It's one discard per Challenge type per month. I talked to the developers a bit more and apparently there's a block to stop the same Challenge appearing twice in a row, regardless of circumstance. You can still get it after a one Challenge gap of course.

That's how it already works for the current cycle.

It looks like a lot of stuff that I thought was scheduled hasn't happened, which is why there's no banner for it at the moment. We'll investigate on Monday (the person who I thought was doing it isn't in then either, but we'll figure it out). The mission page is:

I'm interim head of poker for now. Basically my job now includes persuading other departments to work closer with us (and us with them). If I do that, then I'll be "full" head of poker.
It's important that other departments work closer with us because we need them for getting new players. There's a limit to how big we can get with word of mouth and a bit of advertising here and there.

Yeh, they're playthrough bonuses. They're all 20%, so require 5x the rake to clear. It'll be roughly 500x the points to clear them (as 100 points is ~€1 raked).

I've sports bet again today and it still doesn't work so I'll contact support again!
I don't know much about this promo because it's run by someone else, but are you placing £10 bets? If you do 2x £5 it won't work.

I'm not sure why the American's do it this way round but they like to be different! I could have phoned support but I don't have any confidence they would have passed it on.
I'm not sure if this is feature or bug. It's the way I think most Europeans would expect it, but I don't know a great deal about the sportsbook. I'll pass this on and let you know what they say.

I hope we can expect some other promo's in february :'(You already saw that once the rakerace is over with fastholdem games just died out.
Could you also check what people just cashout the money the won from rakerace of the top 10 and stop playing when rakerace is over i am really curious about that
We've done races in the past and they don't appear to harm the ecology, at least in terms of daily churn and VPIP. I don't think that those are the only measures of ecology that we could use, but it's what I've made so far. Races also have a longer lasting effect in that they build up games and the games appear to stay built up.
We'll keep track of how it does here of course.

btw, about the leaderboards for Rake races - when I open them, those are old leaderboards from november and august of 2014 ?
This was another scheduling problem. They'll be updated fully from Monday but some have started to update already (Sweden for example). Sorry about that.

Not sure if this is compensatory or not (I've done fairly well out of your support with adhoc entried to DT etc so am in no way complaining if it's not.)
Sorry, it's not really something I can compensate you for. Nobody could tell what would happen if you kept on playing etc.

Andrew if you're looking to make this fun for the recreational player then it's a thumbs down from me. These guys will hoover up the fish (and regs like me) and then move on. The issue this time is the race goes down to nl10. For me, bonuses, freerolls, cash tickets, free spins etc. all build the player base and make the game fun and interesting (along with challenges and missions). Rake races at nl50/100 and above I could understand but I believe this time around this is counter-productive. This subject is always going to polarise opinion. Thanks for everything you do Adrian.
I agree that the ecology is the most important thing. Previous races didn't hurt it, but they built liquidity. We made this one have a very flat payout schedule because we wanted to avoid only appealing to the guys who play 20 tables.
I think we definitely have to limit how we use races, but for us to see what does and does not work we have to test quite a wide variety of options. This is one of those, and if it doesn't work (or harms us), we won't run it again.
Also, is this a good time to bring up "fold or call when facing a 4-bet"? again

Sorry, no idea. What's your alias? Support are probably a better bet though, I know next to nothing about the rest of the site from a support perspective.
