Just seeing what interest there is for another Betnomi Poker Series

[arallmuus]

I've been playing the Pko games on ACR and they're fun but get you alot of bad calls from users chasing bounty money. I think it would be alot of extra work for me due to I'd have to keep track of who knocks out who and what each persons bounty is as I don't believe the Betnomi software is coded for all that.

There are alot of PKO tournaments running in Betnomi Poker as well so it shouldnt be any issue to arrange one if we all agreed on that ( I've played few of them in the old site ). Besides that, lets use the top ten usual point system even if it is for the PKO tournament to decide the top 9 players for the Grand Finale so it doesnt matter of who knocks out who

I would prefer 5PM but okay with 6PM either, please don't delay more than that. I am fine with any buy-in. Let's go.

Yeah its either 5 or 6PM UTC for me as well. Sticking to the previous schedule would be great

[yahoo62278]

Here is what has been decided so far. We are going to do a freeroll 1st, likely next week/weekend. This will allow some new players to try the site out as well as some users to make a little extra for their bankroll.

I have sent a couple ideas to the owner regarding the freeroll/freerolls. Waiting on  a response, but the ideas were 1 freeroll fri,sat, or sunday. The 2nd idea was 1 smaller freeroll each day monday-friday to let users get acquianted with the site. Those planning on making an account, be nice and contact me for affiliate link

That mean we have about a week to make some crucial decisions on how we want to play and when.

• Starting time seems most want the same or near it which was 6pm UTC
• Starting chip amounts, noone seemed to really have an opinion on this. I would like to go with 50k
• Blinds, I am thinking 5 minute since we will likely have 50k chips
• Buyin? somewhere between $10 and $20
• 1 rebuy sounds cool and builds a prizepool so i'm 100% ok with this
• Day we are playing? Saturday or Sunday?
• I think we should make sure there is interest for a weekend series before we start making a weekday series.

I would be interested in a new poker series as well. Wasn't part of it in the past because I mainly played cash games. Things got a bit stale lately, so trying out a tourney should spice things up. As for the buyins it depends a bit on the number of games there will be. I would recommend instead of having a too big buyin, rather add the opportunity to rebuy once or twice. Having more than one bullet makes it more fun for the players and casino still gets their buyins. Will there be twitch broadcasting with commentating again?

If I remember correctly the last time there was a freeroll before the series too, with a nice prize pool from Betnomi! I believe both ideas are good, I prefer 1 freeroll with a higher prize pool, but I guess it would be better to have more of them and check how many people from here are really interested to play poker!

I like it... almost exactly as before! 50k chips and 5 minutes blinds will make the game more interesting!

That makes sense, just wasn't sure what was available for a format.

• Starting time seems most want the same or near it which was 6pm UTC

• Blinds, I am thinking 5 minute since we will likely have 50k chips

• I think we should make sure there is interest for a weekend series before we start making a weekday series.

If we stick with a 6pm UTC or close to it, I am fine with either day. Saturday makes sense for those in timezones where it would be late evening. I can't remember what we did before but 10/15$ seems like what would accomodate most. rebuys can help the prizepool if people choose to fire that second bullet.... when I suck out on them.

I like the 5 minute turbo blind structure. Would 50K chips then put us at like  a "double stack" sort of start - 200BB . Deepstack poker can be a lot of fun so I don't see a problem with it.

I may or may not be able to play next weekend as I'm at work, but will keep an eye out. The plant has become busier than it used to be so a mid shift tourney might not be in the cards for me anymore; woe is me.

Yeah it would be great to play with 200BB stack format. Its kinda pointless to start with 50k starting stack but only 100BB and 5 minutes blind ( 11 levels in an hour ). Some of Betnomi's tournament has 50k starting stack and 100BB format which is kinda weird though

Either way is fine. If you decided to go with the later option then changing the prize of the freerolls to tickets for the weekends game would be nice instead of just straight smaller cash prizes. All of us regulars would definitely use those cash prizes to play the weekend game but some people might just go straightaway to withdraw those

[1r0n1c]

guys please not Saturdays!!! My generation is having nightouts
Sunday 6pm would be perfect

[rhomelmabini]

Should be $10 buy-in is fine I guess since we can have a rebuy. What do you guys think? I'm fine with either Sat or Sunday but just look above @1ron1c seems not fine in it. Should be fine if it's always a weekend series since I myself was busy during the weekdays.

Today I have successfully registered on betnomi.com, but when I went to Poker section and tried to register there I got this message



Of course I could pick something like Betwrong1 and proceed, but if it's just a bug, I'd rather keep my name.

But it turned out there's more. I decided to read Terms and Conditions carefully and here's what I found there:



It just so happens that I actually live in one of those places. Theoretically I could use VPN(although I don't use it), but then I read in the Withdrawals section:



So, I guess I wouldn't be able to withraw my funds anyway.

This is very frustrating because I want to play in the Series so badly, and now my only hope is that there is a mistake in the Terms and Conditions, and if they were updated I would be able to play.

NOTE: I played in the previous Bitcointalk Poker Series on Betnomi and I won one of them, and then I won a bit more playing poker, and I did successfully withdraw $700 from the site 3 months ago.

[RapTarX]

Last time, you played on 6 pm UTC; that's 11:30 pm here in my local  I guess I won't be able to participate if that's the time as I have more than a lot of works at that time but if it's earlier than this time, I'm interested to join the Poker Series as I really enjoy playing poker. Will bookmark the thread & wait for an update from you.

Maybe they updated their T&C already after you played on the site. Maybe you can asked yahoo as he might be affiliated to them and asked if you can be whitelisted or something like that, well, it's just my opinion. Wouldn't want to breach the T&C but if there's else will be done then I guess that's it for you.

I guess the consensus would mostly falls on that period of time. Anyways, just keep an eye here maybe it will be changed later on.

Don't worry about it, just contact @sorsis when it comes to withdrawing funds and your issue will be resolved immediately (or you have a question).

The thing is that this is not a public matter, and as you remember, neither from the players of the previous poker series from anyone else, Betnomi did not demand KYC and did not impose restrictions on the withdrawal of funds (due to jurisdiction). You should understand that Betnomi are simply obliged to establish legal standards in order to comply with this or that regulation, but this does not prevent them from being extremely loyal.

It happened to me as well, it seems either they forgot to wipe out the previous data from the old site so it got exported to the new site hence we cant use our usual nickname because it was already 'registered' via the old site or they cant 'delete' the old database for the poker network because its probably a 3rd party poker network

Aside from the restricted countries issue, I think Betnomi is pretty lenient to these things as long as you dont really break any rules or trying to cheat in their site

Thank you for this amazing explanation! I feel much better now. Like many of you guys here, I've been waiting for this Series for many long months, and when I thought I wouldn't be able to participate it was literally killing me.

Thanks! I see now. Just was worried someone could impersonate me and be asking for loans on the site, or something.

So, I registered under Betwrong1 in the poker section, and going to play a freeroll in 5 minutes. Wish me luck.

This aligns right during the time when I usually stream. Possibly would see betnomi on my channel. This isn't a plug for my channel, but rather the fact that I do enjoy playing with the  community.

1st $200 freeroll is in the lobby. Check out FREEROLL this thread.

Oh, only today I've thought to check this topic to see if you finally decided something. 
(and i thought that you will do the first session more likely on Saturday)
So this time without me, but next week i'm for sure in!

[yahoo62278]

Freerolls #2 and #3 are live.

A single tournament/week on a weekend in the morning works for me (maybe afternoons are doable too).

[icopress]

Guys, I'm confused... in the lobby of the tournament it is indicated that the initial number of chips is 100,000, and the tournament starts in 13 days.

How then do these guys have more chips than the starting value? ^{[Did these guys win multiple tickets to this tournament?]}

By the way, when will the schedule be announced?
