Dont think so, I use the 2e UO to buy in into the 1e turbos and it gives you double chips and I think you can choose multiple tickets when you first register
but pretty sure you cant do a mix of cash/tickets.

already fixed.

I have two days left on my welcome bonus and I'm soooo close to releasing the 80 but won't make it. Any chance of getting this extended a bit? Thank you so much if possible.

Hi Andrew,

Could you please change my 4x€5 Banzai NL5 tickets into 20x€1 SNG?
Alias: WhiteWolf5

Thank you!

Whats less variance of folding when you can win Atleast 5 euro instantly by shoving all-in?

Plug in your 52o vs 4 random hands (=all hands 4 times) and you'll see equity is still decent enough to not lay your hand down

Sorry for not catching up with the thread while in Cannes, hopefully I'll get it all done today.

I'm sure you know them all well now, after being glued to the stream the last few days?

Not needed now I guess?

Sure, done.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, I hope you didn't withdraw everything!

Yeh, gamer SNG went pretty well. Almost 14k peak viewers is great, considering we aren't on very often yet.

Yeh, a guy at NL4. He also only won with a pair. It was a bit disappointing really, and it sucked that it happened at the same time as UO Cannes so a lot of players couldn't take part, but the month has been great otherwise.

There're still a few milestones to go at least!

Sure, done.

For 200m (and 100m) it had to be done by hand. It was done the next day, so all should be fine now.

OK, done.

Queued bonuses don't expire. I can cancel the welcome bonus when you reach the last step if you like.

Cool, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the site.

If you have any ideas for Challenges, let me know. As you correctly figured out, I like using them to teach people to play a bit better because I think the way to get people to play poker for a long time is to show them some of the strategy that makes it a skill game. Some of them are a bit exploitable at the moment though, which I don't like as much.

When we made the poker client a couple of years ago, we knew we wanted to have milestones as a promotion. So the client purposely saves hands that end in 00000, and waits until a cash hand starts.

So if we're on x999 and the server needs to deal a tournament hand, it will deal it as x001. Then when the server needs to deal a cash hand, it will go back to x000.

Note that we deal hundreds of hands per second during milestones, so it isn't possible to take advantage of this.

Sure, done.

Thanks, and yeh, it was great that everything worked this time. It's just a pity that it was during UO Cannes and near the end of the month or we'd have had a lot more traffic.

Imagine if it had been on the 25th this month - Swedish payday, Friday, everyone's back from Cannes, biggest promotion of the year (so far), etc. Oh well. 300m maybe (or 333m...)

The reduced table cap made a big difference too of course, but I'm taking that as more of a positive.

I think we have a general problem in that we can't easily communicate with players via the client sometimes. This is also a problem with things like server restarts for releases or maintenance. I can post it on 2 + 2, but that isn't much use for 95% of our players. We definitely need a better system for the next promo like this.

Yeh, bad timing with Cannes. As I believe is mentioned later on, milestones are still going though. We're only half way through.

Good idea, hopefully we can get this for next time.

We wanted to do this, but it's against the terms of our Danish license. Players have to know what they're betting for. I wanted to make it a "notional all-in" where it didn't cost any chips to be all-in during milestones, but that was too hard from the server side. Maybe for next time...

Yeh, I think a notional all-in would be better.

Yeh, OK, done.

Sure, done.

Yes, you still get the loser's share.

I don't like this either, but marketing managers do and I don't want to over rule them unless I really have to. If you say "up to €1m" it isn't technically false advertising though.

Our expectation in that hand is a bit under €100k, but I don't think that's much of an advertising message. I don't mind putting that on promo pages though, perhaps we should for next time.

The multiplier tab for milestones does work in this way, but I agree it would be better to show the actual monetary amount instead. We can do that for next time.

This is a perennial problem. It isn't very obvious that seeing more flops is good for the amount you win. I think we need a way to make this clearer somehow.

The good thing with milestones is that there's a long time between them, so we have a higher chance of making changes. I agree that it's fun to rail those hands on PS, but we don't have chat so it's a bit less exciting.

It's certainly one form of marketing, but I prefer finding ways to make the message about it being in both of our interests if you do abc. That's how we tend to do most of our promos.

Sure, done.

Sure, done.

The tourney lobby kind of sucks at the moment. ETA 5 weeks until the new version is released though.

The normal workaround to this problem is to close the lobby and then rejoin it again from the main one.

Is this for http://www.unibet.com/ ? Do you still have this problem?

165 flops is 100% rakeback for the duration of the ticket. If we reduced the hand requirements then the ticket would be > 100% rb but almost nobody would notice, so they'd be upset that we're reducing rewards.

forgot the alias
it's kkkkk14

Still needed. Sorry, thought it would expire. I unregistered from the tournament now.

Hi Andrew, could you please convert all my tickets into bonus? Thank you, alias is gooddaylol.

Sure, done.

Tourney schedule will probably be mid to late Oct, I'm not sure what the best way to do it is yet so we need to talk about it internally.

As for iGame, apparently I should not have been talking about it, so I'd better keep details to myself for now, insofar as there are any.

Yeh, I like them. I think that during breaks we need more content though. Hand analysis or something from earlier play - breaks kill the viewer numbers right now, and I don't blame them.

Sure, done.

Hurrah!

Sure, done.

The mythical bonus shop should fix it.

It's an error message bug. The limits are 8 at each of NL4, PL4 and NL10. This is how it always is. It's 2 at any Banzai stake too.

But during milestones, the total limits are 10 (not 12). We couldn't fix the bug without a client release though, so it's going to be inaccurate all month.

Yeh - the expectation is the same but the variance is higher.

Yeh, I think that adding action to the game is good too. We often target missions or promos at specific games purely to increase the action there.

I like this. I think we need a component of both perhaps, because we need to make recent play important too. Milestones is meant to boost play during the hand rather than turn it purely into a month long grind. But your way means that 194-195m becomes more important too.

What's your alias? I'm 99.999% sure that there's nothing wrong there.

We doubled 201.1 to 201.9m payouts. It was in the mailer & is meant to be on the website, though I don't see anything there yet...

The problem is that it will cannibalise our regular satellites a bit. I agree that it will be good for some people, but I don't think we're big enough to split our focus much.

It has to be all from the same source I'm afraid.

Sure, done.

Thanks, done.

OK, done.

Sure, done.

Am I the only one who hasn't got any tickets from the stream yet?

I haven't credited them yet. I have the chat logs but I don't know which keywords were which ticket. I don't really want to just do NL4 tickets for everyone on the list because it's hard to tell who is just spamming and who won tickets on different days. So I'm waiting for people to be back from Cannes.

hi andrew,

i think i won a twitter comp but i havent had confirmation. my twitter name is @phil10220. can you please let me know if i did indeed win.

thanks

Hey Andrew. Will there be qualifiers for the Unibet Open Antwerpes?
I mean, qualifiers for just the buy-in of €1100, not the €2000 package. I think alot of Belgian and Dutch players would be interested in this

uh wow, was in panic when I logged in and all my alias and tourney tickets were gone. After relogin both showed up again

Andrew,
Could You extend my double-trouble ticket?

thx darkzpf

Have I missed this promo? What is it?

Hi Andrew,
I'm a little bit confused about the challenges. I've read examples of them like "fold Ax trash utg, 3bet from the bb etc" and in these examples you have to do something to complete them. You have control. But my current challenges are: Major challenge: "Reach a flop where the cards add up to 26 or more. Jacks, queens, kings and aces don't count."
Minor challenge: "Be dealt a pair, then the next hand be dealt a higher pair."
My first minor challenge was "be dealt an offsuit hand, the the next hand be dealt the same suited hand (maybe not the exact wording of the challenge). For all of these challenges I have very little to no control. Are the challenges somewhat randomly assigned to players? Am I just very unlucky to have gotten three of those particular challenges in a row?

Apart from being unhappy with my challenges I very much enjoy playing on Unibet. You brought the fun back to playing poker for me! Before I started playing on Unibet I couldn't imagine playing without a HUD nor playing 6max. And here I am now playing every day if I can manage it with my work. Thank you!!!

They have giveaways on the twitch stream, The ones Andrews referring to here is to do with the Unibet Open stream, There was giveaways everyday for 5 days.

They are starting to run regular streams and Sam Grafton has been on a lot and they normally giveaway a few tickets.

Follow on twitch at
http://www.twitch.tv/unibetpoker
and it will email you when they are live or follow on twitter/facebook its usually announced there as well.

Andrew can you change my 50€ UO ticket to 5*10€ UO tickets?

tnx

Hi Andrew,

I have a double trouble ticket this week but unfortunately something has come up so I won't be able to play it. It would be great if you can extend it to next week.

Alias: Jugador

Thanks

Quite enjoyed Cannes, then again it helps a lot that I actually speak French fluently Was my first Unibet Open and hope more will follow.

how many tickets were you giving out for the 10k freeroll this week? (max. entrants)

Hey Andrew

I was wondering, Ive been playing quite some time now on Unibet on about every limit, but is it possible to tell me how many hands Ive played on 4nl and how much profit? Or just the bb/100.
My username is waffeltje.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Andrew, my welcome bonus is about to expire - I thought they lasted 3 months not 2 months. Any chance of an extension?

Also a question about the challenges. Are the points awarded basically saving up (the equivalent of) FPPs as you play cash and then releasing them in chunks as challenges are completed, or do you potentially score more points by adapting your style of play to the challenge? I was thinking particularly of the "3-bet preflop then flop an overpair" - if it was actually an incentive to 3-bet with hands like 88+ or if it just means you finish the challenge more quickly but getting fewer points.
