Skrill cash outs are very fast, usually within 12 hours, that is in line with the likes of Coral, William Hill so very good standard.

Unibet have the upside of their software not causing actual pain via the horrific software.

If you are going to run a MTT promotion you REALLY have to clean the schedule. Can't have a schedule with ~20% standard NLHE tournies and the rest 80% being satellite, Crazy, Multi-buy, Ante Up, PLO(I like PLO but they aren't that popular)

Right now on the front page of scheduled there is:

4 NLHE
5 Sattys
2 Ante NLHE
2 Multi-buy NLHE
2 PLO
1 Multi-buy PLO
1 Freeroll NLHE
1 Centroll NLHE

You have two types of cash games and two types of SNGs but for some reason ~10 types of tournaments? With only two being popular, NLHE freezeout and NLHE satellites.

This variety isn't needed in cash/sng so why should it be needed in tournaments?

Also, the Saturday Stack Qualifier starts one hour and ten minutes after the Saturday Stack. Assuming this is a mistake.

I know it isn`t common name in Sweden, but many Scandinavians change their name abroad to make it easier.

Screen-name??? I think my username at Unibet is good enough

The rake is 3% to €3 at PLO25.

Sites need to make money. If we cut our rake across the board, we would lose money.

We just went with the industry standard here. I doubt it'd make much difference to the overall numbers, but it might be quite a lot of work as it affects a fundamental part of the software. I'll ask.

But the broader point is that if you reduce rake, it doesn't attract (m)any players. Most people don't know or care about the rake. We can see this where I reduced PLO25 rake for a month - nobody noticed in this thread and nobody mentioned it to support. I did the test to find out how it affected churn numbers, and it worked.

I quite like this idea. I play a lot of Path of Exile, and used to play a lot of Hearthstone - both are freemium games, though the latter is a lot more pay-to-win. POE makes most of its money from cosmetic changes.

It'd be much too much of a gamble to take though. We couldn't introduce it as a new feature before lowering rake because people would be upset, but if we introduced it when we lower rake and it doesn't work, we go bust.

Thanks, I've reported it.

Sure, but it'll have to be on Monday as I can't access the back office from home. I can get number of SNG, but not number of hands played in them.

Cool, glad to hear you like it. Hand replayer and tourney lobby redesign will both come after the summer - I think when we have those we're much closer to being feature complete.

Yeh, they're playthrough bonuses worth 25% rb (as far as I recall, I can't check from here). I can convert to cash game tickets, tourney tickets or playthrough bonuses. Cash tickets have to be 100bb though.

Could you post your alias please?

I don't actually know this - it's a site wide thing rather than a poker thing, so I don't have much to do with it. Hopefully the rest of the thread can help here.

Cool, glad to hear you liked it. I'm English, but I lived in Stockholm for a year.

Sure, I'll convert it when I'm in the office on Monday.

The mailer went out on Friday, though I didn't receive it for some reason, so I'm not sure how widely it was sent yet. It may be that you're opted out of promotional mails, you can change this in your account settings on the website.

The problem is that we also get feedback that people wanted more variety when we didn't have it. That said, when we relaunch the tourney lobbies I think we'll rebuild the tourney schedule from the ground up too.

I'm not sure what happens here, I'll ask the guy who is looking after the tourney schedule.

Hi andrew, could you chance my 10.44 PLO4 ticket to a 10nl NL holdem ticket

Thanks

Is it normal that the client is very hungry for RAM? Using 900M when just 2 tabling.

Also the client does not fit to my 15" laptops desktop which is a bit hilarious.

About the bootcamp:
Guess this is having a straight flush at any point in the hand and even when villain(s) folded before showdown?

banzai doesn't count towards challenges?

No, you get 1point for 1c in rake at Banzai

We will also credit €250 cash to any player who is dealt a straight flush between June 1st and July 31st!

Can you only win this once?

Is PLO included?

Well then, **** me!
Playing for nothing.

I'll reply to the thread properly tomorrow, but ouzoke, that's the amount of points you get in Challenges in every game.

Hey Andrew,
I have 14€ in sng/mtt tickets. Can you please exchange them to bonuses?
Login name is: shoveinist

Morning Andrew, just in case you didn't know

the lobby headers are broken it seems today



logged out and back in again and also same.

same here.

damn, just had one moments ago in a banzai game, missed by some 12 hrs...

not entirely true, how about the leaderboards then, where you get cash if you finish in top 100?

Well congrats to ILIKEGRAVY who just got a royal flush 5 minutes into the promo.

I didn't explain it very well but your not playing for nothing, I am sure Andrew explaining it will make a lot more sense.

Sorry

Just had a really weird bug. I was waiting for a table, when it popped up I clicked to buy in, a popup came up saying "You are not allowed to sit in this game", but it sat me anyway, and I was the big blind on my own immediately to the left of the button.

I am still waiting for that glorious day in my life

We don't know what this one is - what's your alias? Also, which platform are you logging in from?

I assume this is OK now?

I'm afraid that I can't exchange cash game tickets that have already seen flops.

These are the two biggest problems we have. For a start, it's pretty resource intensive, yes. This was a design decision - we wanted to have a client that looked modern, but we also wanted to be able to run it on as many platforms as possible without needing a hundred developers. We therefore run it on Adobe Air, which lets us have a PC, Mac, browser, iOS and Android version and a team of a dozen or so developers. I think this design decision was good one.

And yeh, the desktop client lobby doesn't fit properly into the most common desktop resolution (1366x768). This was also a design decision, though I'm not sure who by as it was before my time. I think this design decision was a very poor one, and it's causing us problems with e.g the Android version. Unfortunately there isn't a lot that we can do about it for now as it's so fundamental to the way the client works now.

In the long-term we hope to resolve both of these problems, but it's going to be at least a year and probably more like 18 months until we can get much done there.

Well, this sucks because that was not meant to be in the promo. It was in a draft but it looks like the wrong version was added to the site.

We didn't run it because it meant that most of the money would end up going on straight flushes, and that doesn't really do what we want. So we changed it so that all of the money went into the total prize pool instead. It's now 100k total over two months.

Thanks for pointing this bit out, I've asked for it to be corrected.

Sure, done. Though I blacklisted your alias.

Thanks, this was due to a configuration error on the developer's side - they fixed it on Sunday.

Yes, weird - what's your alias? Which platform were you logged in with at the time?

Some feedback about promo!

Shame I was looking forward to that part. I'd prefer a lot less money in the main promo and this active.

It would have been great as the straight flush reward isn't there to have split the prize pool weekly into three tiers eg something like 2k 3k and 5k with 4nl-10nl competing for 2k, 25nl-100nl competing for 3k and 200+ for 5k. Or whatever numbers worked when you looked into it.

This would give all limits a good chance at the promotion. Because as it stands as a 4nl player that was thinking of having a shot at 10nl for the promo it is going to be too hard for me to compete with higher players due to the multipliers. Also 4nl and 10nl have table cap so that makes it harder to compete too (although multiplier is main issue for us micro players)

So without the straight flush even given I'm a passionate cash player at micro stakes I can't see me getting much incentive from the promotion due to the uneven playing field.

This is just feedback, I realise you can't please everyone all the time, and you need to incentise high rakers but I think if promo was split like I suggested everyone would be incentivesed and there could still be a combined end of boot camp board to sort out an overall winner.

Given how much effort you put into adding value evenly across all player strands on the site I'm surprised you didn't take the option of splitting the weekly leader boards.

Have a good week!

Andrew,

can you check on my mtt ticket and change it to 4x1euro sngs?
