Just wanted to elaborate on some questions / comments I haven't addressed yet.

While it's not for everybody, the achievements system is one of the most successful developments we've ever completed. We use it in almost all promotions.
There are two parts to it:
1. The 'standard' achievements which have no prize other than the badge. These are designed for casual players, and are there to encourage players to explore the client, engage with it, and complete basic tasks.
2. Monetised achievements, which are used in promotions. For example, n
ext month's 'March Missions' promotion uses achievements. If you complete a simple achievement each day from 4th to 24th March, you earn entry to a freeroll. There are also harder missions for more serious players, which have cash prizes of €20 and €100.
Essentially when we improve the achievements system we are making promotions more flexible and powerful for the future.

Just wanted to explain how we prioritise features so that we're being as transparent as possible.
Essentially, we estimate every upcoming feature in two ways. First, we look at the value that feature brings to the business (which incorporates revenue, customer satisfaction, urgency etc). Secondly, we look at how much effort it will take to deliver that feature.
The features that score the highest are those which deliver the most business value with the least amount of effort. To optimise for cumulative value, we develop these things first. There are obviously features which are large and complex which deliver a lot of value too, but these will generally only float to the top once the quick wins have been completed.
Tournament lobbies and other improvements to the tournament experience are starting to float to the top now. The break advertisement feature was completed relatively early because it was simple and high value, that's all.
