JeppeL Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hi everybody,From April 16th, a new poker ticket exchange policy will take effect. We're not removing the possibility of exchanging sattelite tickets, but in the future I'll have to be done in an automated way through the Poker Client. If you ever exchange tickets or bonuses, please do read below and let us know if you have any questions on the new policy and how the exchange tournaments are going to work :)The new policy:Players will not be able to exchange poker tickets/bonuses or extend poker tickets/bonuses via customer support or the community site.Standard expiry date will change on some non-freeroll tournament tickets so that players have more time to use tickets they unlock after April 16th.Standard expiry date will change on some bonuses so that players have more time to complete bonuses they unlock after April 16th.All tickets credited before 16th April will have a new expiry date of July 31st.We will add new tournaments in the poker client every Saturday in which players can only enter with a live event qualifier ticket which they wish to break into smaller tickets (e.g. a €50 UO qualifier exchange tournament will allow players to enter with a €50 UO ticket, the tournament will automatically end at the designated start time and all entrants will receive 5x €10 UO qualifier tickets).Best regards,Jeppe - Community Manager 33 Former Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casthaneda Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 With my luck i will break the system and manage to bubble that tourney too.On the serious note: Weekly exchange might hurt the liquidity of the smaller volume sat players/grinders, having to wait a potential 7 days for the exchange, is running them more often (twice a week or more) or putting them up as some HU SNG a possibility? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsAF Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @Casthaneda the whole poin of this system is to reduce exchanges ;)So I think it's a good thing to have it only once 3 I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant... It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psrquack Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 That sounds great, btw will we have the opportunity to split/unite tickets too (for example split a €5 ticket to 5*€1 sng tickets and vice versa)? Will the no exchange within the qualifier system rule still exists? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidP_Unibet Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I won't be online again until later so can jump in and help to answer some questions then but can help with this one for now:@psrquack wrote:That sounds great, btw will we have the opportunity to split/unite tickets too (for example split a €5 ticket to 5*€1 sng tickets and vice versa)? Will the no exchange within the qualifier system rule still exists?For now the only exchanges/splits we'll allow will be within live qualifier system via the automated exchange tournaments we will run weekly (to the other post above, we will launch these one day per week and look at whether we should expand in future). A lot of tickets currently being exchanged are given out in promotions specifically because we want to focus the promotional money in a cetain game or stake - if those tickets are then exchanged then it defeats the purpose. 7 “Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or lost.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwaanneess Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 so that means if we get a nl4 ticket or a 1 euro sng ticket, we actually have to play those stakes to get the value? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any other instances you are thinking of?Atm Challnges has €11 in low stakes tickets as payouts (€6 cash game ticket, €1 MTT and 4x €1 SNG) and the rest is bonus points. We'll also replace those low stakes tickets with bonus points over time and let new player mission point players towards these games instead. 1 “Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or lost.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwaanneess Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 sounds great! long live bonus points where you can choose yourself on what to spend!good job by Unibet !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinki Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 HiGood idea. Few days ago i spoke with friend and we agreed that Unibet should take small 'fee' for exchange some tickets.. and create simple tool in poker client for couples ticket, this manual exchange by @RayL must be boring and tiring. Question: In This tournaments all players can exchange? or ie. 50% paid places? :) Any buy-in? "Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises."

jonny2192 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @pinki Its 0 rake and every player who enters will get the same value back as what they bought in for. Just in lower denomination tickets. 5 You can exchange UO tickets again all is unicorns and rainbows in Unibet land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapInAChair Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 This sounds like a very sensible solution and I’m sure it will save a hell of a lot of work. Any chance they can be set up as S&Gs rather than scheduled tourneys so people can switch tickets on demand? It might prevent bottlenecking. 5 Formerly known as StartlingGrope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 This seems really a really good solution I'm looking forward to seeing it in practice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelsBadMan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @ChapInAChair from a technical standpoint, making them as SNGs would probably be much much harder than just setting up a few tournaments. However having multiples a week would be nice. The exchange section will need a pinned post with screenshots and a schedule of these tournaments to redirect all the confused exchange people 😏Will all the tickets acquired before the 16'th have longer expiration dates as well? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radge1 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Will the automated exchange tournaments cover all UO/UK tickets or only higher values?Will there be a auto-ex tourney where you can break down a UK4 ticket into 4xUK1 tickets for example.PS I'm a high roller and only asking on behalf of the nits 😏 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janek Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 My understanding is that only live event tickets can be exchanged after April 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoreTBC Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 "Players will not be able to exchange poker tickets/bonuses or extend poker tickets/bonuses via customer support or the community site." "We will add new tournaments in the poker client every Saturday in which players can only enter with a *live event qualifier ticket*..." Seems pretty clear. Got a Supernova ticket? Play the Supernova. Got a Supernova sat ticket? Play the sat. Rinse and repeat for any other non-live event ticket you might have. Have you read my blog HERE...

Betzcom Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 2 related bunch of Qs:1) Can we have multi-entry? Let's say I have (5 x UO250). Can I enter the new tourney 5 times and receive (25 x UO50)? Or would I have to wait until the next Saturday?2) How would "irregular" sized tickets be swapped e.g. (UK25)? At present, you can do (4 x UK25) => (25 x UK4).Thanks for your time in advance,Betzcom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
