But seriously I will be watching, hope it gets a lot of viewers and from there a lot of new customers for Unibet.
possibly no time for unibet to implement it ...but how about a 1e headsup sng tournament with the ultimate winner then getting to play victor or even the two finalists .timing would probably be best on a weekend to allow all rounds to complete .

Hi Andrew,

I just played a €10 Unibet Sattelite, and with 9 players left, we should be playing 9 handed ..... well that didn't happen and we were playing a couple of hands 5 handed, how is this possible???? It really changes the total game dynamics when you are playing 9 handed instead of 5 handed................. my nickname is: Pharmacist

this seems very dubious to me. i have no idea how i could have won a 2nd package.
is this legitimate? shall i forward it to someone?
i would wait for Andrew to confirm but Chelsea is a support rep I've spoken to before. Nice problem to have by the way!

These things are quite tricky to organise or we'd have done it earlier and had a promo, but we'll make do with what we have now.

I doubt it'll break any records, but it'll be nice to compete. I'll be more than happy with 5k or so.

Yeh, it would've been nice if we'd have been able to do a proper promo for it. But I see no reason why we can't ask him to play some HU SNG, though it isn't really his game. I don't want to make it where we demand he plays xyz game or says abc thing about Unibet, so I can't guarantee anything though.

Yeh, the schedule is awkward with the WSOP and UO Glasgow and so forth. We'll definitely archive it and have highlight videos though.

I have no idea why it's signed from "Maria support" as that's a different brand... But apparently it's because you won one from Challenges on 20th March and another on 14th May.

I think if we do this again, we'd have this kind of thing. The problem is that we don't have HU MTT so it's hard to qualify people in. I think we'll just have to live with him playing NL/PL50+ and switching tables quite often this time round.

The system waits for a hand to finish at the other table before merging the two. Sometimes it gets confused and waits for too many hands. I believe this is fixed in the release on the 28th.

Although I'm very glad that using PT/HEM isn't possible (and suspect that most people who've played for a while on nit-infested rakeback sites would agree), this would be very nice for a future release (and I wouldn't have to keep PMing Andrew every month for basic win/loss, number of hands numbers).

Use an Excell sheet Its not that hard to note down your startbankroll each month and session results after each session and after a month you can make a graph. I have been doing this since last year in May works fine and its pretty easy

You could also PM me - I'm fine with telling people their monthly results for rake/hands played/etc.

I guess my main worry here is that it's unlikely to keep regular players, but is likely to lose us irregular ones. I want players who are happy to get 20 hours of entertainment from poker each month and if it costs €50 so be it. If they could see after a year that they're down €600 I think it has a bigger psychological impact.

I agree, but if a casual player's only playing NL for 20 hours/month unless they're truly terrible their results after a year are going to be mainly due to randomness anyway, while variance is even higher in other forms of the game.

Also, if they did lose €600 in a year they'd probably have had to redeposit which would have alerted them to their plight.

Looking forward to your explanations.
Its not beginners you want to reward, it's DEPOSITORS. Whether that depositor plays 10 hands, 1000 hands, nl4, nl200, sites should be flooding these accounts with merchandise, tickets, anything to make them feel good and rewarded for playing poker at their site.

Rewarding BEGINNERS is in the right direction, but you're still wasting promo money on small-time sharks and debit-card-nits, whilst letting good depositors get butchered because they wanted to play some higher buyins or a few extra hands that month. It's 2015, NL50 on any site is still going to be tough.

My gripe with Unibet's model is that it takes a big cut of rewards from a large range of high-raking customers (compared to other sites), which is all meant to subsidize the few euros given to beginners.

This graph shows Unibets rewards vs Stars. There's a few biases such as:

1. Unibet's lower rake at nl4+nl10
2. Unibet's higher rake at nl50+
3. Pokerstars' large freerolls have been omitted.
4. Unibets rewards reset quarterly, Stars is annually.
5. I used highest rewards possible for both sites.


Stats were taken and recorded by myself from Unibet site and Pokerstars.com.
http://tinypic.com/r/rwthfp/8
https://www.pokerstars.com/vip/tiers/

I believe Andrew when he says unibet give away more revenue/rewards than other sites but I think its because the player base is currently low volume and low stakes as the software is still taking off.

This is a great situation for beginners punting a few euros now, but when the the site grows, the 5.5% rake with 9% rewards and 2015+ skilled players is going to make for many more butchered/disheartened players in the future. I just don't think this is a healthy model for the current state of online poker.

The email says i've won a 2nd package to glasgow, but shouldn't the 1.25mm points i recently reached automatically win me a package to Cannes? Is the wording wrong and what i won is actually the ticket I would normally use for Cannes? Or have i somehow earnt an extra ticket independently of earning a Cannes package?

If the prior is the case, then I've now made the mistake of asking for cash tickets instead of a unibet open Cannes package.

A massive hit to players was being able to see their graphs. If you could see a year long graph showing how much you've spent in the pub or eating out, you'd probably stop that too

I think you're missing the point about randomness.

The probability of, say, a -10 BB/100 casual player running at greater than, say, -3 BB/100 over say 10k hands is surprisingly high.

The following thread makes me think Unibet is on the right track not allowing HUDs or other software aid:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...tware-1533249/

Also the Blom promo seems like a great idea.

But I really don't get why Banzai is treated as poker by Unibet. To alot of people poker is about the dream of being able to earn a living playing cards. Take away that possibility and all that is left is something that belongs in your Casino department.

That's just my opinion though. Overall Unibet is great and I should start playing there again. Keep up the good work!
