this but it will in large part come off the backs of your current user base except for those that transition to Hexopro.

anyone thinking of playing them please remind: its a super turbo with nearly 7% rake

This. And this comment from ubs communityrep is pretty funny :

Is it possible to win money in long run when 80% of the games have 1 and 2 minutes blinds and 6.853% rake?

it defintively is possible in the long run, there are many factors coming into play, if you get lucky to get a high multiplier it obviously helps but if not it's still possible with the right strategy and long-term thinking.

So they are allmost admitting that the format is most of the time unbeatable but if you play massive hours and think positive you might get lucky and win. Don't know how many of the recs bothers to read the terms and instead just play 10 of those and hit 1,5x 8/10 and goes back to stars.

Serious question to Unibet:
Why should
a, fun player
b, reg
play hexpro on your site and not spins on stars? What is your advantage?

Please give us an option to disable the horrible card animation, Ill suck your dick, just get rid of it

To the hexaraketrap it seems they only pay 2nd and 3rd when the multipier is 25x. What's the line at stars?

I've stumbled upon discussion from last year on Unibet forums about allowing to download anonymous HandHistories to track your play/results.

Has this been implemented?

Or what's the status of that?

For one it is lower variande. Biggest prize is € 1000 compared to stars
$ 10 000. With $ 9000 to distribute and about the same rake they can offer more wins that isn't the top prize.

So why would fun player play x1000, when they can win x10000 on stars?

Lower variance with 1 and 2 minutes blinds ? interesting.

For the start at least, there won't be huge amounts of staked "pro" players playing them, like they do on Stars. (There are various groups that stake hundreds of players to play $1 spins on Stars, and that give them pre-flop charts to follow like they are robots. Staking groups avoid sites that don't allow HUDs or have results tracked by Sharkscope or even HEM.)
In short, the games on Unibet should be a fair bit softer than the rival offerings, so the casual players have more of a chance of winning.

I guess getting a x10 on Unibet = 4,6% prob, vs Stars 0,5% prob.

Ho-ho-ho

We are working on a fix that allows to disable animations, can't say a concrete day yet when it will be out, we are trying to get it ready as soon as possible. Some of the other issues will be fixed with it as well (eg replayer issue).

We don't allow downloading hand histories and are not planning on allowing it anytime soon. You can view your last 500 hands/30 days in the client.

We want to make it as fair as possible to everyone and protect our recreational players. You have the possibility to request your results from CS at any time.

Some good reasons have already been mentioned by the others.
One that I would like to add, is our loyalty system which is more than competitive.

I talked to quite a few customers in Dublin, some of them play Headsup SNGs exclusively. The overall vibe that I got was positive and very understanding. Most players, especially streamers seem to be excited for it as it is an exciting format.

I was one of the HU regs, I spoke with Patric with regards to this because I have concerns that recreational players will be drawn to spins over HU especially when tilted. The poker dream is to win big and the HU traffic on Stars got decimated when spins were introduced. I wouldn't say I'm positive about it but I understand why Unibet as a poker site would take that route. It'll be interesting to see what happens but if it's 7% rake that's ridiculous.

Here's the issue and shoot me for reminding Unibet but I'm sure they've thought of this too.

How can Unibet offer rake at 5% for 5 man SNG's that last around 30 minutes yet offer 7% rake on 3 man Hexapro's that last 1-4 minutes? The answer is they can't and they won't.

Rake will go up in both HU and 5-man Sit and Go's... and guess what it will be chalked off as "industry standard yada yada".

I have supported this company over the past 3 years because they have had the courage to go against the "industry standard". And they were doing well because of it. Since Andrew West moved on the poker product as a whole has remained stagnant. Some good moves and some poor ones. But this site could have done a lot better in my honest opinion. It seems the owners agree as the senior positions for poker within Unibet have changed far too frequently in the past few years.

+1

I'm just wondering who will play that in the future after the new game hype is gone? Recs wont play because you can't win poop most of the time. Regs wont play it because the rake is absurd.

Really? It's the most boring format to stream. I haven't ever watched paint dry but I believe even that is more entertaining.

THIS x 1000

It's really, really annoying. It's awful to read the lobby, way to blurry. And unlike quoted poster, mine doesn't get sharp when I increase the size a bit. Even at max size , it's still not as sharp as I would like to. Please fix this asap, I don't know what happened there after the update but it's pretty much unplayable.

yes, the lobby is now somehow blurry and hard to read, please fix.

As for the Hexapro, I think there will always be recs with just a few minutes to spare and this will suit them very well. Perhaps that's even the thing that some people miss in order to switch to Unibet. And there is probably no rec who plays that game exclusively, so other games shouldn't suffer.

Just been reading the details with regards to Hexapro and just wow. 7% rake across all stakes seems absurd. On Stars it reduces to what, 5%? Over 56% of the time you're going to have to beat 2 players to win 1.5x your BI.

Also, 1 min blinds for 1.5x, 2 min blinds for 3x. It's almost like charging 7% on a flip. I have to say I'm extremely disappointed in Unibet for not just taking this route but the greed in which they're doing it. As someone that plays solely on Unibet full time, I will definitely consider other options once these are implemented.

if you don't offer any way of keeping track of the games atleast have the common sense to not implement spin & go's... this is the most fishy thing you could ever do. Who decided to copy this lottery variant off poker from stars in almost 2019 anyway?
You did not even bother trying to hide the chances to win big, it's advertised in the lobby for everyone to see as if you take great pride in offering this?!
what will happen is recreationals having 1/1000 chance whenever they play such a thing to have a GOOD day. this means unhappy depositors 999/1000 games.
I said it before and i say it again and i know you don't care but quit focusing on sng & toernaments you make a select few regulars happy that bothers to play on unibet these games when they are better off getting more volume in on other sites. delete your toernaments, delete your sng's get your cashgame traffic up instead with small Qol changes like 3 simple hotkeys to fold check/call & raise and some option to put in your raise and 3bet size in automatically preflop. then offer us some live variants on cash like straddle, deepstacked, ante,... i am afraid you don't have a good poker product without the input off the community. if you would have polled this it simply would be there 3rd december. you lowered cashgame traffic luring all the noobs to SNG with promotions and adding a ton off toernaments and when i look in the lobby who is still generating you rake? not the SNG player or the toerney players. keep ignoring the cashgame players. clap clap clap
