[WPT Global] Official Thread - Page 36 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Any money saved (if any - it's not completely clear yet) is going to reallocated into promos, with the goal to mostly reward players who make positive contributions such as starting tables. The first phase was the Table Starter scheme, which we recently increased from 20% rakeback to 40% rakeback. There is more planned, and some of the budget might be used to incentivise affiliates differently, yes.

Honestly, I can't answer that because the decisions about rake for CNY tables are taken at the network level and we weren't involved in this particular decision. As we get larger, we're getting more influence into those network-level decisions, but sometimes things happen that we don't have control over.

Table starter rakeback applies to players who start new cash game tables, we don't have a similar system for MTTs, but there will be a lot of promos around MTTs - particularly for Fall Festival and the upcoming WPT World Championship, before the end of the year.

OMG so you want to incentivize the affiliates instead of the players now???? Thats not the way to go...

More details on the Global Spins x Fall Festival promo

Any chance we can get an intermediate step between 50 # of spins and 1000 # of spins for the $100 spin buyin, seems it was missed?? I created the blue column. Can we have something like that, and allow customers to claim only ONE of the top $100 spin prizes. Or if you guys are feeling really generous, both? Alex? Apart from that little tweak, promo is awesome.

Here is the Fall Festival schedule in a googlesheet, for those that find it easier to read

One change that we made yesterday was for PKOs, which now for the most part will have pretty much the same payout prize for 1st and 2nd (so HU will be mainly for the progressive part of the bounty vs a huge HU battle like previously)

Along with the Global Spins cross-sell mentioned in my previous post, here are details about cross-sell for our sportsbook

Whereas 600 is possible for a lot of people, but they'll still fall short trying. We don't want to stop people from trying.

Tables HU or 3max is rake paid preflop?

Rake isn't paid preflop but if the pot gets large enough (over 20BB), the high hand jackpot contribution can be taken even if the hand ends preflop.

Alex,

You haven't said anything regarding the situation with chinese accounts that are able to play with 3 different name/accounts at the same time?

Hi,

Whenever I get stacked and buy in again I have to re-post BB. Am I just too slow rejoining the table, or is there some way I can auto rebuy?

no it's just a **** software that never get's any bug fixed.

You either pre-reload (and get deeper if you lose the hand) or re-post your BB

Unfortunately, the very idea of creating a poker room as an add-on to a Chinese mobile app was doomed from the start. Just imagine the chain of actions required to fix this bug. The Excel sheets alone for the launch promotion were something else

Plus, the industry leaders have long proven that software should not be outsourced, especially through several intermediaries
