Excellent news to have 30 streams in addition to the PokerGo coverage, and I'm really glad to learn that Tuck will be coming back, along with expert commentary. And with Ali on the main broadcast, I hope Nick Schulman commentates as often as possible.

As much as I love complaining, the only reason to do so now is if you're just a cheapskate.

The bonus coverage is very exciting news indeed!!


It must be hard for companies to try and predict how customers may respond to different prices - not sure how the everybody else might feel about this, but yes if the annual subscription was available for $69.99 would personaly maybe start to feel more like getting the annual membership might be more of a bargain than picking and choosing when to subscribe each month? With the Super High Roller Bowl, and the extra WSOP coverage, and the free coverage thrown in, and the purple jacket series, and some Poker After Darks?

Anyone that has Amazon Prime gets a free subscription to a twitch channel each month. A subscription is not necessary to view twitch content live but generally offers some bonuses like being able to view past streams.

I'm not watching wsop coverage unless it's free, and maybe not even then. If that makes me a cheapskate that's ok.
Now this has promise!

Unless you're going to complain while enjoying the free coverage, I don't think what I said applies to you.

Why, whats wrong with pokergo?

WPT tournament of champions streaming now with David Benyamine, not seen him in ages!

Plus super high roller bowl on soon, love that tournament.

And its only $10 ffs. If that's a problem, maybe poker's not for you.

Have you considered reading the thread? Maybe the answers you seek are in here!

They would be better off with ads, as is it's just annoying to deal with another bill I have to manage every month. These stupid sub sites just don't get it. If I have 10 bills a month I don't need some mini bill getting in the way and having to unsub when their **** gets stale. Go with ads and people don't have to deal with stupid BS like adding yet another bill per month that when the WSOP ends you have to manage cuz there isn't much content.

Their product will fail cuz they don't understand their customer base. Poker got popular cuz of recs and they won't pay for a monthly fee, they wanna watch and play for cheap and not have stupid monthly bills.

The WSOP is basically dead for the rec cuz of this nonsense. Might as well make the Triton stream the new WSOP lol. At least they get their core audience ie their golden goose. If you think this is about the money of the monthly bill then you are not thinking.





#WSOPisdead

What are you even talking about? PokerGo just announced that they will have 30 WSOP tournaments including 25 final tables on Twitch, which is free. That's in addition to the One Drop tournament and every day of Main Event which will be broadcast for free on ESPN/ESPN2. They are giving people a ridiculous amount of free content. However, those of us that want even more can pay $10/month.

Tell me how internet ad money works. I dare you.


The amount of traffic you need is absurd. The more niche your market, the harder to generate revenue with ads. Poker programming is quite niche. No way they generate enough revenue through an ad based platform.

Exactly. Last year I installed the app, saw there was nothing there without subscribing, and immediately deleted it. Who wants more accounts and silly recurring bills? When I cut the cord, I didn't do it to replace one big monthly bill with lots of little monthly bills.

I'll pay for what I want to see, but it's up to the provider to make their pitch. Meanwhile, the 2+2 forums were filled with unhappy PokerGo customers. Who's gonna pay for that?

This is good news. If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have considered trying again this year. You just did a better job advertising PokerGo than PokerGo itself.

I guess there are a lot of people like me, and someone over there noticed that their poor business model wss performing ... well, poorly.

I don't like it but i subbed to see the Negreau vs. Polk showdown yesterday

Don't know about other people here, but 888 sent me an e-mail with a promo code that I can enter to get 1 month free sub.
I almost don't play there anymore, so it's def for all their customers if it was for me.
How could I boycott something I can enjoy for free ?

I’m a cord cutter, it’s not that big a deal. Sign up for PokerGo. Go to you calendar on your phone/computer and set reminder for when WSOP ends. Cancel PokerGo. That took a whole 5 minutes.

Just a heads up for anyone who skimmed the schedule at first like I did, the twitch stream will have day 2 of a few of the 10k mixed game events, not only the final table, which is amazing.

Be careful with that "free trial", people are getting surprise $99 bills on their cards.

https://www.reddit.com/r/poker/comme...free_trail_on/

They say that promotion is canceled, but "7-day free trial" still appears on their website in some cases.

Can the announcers be any worse? Im cancelling just for that!

first teitch stream starts June 2 this saturday, cant wait! plus its o8 which I enjoy watching, that and stud 8 are my two favs personally.

NL is good if you have 3-4 well known pros but you usually dont, thats why the big mioxed events are always fun to watch

You mean to tell me that you're not enjoying the extended masturbation jokes?

It's not a "free trial", it's a "free month" that is "offered" by 888.
I received a code to enter on the billing tab at PokerGO's subscription and didn't have to enter any credit card code, so I don't know how they could charge me anything more.

I'm aware of the 888 promotion. That is a separate thing, unrelated to this. Did you read the thread or even the image I posted?

This is the standard free trial with auto-renewal. Lots of online services have this. You give your credit card info, but the auto-renewal isn't supposed to kick in until the trial period is over. So you have that much time to cancel. Apparently PokerGo just immediately billed people.

Yes I read the thread, it started with a user who complained he couldn't watch donkaments for free this year, which by the time isn't true anymore and I just went here to make people know about 888's promotion if they didn't know yet.
I didn't read whole thread and don't know why you suddenly come up with that free-trial billing problem, though.

I just thought you were reacting to my previous post but seems like not.

I'm talking about the Reddit thread I posted which has several people saying they were fraudulently charged.

Nope.

Signed up yesterday to watch SHR Bowl, day 1 replay streamed fine but the second day is having connection issues. Anyone else have any issues watching the replay?

Pretty lol that I only signed up yesterday and am already having streaming issues.
