Hi Andrew, I signed up recently and have 4x welcome freeroll tickets. These freerolls are only ever held on sunday afternoons but unfortunately I am always working sunday afternoons so will never be around to use them. I have already tried asking in live help if they can be exchanged as people in this thread seem to suggest but they couldnt help with this.

Are you able to convert these to a cash bonus if not then 4x 1euro sngs?

thanks

Just a heads-up, there's maintenance this evening/tomorrow morning from 0200 CEST to about 0530 CEST.

Also, we just dealt our biggest ever milestone hand:

Hey Andrew,
1. Can i receive my cashgame results spreadsheet for the period: February 1st 2016 till April 18th 2016.

2. There is more to banzai than people think, although 6 people sitting with 10bbs seems solved, but it only really happens... never. There is a lot interesting dynamic, when people run up a stack. You have to constantly adjust ranges and adjust for the crazies that come to the tables. It's a very interesting game, just hoping you would give it some love

Thanks in advance,

I hope the reason why posts like this aren't getting direct replies is that there are internal discussions going on about the problem of tickets (deposit bonus or pseudo-rb) tied to the particular player being able to play at fixed times of the week.

I've qualified for Double Trouble two weeks running now (sick brag) and I can't play 18:00 UK on a Tuesday.

@elliotuk - the problem is that your (and my) ticket has a face value of zero, so there isn't anything to convert it to - even though it represents equity in the tournament.

Has anything been decided about what twitch subscribers get? I only signed up because of the promised benefits and I'm about to be charged for the 5th time but its a bit of waste so will probably cancel unless somethings coming.

Yeh, plus it tends to favour good players.

Probably best to just do it over the first 100 - and do it on a points basis, so someone who has played 40 so far is encouraged to another 10 and move up the leaderboard. Not sure how it should work with different stake levels though - maybe there should be separate leaderboards - if so then 100 per leaderboard is too many.
I can't think of a way to make this kind of promo workable given our strategy.

Although I miss the software and how convenient it was to just sit down at 8 zoom tables with 0 waiting time, I don't miss much else about it. Certainly not since the Amaya takeover anyway.

I didn't even make a deposit at Unibet, just started with the free 14.5 euro NL4 ticket and am now easily rolled for NL200 lol. Not quite like the old days, but def like the direction with keeping the recs happy and aiming more bonuses towards them
Glad to hear you're enjoying the site. If you qualify for UO through Challenges, let me know, we can have a beer. Also, it's good PR if you played it up from an NL4 ticket!

If they expire while you weren't able to login, just let me know and I'll reinstate them.

I'm afraid that I can't reinstate tickets that have been partially played through, so I credited you with new ones of a similar value.

At the moment, no. This is part of the long term project though, as it's requested pretty frequently.

For example SNG Saturday every week, and just randomly add a prize to some SNG's. You could make it extra exiting by having a roulette wheel spin and select a price before the SNG for the added price. Like 0x the buyin to 100x the buy-in.

Not sure if I like the idea of multipliers, especially ones that favor regs. I mean if a reg plays 100 SGN's he'll be 20x as likely to hit a bonus SNG as a recreational player who plays just 5. You could even do a spin on the payouts, like the player who drops out first from the SNG will get the main price instead of the winner - so the winner and the rest of the players gets a much smaller price. This wouldn't even favor the regs as people would try to shovel in all the money with the worst hand if the price is big Although I'm not a SNG player these days, so I'm certainly not the best to suggest how recreational players should be rewarded there.
I agree that it'd work, it's simply that it'd need a lot of development work. A lot of the technical capability for milestones were in the client from before we launched, because it was one of the few promotions that we knew of at the time that worked and that didn't just favour the grinders.

The aim was to run them for hand 10m, but we had to push it back due to bug fixes etc after we launched.

If I could make one small change to the milestone multipliers it would be that you'd use an average of the stakes. Like say I'm playing 1x 200 tables, 3x100 tables and would now like to add 1x 50 table. The price for hitting the hand on the 50 table will be very low, so it might not be worth it to play. If the multiplier would be an average of all the table stakes and amount of hands I played it would always make sense to add a table. Mainly an issue though if you are joning in late, as its tough to get many tables fast.
This makes sense, I'll pass it on to the guy who is looking after milestones now.

Unibet has it right thinking long term by limiting table selection (the good part of Zoom) and not having the regs play a ridiculous amount of volume.

Fast has a couple of problems. The games play too tight, so they're less fun and win rates are very low. The games are also worse than regular 6-max when there aren't many players in the pool.

We have ways to get around both of these problems, but it requires quite a lot of development time, so it can't be a priority at the moment. I think that Fast works well on mobile and that's where a lot of poker play in the future is going to come from.

I'm afraid that I can't convert these tickets as they don't have any value asides as entry to this tournament. I'll see if we can maybe have some on other days of the week, it depends on popularity, spend, etc.

I prefer that we don't have a single timeslot though, that's one of the reasons why I'd like to have a second Double Trouble freeroll each week.

Yeh, I agree, it's a pretty fun idea. We don't make a ton from the game though, so it's tough to find the money to push it too much at the moment.

Ah, I'd written my earlier reply without seeing this one. The main problem is that 95% of our players are from very similar timezones. The current system works for most people.

But it's pretty hard to find 5% improvements to promos, and this is one of them. I'd like to make both of these things broader, but we need to be able to account for it.

Hm, I'm not sure there're promised benefits. Subscribers get Unibet poker emotes. We spend the sub money on Twitch promos. That's just how Twitch works.

Right then. As we've passed 15k posts, let's do a thread competition. Everyone who posts their alias in this thread over the next 24 hours will receive 4x €1 Banzai tickets tomorrow (Tue) at about 11am GMT.

Then everyone has 48 hours to play the tickets though, after which I'll award €20 to the players with the five highest value tickets. It's a bit different than normal, but this game is higher variance than normal.

Deadline for aliases is 11am Tue 19th
Deadline for playing ticket through is 11am Thu 21st

Then after I post the winner's aliases, they'll need to PM me or post here with the format in which they'd like their prize.

How about if things which are currently deemed "freerolls" have a some kind of a face value (perhaps hidden from the user), which would determine the prize pool in the tournament they are used in in a similar way to Sunday Entitled tickets determine the prize pool of the SE.

So as someone who works European evenings I would be playing the "other" Double Trouble with a few people in Canada and Colombia, probably starting at midnight CET - depending on entries it might give only 5x 40 euros, whereas the other 95x 40 euros would still be in the main one.

Please extend expiry to 100uk ticket which is due to expire today. No 100 tournament today showing although there is a last chance 10 & 25.
Also please convert 90se to 9 x 10. Many thanks pirahn

We wouldn't be allowed to do that for the new player freerolls, and in any case their equity value is low so there isn't anything to exchange them for.

I think the best way to do Double Trouble would be to have the second on a Saturday or Sunday evening CET. Then people who work weekday European nights can play then, so it should help both Canadians/South Americans as well as some percentage of our Europeans.

I didn't mean to exchange, just so that the promotional money follows the players to the particular tournaments that are most popular and everyone gets their fair share - but I suppose you have enough data to judge the prizes right anyway. A second Double Trouble at the weekend would be awesome.
