Thank you for your e-mail.
Please be advised that as from 12.10.2015, it is only possible to purchase 1 Poker item per calendar month. This decision has been made by the management and we are in the process to introduce a new loyalty scheme.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries.
Kind regards,
Your bwin customer service team
This is so completely stupid, as they claim they are trying to protect rec. players, and only allowing a once a month pick of bonus claiming. This sounds again like a points grab, as you can read in the PS thread that they had over $1,5 mil. in FPP on thier liabilities and are planning to cut that liability through thier new changes by 25%.
So Bwin 1st doubles up on store prices, and locks out players to redeem, and have a new loyality scheme to be introduced at a later date.
Colleen is this what you mean by "ad hoc"
Good you brought this to our attention! I used to buy 5$ tickets every 2-3 days for about 74 points. Thank god i started saving for 50$ tourney tickets now because of the devaluation.
Poker promotions/bonusses for regs are being completly destroyed, i only play a few years , and already i saw a lot of promos/freerolls for regs being removed. Good freerolls gone on ladbrokes(5k montly, 1.5k weekly), ps going down since amaya took over, regularisation destroyed a lot(also playerpools), destroying of hud/other resources, and now also bwin/party is completely joking the regs by making points less worth WITHOUT warning or even some kind of message, and only 1 BONUS a month. I think in the past there where a few sng's 5/10$, sometimes i even played for money instead of my bonus tickets, but i guess now you can wait for hour for sng to fill up?
Do i think this is good for poker? Nope, just rooms trying to make more money in some way, using the 'levelling the field' bs excuse. Reg's will lose their money like what 10, 20 % slower. But they will still LOSE! I hope for 888 to get license soon in belgium, because i think they can be way bigger than PS and party if they do their stuff right! GREED to get happy stockholders, that's all it is.
At least PS is communication about changes, @ bwin, NOTHING
