Would it not have made more sense to advertise this when you posted the October promotions thread at the end of September rather than 2 and a half days after it started ?
It does look a good promotion, but it might make more sense in future to advertise before it starts. Thats constructive criticism by the way, which I undertsand is still allowed without the comment being pulled. |
By:
chipfire totally agree a lot of work as gone into this so it was a shame to not have promoted it before it started.
I have some issues with the prizes though, 1c SNG tickets (seriously!) OK if you are going to do this can you not just make the tourney an automtic all in coin flip? You have to wait for the table to fill up and the blinds are so that you are left with 500, might as well just go all in but you have to be at the table to do this and this seems silly for a 1c ticket!!! Not sure what I am supposed to do with the 1 free spin either to be honest, it doesn't seem clear how to use that. |
By:
Im on the verge of giving up after 4 days.
I have a shedload of them 1 cent tickets that are absolutely fk all use to anyone- they cant seriously expect anyone with half a brain to actually use them FFS- and God only knows what the free spins are or what you do with them, like you say, some guidance would have been nice. My main problem though is that I run so bad on BF I'm beginning to wonder if its possible. Played 285 games, have ROI of -17% and have lost £542 and average buyin is only £8. My Scope graph looks like I jumped off a cliff. It just seems like no matter how well I play I end up losing. |
By:
Has anyone won anything other than a free spin or a 1c coinflip? I've had 140 scratchcards and won nothing else.
I can't find anywhere to use the free spins, has anyone got a clue? The 1c games are worthless, makes more sense just putting 1c into a players account rather than the hassle of a coinflip. |
By:
I must have had about 100 and won nothing other than 1c tickets and free spins. Theres gonna be folk with 4 or 5 hundred of these tokens in their accounts at this rate.

Tried that Joker Poker but don't see my free bets. Any time I play it comes out of my Betfair balance. Any help?
|
By:
Hah hah ....pawned.
I'm self excluded from all that Casino/Arcade horsesh1t. This promo just gets better by the day. Is it just a ruse to get us all into the habit of playing coinflips and **** arcade games ? |
By:
Discoed when playing again tonight. Lost all my games including one 6 max Super Turbo where I was massive chip leader heads up. 60 per cent **** is all well and good, but fk all use when you cant stay connnected using their 1990's software, and every disconnect costs you 20 or 30 quid.
Feel a right mug for downloading the product again. Lesson learned. |
By:
I haven't had a disconnect in weeks/ months, guessing you're on a wireless connection?
|
By:
Yeah I play on wireless connection, normally I can tell its coming as tables start lagging really badly but last 2 nights its just shutdown and given me that dumb " Whoops that shouldnt have happened " pop up.
I should have known when I saw that service message Monday night saying the Ipoker poker product wasnt working.Funnily enough I was playing another Ipoker skin at the time absolutely fine right through the alleged outage. Plus there was planned maintenance the other night which is always the kiss of death. Im using an almost new £900 laptop with loads of RAM, I dont have these issues on any other network and I havent even had them lately on another I-poker skin. The bottom line is that I cant play a site with regular discoes, and certainly not one I dont like playing anyway. The whole experience feels like it was designed by a m0r0n with no poker experience whatsoever. You still get 2 pop ups telling you your game has started along with the table opening itself for every game you start, which does my napper in. That despite a message in the middle of the table telling you your new game is starting along with a countdown clock telling you when. Its like they have no concept of multi-tabling and that nobody on the design side has ever sat down with players and asked them what they want from a site. It is a good promo, but I cant play on Ipoker for 50 days, I would probably end up on suicide watch. The 300-1 turn/river bad beats are hard enough to handle anyway without all the other issues. |
By:
Had to click accept for the 1p free spin on logging in this morning with wager 30 times if you won anything priceless
|
By:
Interesting fact
Total scratch cards available appears to be 2,503,611 of which up to about 5 minutes ago there was 2,383,264 left after 9 days, so doing the math that is around 13,371 per day. If the average is 50 SP per user that would equate to around 267 BF Poker users who have opted in to this promo? |
By:
I allegedly got an 11$ tourney token from last nights efforts. Its showing in the My Prizes section on the promo page along with my sixty odd free spins I cant use, and sixty odd 1 cent tokens I dont want to use, but no sign of it being credited to my account.
|
By:
This doesn't seem to work for me. All I seem to get is the message telling me to log in (even though I have done so). Am I just being an idiot?
|
By:
It appears that it is very easy to 'win' a 'free spin' on Joker Poker (ha ha by the way).
There is no way then to use the free spin because the only option is to use your balance as Ovalman has already said. Crikey have Betfair actually had a meeting and designed this so as to screw 1p out of us each time we play? Mind you I suppose calling it Joker Poker is a clue. |
By:
It gets better, by the look of things my 11$ tourney ticket can only be used at a D2N Spolight table. The likelyhood of a ten dollar, ten man, Spotlight D2N filling, is about the same as my dad winning The London Marathon. And he died in 2002.
Oh and I was underpaid me day late **** an all. Day after day etc... |
By:
I'm not playing Betfair until later but I have been every night since this promotion started.
Bad news for you Chip, as soon as I start up the software I register for a spotlight 6 Max $5.40 STT and then forget about it. Only 3 times has the game started in 8 days of playing. Shame really as they are slightly cheaper rake and you get $1 back for every 13 played. I would have thought others would have cottoned on to this, especially if on a RB deal and playing the Brazil promotion. If I see your name in the D2N later or at any time in the future I'll join you. |
By:
I read the T/C of the Joker Poker and 10c coinflips and you have to use them within 7 days lol. I was hoping to save up all my spins until the end of the promotion and just go for it and see what I could win.
|
By:
The problem with the Spotlight tables is that they are Betfair players only, and as someone has pointed out above there simply arent enough BF STT players for them to ever fill at the higher stakes.
Its a hard enough job getting the standard tables to fill at the higher stakes a lot of times. Hardly anyone seems to register for games from 30$ upwards. Its an an absolute joke if they are offering prizes nobody can use. |
By:
LOL just seen the post from EAGLE about having to wager any winnings from your penny free spin 30 times before you can withdraw
I reckon it would take me about 4 or 5 hours to get through my 150 free spins and 1 cent STT's. All in the hope of winning about a quid tops. |

By:
All you need to beat me is 2 outs when the money goes in so its hardly an achievement, given you are guaranteed to hit them. I run so far below EV on Betfair Im wondering if its mathematically possible. Losing 2 hands when you are 300-1 on two nights running is bad at the best of times, but when you are already running like death you just feel like giving up altogether.
|
By:
Anyway I've given up with the promotion, and ended up with 113 free spins I cant use, and 115 1 cent tokens I dont want to use. Oh and an 11$ token for a game that has never had anyone register for it, let alone 10 people.
Smashing !!!! Think I will end up with $20 back from the promo, plus $37 in cake, but lost about $175 in the games themselves. Another partial success. |
By:
On the road to Brazil matrix there is a blue border box on the 1000 level and now a yellow border on the $75 is the yellow border showing your current prize in the matrix?
|
By:
They stopped giving me them arcade free spins when I told them I was self - excluded. Now I get the 10 VPP prize instead. As Im on 30% **** presumably these are also worth less than shyte ?
|
By:
On a brighter note, one of them 10 dollar Spotlight tables finally filled last week.
