I have to admire the bravery of putting out massive GTD prizepools like that on a new site. Aren't you worried of massive overlays?

You don't need to be licensed in Sweden if you have EU license. As long as you don't target Swedish players (swedish website, client localization) it will be better. Then we can enjoy your site without being restricted by swedish regulations.

As an example, when PokerStars got swedish license we lost the rakeback, which wouldn't have happened if they did not get a swedish license.

So... going to try a Happy Hour to start with.

At this time, every day, with no expiry (as long as there is interest) we will give a bunch of players at every SNG level a chance at getting a full buy-in back, win, lose or money-back.

They are happening already, yep and we budgeted for it. Being such a liquidity-based game and competitive this time of the year. Have to give people a reason to play. Been pleased enough to be seeing 78 and 82 entries in a $1k buy-in event, even if we did "need" 100 entries.

plenty of time for the business to do well, as long as people are joining and registering and playing, while we build

Lucky enough to have a Swede as our general counsel and regulatory expert. Shall discuss.

The time of day actually sucks for me - but will hop in whenever I can

Seemed to suck for everyone yesterday!

Will monitor and may go back to 4pm ET if it just doesn’t work for people. It’s hard to give away free cash sometimes

Have you now pulled the plug on the $320 $500k guarantee a few days before the event was going to start?

I spoke with support a short time ago.

Event is cancelled and a replacement freeroll ($30K) has been added.

Yeah i'll reply to you, not whoever this pest is taking the trolling interest in us.

We are all pretty devastated, but such is life as a startup still effectively building in BETA. Living and breathing this project for a year plus many of us.

Wasn't much fun realising after Thursday's release and regression that we don't have the confidence to even run a 1500 entry event given the product has been successfully tested to death at 12,000+ players. Sooner this week run a freeoll where all the risk is ours, and get things tip-top for the 10K buy-in next Sunday.

Will make sure after the World Series that we bring back some events at these buy-in levels, with similar huge value for our early adopters.

Trust that any/all players impacted will not feel too aggrieved and appreciate knowing that we will always be generous if things change, either within or outside of our control. Everyone has been compensated quickly and fairly, and as you've noted we invested some of the expected Overlay into a straight cash freeroll for all to play. We can't restrict entries to that, and not sure we'd want to anyways, as many of our players had at least one go at the Main Event freeroll.

Seeing how well things have improved the last couple of days, I'd be pretty confident cancellations will very quickly become a thing of the past, as we grow our schedule of enticing events for players at all levels.

Think the vast majority will understand the above.

Is there any date set for the Go4Pro event?

Sunday, June 4 mate.

The downside of messing with releases in a busy events month, but the some of the stuff we needed in last week's release for us to launch that (i.e. restricted tournaments, mass auto-reg, manual registration to name a few) - all Go4Pro tournament stuff.

It was to go up Friday if everything worked as intended. Hope to send the event live tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday now.

Hope you go deep! would be awesome to spend a week with some of the players that have been with us since Day 1 in Vegas.

Had it in my head it would be Sunday 4th, thank you!

I could think of worse places than Vegas to be in mid-July lol!

The Daily $22 doesn't have a satellite like all the other Daily events - is this a mistake?

@anuj22 - we had a few other development priorities take over, but have finally opened India in time for Sunday's World Series Freeroll.

This is with exception for a few states, as we continue to get some legal opinion;

Telangana
Tamil Nadu
Gujarat
Andhra Pradesh

Sorry for some reason I didn't get my normal subscriber email to have seen this sooner. It was eventually added so thanks if that was because of you on 4Forum!

We are learning from the daily schedule every day and looking to make further improvements for June, which will be effective June 5th, once we get through the Go4Pro event. Should be entirely positive changes - i.e. giving away more seats into some small target events and getting some more interesting satellites - i.e. into bigger Sunday MEGA events (to bigger guarantees). Watch this space.

Nice, thank you.

Not been playing much lately due to other commitments.

I see the schedule expanded towards the very late evening UTC....

Is there any hope it could expand the other way into the early afternoon or even morning or is it not quite there liquidity wise?

No worries at all. Hope you take your shot at the World Series seat Sunday.

Appreciate life takes over and summer is almost here too

Goal remains to get to decent 24/7 schedule. As you touched on though we have limited liquidity to offer any sort of guarantee earlier at the moment we have more players from South America than we do Eastern Europe and Asia so haven’t extended (yet).

Two months of relatively soft launching behind us now, so we’ll keep building and get to a better offering to start putting some marketing and affiliates in, from some of those countries

Sigh, the auto registration really didn't help me and I blinded out before I got home. GL to everyone still in it!

What kind of traffic is there for NL cash on the site?
Which stakes run?

Been almost non-existent, in what has been a relatively soft-launch.

Currently working on a cash leaderboard for our tournament regulars to get some reward for side action and will look to add some affiliates and agents end of summer to bring some traffic specific to cash games.

ok, ty for the info.

Is there a way to get notified of when the cash games will commence, instead of having to keep checking?

Hey Jaznin,

Assuming you're registered - we will be looking to send a mailer before weekend around putting our first promotion around cash games. Hopefully see some uptick from there.

Quickest of note to say that now we are up and going, things are heavier on my side than ever in terms of steering the ship!

Going to ask couple from my team to check into here periodically, otherwise registered players - reach me and the team at our own website's 4Forum (best accessed via the desktop client 4POKER Support link). I won't be able to spread myself too thin. Thanks all for the engagement here.

Vpn allowed?
