It will be today pending any issues with the leaderboards. Doesn't seem worth paying out the low LB on it's own on a Monday and then doing the Overall and High on a Tuesday after the Supernova concludes.

It means scrapping every single existing tournament (apart from Supernova and Supermoon). In some cases there'll be very similar but rebranded tournaments 

That's sad. Shooting star was my favorite. Is there any similar tournament now?

The €300 Shooting Star was a bounty tournaments with a €5 buyin. It had 2500 chips starting stack and 6 min level. 50% of buyin went to bounty and 25% was progressive.

The €2500 cage is somewhat similar with 3000 starting stack, 6 min levels, €10 buyin, 50% bounty and 50% progressive. 

The €1250 Brawl almost identical to above, except 5 min levels and €5 buyin.

The fee on Shooting Star was 10% and the fee on the above two tournaments are less than half of that!

If you want smaller fields and freezeout, there's the €400 freezeout turbo PKO for instance. I'd advise you to try and play around with the filters and explore the schedule yourself 🙂

I really like new tournaments offer. Still no ship on my name but reach few final tables.

Community freeroll was very nice. Prizes only for final table looks good 💪

I read somewhere that you have to use the ‘correct’ avatar name - what are the rules on this for the free roll?

As you might have heard through the grapevine already, we're about to hit the reset button on the MTT schedule! We've designed a new schedule from scratch, which we believe is more in-line with current demand and trends, and we'll be celebrating it with our biggest-ever MTT promotion with €100,000 up for grabs in leaderboard rewards! We'll of course also celebrate it with you guys on here, but before we dive into the community launch promotion, let's have a look at just how awesome the new schedule is 🙂  

• We've SIGNIFICANTLY increased the guarantees. Today, our biggest daily tournament has a guarantee of 4k. In the new schedule, we've got a daily 4k, a 5k, a 6k and a 10k! We'll adjust the guarantees in the coming months and I hope you'll help us make these grow even bigger.
• We've lowered the fees and are now offering the cheapest tournaments in the industry: today, you won't find daily tournaments with lower fee elsewhere (benchmarked against our main competitors daily schedule - see the details in the terms and conditions at the bottom). As an example, all our bounty tournaments now have just 4.5%-4.8% fee, while most competitors charge twice as much!
• Being a site targeted recreational players, we understand that you most likely need to get up early in the morning for your nine-to-five. We aim to have all our daily majors finish by 1am CET/CEST, so that you can still get a good nights sleep, even when you take down the biggest tournament of the night.
• More bounties and less addon. We have historically been one of the sites - if not the site - with the highest share of addon tournaments, and we know that some of you will not appreciate this change. However, addon is a flawed format which puts the recreational players at a further disadvantage, as it's unfortunately quite common for players not to realize the value in taking the addon. It's also a format which encourages players to max late reg, and generally speaking it just doesn't make for a nice tournament experience for the inexperienced player. Again, I know these downsides are actual positives to some of you, and we will continue to offer the format, it's just not one we'll push unknowing players into by highlighting the tournaments and making them the biggest ones we offer.

There're plenty of new tournaments I feel it's worth highlighting here, but it would make it a very long post, so I'll just pick a few and encourage you to go and explore the schedule yourself, when all the tournaments are in the client closer to the 24th! You'll already find a tease for the new schedule in the client.

• The Title Fight. A daily €10,000 guarantee PKO with €50 buyin
• The Ironman. A daily €2,500 guarantee deepstack with €10 buyin
• The Slobberknocker. A Thursday exclusive €7,500 guarantee bounty tournament with a €100 buyin
• Fight Club. A cousin of the Supernova, exclusively running on Sundays. It's got a €10,000 guarantee and €100 buyin.

We'd of course love to hear your thoughts on the new schedule, so don't be shy with the feedback in this thread! I would however encourage you to give the new schedule a shot first, before you give your feedback - change isn't always easy at first  🙂

 

Community Promotion

Weekly Freeroll

Every Monday at 20:00 we'll run an exclusive €1,000 community freeroll, for which you'll need a ticket to play. In order to receive the freeroll ticket, you'll need to fulfil both of the requirements below.

1. Posted on the community (both new thread and replies count), in the previous week
2. Played 5 or more MTT's with a buyin of at least €1, in the previous week. Only new tournaments count (meaning all Supernova, Supermoon and Unibet Live/Open qualifiers are excluded)

The winner of every freeroll will receive the exclusive avatar shown below - probably the best avatar ever made 😄 In order to get the community avatar you have to play with your community alias.

 

 

Terms and conditions

• Customers from Sweden, Belgium and Denmark can not take part in this promotion
• The promotion starts the 24th October 2022 and ends 5th December 2022
• Tickets will be credited weekly; every Monday before 17:00 CET. First tickets credited on the 31st of October.
• The weekly freeroll will have a prizepool of €1,000 (paid in tickets for the new schedule)
• Lowest fee details. A benchmark was done the 1st of October against Partypoker, Pokerstars, GG Poker and 888 Poker. We looked at all daily tournaments which had been running at least 30 times in the past. The fees were segmented based on tournament format (freezeout, addon, PKO etc.), tournament speed and buyin level and an average for each format, per site, was determined. We have lowered the fees on all of our tournaments to at least match the competitor with the lowest fee for every format, speed and buyin level combination. We are still running all nano tournaments completely rake free.
  • Satellites/Qualifiers, On-Demand and flip tournaments are not price matched
  • When segmenting by speed, we've used the following definitions:
    • “Hyper” is defined as a tournament with a blind level increase time of 3-4 minutes
    • “Turbo” is defined as a tournament with a blind level increase time of 5-6 minutes
    • “Regular” is defined as a tournament with a blind level increase of 7 or more minutes
• We reserve the right to change the promotion at any time
• General Unibet terms and conditions apply

Brilliant this!  I can take part and have a chance in a  leaderboard type competition without having to be a multi table pro grinder as with other sites .

The majors are great, the regular not so much...

Finished 2nd of 118 in the Ice Age yesterday, but my place is still outside the top 100. Leaderboards are on a weekly basis or I'm wrong? I played just 5 of them this week and if the formula points are so hard to gain maybe it's not worth it to aim for the added prizes, at least for me.

@GothMoth well done with the  place!

As there's no requirement for finishing top x% to get points and top x best results count, you can't really say anything about your position after 5 tournaments. Players that played 10 tournaments - even if they didn't do very well - will still be above you in the low leaderboard (10 best results during the week count for low leaderboard).

A quick example:

• Player a plays 10 low tournaments with 200 players. He finishes number 100 in all of them. This gives him 21 + 10 points = 31 in total.
• Play b plays 5 low tournament with 200 players. He finishes 2nd in one and 100th in the remaining 4. This gives him 15 + 8.4 + 5 = 28 in total. If he plays another 5 and finishes 100, he'd have a total of 28.4 + 10.5 + 5 = 44 in total

-------

The number of points you receive is determined by our fair for all formula that considers the buy-in, the number of players and your position. Everything is calculated and added automatically as per below.

You get:

• One leaderboard point for every Low or High tournament played.

1,5*SQRT(n)/SQRT(k)*b

Where k=Position, n=number of players, b=Fixed buy-in (low=1, high=5).

Example – Finishing in 1st place in a a LOW MTT with 200 total players.

1.5*SQRT(200)/SQRT(1)*1 = 21.

• Points from Low and High are considered for the Overall leaderboard.

• Only your 8 best results of the week (highest number of points per tournament) will count towards the High leaderboard, only your 10 best results will count towards the Low leaderboard and only your best 20 results will count towards the Overall leaderboard.

Thanks, they seem exciting but unfortunately they run too late for me.

@Stubbe-Unibet thank you very much for the detailed info 🙂 Now everything makes sense...

It's actually a good thing(for the more serious players), giving you incentive to play as many majors during the week

[haselnut]

How long can/will you keep up with the new GTDs as it seems to me, that most of the time the tourneys do not reach the necessary players?

i feel like we're on the right track as each day we re getting closer to reaching the guarantees. i think its a matter of weeks till we'll reach them.

It's actually not that different to the old setup, in that regard. This is just a simpler way of doing it and players don't have to get the calculator out to determine which position they need to finish, in order to get points 🙂

We are willing to have cost for a while longer, but we (or rather Andy) are making small adjustments all the time. The fofty was reduced from 6k to 5k several days ago, as we were just too optimistic with that one and even with 5k gtd it's still been having overlay almost every day. 

But it is indeed starting to look a bit better and as long as the trend is 📈, I don't think we'll make any significant changes. Might even increase some guarantees and/or add a few more tournaments.

When the 10 weeks of leaderboards are over, it's of course possible that bigger adjustments will have to be made. Hopefully, the new schedule - partly thanks to overlay and leaderboards - will attract enough new players to exceed the guarantees within a couple of weeks and then we can keep current guarantees even after promo is over. That's the dream at least 😄 

So, spread the word guys and you'll have more long-term value! 😉

I played few times at earlier hours and was happy to see some tournaments with 30ish players in them and I feel that tournaments help other formats like sng/cash/hexapro/banzai etc too because they usually take longer to finish and when ur playing one and not doing something else on the side like watching a movie or sports or something, and I usually get into opening other tables of all formats just to play. I applaud you for upgrading them and choosing to add some of them at early hours and that you lowered rake in this format because It surely is the format where u want biggest fields on as they help all other.

I completely agree with this take. Good job guys.
