Caught up to yesterday.
There's definitely some merit to this. I picked the 1m mark essentially because it was a round number with a big gap to the next level. There's no reason why it couldn't be the 500k mark.
But we can't set it at 10k because the lower level of Challenges is so valuable. If we set the mark too low, we massively increase the cost of Challenges, which we'd have to cover elsewhere in the payouts.
Maybe this is a reasonable way of doing things for Q4, I'll see what it'd cost.
I think that because the lower end is so valuable, we could make it so that the lower end players do the best from this.
I know this isn't quite what you're saying, but maybe we could cap the amount that rolls over?
I believe this was a mistake in paying an affiliate thing out, should be fixed now. We do our collusion/etc refunds in one big lump (our systems for this suck so we can't do them efficiently if we go for one by one), the next is likely to be next Friday.
At the moment we refund all of the damage done, rather than all of the money seized. The former should work out as a lot more than the latter.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm afraid that this kind of account question is handled site-wide rather than specifically with poker, so I don't know much about it. I know of a couple other people in this situation and it works, but I don't know what they had to do to get there. If you contact regular support they should be able to help.
If your account currency is GBP, it'll convert when you buy in to tables, then re-convert when you leave. It uses that day's spot rate to make the conversion, so we don't charge anything/make any money from it.
There isn't a first deposit bonus, it's just a welcome bonus. If you check the software out and don't play to start with, let me know when you start and I can extend it/credit a new one.
It's fine to run these programs while playing on other sites. PT4 doesn't support us, and we don't have hand histories that can be exported, so it's not a problem.
Thanks, we've reported it to the Fraud department to investigate.
Hm, not sure, I'll see if the developers can suggest anything. You should be able to get a refund of the ticket if you contact support meanwhile.
Yeh, this happens a fair amount.
Yeh, any report is reason enough to look into it.
Normally I'd be able to see if we had any widespread problems at the time, but the guy I'd ask is on holiday until Monday. But when it happens and it's widespread, we'll get lots of posts about it, so it was probably only a 30s thing.
Sorry about that, if you have any refund requests please contact regular support.
Thanks, I passed this on to the guy who is looking after Challenges. We're discussing this internally at the moment.
I'd like to make it so that you can change the flop counter to show different kinds of things.
Thanks, I'll pass both on. While both bugs are related to Adobe Air as far as I know, we can fix the first but I'm less confident on the latter at the moment. I'll see what the developers say.
Well, thanks for sending me the feedback. I'm not allowed to play properly on the site, so I need player feedback in order to prioritise what we do next.
Sure, what's your alias?
Do you still have this? We had some problems with being stuck on the loading screen a couple of years ago, I seem to recall that clearing IE cache helped.
Sorry, this kind of account stuff is site-wide, so you'd be better off talking to regular support.
We don't record hours per se, just hands/winnings/rake by stake by date. If you contact support they should be able to provide this over whatever date range you prefer.
All done.
Someone mentioned earlier about points in between levels not being worth anything if the quarter comes to an end and I think there's some merit to this.
For example if there's a week to go before the quarter is up and a player has 500k points he's in a tough spot. He can't really realistically earn 100k points in a week and yet if he tries and fails he gets nothing except for partial points on the specific challenges he's working on.
Unibet gives players the points for the next quarter if they're over a million and I think the same should apply for anyone earning more than 100k. I get that Unibet may not like the idea of giving someone 10k points to start the next quarter as they'd get tickets without any play but realistically a player that puts forth the effort in the prior quarter isn't likely to walk away from the site. 100k in points shows that he's committed to the site and I hope that Unibet considers reciprocating that loyalty by trusting that he will continue to stay loyal.
Being stuck in between loyalty tiers shouldn't be a punishment to the player.

What if I play NL4 5 days a week for a quarter and maybe earn 55K points for example.. why would I not be awarded some points at the start of the next quarter?
The point I'm making is something like that only rewards high volume/high buy-in players, not the recs. It creates a situation where Unibet then have to payout more rewards to the top level players which takes away from the bottom.

You could have the points earned on the tier your on when the quarter ends be carried over (so 5K in the NL4 example, 20K in the 500K one) for all players as a possibility? Do you then cap it at only players that have played all three months? That angers any player that joins in month two.
Did anyone ese who plays a lot of PLO10 suddenly get money on his/her account?
I got 614 euro which is a lot for this level even though I play many hours and many tables evry day, just wondering whether cheaters have been caught.
CS did not find the answer yet, they are looking into it
Would like to know if others got money as well.

Once you reach 60k points in a quarter (that's the first bonus payout) you will be credited with a 10euro bonus. That clears as you pay rake. I believe it clears at 25% which means in this instance for each 8 euros you pay in rake 2 euros will be credited to your account. Repeat this process 5 times and you'll get the full 10euros.
Alternatively a lot of people on here convert SNG tickets/Cash game tickets into a playthrough bonus and it will clear into cash once you play more poker.
Best of luck on the site and welcome to the forum.

I'm thinking of giving Unibet a try but have a few questions first if you'd be so kind.
1. I'm a UK resident/citizen but am currently in Thailand for the next few months. Can I create an account and play from here? All my address/banking details are in the UK but my ip address would be saying something different at the point of sign up.

4. I see that pretty much any third party software is a big no no (which is part of the appeal for me). However, are there any issues with Unibet if I'm running Poker Tracker 4 whilst playing on other sites at the same time? I do realise that hand histories can't be saved so PT4 is kind of redundant here, but I wouldn't want to fall foul of your T's and C's.
Are there any known compatability issues with the client when ran on a kindle fire hd? I've used it for a while with no problem but the past few weeks the table freezes a lot and I'm forced to turn the kindle off and on then log back in to get it going again.
Tonight has been the worst of the lot. I was playing a UK1 using one of my tickets but every time it froze I would turn the kindle off and on then log back in and the table would freeze again forcing me to go through the routine again. After numerous log ins I finally came back with 1bb, lost and completely wasted a ticket.

1) I agree with earlier comments about challenges not being fun because of high variance. Some months ago I used to be 'obsessed' with tracking my challenge progress for the /20, /50, /100 challenges. I played longer and more sessions just to complete them. Now there seem to be a lot more high variance /1, /2 and /5 challenges. With my low volume, it happens a lot that I have an entire week without even hitting one occurence on one of my challenges. I just don't check them anymore now and don't set any challenge points goal for myself anymore, because I feel like I have no control over it anymore. I think a lot of low volume players will have the same feeling. I would love to have an option to choose between high or low variance challenges (with the same average expected value ofcourse). You could default it to whatever you think your target population like most, but it would be nice if calculation nerds like me have an option to choose the low variance route.
3) Concerning the dissapearing players bug: I haven't read every post in this topic so it probably was mentioned before, but just to be sure: it always happens when a new player joins the table. The new player appears and at the exact same time a player in the hand disappears.
4) Sometimes when I close the client, my computer freezes and I have to do a hard reset. It happens about 1 in 20 times. I have an HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 sp1. Not sure if it has anything to do with your client or if it's just my aged laptop acting up, but I only have it when closing the unibet client.

Can you convert 10 of my 1euro tickets into a 10euro PLO cash playthrough bonus? (id: 14nd3r)

Do you want:-
A a 10e PLO cash ticket or
B a 10e playthrough bonus(the bonus unlocks on rake paid the game doesnt matter)
Tnks, didn't realise this. I prefer option B.
Hi Andrew
Thanks for responding to my questions about signing up above. Much appreciated.
Just to echo a point that someone else made earlier in this thread though is that I also think it might be a good idea to have all these requests for ticket swaps/extensions in a separate thread. As a non Unibet player looking find out more about the site there is an awful lot of pages to sift through to find the more pertinent info.
Just a thought fwiw but thanks again for your help

Caught up to the current page.
Thanks, what're your computer specs?
The average number of hands is the same as always, I think it's the lack of agency that is the problem.
Yes, exactly. I was going to suggest a €1 playthrough bonus. Almost every cash game ticket in the system is 100bb.
Done for the first, but I'm afraid I can't for the latter. I don't exchange tickets from one satellite system into any other.
Similar to the above - done for the second, but not the other two.
You don't need to do anything to get the payment here though, and I think that's a big difference. Loyalty spend is much higher than it is for a coffee shop, and I don't want to spend money without an upside. We run our loyalty scheme under pretty different principles to other sites, which means it isn't going to be perfect yet.
Thanks. There's also the problem that's come up a couple of times lately - there's no such thing as "cash bonus". There're playthrough bonuses. You and I may think of them as the same thing, but someone outside poker won't, and there're some people posting in this thread who didn't understand it either.
Well ideally we wouldn't have had to debit the money via not making the mistake
Sure, what's your alias?
But this is the problem - there're €10 PL10 tickets, and there're playthrough bonuses, and these are different things. I'd assume from this comment that you want the former, but if someone doesn't know poker then they're going to be totally lost. I think that's what's happening with support sometimes.
Cash
But yes, done.
Sorry, you'd have to talk to PokerVIP. I don't have anything to do with affiliates, which is probably just as well for anyone in these races because I'd just ban the races. One day it'll be worth spending the political capital to try to do it, but it's just too difficult at the moment.
All done.
I just want to echo these two points in particular. I too used to check my challenges obsessively, and it often caused me to play more hands than normal. I think the opposite is the case at the moment. Some of the challenges just simply take too long to clear for low volume players.
I don't think they exist but you could just ask for six 4 euro ones. You could use the spare 1 euro for an MTT ticket or SNG ticket (SNG is only holdem, but the advantage is you can play a HU and either double or bust it in a short period whereas Omaha MTTs exist but take more time away from the cash tables).
I don't understand the mentality that if you're not always earning something you shouldn't play. I think in my mind or a recs mind (where Unibets focus is) the VIP program is not the reason they log in every day. I don't go to a coffee place on Friday with a loyalty card with 7 out of 10 stamps for the week and say "I'm not drinking coffee today because I'm not going to get my 10th one free", and I think the same applies here. You pay for a service and you get one. If the service provider gives you something back you should be grateful. They are under no obligations to do it though.

Short post as it appears the site just went down. We're investigating.
Done, but I'm afraid I don't convert the satellite tickets to other types.
Clearly you don't live in London
All done.
Right, back again.
I didn't notice any drop on the web client in the last 10-15 minutes if that helps.
Indeed. Stella in a Wetherspoons up here is about £3. Guest ales are like £1.79 to just a bit over £2. I tend to drink Double Whiskey/Brandy & Coke anyway, which is like £4.xx each, I know I paid £9.90 each for a double JD & Coke last time I drank in London 2-3 years ago.
Still doomswitched at 1/2NL btw:
Fix pls ! Dunno how I'm even breaking even, I must be about 10 buyins below EV at 1/2 in ~20k hands -___-!

I mean both of those pieces of information in one place, like in your profile somewhere. It would say "You are on Day w of x, you have seen y PLO flops and z NLE flops." Once you complete a day it would tell you.
Also, when you receive a ticket for the promo there is no notification of why you got it and you don't get one for completing the last day. The same could be said for all rewards though, they just appear and you sometimes don't know why.

Support should be able to tell you how many times you've seen x flops at y stake over what date range. You may have to hold their hand a little about what you want to see though. They have the reports, but they probably don't know much about how the promo works.
Yeah, a cap or % of points earned would be fair. With the % you can scale it so that if you've earned 550K for example you would get 25% of the unused points (12500) the next quarter but if you earn 55K you get 10% (500).
I don't know the math to make it work well but you get the idea

Hi Andrew.
Some suggestions:
I think nobody needs button sit out next hand while playing sng's. I ts good idea to remove thing.
Sometimes Unibet has some technical problems and we have to restart the client so it will be nice to make something after restart that will be sit in back automatically after disconnection that i dont have to click on every table that i am back. Maybe one button for all tables?
Third thing is to make login up for the client automatically that i dont have to write every time my login and password. Maybe just password?
By the way this version of client on sngs works perfectly. Played not many cash hands and had also the same strange dissapearing cards/players situations

When playing UK sats I have noticed that unfair lobsided tables are happening alot, you will have 9 players left but spread across two table with one table having 7 players whilst another table having 2 players. It puts the two players on the smaller table a a massive disadvantage in the Satellite as they are paying blinds every hand whilst other players on bigger table are not.
Is this just a software issue or is it standard for the site ?
Also when I have been on the 2 handed table I have not been able to see oponent for the 1st hand, I can see my cards and the board but all I can see is his bet. I cant even see his name.

Playing an MTT, I got the message "Tables are being balanced, you are being moved to a new table". I think there were 21 players still in the tourney at this point (late reg was still available, so I'm not sure). The first hand on the "rebalanced" table looked like this:
After I folded, normality was restored...
...so I think the tables were rebalanced correctly, it's just that not all the avatars appeared on the first hand. [EDIT: Or maybe not. I've just noticed that Santa Claus had the button two hands running.]
(I forgot to check the hand history to confirm if everyone was invisibly sitting in on the first of these two hands, but the devs can check the hand # if they need to).
An additional issue (presumably related to Adobe Air) was that the tourney lobby stopped updating, so I eventually had to log out and back in again to find out how many players were still in the tourney.
I don't know the precise specs of my PC, but it's old and runs Windoze 7, but it usually handles up to 6 tables without issue. I think I only had 2 tables running at the time of the "bug".
I was in Spain for a liveament and was hanging out with some Scottish guys and when I ordered a Carlsberg at the bar they looked at me as if I was on crack. In Canada the Carlsberg version is actually a pretty good beer but the euro version of it is just crap.
If you choose a nationality when logging in, the client will remember your username. It's a security risk to also have it save your password.
Hi Andrew,
You made a typo in the bonus, i got a 1 Bonus instead of a 10 Bonus.
Can you fix it please
