I switched to mtts now and I was planning to grind in your site regularly. My only experience is in Pokerstars software and how pokerstars operated. I have some suggestions to make
1)
You recently signed Ike Haxton. This is what pokerstars used to do and I dont think it had success. The reasoning to sign a team pro is to gain new players at your site or if you have decent traffic among all stakes attract more recreationals chasing the high stakes dream. In my opinion you should invest to people involving in social media to attract recreationals in your site. Tonka, Veldhuis, Staples or find someone who will actually be fun to watch, sponsor him and broadcast every day. You either need a person who has a fan base to promote your site or a person who will work every day in twich in order to do that. Youtubers / twitchers are the most valuable to promote your site. In tournaments your ability factor is +6 at least on stakes of 55$+ That means your site lacks of recreational players and I cant think a better way to promote a site than what I recommended
2)
When I started playing in pokerstars everyone was saying ''I want to be a supernova elite'' Many people tried many succeed but even more failed. You know what is the trick with Elite? People (both recs and regs) were having something to achieve within a year. Pokerstars gave them a goal. Moreover Pokerstars was clever because they knew if we want to achieve elite we cant really grind in any other sites because elite itself is a huge grind. My recommendation is give something for people to commit in your site. A heavily promoted similar to elite vip would be amazing. Your cashback program is good. The issue is that a rec or even a reg will grind a week take cashback and then look in another site with better promo the next week. But if you have a yearly vip like supernova / supernova elite it will be very hard not to commit
3)
Even though I was planning to grind in party poker mainly, chosing you over your competitors, I read a new post every 2-3 days about botting/collusion/cheating in your platform. Even regs seem to not feel safe playing there and it will be very bad for your reputation if the word about low security standards in party poker is out there. It will move away most recs who already think that something is going on in online poker. Botting/cheating is a universal issue and I think the companies must work together. If a player is banned in pokerstars for cheating why he should allowed playing in partypoker? Share your personal details, check ids and even take legal actions against people. Cheaters damage the company after all. I firmly believe you should work with Pokerstars for this. Not because their security is better but security will radically improve if you share the knowledge on how and who cheated. Not usernames but actual id's must be shared and banned permamently
4)
The mtt filters are pretty bad imo. I unfiltered bounties but there are still there because they are overlapping in some other category. I cant filter speeds neither choose NLH only tournaments. I have to see FLH because it is a holdem game but most important the filters for the buy ins are quite poor. I dont understand why there isnt a custom buy in filter
The positive is that you listen to people. I personally like PSKO and i do think it will attract more recreationals. Regs will whine but they will adjust. That being said variety is important The most important is to bring more recs at the moment. Props to your tournament team who is genuinly try to impove the schedule
I see people protesting about the changes. Everything is trial and error. I can see enough regular games and bounties. Bounties attract more recs because they are more fun to play and ability factor in sharkscope reveals it

1. Pro players and ambassadors help us reach out to the player community and bridge the gap between ourselves and our players
Our ambassadors work closely with the teams to share their knowledge and player feedback to help improve our site There is great value in having a dedicated, experienced team of players in our team alongside the marketing benefit and reach these players have in the global community
The Twitch players you recommend are all PS players and play via their own channels - our own Twitch channel looks to offer something different with recreational players and coverage from our global LIVE events including SHR cash games and our MILLIONS tour
2. VIP programs such as Elite/Nova etc are a personal preference and not open to all Our cashback reward system offers weekly rakeback in the form of cash directly to our players accounts Alongside our regular promotions IMO we offer a very competitive package and will remain for the time being - we have no plans in the near future to change this
3. Regarding BOTS and accusations of "cheating" on our site - to some degree all sites will have BOTs and players who will try to break the rules - we have a dedicated team working around the clock to deal with such issues- concerns can be sent directly to the team and all issues will be fully investigated We have recently increased team numbers and improved our systems We would never share any players info or data with other players or sites due to our data privacy laws hence your suggestion above is not possible
4. Filters are on the roadmap for improvement alongside other software improvements - hopefully, to be implemented in the coming weeks though I have no exact date to share
Regarding PSKOS, again its a personal preference - some love these games and some hate them Following recent business trends these games are growing in popularity and we will offer them in our schedule The plan is to find a balance in the regular schedule where we offer something for all
We will in the coming week have some news to share regarding a new schedule (launched hopefully on the 5th) with various themes aiming to offer a consistent, competitive and varied schedule for all removing current cannibalism and offering a simple, user-friendly layout and experience

If you are referring to Patrick Leonard - Pads has been with us for some time and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our player panel
His integrity and dedication to party is second to known and he is a great asset to the team
I won't speak on Pads behalf, however, I can assure you he runs a tight ship and his stable play on our games as do many, many other stables and groups
I see no issues and don't believe there is any evidence to suggest any wrongdoing from any of the players and to claim otherwise if unfounded and unsupported by any evidence what so ever
Thanks
