VikingsAF Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi guys,I don't know why this tourney isn't more talked about, but just noticed the half a billion promo. Whats it about?For what I know it ends in a 50k GTD tourney (june 4th) with 100 euro buy in. For now I found 3 satellites (2 freeroll flips with 1 ticket and one 4 euro tourney with 20 tickets ADDED to the first 20 players).I supose these are going to be held weekly?Can anyone from the poker/unibet team give some extra info? @Robin-Unibet, @DavidP_Unibet, @testuser1, @JeppeL or @MarcoV I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant...

Tillus Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 thx for pointing this out @VikingsAF 👍5K starting unl. rebuys for 130mins and a 10K addon.. this is going to be an expensive one :scared:As fee is on the higher side at high-buyins with 11.11%, I wonder how the unibet policy is on rebuys/addons. Do those include juice as well?!still excited tho, this could be huge :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillus Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 okay apparently it's also 10€ fee for rebuys and addon, thats crazy for a 90€ buyin imho :/ah yeah and it seems to be rather a one-time thing because of the 500.000.000th hand celebration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsAF Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm nowhere close to afford this tourney with my bankroll :pBut I will ofcourse try to get some final tickets :p (So for me the fee is nothing that I should worry about) I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant...

VikingsAF Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Btw @Tillus I don't think the GTD will be reached ;) so don't know if the fee will matter :) (except when they will keep giving away the tickets at this speed... 36 freeroll flips + 5*20 in the 2k added, and maybe there will come even more) I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant...

BillyR23 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 @VikingsAF from the informations in the lobby I'm pretty sure this tournament isn't exclusive for "ticket only", so players with a great bankroll won't need to play in the satellites and just buy-in directly... For sure I'll try my luck in the flips freerolls and the 4 euro satellites(2k added is an impressive value, thx Unibet ❤️ ), my question is: if we'll have more than one 50k GTD tickets will we be able to rebuy or add-on chips with this tickets?GL everyone and hopefully many community members will be able to participate in this awesome milestone tournament :) You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind...

VikingsAF Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 @BillyR23 yes you will be able to rebuy with tickets :) But I mean. I know people with the big bankroll can direct buy in, but still... It needs over 500 direct buy-ins/rebuys to reach the gtd ;) I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant...

FeelsBadMan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Isn't the timing of this 50k GTD 100€ R/A tournament a bit bad on the 4'th of June, since it clashes with UK Tour Glasgow? Players that could afford playing might end up not playing it, and players that win a ticket but are traveling for the tournament won't be able to play their tickets. @Robin-Unibet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynona Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 @Robin-Unibet @FeelsBadManI'm in this exact case: i bubbled the tournament to win tickets but i guess my luck was back for the flip because i just won a ticket tonight :)I'm going to Glasgow in june and i really would like to play this tournament but 'ill be busy with UK tour :(Is there any way to put this tournament a week before or after ?

FeelsBadMan Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 @Mynona I got an answer about it and it's because there are no good dates to put it on. A week before it's the Unibet Open which would be even worse timing. Maybe the mods can assist with converting the ticket to something else if you're at the UK tour and can't play. Personally I'll see if I can get some good internet there and might skip the live community event if they overlap. If I don't go deep in the main :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsAF Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Or you donate it to someone who can play O:) for some % of the moneyHahaha nono, just try to exchange it.

Robin-Unibet Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi community members, We really wanted to do something reaching the Half Billionth Hand milestone and of course we all want to see a big GTD tournament on Unibet! It's busy times with Unibet Open Copenhagen and the Unibet UK Tour the week after. Initially we planned to run the Half Billionth tournament on the 4th, but after considering your feedback we postponed it tot the 11th June. It would be nice if anyone ,that like to play, don't see a conflict with our live events and at the same time this gives us some more time to promote. Hope you all like the idea and will be able to enjoy a shot in this one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynona Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 @Robin-Unibet This is great news :) i'm really happy its postponed so that i can play both the uk tour and this tournament :)Its not often i win an entry for a 100€ tourney !! now, i "only" have to make itm :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillus Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 @Mynona reaching itm should be easier than winning a flip mtt with a gazillion runners, so you're good to go. Although you're obv in at a disadavantage if you plan to not use add-on if you reach that stage, with extra 2xstarting stack for the same moniez. So you might just flip your way to a 2nd ticket - ez game 😉@Robin-Unibet is it correct that fee of the tourney is gonna be 11.11% on buyin/re-entries/Addons as opposed to 6.38% in the €4-rebuys?

FreedoM Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 No satellites for this MTT ??? @Robin-Unibet @testuser1 @MarcoV @JeppeL @ReCorpH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boliver88 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi Robin, One short question please. The Half Billionth tournament postponed it to the 11th June but the ticket expiration date is 4 June. Is that no problem? Thanks alot for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeppeL Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 @FreedoM There is the daily flip freeroll running until June 3rd where there's one ticket given away each day, then from late May there'll be added qualifiers along with a proper promotion page on the site, so should be plenty of chances to qualify :)@boliver88 I'm sure the ticket will be extended automatically, or we'll add a new one for you :) Former Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynona Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 @JeppeLsame here as Freedom, my ticket expires before the new date of the tournament. I'll check it out when i come back from Glasgow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeppeL Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 No problem @Mynona, if it doesn't happen, then just let us know here and Marco or myself will add a new one :) Former Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja-z-Polszy Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 @JeppeL im little confused ...i found that info in this thread:"For what I know it ends in a 50k GTD tourney (june 4th) with 100 euro buy in. For now I found 3 satellites (2 freeroll flips with 1 ticket and one 4 euro tourney with 20 tickets ADDED to the first 20 players)."I dont see any satelites in lobby now, no flips, no 4€ with added tickets.

sgriff Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Got an e-mail today with details. Sounds good. However, there are no details of when the package is for so at this stage I don't know if I would be able to go even if I fluke a win. I assume it's for the WSOP. Does anyone have any more details?

VikingsAF Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 @sgriff what do you mean? It's just a cash tourney? I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant...

AlexandruDobrin Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I am disappointed at how you guys worked out these qualifying methods for 50k GTD. Imo those freerolls for the 50k GTD should have not existed. I bet there will be players who would join for the lolz and never play the 50k GTD I am 100% sure of that. Some 1 euro flips would have been much more appreciated instead of freerolls. Or Sattelites starting from 1 euros not from 4.40 . I love the idea of this forum , it is very active , why don't we have an opinion to say in this? 😞 Poker's a day to learn and a lifetime to master. ~Robert Williamson III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
