The poker side certainly looks better, but the tournament schedule took a hit. No more guaranteed tournaments pretty much means no more tournaments will run, although I can't really blame you as they never met their guarantees.
Right now only the daily 100hand freeroll is in the lobby...can you share what the prizepools are going to be for the 700/1000/3000 weekly ones? Also none of my play from this week seems to be counting...are the hands for the freeroll starting @ the time of the update?
Hey CryForMeSky!
I'm happy to hear that you like the new layout, we've definitely put some work into it! We're still working on finishing the updates for the tournament schedule, the prize-pools for the 700/1000/3000 hand challenges will be 300/500/1000 mBTC respectively. If we hear of a lot of demand for GTDs, we will absolutely add them back. We'd love to hear more feedback on the tournament schedule, please send your suggestions to
[email protected].
Also, your play should be counting to the 100 hand tournament right now - you can view this by clicking your avatar in the lobby to see your challenges/achievements info. Only those hands played after the time of the update will count towards the new unlockable tournaments.
If you have any more questions or issues, please don't hesitate to contact support -
[email protected] - they'd be happy to help!
Happy betting!

Played on the site more today, and the new layout is way better than the old one. The only problems I can see is that the area on the bet slider where you can click to move it is just a little too small and when people are all in in PLO it doesn't show their cards until after the turn is dealt. Also there doesn't seem to be an easy on-the-table way to see the last hand/way to see opponent's hole cards if they get to showdown.
I'm not sure what feedback I could give on the tournament schedule, I mean it's super barren and the two worthwhile tournaments (25mb PLO and 25mb/750gtd) are gone, but I get it, the tournaments were losing you money and you can't be expected to lose money forever. I do think there are ways to grow the tournament player base through co-opting existing promos, but I've given you a bunch of free poker management advice in the past and none of it was taken, so I get it...you guys have your own vision and are working to that end. And honestly the cash games on the site are so good that the MTTs are kind of not that important.
