^^^^
I recall back in my university days being chastised by a group a women for saying the word "ladies." I'm sure it's even worse now and that word is even more scorned by deranged SJW-types.

Good luck to all females (whether by birth or identification) who enter and please take your winnings to a SNG table. Thanks.

^ well if you insist on continuing to de-rail you will continue to be challenged.
It's interesting that your complaint is that people are too easily offended yet you take as much offense at being pulled up on your language. Perhaps you could ask why people object to certain language being used. Context is everything - in one situation saying "ladies" could come across as patronising, somewhat infantilsing, in another it would be completely fine. Also referring to people as 'deranged SJW' for raising concerns is unhelpful. They may not be as articulate as you would like or present arguments in a balanced way but that doesn't mean they have nothing to say worth listening to.

Is it me or did something go wrong with the nano prize pool in today's bounty tournament?

The 100 euro E69 UOS Bounty Nano with 424 players has 0 regular prize pool and the bounty prize pool is just 106 euro(which is normal with 0.25 cents/ bounty *half the buy-in)... weird error :/

I enjoy mocking your type. It amuses me, but I accept and support your right to take umbrage.

Raising ridiculous concerns is never helpful, unless it is to give others an opportunity to ridicule them; which, as noted, I will not refrain from doing as a free person in a free Society.

Best of luck at the tables.

Pretty sure this has been asked before, but I can't find neither the question nor an answer, so:

Can tickets be used for Rebuys/Addons?

I'm thinking about playing some satellites for the Main Events, but playing those would be too expensive if I had to pay for those out of my own pocket and not being able to get those would give me a huge disadvantage over the field.

Would be great if Unibet introduced a Re-Entry option in the future, so you are less reliant on Rebuy formats to reach the GTD.

Even if a rec has no clue why somebody does it, I'm sure they will be put off by what is very easy to spot systematic behavior and brings a botty feel to the games. I think the 50bb initial minimum buy in is fine, but please make it so that you have to bring back your old stack, when you get seated at a table that you have been in within the past 30 minutes, if not longer. It's just one of those matters which doesn't even warrant a differing opinion from an objective viewpoint (imo )
Just drop that nonsense about recs, do you think it's more welcoming for rec to join table with min buy in just to see someone sitting there with 1500 bb's?
I get that it may not be pleasant to see someone run away with 100 bb's, but imo it's just optics and no one actually feels cheated/scammed by that.

If people don't like short stackers then make every game 100 bb buy in, not make some silly system which might cripple gaming experience for both recs and regs when running hot at one table, running bad at others and unable to spread the buyins across all tables.

Yes, you can use tickets for R/A.

Some existing daily MTTs have re-entry instead of R/A (The Titan at 8pm UK time is the first I can think of) but I think all the sats now are Freezeout or R/A.

Personally I think re-entry is much better for the sats rather than R/A.

It is working as intended. You need to be all in and someone needs to call you.

Oops didn't see that you had been all in with calls.

^ Maybe the other person has to cover you IDK.

I completed it without trouble. I'd say keep plugging away at it and it should work. Otherwise post a hand number for them to look at.

EDIT: one other thing that occurs to me - does it matter if you do Banzai HE or Omaha? I completed it in Banzai Holdem fwiw.

Also in Mission part 3 "complete a deepstack tournament" - apparently the series main events don't count as deep enough. Small print says it has to have "deep" in the name but I don't see many tournaments which meet that criteria.

Generally IMHO the missions should be stuff you can log on almost any time and just do rather than have to scour the MTT schedule for the few tournaments that meet the criteria.

Miscalculated that. Day 1 finished at 0.30 CET, two off the bubble for a dramatic cliff-hanger.

Well in that case I'll offer you my 1 time gl for tomorrow.

Disclaimer- I'm off to Florida tomorrow so I can't play, hence the sole reason for my run good being transferred to you.

Hi David/Leo,

As the first edition of the Unibet Online Series is coming to an end, I think it is time for some feedback. I really enjoyed the first Unibet Online Series (although I busted with KK 4 of the money in the 100 euro main event, which still is a bit painful), but of course there are also some things that possibly could improve. I will go with SleazyP84/moreTBC's way of giving feedback in this thread http://www.unibetcommunity.com/t5/Ge...ad/td-p/139457

I will skip the good part of the series, since I think moreTBC points them out very well already.

Bad points from current series:
- The worst point for me was the broken lobby almost all the evenings. The only thing that showed the right info was the small info box on the table, but when you went to the lobby of a tournament, it was more often than not showing wrong or long delayed info. Probably a server issue (too much traffic?), but it needs to be fixed really soon!
- I focused on the Low and Nano leaderboard, and something that stand out for me was the huge difference in buyin for tournaments in the low leaderboard. I think the difference between a 2 euro freezout and a 10 euro R/A is to big. I would suggest having the highest buyin in the low leaderboard being a 10 euro freezout, and then make the Low main event a 10 euro R/A, instead of a 25 euro R/A. I think this would be more balanced and better for the players.
- I would really like the late reg to last less levels in the R/A tournaments. I think buyin in for 8bb or keep having to rebuy is not that good of a thing. Especially considering the big difference in buyin as described above, players will end up paying a relatively really big amount of money for some tournaments compared to other tournaments in the same leaderboard.
- On the first sunday of the series I played a Nano event that lasted till 5am CET. I couldn't play it out, although I was huge chipleader on the final table, because I had to go to work next day. Very frustrating, but probably a consequence of the great success the series was and it got way more entrants than expected?

Suggestions for next series:
- Make the first sunday of the series also 2-day events. I think it is really cool to have a 2-day event and it stops tournaments from running till early morning, while still having a good structure. (Maybe having a regular 2-day event in the normal tournament schedule is a good idea as well?)
- Somewhere (possibly on the community) release some kind of tool where you could easily calculate the points you will get with finishing on place x in a tournament with x entrants and x buyin. The formula on the promo page is really complicated. I am still in the rebuy low for tonight, but have no idea which place will get me what amount of points. A simple tool could do the trick, as I already know amount of entrants and buyin.
- As said before, maybe some kind of winners freeroll for all event winners ( I think preferably on the next sunday after the series end)
- Leave the promo page on the general promotions page a bit longer. It is already removed now (although the page still existing) while the tournaments still have to be played out.
- Close late reg earlier in R/A events. It also seems that there were only freezout or R/A tournaments, is there any reason to not have re-entry tournaments, without an addon? Also some more differentiation in formats would be cool.
- I have said this as well before, but I think these kind of events could/should be streamed on the UnibetPoker twitch channel as well. This is the biggest channel (don't know if it has the most active users though), but I think it is cool to have some other content on there outside Unibet Opens as well. I think it is important to keep growing that channel as well. What if an amabssador stops working for Unibet and you hire a new one? Than he/she has to start growing a twitch channel from 0 again. The UnibetPoker twitch channel is the only channel that you know you can keep growing over time, because you own it.

@SleazyP84/MoreTBC sorry for copying some of your suggestions, but I think you mentioned some fairly good ones!

If someone wants to pass this on to Leo or copy/paste it in the feedback thread, it would be appreciated.

Also, @Hatebreedd the best of luck tonight!

Other question: will there be more (different) MTT promo's during the year or will 4x UOS be all for MTT's?

Thanks Unibet, it was great series and leaderboard prizes will make sure I make a small profit.

But one negative thing is almost 4 hour latereg, when you have 50 players jumping in in the last minute just to get points on the leaderboard it takes away some of the fun. 2 hours would have been more than enough.

Completely agree with this. Another reason to shorten late registration a bit.

I would hazard a guess that the long late reg was to try and make sure what looked like ambitious GTDs pre series were going to be hit.

Going forward there will be lots of lovely data from the 1st UOS to help balance the GTDs and late reg a little better.

The next debate would be would when you like registration to close? 20bb stack? 10bb? Different options for FO and R/A? Should There be a standard close time for all MTTs of the same type. e.g. FO's all end late reg on the level you can buy in with 20bb.

Overall nice series, though my previous feedback is still valid. Overall series itself is 99+% perfect.

And although I love rebuys (also PLO rebuy would be great idea), having 100+r event as series main event has problems. Mainly it's just super expensive compared to other events. Satellites don't help much, because you still have to pay for rebuys / add-on.

Keep lots of rebuys, and make that next time either 50+r or 100 with many re-entries or 200 with 1 re-entry. Last 2 would make it more reasonable to satellite to it as well while still keeping chance to keep large guaranteed.

E: There's still an old bug: Main Event was supposed to have rebuy period to run until end of level 14. It however closed prematurely at 22:55 at the beginning of scheduled break, when level 14 still had like 6 minutes left. I think this has happened before too.

This caused me, and i'm sure a lot of other people, to rebuy where they otherwise wouldn't have, assuming it was the scheduled add-on break.

Hello David

This is a little bit late but I wanted to say that I really liked last month's Queen of Flips promotion, especially the fact that hu sngs were included. I also liked that there is a choice element, that you can claim a small prize or keep gambling.
It is my favourite promotion so far. I hope it makes a return soon and please make sure to include hu sngs again.
