New promo - Rio MTT Series


DavidP_Unibet

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce we will have an MTT Series running from 5th - 21st August :) The top 100 players on the leaderboard will win prizes, with the top 5 players receiving some pretty unique travel experiences (1st place will go jaguar tracking in Brazil).

Altogether there will be 65 tournaments (four daily tournaments plus a €1,000 added opening tournament) with buyins from €0 - €10 and your best 25 results will count towards the leaderboard. In order to enter the freeroll tournaments you'll need to place a bet of €5 or more in the Unibet Sportsbook.

I'm really interested to hear feedback on this series as it plays through and particularly the prizes, as it's something we may look to do more of in future. 

You can read more about the series here https://www.unibet.com/promotions/poker-promotions/rio-showdown

And more info on 1st place here: https://trulyexperiences.com/uk/jaguar-tracking-in-the-pantanal-brazil.html

Good luck!

David

Only thing I don't like is flip tourneys being included as they're just pure luck but I'm probably just being old fashioned :)

 

Nice to see an entrants based point system too ;)

Have you read my blog HERE... It's long isn't it :)

I absolutely love this, especially because of the first place prize. I already track Pokemon, so to tracking a Jaguar would be something I'd certainly enjoy. :smileyvery-happy:

I debate
Should I smile like everything's good and pretend that life is great
Or should I let the world see the real me and not hide this pain
I tried to be like the rest of y'all, sorry I just can't
I'ma probably die this way

Is there going to be more information shown on the leaderboard or is it just going to be points total? Will there be any way to know how many qualifying tourneys you have played or what your lowest point tally for a tourney is? Would be handy to know what you need to reach/play later in the series to reach certain payouts.

Great promotion, !

I will try to play as many events as possible - hopefully every single one of them :smileyvery-happy: 

Did I understand it right, that every day the same MTT runs 4 times (0€, 2€, 4€, 10€)?

Will there be 16 x 0€ MTTs in total? So, you have to bet 5€ on something 16 days in a row to play all of these 0€ MTTs? I just want to be sure I understood everything correctly...  :smileyembarrassed:  Can you bet these 5€ on everything you want or is that restricted to the Olympics in Brazil?

Now it really is time to learn some basics of PLO, no more excuses :smileyfrustrated:

And you just proved that Unibet is just one of a kind with the following.

"In the event of a tie in any of the top 5 positions on the leaderboard, all tied players will win the relevant prize for that position."

That is just so generous! You are so way way ahead of your competitors depending customer friendliness! Thank you so much for being just great! ❤️

I think there is on very little mistake on the promotion page. 

Under Examples it says: 

"You finish 10th in a €1 buy-in game and there are 200 entrants, you will earn points as follows:
( (0.5 x 200) / 10 ) x 30% = 3 leaderboard points"

But there aren´t any €1 games, right? I don´t wanna be a smart ass, just dropped that to be clear. :smileywink:

 

See you all at the tables! :smileytongue:

NO MORE HALF-MEASURES.

You guys didn't take a little step in regards to leaderboard prizes but went huge.  A major step up and I hope that it's deemed a big success as it's something to get really excited about for all players.

Instinct tells me I'd have thrown in a UO package as a prize in lieu of one of the vacations just to have it mentioned in such a cool promo.  Well done guys... considering the player base this is one of the most generous promos I've seen in online poker.

Pokermon Go players are exluced from the promotion ;)

On some of the other points:

- We included Flip tournaments as a bit of an 'equaliser'. 8 of the 65 tournaments are Flip tournaments so that even a fairly new poker player has an opportunity to luckbox a few Flip tournaments and have a shot at the big prizes. There are still 57 other tournaments for skill (and a bit of luck) to reign supreme though.

- If you finish in the top 5 then it's possible to exchange your travel prize for an alternative trip via Truly Experiences. So if you win the jaguar tracking and want to go to Iceland instead, that's not a problem.

- I've been told that nobody has ever been eaten by a jaguar on one of these trips :)

- Each day the format of MTT changes, and will run at €0, €2, €4 and €10 buyin (so four tournaments per day in same format just at different buyin levels)

- There are no €1 buyin games, that was a typo which should be fixed on the site soon (in the example it is meant to be €0 games)

Missed this one in my previous reply - the leaderboard will only show total points unfortuately, but this is an improvement we could look to make for future promos.

Is it requestable through support? I did ask for the Bounty info this month but have not heard back.

I think it would be tough as the support agent could see how many tournaments you had played in total at each buyin level, but not specifically for this series. If these kind of requests fail, it'll never be because the support agent can't be bothered to assist you but just becasue they can't find the information.

Yeah, wasn't having a go at the support guys or anything. I only asked on Monday and asked the LC person just to pass it on to the poker team. I understand it's a pretty specific request, just wanted clarification on whether it was something that could be pulled up easily or not. I didn't know how the data is stored, if it takes any sort of effort I'm not fussed about receiving it :)

No worries, I didn't think you were but I think a lot of people often point the finger at support so just wanted to clarify for anyone reading.

Also can't believe nobody has got excited about this part of the 2nd prize yet:

  • A tour of the Unibet London office and lunch with the Unibet Poker team

What could be better than having Unibet-Andrew buy you lunch? :)

Being able to see the doomswitch and the imfamous 'long term plans' is probably better than a jaguar :)

Sorry, missed this question earlier. Yep, there'll be 16 x €0 MTTs in total (one each day) and the bets can be on anything in the Sportsbook.

Is the prizepool fixed at €150 for the €0 tourneys? 

 

Edit: Does the qualifying bet have to be greater than a set odds? 


in t&c is not written any criteria on how the odd should be ! so you have to bet 5 euro on any odd you wish and it might be live or prematch
