This is the new official thread that we'll use to replace the unofficial one I've been
posting in there as Sciolist , so please direct any PMs to me here instead.For those of
you who haven't been following that thread, let me explain what we're doing. Good
players are getting better every year so the skill gap with new players is always
increasing. This means new players go broke faster. Sites that don't react to that will
decline, as Unibet have been doing for several years.We decided to take a gamble and
make our own standalone site. We launched on March 3rd with a PC desktop version and
have since brought out a mac client, an iOS client and a browser client.Our philosophy
is to make the game a level playing field. We do not allow HUDs, trackers or any
scripts. We do not allow table selection, but we do allow players to change their
identity up to three times per day.However, we don't want to scare away regulars. We
don't segregate player pools or hide tables from anyone. We pay out as much in our
loyalty scheme as we ever did on MGS, but now the top and bottom ends are more
generous, at the expense of the middle.We have much lower rake at NL4, NL10, PLO4 and
PLO10. We think this makes players move up in stakes faster, which we think is of
benefit to everyone.Talking of loyalty, we have an innovative scheme called Challenges
which assigns you a task like "be dealt aces 50 times" then gives you points for
completing it. There are minor Challenges (all are preflop) that take approximately
1,000 hands and there are major Challenges (postflop) that take approximately 10,000
hands. Each Challenges season lasts one quarter, so the next will start on July
1st.Yesterday three good things happened:1. We launched the Danish client and we will
soon be shutting down fully on MicroGaming.2. We had our best ever cash game rake day
which is very unusual during the summer, particularly during the world cup.3. We won
two eGR awards , one in poker innovation, and one in poker marketing innovation. Unibet
also won Innovation of the Year.That makes it a good time to start an official thread
too. I'd like to avoid too many support queries - we have a whole department for that.
But I'm happy to hear about bugs, feedback, requests, and basically anything else you
like.
