And thats why this is a structure that is made to lower edges/ROI. Hey @triceraatopp , I hope you are fine ! If we're adding like 20% more prizes in each tournament it's a given that some of the payouts will be changed and the money has to come from somewhere. I don't agree that the distribution is built to take away away good players edge, I'm raher sure you will increase your ROI with these changes. I'm willing to take a bet on that   check your stats 6 weeks from now and compare it with 6 weeks before teh change, it's a beer on the line                  ... View more

@Caladrias wrote: @Leo-Unibet, great job on the new spans for the payout slots. Played a few small field MTTs last night, and it was great to see 4 or 5 people ITM where previously that was never possible, only 3 or 6 was an option with resulting big % gaps in amount of players paid out. This was a long needed change, and even though I still bubbled everywhere I really like how it is now. Props Leo for this aspect I also kept an eye on the deep impact again yesterday, and it had a high top prize of €1262 (!!) with a prizepool of €5569. So yes, a rather high amount of entries, but not extraordinary either. This makes me believe the top heaviness of the payouts didn't get affected that much as I think we all assumed here first, which I think we all like to see. The image Leo posted from the bounty tournament, also seems to confirm this. Off course the money for the extra payouts has to come from somewhere, and it's easy to see this comes from lower mincashes in the new distribution. I can't say I like being paid out less than a buyin as a mincash in bounty MTTs at all... But yeah, I guess it's one or the other if more people have to be in the money. And I prefer a bigger top prize then above a bigger mincash, if I really have to choose. I would also have liked it to be a lower percentage than 17% ITM for sure, but as I said before I don't think it can be as big of a surprise as it's gotta be better for recreational players... Thus, not surprising that Unibet chooses to do this. EDIT: haven't played a R/A mtt yet. It would be interesting to see how mincashes relate to the buyins there. Gonna keep an eye on that in the next days.  Thanks @Caladrias I really appriciated your post  ... View more

@GothMoth @Caladrias @DianeAbbott @NMPfan @triceraatoppSome background of the old payout distribution. First of all, before the payouts had way to wide spans (too many players) in the different payout slots. This sometimes, under specific curcumstances, we could see tournaments where players being paid from 16,5% to as low as 10% . Now we narrow those payout slots down so we can hold the difference of players being paid as simular as possible no matter how many players there is in a tournament. With the new prize distribution  we have a much better control of how many players (%) will be paid out. Targeting 17% payout in all situations are in line with Unibets ambitions to care for the recreational players, with the new prize distribution we are doing so without effecting the grinders (players that win a lot of tournaments) by still having attactive top prizes. I know some of you had concerns about uing the new PD on bounty tournaments. I had a look at a tournament from yeasterday (€400 Shooting Star Bounty) with 128 runners and compared it with a previuos day with 128 players. Below you see the differences, some of the payouts pay out less than the buyin, but all players were paid at least 1,5 times their buyin because of the bounties. I think it's fair/ok, top 6 players got pretty much the same payout as in the old payout. Paying out as little as 10-11% as we did before in some cases was so much 2005. I strongly beleive that these changes, even if not all like them now will be good for all going forward. My strong beleives are that this will help tournaments at Unibet to grow it the future.  The player who will be knocked out as 36th in Supernova on Sunday will definitely be one of the "belivers" after that tournament.  I appriciate all your comments and thoughts about the change                        ...

@comanimal wrote: I get the reasoning behind this (create more positive experiences for more players), but no one plays with the goal of 2x or even worse 1.5x cashing (no recreationals at least). More money up top is always more appealing in my opinion.  Hey @comanimal  You hit the nail on the head,  a  more positive experiences for more players, after all, poker should be a good experience.

@sgriff wrote: @Leo-Unibet Hi Leo, Yes, we are both doing well thanks.  Hope you enjoyed Sinaia. It looked a fantastic stop and a really good idea so well done whoever thought of that. I would have tried to qualify but it coincided with a busy period at work. Yes if you could convert to cash then that would be good.  I'm probably not going to attend the UK legs this year. I'm not keen on the turbo structure to be honest.  They are more fun to play, but for most players (ie those that are knocked out before the 40 mins levels are reached) they play as a turbo and it's a long way for me to travel just to play a turbo.  It's ok if you arrive with loads of tickets, but even then it's got the potential to be a very expensive weekend if several tickets get used.  I've been looking out for details of the tour in the hope it will revert to 40 minute levels but I haven't been able to find anything yet. Hopefully we will catch up with you in Malta. Regards Simon @sgriff  I will make sure you get credited the value. I hope you will make it to some of the stops anyway, the structure for next season aren't decided yet, it leans at us going back to a more traditional blind structure for next year, still, the tournament has to be over in 2-playing days.

@sgriff wrote: @Patric-Unibet I have a spare UK Tour ticket left over from last year. I think it was a second ticket for when I played in Brighton which didn't get used and I'm pretty sure I forgot to ask for a 2nd ticket to be converted to cash.  Please check to make sure I am not overlooking a ticket conversion, but if there wasn't one is it possible to convert it to cash now? @sgriff Hi Simon, I hope you and your lovely wife are well.

@KoksiPYS wrote: @Stubbe-Unibet @Leo-Unibet Thanks for listening to the community and one more thing... I know you want to boost the cash games action with this payout structure in the freerolls, but if possible can you make it as it was before, but instead of the 1€ MTT ticket you get a 1€ Banzai ticket and that way more people have a chance of cashing, cause right now the payout structure is absurd , only less then 1% make the money in the 25€ ones and 2% in the 100€ one.  @KoksiPYS As you noticed we want to boost teh cash game by giving out CG tickets, the payouts are as flat I can have them.

@Psycho79 wrote: Hey @Leo-Unibet Tonight's qualifier to 50€ 3xGTD r/a structure must have been changed, but... that lasted almost 2hours and Comet late reg had been closed before I could use the ticket. I understand the reasons for why the rebuy period has been extended again, but I think 2 hours is just too long for a satellite with 15 runners on Unibet. Especially that this particular sat seemed the only one working/covering GTD with it's structure, and would be a good pattern to copy. The only thing is players need that to finish much earlier to be able to register Comet at its first stages, or even help starting it whatsoever. I think it would be reasonable to merge two satellites with 2xTXGTD and apply the same structure as above to them. In that shape they have much greater chance to cover GTD and feed the target on time. Thanks for reading and considering it. Best Regards, GL!   @Psycho79 Hey Michał, I checked the runtime for "Qualifier to €50 Ticket 3TIX Rebuy", it's normally between 1:00-1:15h , that one you pointed out was an exception.

@XY wrote: @jerry wrote: 1-2k new players here and software probably will explode  I am afraid 500 more players and poker client would be dead,frozen!  yeah,must agree with you guys,experienced that today and is really frustrating. Like I mentioned in my "one year with UNibet" post,I am afraid it is due to a bad server. But are we willing to give our money to UNibet for a better server? More rake? @Leo-Unibet,do you considering adding one more pop-up window/panel that would have our registrated MTT tournaments? Current situation is chaotic! We have all relevant informations under one tab and it is very tough to handle.If new window/panel would make softwer havier,could you add a "pop-up" option on each tournament that we are register. I am thinking of a place next to X. Not related to above,do you @Leo-Unibet considering moving "Supernova" two hours earlier.Think that 17:00CET is perfect time,with 3:15h late reg. players can jump in and still will not be affected.Aim would be to "shorter" that tournament till 2:00-2:30AM because currently it last till 4:00-4:30AM.It is a problem to those who works on monday and also players would be more fresh at the final table,where all matters. Money is big over there,but are not some life changing. @XY We are aware of the load issues we experience lately due to a increase in activity. Actions to have the issue fixed is taken and we will "soon" see a much smoother poker experience.    The start time for Supernova is good, teh runtime is 8h with some small variations, so it finishes about 03:00CET, and if you lasted that long you are top two in the tournament, being a bit tired the day after will not be a problem, trust me  Normally we reach the final table between 1:30-2:00cet , that's not bad either. With 19 as start tiem no one has to rush home Sunday afternoon. Thanks for your idea with the pop up for registered tournaments, we will concider it!      ... View more
