Hi Andrew, just watched some of day 1 of the UNIBET cash game, Neil Channing wearing Sky Poker gear, is that legal? (mocking tone) Very egalitarian of you, giving him a platform to advertise a rival site. The commentators were good and the 72 gold bars spiced up the game a bit. Adrian

Sadly not... I hope soon. Obviously Unibet are pretty big, so having the whole site down for so long is a big deal.

Personally, I don't mind much. I'd be annoyed if he said "play at skypoker dot com! here's a cash game personalised deal!", but that's about it.

How can a big site like Unibet rely on only one internetprovider?

The rest of the site should slowly come online in the next 20m if nothing goes wrong.

Apparently our data centre had a power failure and their UPS didn't work properly...

Its things like this that makes you different from other poker sites. While Pokerstars comes off as arrogant you actually do something for the customers. Now you just need to work on the software.

Thats said, I hope you dont sell out as Stars did when/if you grow big.

Tomorrow should be a big freeroll day. I think it'll be too soon to hit hand 96m, but even so, should be quite a lot awarded.

Thanks, hopefully the rest of the milestones promo works out well. It'll make it much easier to sell internally, and get more company resources.

Why are some major challenges so hard to complete, Reach a flop of QJT in any order or suit, i'v seen over 2000 flops and still at 2/3, completed 18 minor challenges in that time.

QJT in any order or suit happens every 1,056 hands on average, so 3,168 to complete the Challenge. If you're tighter than the average, it'll take longer too. Challenges are meant to have some variance, sorry to hear you're getting the bad side of it at the moment.

The current plan is to have the stream up for 4pm GMT (5pm CET, 11am EST), but it depends to some degree on when the players are ready. Today's starting lineup is:

Viktor Blom
Micke Norinder
Tomas Brolin
Morten Langli
Frode Fagerli
Vincent Gabel
Nicolas Levi
Quentin Lecomte

Looks like it'll start in 35m. Right now it's highlights from yesterday's play.

1. Set the payouts for hands 96m, 97m and 98m to the same level as the 95 millionth hand. Our expectation will be approximately €27k higher (i.e. we'll award, on average, €27k more now).

2. We will also run a €10k freeroll and invite all the players who were online when we were nearing 95m the first time round. We'll run this at 20:00 CET tomorrow, Weds 26th.

3. We will also manually check the play of everyone who was dealt into the eventual 95 millionth hand. We will increase their payouts if they should have had a higher multiplier but didn't due to the earlier crash.

The freeroll is contingent on the Maltese internet working again. We have fixed the problem that caused the crash in hand 95m. We will mail all affected players once the site is back up.

The problems for hand 95.1m were down to Maltese internet, so this should be fine too once they have sorted it out on their end.

Sorry again for the problems. While it worked, it worked very well indeed. We were bigger than Party Poker or FTP, and we were ~3x the size of MicroGaming, the network we left earlier this year.
4. We will shortly credit the players in hand 95m and 95.1m about €2.7k extra. This is because they didn't have the opportunity to reach the maximum number of flops for the multiplier as the site was down. The new payout is the maximum that can be awarded at the stake.

Both hands were at PLO4, and one player was actually in both hands, although he didn't win either.

I'm not sure when 95.2m will be, but it should be this evening. We're on 95.16 right now.
