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.
You get the same points regardless of how long it takes to complete, sometimes you can get lucky and complete one very fast.

The challenge points awarded are different per challenge based on the average hands taken to complete.

Hello Andrew..

How can I feel safe playing at unibet, when sites like pokerstars are unable to detect all bots/collusion without the
help from the community and HH-sharing(russian ptr)? Would you say that your system for detecting cheaters are superior to pokerstars?

I've been playing on Unibet for about a week and have really enjoyed myself. I've been playing online for a dozen years and playing on Unibet gave me the same feeling that I once enjoyed playing on Paradise way back in the day.
It's actually fun to play poker again which is something I haven't felt for a long time playing on other sites.

It was tough for me to make the switch to Unibet as I'm not used to depositing on sites and in my old age I've become somewhat complacent and conditioned by what the industry offers us. Unibet gives a completely different look and user experience then any other site I've played on. The graphics are amazing and the lobby is extremely user friendly.

As for the business approach, who knows if it will be Unibet or some other site that pops up... but the reality is this business approach with anonymous tables and a HUD free environment will be the future of online poker. The other systems aren't sustainable and are already showing leaks in the dam.

The only things that I'd to see improve are the MTT offerings and the ticket sats that feed them. tbh I think the rake is a little high in MTT's especially at the higher buy ins and I'd like to see it scaled a bit.

As for cash games the price points are all fine but I think they've made an error in the blinds for NL25. Currently the blinds are .10-.25 and I think this should be switched to .15-.25. This adjustment will help the site as more flops will be seen by the sb vs bb battles and it help the recreational players who instinctively play to loose. Giving a bigger sb will reduce their error of opening too many hands. This small adjustment would be good for the site imo.

Hello, I am missing some tickets from Unibet Open stream. I participated all days except saturday and I only got 1x4NL and 1xUO2€. Also I won the 10NL raffle, I was asked my alias in twitch PM (which I answered right away - 17 september 7pm CEST). Alias used in all of them: yesyes6.

Another low priority feature request to put on the list.

When I click "View Profile", at top right there is a challenges box/panel showing points and my major challenges for both Holdem and Omaha. It would be nice if the system knew who was overwhelmingly a Holdem player and who was overwhelmingly an Omaha player because it would be better to show these people both the major and minor challenge for their preferred game in that panel and nothing about the challenge for the game they don't play.

There'll be a server restart in the early hours of Monday (28th). There's no client release this month, just server changes:
  • Q4 Challenges with 4 unlockable avatars added
  • October Mission with 2 unlockable avatars added
  • Autumn Bootcamp promotion added
  • Super Double Trouble promotion added
  • 5 new avatars added
  • 8 previously locked avatars unlocked for everyone
  • Fixed an issue causing bonus progression not to work correctly when a player cleared multiple steps with one hand/tournament

So I'm waiting for people to be back from Cannes.
The NL4 and UO2 tickets should be done now.

I'll test the waters, as this wouldn't be purely my decision.

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.
The aim of a lot of our Twitch activity is to attract new players. One way that we do this is give away small stakes tickets during the Unibet Open. It's also why I don't really advertise it in this thread.

They're pretty mixed. I don't want to make it purely about altering behaviour to clear a Challenge because it rewards players who pay more attention and I'd prefer to not make that a prerequisite to playing on the site.

It's also hard to come up with interesting Challenges that don't make one set or another of players to play significantly worse. I guess I don't mind making good players play worse, but there aren't really ways to do that that don't also harm weak players.

You can discard one of each Challenge per month if you get one you really hate.

The number of points per challenge are set in advance. So there's an incentive to alter your behaviour, but ideally not by a lot because the lost expectation by playing worse should make up for the gained Challenge points per hand.

We'll have the new tournament lobbies ready for the end of Oct, and we'll have a new tourney schedule by then. We've tested running a few tournaments on lower rake and it doesn't appear to do anything, but I take your point on the bigger tournaments.

We just went with the industry norm here. Aren't we at risk of making the jump from NL10 to NL25 too big by doing this?

The Challenges page is all basically a compromise for time vs. what we'd like to build. Redesigning it is definitely on the list of things to do, but I think it'll be a while until it's ready. It's going to get more complicated too because ultimately I want Banzai and SNG Challenges too.

I have recieved two 4NL tickets, and two UO 2E tickets. Many thanks for that, but i think i'm missing one or two since i was viewing the stream and participating the give aways all days, except the first day. Also i won two raffle's. One NL10 ticket and one 5Banzai if i'm correct. I've responded to a private message on twitch for the NL10, havn't recieved a message for the 5Banzai. No rush on this please, just thought i'd let you know. I'm sure everything will be just fine. But since other people where mentioning, i thought let me do the same.

One more thing, i just loved the stream! Like last UO this one was great, the commentary was beautifull and everything was just ay okay! Many thanks to everyone who made it possible!

You will get some cash and sng/mtt tickets every month (mostly in the 4 to 10€ range) for easy challenges like play one sng or something like that

@andrew: Again no sng promotion =/?

^ You mean the missions? If you play at the lowest stakes then IMHO they are worth doing - e.g. play 5 euro worth of tournaments to get a 4 euro ticket for something - so it's way more than 100% rakeback.

https://www.unibet.com/promotions/po...tember-mission

If you are so bad at tournament play (or HU, the HU SNGs take way less time than the other SNGs) that you are drawing dead in those tournaments then maybe it's not plus EV but then you have some major leaks that must be affecting your cash play. Obviously if you normally play NL400 then it's not worth the screen space to complete the mission but otherwise it's worth doing.
