You clearly are confused as to how rake works, the more tables there are, the more rake they collect. If they reduce the tables then they collect less rake.

Also do you think they have a fetish for issuing refunds around the clock for half a week and losing tens of thoudands of $? These issues affect them far more than it affects you and your 4nl tables. They want it fixed more than anyone. You being a ❤️♥️❤️ doesn't help anyone.

oh boy I'm so disappointed ... 

from the first post looked like there are a lot of spring rolls around here, but bamboozle, just freerolls :waterfall:

you can convert it into 2€ cash and some microstakes happiness for other people by joining a 4NL table with 4€ and going allin every hand, the 2€ left over or maybe 1.99€ will be released the moment you lose since it's below the 50BB minimum that you need to buyin to a cash table

I thought it was a password protected tournament when I saw it in the lobby, probably part of the reason it didn't start, also 0€ GTD's almost never work unfortunately

But I agree with @Livertool that there's a lack of normal freezouts, and the fact that the homegame demand seems to be mostly for normal type tournaments generally freezout or 1-2 re-entry seems to suggest that that's what a lot of people (particularly homegame recreationals) want to play.

Sorry for not replying. We left it too last minute but might try set one up for this weekend. 

 

When you say Unibet screen names; can you just clarify what that is please?

Not used the service before so apologies. Just trying to get the info you need to create the tournament for us. 

 

Cheers

By screenname they mean the alias you use at the tables , not the username not the account number but the alias that you create (in the poker client at profile) and can have 5 of them in stock. You (and your friends) can give any one of the 5 aliases you can have on your account and you don't have to necessarily play with that alias as it's used only to grant access to the tournament in order to make it private.

This is an idea that was suggested by a member of the UAT that I shall not reveal here as he might become a millionaire due to it!

The basic concept is that because it's not humanely possible to respond to every single message in a timely fashion the service for everyone is downgraded to a very unprofessional level, therefore, starting today 01-04-2020, and this has already been approved by the CEO of unibet Magnus Magnusenstrøm,  and as you can see reading this a few minutes after it being posted it's still not marked as Accepted by lazy @Stubbe-Unibet , this is exactly the kind of behavior this measure is meant to correct!

How will the new system work?

It's quite simple, the more you rake the more interactions with staff you can have on this forum, whether help with an issue, feedback, ideas, bugs, it all will be "paid" with the hidden balance on your account of how much you raked this quarter (the implementation will likely use challenge points). 

So let's say this quarter you raked 100$ by playing various games, if you require the assistance of a staff memeber with a support issue 10€ from that virtual balance will be deducted that will guarantee you a response within 7 working days. Every subsequent response or clarification that you require for the same issue the cost per response will grow by 50% compared to the previous one, so you would start at 10€ for the 1'st response, 2'nd would cost 15€ , 3'rd 22.5€, 4'th 33.8€ so on and so forth.

Responses that are deemed by the staff memeber as a "waste of time" will still be given regardless of their opinion as it will be a paid service, but the person requesting it will have a surcharge deducted of 50€ rake. 

Keep in mind that none of this is paid with real money, it's all an extra perk that you can get for the rake you generate on the site, a perk that you did not have until now, and it will guarantee a certain standard of professionalism that we've never had before. 

That being said, if you reach 3 "useless" responses (and this includes password requests) during a calendar month there will be an extra penalty in the form of a restriction from any freeroll on the site for the next 30 days, and all your tickets will be voided. This is to prevent people abusing this system and trolling the staff just because they've raked "a lot".

This system  is going to improve everyone's experience with the community and with the staff tremendously and I'm quite excited for this change, and the reason I posted this here despite already it being accepted by the higher ups, is because the community has always been by players for players and input of the players is always valuable, so do you agree with the new system? do you think the requirements are too low and they should be 20€ per response? 

I often see hand reviews as a suggestion but when they happen there's hardly any interaction, no hands posted, nobody does any work on the hands, nobody comes with counter points to the analysis posted by switching up the ranges to how they perceive it and then does the work to analyse that. Seems like everyone just wants some sort of "coaching" articles from the ambassadors, which is cool too but doesn't do much to increase the activity on the the forum. And I'm guilty of this too for sure, I much prefer just watching, than being an active part in the study process of other people. 

Blogs are cool, my favorites are Stubbe's, MetalWolf's, Broky's and from the older blogs monkeyheaven. Making them more visible to the general populace in some way would be cool, cause right now it's mostly just the powerusers of the forum noticing them. One issue with it is that I feel like forums are not the best blogging medium with the endless pages of conversations (which are great to have and the big plus of forums) intertwined with the actual blog posts / trip reports/ day reports/ hand discussions, it just makes it all hard to read and to get to the juicy bits if you're not willing to start reading 40 pages of randomness. Could have some pinned posts or somewhere on the main page with something cool and recent and relevant from a popular blog, metalwolf's trip reports are a great example of something that would fit that bill, but also good stories like someone qualifying for cheap to a unibet open and posting updates and pictures, maybe incentivise that a bit too with some tickets.   

On the twitch front, a lot of content is being made (entertainment, study, leakfinders, cashgames, mtt, leagues, as well as it being a perpetual AMA), more could be done with all the twitch clips made, maybe with highlights, idk, there's a lot of stuff that mostly exists just in the moment, which is fine, but it has more potential. Also this is more of a past tense thing now so maybe not relevant anymore but colabs with other streamers, the way you had a bunch of gamers involved could have had a lot of fun games where everyone plays together, maybe some grudge matches, not just the little coaching sessions that were done in the past (which were cool as well). Similar to how Ian and Lappin had hilarious grudge matches, but like while that's a good colab contentwise (for the people that already like them) it's not very relevant reach wise cause their audiences overlapped completely and not very promoted (they had a bloody live grudge match that was only seen by the few live spectators, the video of it was cool but it was more like a trailer for something that never came :D ) 

There are a lot more important things that should be in the news box than it being spammed with freerolls you want a password to. If you want an update if a stream isn't happening follow their twitters, it's that simple. If you don't care about the streams and just want freeroll, well, it's a freeroll for the stream, it's not really made for you, you just happen to be able to get in cause it's so easy to get the password. 

As for the streamer letting the team know, when they can they do it, Ian did it today for example. If there's a family emergency of some sort, or something happens in the outside world, you know the outernet, far away from psrquakland, you bet your ass that a freeroll won't be their number 1 priority. Why didn't they get cancelled? Who knows, maybe nobody was available at work at the time to cancel them, or maybe someone tried and the backend didn't really colaborate as it has many times in the past. Ultimately it's just a freeroll, expecting disproportionately high resources to be spent on making the freeroll experience perfect is ridiculous, especially since nobody lost anything due to it.  

Lol, please dude, it's not my first time dealing with a troll, this isn't a malfunction of the client and you know it, this isn't the first time you come with silly demands, if it was noone would bat an eye at it, you aren't trying to improve the client in this case, you're just one of those people that gets a kick out of treating people that provide you with a service like you own them, like you should be the center of their universe for your 1€ of rake that you contribute a month. 

@psrquack trolling employees constantly is not the communication and exchange of opinion that is encouraged, do you do the same when you order food at the restaurant? cause in that case it's likely that they add some extra flavoring to your food 😏

@psrquack Holy ❤️♥️❤️ dude, are you for real? It's a freeroll! If you really care about your time that much then you're already wasting your time by playing freerolls and should do something else with that time. I would suggest tournaments with a buyin of over 10€, they rarely cancel and seem more worth your time. :cash::cash:👍

GG everyone

my sheet shows identical results 👍

1cc95ea25082d1993df4448bb396efc6

just 7 more minutes not to miss out, 1 € buyin

ticket please../.

@Kliedz_Zivju There's 2 more extra chances, one today in 1 and a half hours and one tomorrow. They starts at 19:30 CET 😃

You want tikiet to a 4k freeroll? Well this is one of the last 4 chances to get one, a tournament costing just 1€ with a regular prizepool and with 15 tickets added, starting in half an hour from now. 

@Leo-Unibet ^^^^ his ticket won in the satellite seems to expire before the final starts, the tickets the VIP's got expire in 5 days at the current time of posting which is probably the correct amount of time to be able to register till last minute. 

The first 1€ sattelite to 4000€ final 15 1000chip tickets added (and a normal prizepool) starts in 10 minutes, yuge value, the final will for sure have less than 200 players, only 35 people registered right now in the satties! :cash: 👍:cash:

If I get this right @DaVitsche , I received 5 tickets and I already registered for the final .

 

But if I play the daily qualifier I can get another 5 tickets to get a 10k stack? But to use them I have to unregister first and choose 10x tickets from the menu. That's how it works?

Yup, all that is 100% correct 😃

@Purps the original post was written before the final terms of the promo got decided, I'll tell David to edit it tonight. 

All the VIP's listed above (people that got in though the 2019 loyalty route) should have gotten their tickets for the final today. PLEASE CHECK IF YOU HAVE, if you're on the above list and didn't get your tickets please contact @DaVitsche on twitch and mention your unibet alias, he will be streaming every day this week. Each VIP got 5 tickets for the final which means you can start the tournament with 5000 chips, and you have the possibility to win 5 more though the 1€ qualifiers that start today to get 10000 chips at the start. Each 1000 chips ticket is worth around 9€ in equity added so very very much worth it for a 1€ buyin, both VIP's and players that don't have tickets yet should play them IMO. The maximum is 10 tickets, these tickets will have no value after the final is over so don't forget to use them.

In order to use your tickets please make sure you select all of them when registering to get the maximum amount of chips for them. Since they are tickets, using the + sign on the registration window will give an error, but if you use the dropdown menu you can select the number of tickets you want to use, click the highest number you can click. 

Here's an example of how to do that. 

https://i.imgur.com/1R4N1EX.mp4

It's fine to register and unregister and register again, as tickets get refunded when you unregister, just make sure you use all your tickets before the tournament starts since if you start the tournament with less tickets you won't be able to use the rest, there will be no rebuys in this tournament. 

Currently the tournament is in the process of being set up so don't worry if it appears and disappears from the lobby, it will be there on the 1'st of february.  

I don't think rebuys are that good in R/A 10x satties while you still have chips and generally should be played more as a re-entry just to get to the addon. There are exceptions of course where buyin+rebuy is good but generally the benfit is marginal, while the addon benefit will be pretty big most of the time due to it being 2x the starting chips.

Here's a crazy solution to this problem that I used to do when I used to exchange tickets, when you predict that you will not be able to play more of the higher value tickets fast enough, just stop playing the lower levels for a while until you reduce your number of higher tickets, instead of bothering employees with extensions every day, ez 🆒

Also the addon is such a big part of your EV in these rebuy addons, I think the scenarios where not taking the addon is not leaving a ton of money on the table are quite rare. You're maximizing ROI but minimizing hourly, in a spot where you have tons of tickets anyway. 

I kind of agree with that, I always critique them when they go for a hack feature or fix but back then it used to be a fairly small team that was working on a bunch of different products, I think the number of devs increased greatly compared to 3-4 years ago and as a consequence a lot of major issues got fixed, but even so they're still way way fewer than what stars has for example, and they still have to work on the, let's just say not optimal framework that was built originally, they can't really rebuild everything from scratch at this point. 

Out of all the issues the software has this is probably one of the most inconsequential ones one could complain about. 

Well, on unibet rebuy and re-entry is very similar cause re-entry was coded as a hack from rebuys (so a rebuy that you can only take when you have 0 chips) and not like on other sites where you're a completely new entry that gets reseated at another table, so it doesn't even matter much what it's called. 

As for the addon no it doesn't have an addon, you can tell that by looking at the Re-buy/add-on line under the register button. If it had an addon it would be €50/€50, when it doesn't have one of the 2 then it's just a dash
