David, like it has been noted a few times ITT, email support and to a lesser degree chat support (from my small sample size), can be inefficient at times. Anyhow, I just want to try to clear up my VPN question/travelling to the Unibet Open from Canada situation.

- As you suggested, I contacted email support 8 days ago mentioning that I would be (most likely) travelling to the following countries during my upcoming Europe trip : Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, Germany, Croatia, Hungary, Israel.

- I looked it up, and none of these countries are restricted to play from, but still better to let support know that my IP address would differ for a few months, right...

- I also asked if I could use a VPN (using an IP address from the country I would be in at that time) for security reasons to play poker or, if not, to at least access my account on Unibet.com in a more secure matter from public wifis. I am pretty sure that both should be fine, but I just don't my account to encounter any problems

- Support never got back to me, so I contacted chat support explaining my situation, but the guy (Patrik) did not seem to understand my situation, and simply responded "that logging in from a different country outside of Canada would get my account blocked" ; I felt that we were regressing in our discussion, so I let him know that I would be attending the Bucharast UO.

- He got back to me a couple of days ago via email telling me to contact the UO team for my answers

Anyhow, back to square 1. So do I just go by my normal business and use the VPN as intended? For the record, I have never used a VPN once for grinding (just purchased one, actually), but do use one for all my banking and now to access my Unibet.com account (when not at home). But I sure would prefer the usage of one when using a public wifi for grinding for obvious security reasons

Thx man, and all apologies for the wall of text everyone

Hi David, I have 225K bonus points coming in from exchanging a second UO Vegas package to points. I got an email from the UO team today saying that they will be added to my account but I have not received them yet. Any chance that I can still take advantage of the discounted CG ticket offer when I get the points?

Hi Unibetdavid,

the Dutch chat support isn't extending my tickets so I thought I asked it here. Can you extend my expired UO tickets, and please concert my 1x10$ UO > 5x2$ UO

Alias: denils

Thank you,
Nils

Hi David,

Thanks for changing back the UK tour tournaments to the old structure (but with antes). Now you have also doubled the starting stack they are much more playable! Thanks for anticipating on the feedback this soon. As I have been pretty salty ITT lately, I also like to mention the good things. I really like the fingerprint login for the app, it is really easy to login now.

David,

There is still a tournament starting at .55. There is a Qualifer to €5 Ticket Rebuy starting at 14.55 CET. This should be changed.

Also at 18.05/21.05/22.05 CET there are Unibet Open qualifiers which are named ''Qualifier to Unibet UK Tour''. This should also still be changed.

I note the 10Euro ticket I won from your raffle was not present.

I can't remember if I already credited this but as he's such a helpful chap I'll credit another just incase.

This way it gets to a shove fest really, really fast.

EDIT: I just realised that after 9 minutes of play you are left with 15BB. I hope you understand what I mean now.

The average stack 8-handed on the FT was 8bb in my game, but I bet there will be other games where it's nearer 5bb, so it barely counts as a skill game imo.

Apologies for the very fast structures we had for a while, this was my fault when changing the schedule over. No need to apologies for saltiness, please let me know when there is something with the schedule (or any aspect of the site) that could do with a 2nd look.

Each stake should be slightly tougher than the previous stake (in theory) but there are some inherent difficulties in moving from NL10 to NL25 (rake moving from 3% to 5% being one of them).

Reducing rake to 3% is an option but it's one that I'd rather not take for reasons discussed (less revenue taken in rake means less to re-distribute in our 'socialist' poker economy). However, I'm certain we could do a better job of re-distributing some more of that at NL25 and NL50 and particularly to losing players. I don't want to create a bottleneck for players who are trying to move up through the stakes and it is something that's being looked into.

We didn't have anything widespread reported so I imagine this was a temporary problem at your end. Let me know if this continues.

In general, why do you do fast structures? At the request of the players?

Personally, I would like to play more tournaments on unibet but with similar structures, I am obliged to go and see on other rooms ...

Andrew wanted to reactivate speed poker and you ? You do not agree ?

Thank you for your work even if you do not meet my expectations
I've asked Leo (Tournament Manager) to take a look at these stakes to see if we could offer some more variation and better structures. I made a conscious effort to correlate structure with amount of fee paid but in hindsight I could have added some more slow-structure MTTs at lower stakes
I expect he'll make some changes next week.

In terms of speed poker, it's a liquidity issue and we're not yet big enough to split our traffic. There is also an issue with game enjoyment (everyone's VPIP decreases) and I think we'd want to make a few changes to the game before bringing it back. However, we have a lot on our priority list above that at the moment so it's unlikely to make a return for a while.

I don't think anybody has any objections here to an auto addon/rebuy button so it's something we'll look to add to the roadmap at some point.

You can see how many rebuys have been made in the specific lobby for any given rebuy tournament (on the right-hand side of the screen).

For people like me who mostly play the browser version it's important as the "bring to front" thing doesn't operate for tournament rebuys and add ons in the same way it does for bustouts, cash rebuy, SNG buy-in etc - so we often end up missing out on the rebuy or add-on (I try to avoid this type of tournament for that reason). I would really like the "table prioritization" turned on for those things - IMHO it's a bug as it stands.

On an unrelated note, anyone else notice the browser version has got a lot laggier lately? It's now slower than the desktop version at least for me.
I'd definitely like some sort of tournament organiser tool so that it was easy to keep track of what you'd like to play. This was requested when we revamped MTT lobbies last year but was quite a lot of work and didn't make it in. I'll ask for it to be added to the list again but might take a while.

The table prio issue for rebuys is more pressing and I had similar feedback from a streamer this week. I've asked for that to be looked into.

Regarding the browser lag, this is the first instance I've heard. Still an issue for you?

With kind regards, Joeri.

Can't post in the other forum because I'm Dutch, so thought I give it a try this way. My screenname is d3324. Thanks.
I could only find one of the tickets (which had expired) so have credited you with another one. Can you confirm if this is correct?

These tickets should all have a 30 day expiry now.

I imagine it's going to be fine for you to do this but am double-checking with support now. Ideally they can add a note to your account so that you will be fine to go ahead and use VPN while travelling and if the countries aren't blocked by us then it shouldn't be an issue.

I'm afraid not, we only ran this as a 2 day thing and we're not able to manually credit you a discounted ticket (would mean opening up the discount to everyone again).

Are you able to send PMs yet (not sure what the required post count is)? I had a reply from security/payments teams and while it's nothing untoward, I'd rather not post info related to your account ITT.

Going to run another raffle for the Sunday Majors this weekend btw - we had overlays in four of them last Sunday and if we're going to lose money then I'd rather some of it is spent ITT

Once again, post your alias in this thread and I'll make the draw and credit tickets on Saturday morning. Prizes will be as follows:

1st - 10th - €100 Supernova ticket
11th - 20th - 3x €10 Cosmic Rays tickets
21st - 30th - 3x €5 Spectrum tickets
31st - 50th - 3x €5 Nebula tickets

If we end up with slightly more than 50 entries then I'll make sure everyone wins something. I reserve the right to exlude anyone from the draw who is posting on 2+2 for the first time!

re: "What MTTs people like to play" - I'm not sure how new it is but I've recently noticed the possibility in the tournament filter to unselect tournaments by clicking them to red - removing all the Unibet Open satellites and getting the buy-in slider right gives me a short enough list to select from so this is fine.

One thing that would be nice is - when you click a ticket above the MTT list the valid tournaments should just show regardless of what's in the filter - if someone clicks on their 1 euro ticket when they have 10-25 euros set in the filter it's not because they are looking for a 10 euro tournament they can enter with a 1 euro ticket.
