We vary it so that we can measure what's happening. It hasn't changed in the last couple of weeks though (has it?). Not since we went from 24 daily to 12 daily.
We also vary it a bit because of milestones - this will sound cynical, but the reason we doubled the number of freerolls a couple of months ago was that we wanted to start Milestones in December. Our timing was off by a bit, but so it goes. We weren't really expecting to be doing this well yet.
I think that freerolls can be a very valuable way to interest people in poker and to demonstrate our client to new players - I think we're pretty close to having the best software on the market, and I want people to see it.
But if you do too many freerolls, that's all that people do, and we make no money. If we run more freerolls then fewer people play €1 MTT or NL4 or whatever.
