Dusk Till Dawn to Launch on the iPoker Network with over 200 x £300 Deepstack Seats Guaranteed worth over £75,000

Dusk Till Dawn would like to notify our customers that we are moving all our satellites and promotions to a new Dusk Till Dawn branded poker room on the iPoker network.
 
We are kicking off on iPoker next week with the launch of our Golden Chip satellites for our £100K March Grand Prix and 230 seats guaranteed for our March £300 £150K GTE Deepstack.

The iPoker network is the largest poker network in the world and will provide our players will more games and increased functionality.

IMPORTANT:
Players will need to download the new software and register personal details. The new software will be available to download from next week on www.dusktilldawnpoker.com

More to follow….watch this space!

Great move

Cool. Def an improvement on the current software imo! Hope its a big success for you guys.

Thank god they're moving somewhere with playable software.

I anticipate a vast increase in numbers playing online.

I liked boss

Weirdo.;)

lol there's always one  :)

Congrats on a good move Rob & team, welcome to the big leagues! :)

 ;applause;

Tremendouis news, congrats.

Low stakes blonde Forum League, anyone?

High stakes, if you're playing please.

 ;cheerleader;

such good news!

well obv but it's relative to boss, and so this is a win

What a surprise!

Excellent!

Boss was simply tilting. Now need an I poker app to keep all us recs happy.

Hopefully plenty of interest, and happy to set one up.

All around, this has to be good news for DTD Online. The move, not the prospect of a blonde league

don't shoot me down with this question (technologically naive).....does ipoker mean you can play it on an ipad???

Hi Smurf - not currently its in development shouldn't be to long though I'm told

Sadly not

I Poker is a network upon which Dtd will have a "skin"

It is much much better than boss

Actually likely to play sats now.

Good move.

I'm so excited  ;karabiner;

Wouldnt play dtd because of the software, will play ipoker, therefore obv a good move. Sat numbers for deepstacks/monte carlo will be up lots. Great move dtd

And I thought there was a lot of hate for ipoker from Blonde in recent years.

Surprised at all the love for them so far in this thread.  Having said that, the software is better than the current offering.

Will now play a lot on DTD.

We had a bad experience with IPoker.

Difficult to argue that the IPoker poker experience doesn't far exceed the Boss experience though, and I would think satellite numbers will soar, thus benefitting prize pools at DTD. Reaction so far on the thread suggests that.

I'd also think that people would be happy to play on DTD outside the satellites too, so thats another win

It will be better no doubt.

It's been that long since I played DTD online, are there any extra incentives/benefits to make this the room of choice for your average player.

Obviously rakeback is a thing of the past like.

I'm not sure, tbh, Nick/Nicola no doubt have plans to get us all playing on there....!

"230 seats guaranteed for our March £300 £150K GTE Deepstack" isn't a bad start....

For players ipoker >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> boss.

And it's no debate really.

For skin owners, I would think it's slightly different.

Apart from blonde I know a couple of others had huge issues with them.

They aren't a good site to deal with afaik.

Good luck to DTD with this!

Absolutely, interest will soar IMO.

Are ppl being too optimistic with players soaring?

I can't imagine many recs care what skin they use.

What will happen to our fpp?

will it be the usual i poker loyalty scheme?

Is there a Mac Client on iPoker?

hey,

is this going to be ipoker1 or 2?

good news :)

Is there a Genting tie in?

Will I still be told what numbe I finished when I bust? Loved that dialogue box, added super rubs

Hi Paul

You can currently still spend your FPPs in the shop like normal.

We will have a loyalty programme on iPoker, all details will be announced next week.

Cheers Nicola

I think it would be a good move. I have no problems with Ipoker at all.

you don't play enough then, it is buggy as shit.

BUT

this is a big step in the right direction for DTD imo, gl.

by when do we need to have wthdrawn money ?

sic sic brag

Hi h,

We will continue to operate on boss until the end of June so for the first few months we will have 2 rooms.
All the promos will be on the new room.

Cheers nick

iPoker has been my home for several years, so happy to support this if the loyalty scheme is half sharp.

Bring back TriBeCa

I hope so. I know there wasn't a mac client for certain other iPoker skins. So I had to use parallels but I hope I won't have to for this.

I poker > boss in my opinion so I think it will be a good move I play on both but prefer I poker I think it will help to make the sats even more of a success as I know a lot of people that say they won't play on boss an this outweighs the people who won't play on I poker! Good luck Dtd genting have had a lot of success with there sats I hope you get the same!

You can't use a mac to play on genting at present not sure if that's the same for all ipoker skins ?

Hi, Can we transfer our funds from Boss software to IPoker?

Good move.  iPoker is a massive step ahead compared to Boss.  

Great that its come in time for the Monte Carlo too.

Well done guys.

 ;cupcake;
Havent played so long on dtd cos it tilts life out of me. Cant wait to get started. Well done on a great move. wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii  ;D

Which cage will you be using?

Great news I poker loads better than boss ..

Will we all have to make new accounts user names ext .?

Will that mean we can use genting skin to play dtd sats?

Either way a great move

Any sign up bonus ex ????

will i still be able to type  "booooooooooooom" in the chat box when i am pi55ed at home on my laptop and winning all ins with ridiculous calls?????

(liquid lunch again today)

Hi we will accommodate all players to make the move as smooth as possible
Once you have the new account either withdraw from the web dollar account then re deposit or ask support and we will do it internally.

Hope to get a q and a up next week.

Cheers

Hi yes a new account will need to be registered

You will only be able to play Dtd events on the ipoker skin of dtd

For the launch we are throwing over 200 seats at it, much better value than a £5 sign up bonus

Cheers

Great news

 Kh
Hi

We will use the cage within the client so I don't envisage to many issues?

what does this mean
does the cage = the cashier ?
also plenos question ipoker 1 or ipoker 2 what differance does it make ?

Cage within the client? does that mean Aqua? if so i may tend to disagree

yes h cage = cashier

was Aqua the cage that threatened to hold blonde players funds ?

Hi Nicola, what will happen with the existing accounts and funds in them? Thnx

yes and don't think there was much threatening involved.

I don't play much at the moment but if I do it is on ipoker as just too lazy to move. I moved to blu sq after blonde as they have their own cashier and probably would have been happy to shift it to dtd but unlikely getting involved much if it is aqua or whoever.
 

Hi Eck

Our banking is with a uk payment processor certinly nothing to do with aqua.
I am aware of the problems tk and rich faced back then however things are very different with our deal, banking is independent we just use the ipoker software.

Hope that helps Nick

Hi h

See my previous post to Eck

As for tier 1 or 2 this is to be decided it depends on how we fit with the network.
What I do know is that's its only certain cash games around the 1-2 2-5 level that are only in the top tier all other games and tourneys are shared, there is still substantial liquidity on both levels for our players.
Obviously will know more in the next few weeks

Nick

thanks for reply  no problem
the last time i played much on i poker was when blonde were on it
so aqua did ring a bell and ipoker 1 ipoker 2 thing past me by so go-ogled it today wouldn't make any diff to me i don't cant play cash

was tonight's last £300 sat on boss ? as tomorrows in lobby

Thanks for the swift reply's, will do my best to play on DTD if i get my back to putting some volume in.

We don't have the exact date yet £300 sats are still in the boss lobby each night until we are up and running.

Hi

We will continue to run the boss room until the end of June, plenty of time to withdraw funds then re deposit in the new room.
Any fops on boss can still be spent up until that date.
We will close the old room down and all accounts will be locked when the boss software  goes off line

Cheers

Its the other way round, unless things have changed. Everything below NL 2-4 is split: http://pokerfuse.com/features/in-depth/ipoker-2-split-extensive-faq-for-players/

Cheers Gazza - still working on how the thing works - will keep you all posted

Worth noting that although the purported idea behind the network "split" was to protect the recreational players in Tier 1, unsurprisingly enough of the stronger players have just moved across meaning that in recent months Tier 2 has actually been shown (by the network) to be "fishier"

Poker players at Nottingham super club Dusk Till Dawn's online site can look forward to more satellites, greater liquidity and access to even bigger tournaments courtesy of a new poker room created by Genting Alderney.
The three-year agreement will see the new Dusk Till Dawn site move to the iPoker network next week and join Genting Poker, Poker Encore and Circus Poker under the Genting Alderney umbrella.


“Working with a strong brand such as Genting ensures that our flexible approach provides the best possible service to our customers,” said Dusk Till Dawn chief Rob Yong. “Online poker remains an increasingly competitive market and access to iPoker through Genting means we can offer a broader range of events tailored to the needs of our customer base.”


Dusk Till Dawn will be kicking off on iPoker next week with the launch of its Golden Chip satellites for the £100K March Grand Prix. 230 seats will also be guaranteed for the Midland venue's March £300 £150K GTE Deepstack.


“We are delighted to be working with Dusk Till Dawn,” added Peter Nolan, Managing Director, Genting Alderney. “They have been innovators in bringing live and online poker together, something Genting has developed throughout its network of clubs. They are an experienced company with loyal customer base and the agreement provides those players with access to the biggest online tournaments around.

ty tighty.

Hi Nick / Nicola

I've been trying to get in touch about how this affect affiliates.
Desperately need to get new banners sorted out as I have new depositing players in waiting.
Can you get in touch ASAP please?
Cheers

Adam

From when can we start download the new software? the DTD website still have the old one as of now!!!!

Hi Adam

We are working on the overall release at the moment Nicola will contact you directly when she is back from Holiday

We expect this to be very soon at the moment all our current sats are still on boss

Thank you Nick!

Do we have golden chip satellites yet?

DTD's new IPoker client isn't available to download yet, they will email everyone with the details and link when it is available, and post it on here

In the meantime £300 satellites are ongoing on the existing Online room, with GP sats to follow as soon as the new client is available, asap

There's huge other news about DTD and the relevant thread gets locked?? ???

Locked to save us deleting post upon post until such time as any speculation is confirmed

Its not news yet, and may not be at all.

Couple of mates play on a Mac and would like to know if DTD is gonna be available for their OS.  Apparently some iPoker skins run a browser client for Mac use.  Thanks

Fair enough, hope an explanation comes soon :-/

I think the answer to this is going to be no (at least for the time being). I've been chasing this for a while. Definitely won't launch with a browser option

Have seen that it was BS, relieved!

is the 300 online day 1a now going to be played on ipoker and not DTDpoker...and if yes.....can DTDpoker seats be used on the other site???

Great to see DTD move to a site with greater liquidity. Hopefully they won't be as impotent as the bookmaking skins I belong to who simply turn a blind eye to the continual crap you have to put up with from the ipoker software, continually crashing, incorrect payouts et all.

Gl Rob you'll need it!

Hi Smurf

Yes Day 1A and the £300 Megas will be played on iPoker. Any seats wwon previously can be used on the new software, I think we will issue you with a token for the seat you are owed and you will buy in via the lobby for your chosen day with the token :)

Cheers Nicola

Thought this would have been commented on by now??

https://docs.google.com/file/d/1GpQYJG6JdTGG_KSd0_FCCej64d5MKihYH2ECqSiPcNtFf3MIx7zuNWTa3Md5/preview?pli=1

It has been, I copied the press release onto this thread a couple of days ago

sigh, sorry, missed it, I see now

"Dusk Till Dawn to Launch on the iPoker Network with over 200 x £300 Deepstack Seats Guaranteed worth over £75,000"

Is this still likely to happen with day 1a only a week away and the ipoker site launch taking longer than you expected? :dontask:

(i noticed a get out as you didn't specify which £300 deepstack)  ;mexicanwave;

I heared yesterday that you can only reg one bank card on one I poker skin across the board this may cause problems for people like myself with only one bank card and allready reg with genting

Hope this is not the case and there's a way round this

We will have to wait and see I believe there are in dtd today doing training ext so we find out soon

This can't be true.  I have used 4 different ipoker skins and never had a problem.

I am self excluded from genting will this affect my registering a new account with DTD or are they totally seperate/independent? TY

just tried to join the ipoker and it wouldn't let me as my email address etc is already associated with another skin (grosvenor casinos) the chat lady said this shouldn't happen and they are working on a fix so i will try again later.

It definitely will. Might be worth contacting Genting now to see when you are self excluded untill. If you requested a permanent exclusion I'm not sure it's possible to undo this but if you asked for a year or any other set amount of time you may be able to get back early by giving X amount of notice (or if not, after the exclusion has lapsed)

If they're using different payment systems then it might be alright, but there might be an issue if it's the same payment system - in this case both with Genting? (I'm just guessing here).

Hi Guys

DOWNLOAD IS HERE...............

Please download and create an account by clicking the link here - http://bit.ly/13lJ7Pc

If you have any problems give me a shout on here or contact our live support here - http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/contact.php

Grand prix satellites are available (for you personally david) and £300 Deepstack satellites....MEGA SATS running from Sunday 50 seats a night!!!

Enjoy :)

Cheers Nicola

I have a problem with the e mail address, is this getting sorted or do we have to use a new one?

same here...wont allow me to register with my current email as i already use it on another ipoker skin

Just come on support and we will allow the duplicate

Thanks Nick, sorted, excellent service as usual.

Any Rakeback deals?

Hi

We don't offer rakeback we haven't done since we opened DTD

We are working on our points scheme at the moment so please keep an eye on the website for our VIP offers

We have over £75k of seats available for the deepstack this should be enough value to wet the appetite

Good luck

Not Sure if this has been covered but think it will be relevant to a lot of players with i poker having so many skins

My Alias is FUN4FRASER on DTD but is also FUN4FRASER on Paddy Power which of course is also i poker skin.I dont use the Paddy Power account often (normally for satelites to the Irish Open or the odd Sunday Major)

Id like to transfer my FUN4FRASER alias to the new DTD i poker skin but assume it wont let me duplicate when I download the new software

Hopefully support can intervene ?

Pretty sure a few people will be in the same boat

I think if an alias is already in use on the ipoker network then you have to choose another.

the email issue has been sorted thanks...only problem now is that the card i use for internet/poker transactions is now being declined because it is already registered with another skin.

if i log back on are support able to help...my only other card is from my current/mortgage account which i never use over the net...failing this i am going to have to use the wifes and we all know the trouble that could cause.

if support can help i will do it later

do you have moneybookers or paypal? think you can duplicate these on any! however, if you ring up the site where you have that card registered, they can delete this card from your account and then you can re register it on DTD. This is 100% the case don't let them tell you otherwise as I used to do some work for oneway poker and this was a common problem!

i have paypal on ebay...i can look at that cheers

Paypal isn't a deposit option unless you can somehow combine it with Neteller or Moneybookers

UKash is an option?

Can I log into DTD with my Encore/Circus log in or cdim?

No you will need to create a new account. If you have a problem with using the email just let us know and we will sort for you support@dusktilldawnpoker.com

i just created a new gmail account to use for this

As long as you're able to get on and get that Golden Chip we're happy ;)

Hi Smurf

yes support will be able to move your card to the DTD cashier

Think I'll be up to Evilpie8 when I sign up.

Not Token Pole for Woodsey?

Lolz Token :D

Without doubt my favourite Southpark character but I had to explain it too many times to keep it when I sign up.

I might take that one cheers  :P

I'm in and have funds in place. All I need now is the time...

Any idea on timing for launch of Mac/ipad software

i had same problem frazor had to use smokynutz on dtd insteed of smokynuts whitch i normally use and have on genting

Confused!

I downloaded ipoker version but now I don't have the old version??

The old version has a balance of £6 which is below the minimum cash out value of £20 so how do I get that £6 over to the ipoker version?

How do i get the old version of the software back??

this for me too :(

If you go to www.dtdpoker.com you can re-download the old software to sort out your funds :)

When you say sort out your funds, what do we do?  Download the old software and transfer it over to the ipoker account - how is that done?

Edit: It isn't - you can just withdraw any funds to your bank account, you don't transfer it.

FUNK4FRASER

FUN4FRAS3R

FUN4FR4SER

sorted..just need to spin my £6.90 up or bust it trying :)

thanks for the help...email sorted...bank card sorted...new alias...game on.

helpdesk was extremely helpful

hi Newey, please email support@dusktilldawnpoker.com - we have a few people in the same boat and will look at each case with Genting, cant promise anything but you know we will do our best, Nicola is expecting your email - Rob

+1

Oioiiii new name. MilliBink is gonna crush.

I know it seems pedantic but I am paid to be pedantic. When you sign up to the new DTD software the system requirements at the bottom left of the page read Windows Visa as opposed to Vista.. Get him sacked!

Someone probly already asked this but...
Any sign up bonus or anything like that?

No.

50 seats gtd per night in Online megas for next weeks deepstack, tons of other stuff coming

worth a lot more than a sign up bonus!

anyway to change the account currency To $ from £. going to get bummed on transaction fees

TY. Please try cos I will be gutted if not allowed to play ur site.

MrMasterful is in da house.

Incredible value.

What is the current ruling on holding on to deepstack seats?

Would love to try the sats next week, but no chance of playing March, but could probs play April.

Thanking you

What's happened to the DTD website?

The "live club" tab seems to have been removed.

The link is there, but a bit hidden.  It's under the drop-down menu, and think it just says "Dusk Till Dawn".  Not the best signposting for usability really.

(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc43/kinboshi/link-dtd_zps3508f057.png)

Think the top menu needs a little tweak to include the link to the 'live club'.

What a great, & apt, Screen Name.

You will be fine Stuart. It's 60 days on £300 Deepstack Tokens and 30 days on Deepstack £30 Feeder Tokens

With us being a 95% UK customers - I think the wallet must be in £ sterling. However I don't understand why you will get 'bummed' - can you explain please?

Thanks Rob

DTD POINTS - It says 'players will receive' privileges based on their VIP level'.

But what are those privilieges?   Say for VIP level 7.  tyia

We will run promos for players to reach higher VIP levels, at the mo the priority is to get players on and then get everyone to VIP 10 :)

Ok thanks, I understand your v busy with the switch no doubt, but to entice players who rake a fair a bit saying 'we run promos' etc needs more info and exact figures etc.

Sure you'll do so when you have chance :)

Yep these will be announced as soon as we have them :)

Can I still download the old boss software from somewhere?

are there any plans for freeze out golden chip sats to the grand prix...had a few goes on the £2 rebuys they tend to become shove fests quite quickly...not complaining...just asking.

Does that mean that three feeder wins can be used for buyin, rebuy and addon?

Hi Stuart

Details of the new token system here - http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/satellite-winners.php

£336 tokens have a 60 day expiry

Hi David

You can't use a £30 token for a rebuy or add-on as they are different value (no juice) bit of a shame but as it's not £33 exactly it won't accept it, but you have 30 days to play them so winning multiple are not a problem :)

Thanks Nicola

Winning multiples is actually a problem, but that's a different issue..

Played a few comps tonight, can't tell you how great it is to get onto i poker.

I cant play the march deepstack either  :(, will the april deepstack be the last week of april?
many thanks

Deepstacks have always been the first weekend of the month brother.

No idea why I feel the need to call you brother, must be a night of listening to Rastafish on the cash game live stream :(

Hi Guys

Here is Rob's blog, it took him a long time to compose, so please give it a thorough read :)

Rob explains the move to iPoker  - http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/blog.php?profile=4&id=407

Cheers Nicola

Thanks for being so open here Rob. I hope that the tie in with Genting delivers all that you hope for and no unintended consequences.
You have so much to be proud of at DTD - the standards keep rising and you keep delivering. I sat in a tourney on my last visit and realised that your team were running four tournaments simultaneously. Perfectly. Contrast that to my visit to a well known regional casino last month where they couldn't provide sufficient dealers for a game that had been planned for months, nor run more than a couple of cash tables for the 40-50 people who wanted them.
 
(My only gripe is that getting all the decent players who refused to play on Boss involved in the satellite programme is -EV for me, but I'll get over it, and even I should be able to win a seat when there's 50 seats guaranteed)

Has anyone tried running the application via Wine on a Mac?

i have tried it drinking wine on my lap top...that worked ok.

What happens if you win 2 mega sats token? can we use the token to play on two different days???

  em yes but could please stop winning all the sats and give the rest of us a chance ;)
from link posted earlier
"Feeder Tokens > Satellite Finals


Players can play online feeders throughout the day for entry into the online satellite finals. If a player wins entry into the satellite final they will receive a token for that specific satellite final.

To claim the token players must buy in to a satellite final of their choice within 30 days of winning it. After 30 days the token will no longer appear in the players account if unspent.

Tokens can only be used for the initial entry into the satellites, tokens cannot be used for rebuys or add-ons as they are of a different value."

Thank you! getting the feeder tokens to sat finals is what I was after... :-)

yes so feeder sat tokens last 30 days so can buy into as many mega sats as you like

then if you win mega sat you got 60 days to use them

This is correct :)

I better watch my job with Hugh around ;) just be careful with the expiry dates guys don't win too many seats especially for the GP as only 7 can be won (only 7 chances to play).

Cheers Nicola

Thanks for the info bro ;) missed the live stream cash game hopefully they put it on you tube so i can catch up with it there.  ;popcorn;

Hi Guys

Don't forget 50 seats Guaranteed tonight :)

You must download the new software  - http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/download-ipoker.php

Create a brand new account (unless you have already) :)

Then you must tell all of your poker friends to do the same!! :P

With 230 x £300 Deepstack seats available this week you'd be mad to miss out :O

Any questions give me a buzz or email support@dusktilldawnpoker.com

Cheers Nicola

Sorry if this question as already been asked but. . . . .  

how can I get funds from my current DTD (boss) account into any new account DTD (ipoker) that I set up without incurring any costs?

I deposit using a credit card which charge me 3% for "gambling transactions" Lets say I have an imaginary balance of £1000 in my old DTD account. If I withdraw using the method that I deposit means when I put the £1000 back into the new account, I would get charged £30.

What is the best way to get around this?

Thanks.

Im self-excluded on another ipoker site, and i have been informed this means i cant play on dtd ipoker is this correct?

not being a tight Yorkshire man :)

So long as you have not self excluded on Genting or another circus brand you should be ok

suggest you create the account and we will deal with it if there are issues

Nick

Already got a Genting account - DTD tables show up but say restricted - assume I have to download DTD ipoker client - how do I get the funds across thanks

Yes you will need a DTD account. You can do a player to player transfer from your Genting account as long as you are verified to use that service. If not give me a shout and I can sort it for you nicola@dusktilldawnpoker.com :)

WTF ?

It just randomly auto rebought for me in the 50 seat sat without me clicking anything ????????

I'm not grinding btw, playing two tables and didn't misclick rebuy, sigh.

i see my doom switch was transferable after all

do you have the auto top up - double rebuy (above chat box can't remember what it is called) box ticked?

Pretty sure I didn't have, deposited extra after started though so not 100%.

Meh, will just have to make sure to bink I guess.

DTD tab is in Genting however all DTD games a restricted you need to create a DTD account to access them

IF you have an account on both Skins you can use the player to player to transfer funds over to DTD

Lost my 5000 did not have an option to re-buy

Just kicked me off

?

Regards

M

i rebought and when i lost my 2nd 5000 it kicked me out too! only 1 rebuy then?

It's 1r1a.

yeah i knew that....right after i busted and checked :-)
doh

you are terrible....only slightly better than funforfraser and barryettanevile lol..... Rob Yongs knocking people out for fun too pmsl

Anyone else having problems with the lobby ? Says 71 left but when I checked stacks it was less, had to look at open tables to work it out, only actually 62 left in, pretty tilting.

Yeah, everyone's having the same problem.  I just made a bad decision based on the number of people left in - and I should have closed the lobby and opened it again to 'refresh' it, and I wouldn't have made the mistake.

Just needs a 'refresh' button if it's not going to automatically update (which it really should do as it's a basic part of the poker software).

Welcome to the ipoker lobby - about as accurate as Stevie Wonder playing darts!!!

It's been like that for two years but they're investigating it!!

I'm 44/55, sweats :)

The boss software was shockingly bad, but at least you knew how many people were in the tournament at any time!

Good luck.  You sure there are 55 left?

;)

Does tracking software work ok on ipoker?

That isn't Rob Yong its me.

You couldn't make it up. It says I went out in x position but is still showing more players left in than that position.


Never mind though they're "investigating" lol

theres 10 players less than what its showing. im 11/54 not 11/64 as it shows

Put this in wrong thread earlier:

Hate Ipoker with a passion.  Had 10 players showing as having chips that werent even in tourney   There chip stacks never moved for over an hour at least.   Had a different number in stats to what was left in by 10 positions

Have a look at screenshot.  Leicestertony and brynrodyn were not on any table and their chipstacks had not moved, apparently at this stage there were 67 people left in even though stats was showing 77 and 77 players were listed on the right.

Also players nickname got changed halfway through tourney on my table,  wtf!!!!!!!!!!

@nothappy.

Needs to be sorted to see me play on this s hite software again

Gotta be honest I think the software is miles better than boss, I would never play on there unless I had to, but I can see myself playing on i-poker fairly regularly.

Yes but I've found St Bernard's are more reliable ;)

That was my nickname that got changed... I wasn't allowed to have RobYong...so they asked me to change it

ha ha. You were answering people's questions earlier weren't you.

So tilting.

Came 54th, but made a couple of decisions based on thinking there were more players left than it appeared at around 70-75 left, when in fact there were only 60-65.

Would have had miles more chips, and probably could have folded to a seat.

Very unfair on lots of players in my view as it takes away your optimal satellite strategy if you can't actually see how many players are left.

DTD are always innovating in marvellous ways and it is great to see these satellites at such good value, just a shame that the software has led to some players making tournament-defining decisions based on innaccurate data from the software.

you just drink the brandy lol

Totally agree.  went on super tilt out 66th apparently

least it was not the bubble :(

The point Jase is I would have been nowhere near the bubble if I had known if was 60 left not 70 :(

Who do I need to contact for sorting to play in April please ?

Want to play Day1a online, thanks.

Yeah it's pretty brutal, I got lucky and noticed it was wrong with around 100 left but was still pretty hard work, ul.

I would make a good employee

yeah I do sympathis. I have a mate who is playing and I'm sat in bed and he is messaging me asking what the crack is. He is getting medium pairs and is clueless. I told him to switch the lappy off and go to bed. He is in 8 th or something and that was just as (you)Rudd posted out in 54th :(

the lobby definitely needs looking at as it was wrong all night...the game seemed to go on forever aswell but binked a seat in the end (brag) now just got to try and wake up at 630 for work.

look in cashier DTD Points you will have token reg which day you want

This is my biggest bug bear with I poker. It 100% better than boss and if they go this then it will be great. I avoid large runner comps on I poker so when I get down to 2-3 tables I can just count the people left in!

Ah ok, thanks.

yup....... Thin

Echo this. 

I was constantly closing and reopening the lobby to refresh it, but that didn't seem to work every time.  Also the issue highlighted above of half a dozen people who were out of the comp showing as still having chips throughout.

Like I said earlier, the ipoker software is generally better than boss, and there are more players on the network, etc., BUT, having a tournament lobby that works properly is pretty fundamental to any poker software isn't it?

where you Kinboshii ?

That wasn't me.

If you click on stats>more in chatbox it shows exactly how many runners left

Hey

Have you got another card you are able to withdraw onto, which doesn't incur the charges? You can change the card on your account if necessary, you will just need to make a deposit with a card once to be able to withdraw to it.

Have you got a moneybookers account or neteller account you could withdraw to?

Cheers Nicola

Hi

What are the late-registration restrictions on iPoker? As in, how many runners need to be in at the start in order for late-reg to be allowed?

I am only able to find some $2 feeders to the DTD deepstack in the lobby.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Hi Sausage

Sorry for the delay in replying to you, you can downlad the old software at www.dtdpoker.com and click the green button.

Cheers Nicola

Nicola,  feel free to respond to the concerns of many on here and also feel free to respond to the email I sent support last night

Regards

Thanks birthday boy. It doesn't help with the breakdown of the stacks of the remaining players, but better than nothing.

er hold on, I think Nicola has answered every question on here hasn't she? Feel free to quote any that still need answers...

Tighty:

Page 14 reply 198 regarding my complaints about the tournament and the software and complaints by others about the same thing

A personal email to support that has not been responded too

kinboshis reply 217 deserve a response as well I think

ok, well there's a discussion on the issue you raise on this thread (which is a very well known one on IPoker) and I am sure the support email will get a response. Its half a day after you posted after midnight on a Sunday, and I expect support is hectic to say the least

Shame as a newly signed up member to DTD on  ipoker that I wasnt "in the click" that knew about this well known glitch,

No doubt support will get in touch later today and respond to my concerns

Some of the posts in this thread have been rediculous!

Even if you aren't familiar to this I poker problem, the first time it happened to me it took me about 35 seconds to find out how many people were actually left. It's not like you have 10 seconds to get this info. People must surely start looking 60 out?!?!?

If you were half shrewd and not multi tabling, you would have the other tables open anyway!

Duncan its nothing to do with any "clicks".

The work around has been mentioned, stats>more in chatbox. Not perfect, but a better idea of the true situation than the lobby represents.

As I said I will wait for a response from support.   In 2013 you would think this would have been solved.

Outrageous:  Is it ridiculous to play half a tourney with the guy sitting on your left going by the name RobYong, apparently playing loose apparently without a care, maybe just making the numbers up,  only to to see his name change to DTDValet half way through the tournament.   How the hell does that happen???.  Now what do you think in my position,  thoughts of UB Superusers go through my head and yeah that affects my game.   No way should a name be able to be changed halfway through a tourney.   Yes I know now it wasnt him after the event BUT what do you think at the time.   not all of us spend our lives playing poker.  There are still recreational occasional useless playing fish like me at the tables

There are no restrictions, as soon as it hits the minimum runners (even if this is only 2) late reg will always run.

Well, if someone was called robyong, I'd think "lol nice try" and if he was loose Id 4 bet him from time to time

As for changing name, I'm not sure I'd have noticed tbh, but I agree it doesn't sound great. Just a misjudgement thou

Oh, and I'm very much recreational, many will confirm ;0)

Closing the lobby and reopening it helped refresh the details, but it didn't work every time (as I found out unfortunately).  Also, not everyone has enough space on their screen to have half a dozen tables open, plus the lobby, etc. - but I've learnt now and won't be playing on ipoker without having multiple screens available to give me space to do just that.

Hardly a rediculous [sic] post to suggest that this is something you'd expect one of the leading poker networks to have right in their software by now?

Have you got your fliters set to a low(ish) buy in level??

Some bright spark decided RobYong was a good alias to use. Ipoker made them change it.

Happy to refund you or anyone that has an issue with this.

Dunk - i think that's a little harsh on Nicola, she's put 18 hours in a day for the last week dealing with phone calls and emails and posts from players.

Cheers Rob

That might be it David, I tried to exclude micro-stakes but maybe I did the opposite..

pm sent Rob.

Rob,

Can I start by saying that DTD deserves every commendation it gets. It is an innovative, constantly evolving business which continues to lead its market in every facet. However, last night, there were clearly some issues which had an effect on some player's viewpoints, and I hope you don't mind me putting my thoughts across on this thread, which will attempt to summarise what I believe to be the major issue.

I think the main issue is not with the guy who got his nickname changed. To be honest, I can understand iPoker asking for it to be changed.

I think the main issue stems from the problem in the lobby, which for first time users of iPoker (myself included) was incredibly frustrating. The whole point of signing up for a lot of people was to try and win a seat through one of these fantastic satellites. The software is clearly superior to Boss, and the game itself was enjoyable for quite a while.

The issues arose when we were supposedly down to about 70 left, which is in fact 60 left. I myself for example had a couple of spots where I put a much higher percentage of my  chips at risk than I would have with only 10 players left to get knocked out, as I would have known I could fold into the money. As a result, by the time I realised there was in fact on 7 people to go, not 17, I was in a position where I couldn't fold my way home, and had to try and get lucky. I failed and busted in 54th.

This isn't a bad beat story, those hands could have played out another way and I could still go out early, but I do not think I am overexaggerating in saying this; if I had been aware that less players were in fact still in the tournament, I would have had a significantly higher chance of winning a seat into what is clearly the best comp at this buyin level in the UK.

I agree that anyone demanding answers from Nicola is being a tad unfair as she has been working incredibly hard on this, as shown by this thread, and she always replies to any question, however simple they may seem.

I would be interested to know DTD's take on the issues that are clearly there to see with iPoker's lobby, whether from yourself or Nicola or another of your excellent team.

I hope DTD continues to go from strength to strength. I love playing there, and I will be supporting this comp at the weekend regardless.

Cheers,

Ruud

Much love for Nicola xxxxxx

Thanks for getting back to me Nicola.

xxxxxxx

What have mac users been doing? Confirmed no mac client yes?

I seem to remember this kind of lobby problem being an issue on iPoker when I last played on their software about 3 years ago.

Think you have to use a PC emulator / Virtual PC thingywhatsit to play on a Mac at the moment.

this is probably true, all DTD can do is make representations to the network as all the skins do

Been there, got the T-Shirt

Overall though, IPoker player experience/likely effect on satellite numbers etc far outweights being on Boss, imo

Couldn't agree more - and as Ruud said, it's not a go at DTD at all. As always, these satellites are great value - especially these with 50 seats gtd.

As one of those who suffered because of the lobby issue I was merely saying that I was very surprised that such a large network as ipoker had an issue like this in 2013.

Hi Folks

I agree with you all however we are just at the beginning of a new adventure with Ipoker

We will as always be as honest as we can and make the relevant requests for fixes and improvments

What i have been told is this is a display error in the tournament lobby due to a refresh rate issue.
As a temporary resolve is to take a look at the table section of the lobby which will confirm the remaining number of players.

We have been assured by the iPoker Network technical team that they are working on fixing this as a matter of urgency.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused

Hope to see some of you tonight for more of the same....................Nick

it's often far easier to criticise than praise but in fairness to DTD the lobby issue has been raised and will no doubt be looked in to...as for the rest with help on here, help through the ipoker support, crazy overlays that are stuck to, well run tournaments and trying to cater for all levels of poker player you couldn't find a negative if you tried...they are always spot on...i don't know any of the staff there but i can imagine sometimes they look to the skies and think WTF do we bother.

LOL - ill pass those comments on smurf the office is crazy at the moment so that will cheer the folks up..in fact ill make em all a cuppa T now

Thanks for the love guys :) xx

I'll send some love to you all if we hit 50 seats tonight ;)

Get all your poker friends to sign up, the dog, the hamster....Numpty will be playing!!

Unless you haven't heard we have 50 seats guaranteed tonight for the £300 Deepstack - we gave away 22 seats last night, so crazy value all week.

Cheers Nicola

No matter how hard I try I can't find a frigging complaint from anyone of the 50 guys who got a seat :)

You didn't read Ray's posts then?

Please see

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=60444.msg1726169#new


Just like the Poker Stars improvement thread...all thoughts, moans, software glitches, freezes you see please note them on the new thread so DTD can use them when going to the network

thanks

Trying to log in and aaaarrrrrrggghhhh

david I have sent your details to Nicola, rather than you put them on the forum

Help!!!!!

look just coz it says mondonewc does not mean it was him :)

online support !
and might be best to delete user name and email !

I have REMOVED your e-Addy.

It is dangerous to publish e-addresses on the open Forum, especially given some of the mischief makers we have.

Ha, Tighty beat me to it.

Just common-sense.

Nicola has emailed you.

Good luck

Hi Guys

Only 13 mins to go til the BIG 50 SEATER MEGA SAT - £16,800 worth of £300 Deepstack seats and only 74 runners....Last night 1 in 3 won a seat and we gave away 22 for FREE.....
 
This is a one month only BIG promo for the software launch so please take advantage of the value, set up a new account here - http://bit.ly/13lJ7Pc

Hi,

thanks
leethefish

In for this.  This time it's serious ;)

Hi Lee

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/satellite-tokens.php

good luck

Is there no late reg?

i think his user name is worse....click on his name and his email is there

9.45pm Alan

yes open for 70 mins + breaks

Can you rebuy immediately or do you have to lose a chip or two first?

Do you have to click on auto-rebuy so as not to be kicked out if you lose you original stack and would that automatically rebuy if you do drop below your original stack?

TYIA

thanks Nick

My biggest frustration at the moment is getting the main lobby to sort tourneys in starting time order with the late reg ones above them like you see on stars. Been clicking the start and status tabs at the top of the screen but it all seems a bit random, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas the best way to do it?

Also, it would be nice if we could have an auto add on button for rebuy tournies please.  :)

Sorry boss, didn't see that thread.

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=60444.0

Thanks Richard.  Just got my account set up and deposited. Now struggling to find the tourney in the lobby.  Is it in satellites?  Any tips on how to find it much appreciated.

Click the Dusk till dawn tab on the left

click Deepstack

there you go

Just redic, self exc from circus poker now cant play on dtd abso crazy!!

new acct>?

Many thanks Nick.

Speak to DTD, they've helped others who have also self-excluded from Genting.

I have PM'd you

Not sure how 'crazy' this is?

If you had self-excluded due to a need to break an addictive cycle then being able to circumvent that self-exclusion simply by registering through another skin or affiliate would be ridiculous.

Haha yeh this!

I disagree! You can exclude for loads of reasons! I have currently self excluded on stars and tilt for 6 months and it has nothing to do with "addictive cycle"

 ;carlocitrone;

haha! Ok its just me! UL buddy!

Sitting here chipped up 125k

Everyone is timing out


#justwantsleep

Regards

M  

[ ] Thin.

Just sit out and go to bed.  You can fold to a seat now.

Just made a seat with just over 2 BB left and about to go through the blinds.

one guy dusted off 125K (top 5 stack) with 9 players left!!! surely not MPOWER?!

that was painful squeeky bum time at the end - one guy got through with 2 antes left!

Somehow managed to scrape a seat.

Was sat 51st of 51 and had to bink a set with QQ vs KK.

Everybody was so happy for me :)

karma almost bit my arse with 51 left called shortie with kk who shall remain nameless  lost to qq but no problm then power cut          arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
came back on dongle with bowl   but got a seat

Was time banking it for you H. Wouldn't have done it for myself but anything for a fellow blonde.

ty am still snap calling you lol

FYP

Not the point though Guy - if your reason to self-exclude from a specific skin/affiliate was along the lines of an aversion to the colour scheme in the lobby, or to the B&M offering then having that lifted via an exchange of PMs and emails seems reasonable. This is what seems to be happening here.

My point was that having self-excluded it shouldn't be possible to work around that without having to have some dialogue with the site(s).

Yeah, think that was him. He was the clear chip-leader with about 60 to go and kept getting involved. Ended up tangling with joint biggest stack AIP with JJ v AKs. Turned flush left him with a bowl and he was soon gone.

Thanks to Dewi for the tip about the stats for keeping an eye on the actual number of runners left in. Managed to get a seat with less than a BB after the blinds passed through and I watched the last player go on the bubble with virtually the whole table calling and then checking it down.  Think I played one hand in the last hour and it was looking like I'd misjudged it slightly at one stage.

It's been posted in the improvement thread, but the software definitely needs an "auto addon" check box. The addon break sort of appears when it's scheduled to in the lobby, but not exactly and I saw players miss out on it.

Silly question...

Do I need to sign up and get a new account if I have a William Hill/Genting account or can I play on their skin for DTD sats?

Yes you need a new dtd account

fk me trying to sign up, absolutely detest these websites/services that think they know security. really helps to add a number to a password, especially when it's limited to 10 characters, what is this moron shit. sdasdfasdfa

you can play the sats through genting tho Dewi. I may have to do this tonight as there seems to be a little confusion as to being able to use AlexGoulder as my name on the new Dtd site :(

dont you lose out on the last longer then?

Bad day?

meh signed up, recieved a login code, copy pasted it, opened the software, cant paste into the box/clipboard has lost it. So now i'm stuck in limbo, cant log in, cant reset the password as I don't have a username yet, what it doooooooo??


edit no smurf I just detest inept security measures which reduce usability rather than increase security.

not got a chance anyway says the wife.


Yeah realised this and just trying to sort it with Sophia via email now :)

The free Monte Carlo seat chucked in  is another amazing gesture.

i managed it ok. Just sayin :)

oh yeh I know it's a farce right!!

tis uber fun to be this fishy


edit sok found my login code in spam emails. legoooo operation losing monies

Is it sdasdfasdfa?

No need to thank me.

no it was titbeansafkingtwattybagISIT

THANKS anyway xx

<3

Hi Just to avoid confusion Jason you can NOT play the DTD events while on the genting software they are showing in the lobby but can not play.

Please let us know if this is any different on your machine / PC

I am excluded permanently from genting and therefore not able to play on the new DTD site. I think this  is unfair as I definately have never or wud never ask to be excluded from DTD. I am desperate to play the sattelites etc and cant bare the thought of missing opps to qualify monte carlo etc.  Is it poss to register account under girlfriend name and get the seats for myself or is this fround upon, definately not allowed, illegal, could get shot for? ty

You have to lose a couple of chips so that you're below 5,000 chips.

You will be given the option to rebuy when you lose all of your chips even if you don't have auto-rebuy on, unless you have already had your rebuy as this is restricted to 1 rebuy.

Hi Newy

Nick has mentioned that if you create an account with DTD, we will then be able to look at your account on an indivisual basis. Please let Nick know once you have created an account with us :)

You won't be able to use someone elses name as this isn't allowed, we won't shoot you though (not in this country ;)) please bear with us and we will do everything we can for you.

Cheers Nicola

Hi Newy - i PM'd you if you want to get this sorted

I have tried downloading and opening new ac by clicking link on dtd site but after 1st page it says I already have email address associated with this site and I am not allowed 2 (or words to that effect) what do i need to do?

support can sort this Newey as i had the same issue with email

ty

oh ok. Will have to play on Dtd then. Been told I could not use AlexGoulder, so I radomly made up the name Nick Whitten :)

That should be okay as I believe the DTD guy spells it differently ;)

fml I googled it as well.

Sophia can I have a 4th name change please. I ain't actually played on the site yet. Should win a seat no problem tonight. :)

Just click support we will sort it

Hi
Can you not use the same Debit Card for DTD and Genting?

Trying to deposit and can't?

Hi No

options are move it to DTD or do a Player to Player transfer - click support and they will sort it right away

i had same issue
no cannot have same card associated with 2 accounts support can sort but then you would need to do player to player transfer to get funds onto or off genting  
to do player transfer you would need to be verified (sent acceptable picture and address id)

oops to slow

First time playing on the new software.. Seems pretty deece to me. Definitely more intuitive and fluid than Boss.

All sorted.

Thanks To all.

How do you get the addon?

Think the option will pop up v soon Ralph, watch the bottom of the table for the button to appear.

End of next level.

Cheers had to sit out waiting for it happier now :)

I have boldy on my table...

Dunc what would it matter if somebody's screen name is robyong, davidcameron philhellmuth. You levelled yourself into thinking because this person is playing aggressive poker that maybe you could get some chips off this person 'easier' and you made a terrible bluff which he exploited which crippled your stack, now your moaning about it?
It shouldn't matter what somebody's name is... I am RASTAFISH on the French pokerstars and its laughable that because if te block capital name and avatar, people assume that I'm crazy, yet it couldn't be any further from the truth.
There was an Oscar Pistorious playing too but I didn't assume that he would be playing just like nobody should make assumptions based in a name, and if you did then tough luck IMO.

I was as surprised as you when the name changed halfway through but I did type in the chat box that ipoker asked me to change it.

Concentrate on how your playing your own game rather than trying to take advantage of a perceived easy spot because you thought it could be Rob playing to make the numbers up.

Simon Trumper used to play in the other satalites but was he there to make the numbers up? No he played as good as he could so why would 'rob' play any worse?

Your frustrations should be with the lobby issues not somebody's screen name, and if you PM'd Rob asking for your money back then that's a complete joke and I will personally give you te money back for your satalite as its not Rob's fault or mine that you got knocked out it was you, but I'll give you your £30 back if only to stop your moaning at Rob, Nicola or anybody else from DTD.

They put a hell of alot into the poker industry and have completely changed the uk tournament structures and put on huge gtd's with huge losses yet we don't hear them moaning.

P.s. I had to laugh at your UB "superuser" thoughts ran through your head and it affected your game. Yeah if Rob had "superuser" abilities on ipoker...I'm sure he would be playing a £30 satalite into his own £300 deepstack. Are you for real!?

Anyone know the 'trick' to get the correct number of players left. Clearly some in the lobby list who aren't there ?

Found it I think

Absolute joke tonight, worse than boss. £90 for a £336 seat where genting is $55 for £430 seat, I know where my money is going next time. You do great things for poker but I'm sorry, your online sats wont be getting another penny from me.

 :dontask: I played it as a freezeout for £33, you can choose the rebuy or not, don't forget the big overlay.

Er.. They're giving seats away. 40 so far, not including tonight.

More value in these than pretty much any satellites on offer anywhere at the moment. More feeders running and more play in a DTD satellite too.

You know you have to beat a higher proportion of the players in the genting sats to win a seat?

Roughly one in four will get a seat in DTD, whereas more like one in eight will get a seat in Genting.

There's also massive overlay in DTD seats so they're giving away seats for free basically.

I don't think you've come to the correct decision to be honest.

This thread is tilting me so much!!!!

Didn't you realise this when you bought in for £30, had a rebuy for £30 and an add on for £30!!??
Like the guy above said...play it as a £30 freezeout if you think it's not worth £90! But to be honest DTD have given away over £10,000 worth of seats in these satalites so I think it's totally unfare to slam DTD and big up Genting when Genting aren't offering 50 seats a night.

Like somebody said earlier...I bet the guys at DTD thought...right everybody bins the Boss software so we will move to ipoker...everybody bins ipoker.... Well we will give away a shit load of seats for free and yet people still find things to moan at. Infuriates me. I bet sometimes Rob, Nick, Simon and Nicola think fuck it, why do we bother!?
Can't please nobody and anybody nowadays.

no chance it's worse than boss. shoulda gone to specsavers.


to check 'up to date' tournament info rather than using the lobby,

click STATS ->  MORE  in the chat box area. A pop up appears with the tournament info on the right hand side.

Okay

Genting is actually £50 (not $) for a £440 seat, 1 in 8 players get a seat, 2 seats gtd to an event with a £100K gtd

DTD is £30 (average spend was £60 tonight) for a £336 seat, 1 in 4 players got a seat, 50 seats gtd into an event £150K gtd

In the DTD satellite 50 out of 196 players won through the £2 feeder route

Suggestions please anyone, happy to review sattelites for next Deepstack, we can make them £50 / £60 freezouts but then players who want to try 1 bullet will be excluded, or we could do £30 freezeouts and drop to less seats?

Aces

I wouldn't bother trying to defend it Simon, anyone with half a brain knows you guys are doing an awesome job and offering us great value to tempt us over to I-poker. You've got my business on there for sure now you have moved.

I also echo the thoughts of LB44 regarding people complaining when you are trying your best, I know you welcome constructive comments that are valid and do your best to look at them.

absolutely this

lb44 crushing the last few pages. wp.

+++++1

He's RobYong innit.

Plus 100%. I hate ipoker but don't need to see why the move was made and what great value these satts are.

And not just cos I binked one :)


Thin......

Hey Tim - any thoughts on iPoker?

this may be a shot in the dark but as You already had Nivarna as your name on Dtd or ipoker, when you downloaded the new software to try and stay anon for a while to gain an advantage over those that knew you already, you devised the cunning plan to call yourself Nivarnan?

I got a seat too but not until I had spent my last £30 in the add on break of a bloody re buy instead of the add on ffs. Talk about kissing 5000 chips good bye.

The way I read this thread it appears a few players felt genuine frustration with their customer experience, particularly with issues concerning the lobby. Most reasonable folk will deduce that the ipoker skin has some technical issues and all DTD can do is feedback their customer's problems to the network. I see that they want to do this and are encouraging feedback via a separate thread so fair play.

Dealing with customers frustrations when things go wrong is just a normal part of running a business and in fact this information is useful and valuable if you want to move forwards. I don't see why any normal discussion like this needs to turn into a propaganda frenzy about how DTD have changed the landscape of poker and healed the world. If you discourage the normal moans and groans how does a business improve? In short, some people didn't know how many players were left in a comp, some names were changed mid-game, and the add-on system wasn't clear. I am sure both DTD and their customers want these issues resolved moving forwards. Chastising people for being frustrated and then saying how hard everyone works at DTD and how great life is because they're around is just not necessary. Can everyone just be normal pls.

This sausage character has obv spunked a hundo into it and didn't get a seat. That is it.

one can forgive you for mistaking moaning with constructive critisism.

I didn't slam DTD at all. I said how they do great things for poker. I will continue to travel from Manchester to play there but I won't be playing this 1rebuy/1add on again. Like many other players, I'd much prefer to see a freezeout. Unless you get very lucky the add on is a must to stand any sort of chance as it increases most stacks by 50/100%. Has the move to ipoker been a success? will the 4/1 ratio be there next month? Will they continue to give so many seats away with such big overlays? Nobody can knock what the DTD team have done for poker in the UK so please don't take my post the wrong way xx

Hi Sausage.

Leaving aside the guaranteed number of seats in this month satellites, the problem with freezeout satellites (certainly on Boss) is they wouldn't generate the seats into the target event

Obviously in a world where Many hundreds of players are trying to satellite in, freezeouts would be good, but the 1R1A is need to generate the prize pool, currently

I'd assume a reason, amongst others, to move to IPoker would be to increase player numbers such that DTD can have a lot more flexibility on satellite buy-in options for players

I just do not know if it is value really. It's a lot of money for the sat for the prize.

50 seats is good, but sats elsewhere aren't usually about 3.5 x sat buyin. Although you can play it as 30 FO or just with addin, if I play I won't be in for full 90.

However mr sausage, you could have said it in a much nicer way! :)

just roffle! I think what you and Mr S mean, is that you dont want to pay £90 - then dont!

As for it being value - I actually railed it last night as a bit of homework and I can guarantee (although this is largely irrelevant) it is softer than the Genting sats.

Finally  - VALUE - I dont know the numbers - im sure  dtd will confirm - but they are probably going to overlay circa 60 seats this week! If you and Mr S had any idea of value - you would know which sat to play!

(as an aside I am not knocking Genting - i really like their tour and satts - but the comments made are again.............................r (im not even going to say it!)

DTD have made an amazing promotional offer this week - the likes of which I cant remember in terms of guaranteed satty seats - in full knowledge they will have  huge overlays!

has anyone else had an email off DTD asking to confirm there age since downloading the new software?

It is your opinion it is value, guy.

I'm not sure.

It's a harsh buyin for a satellite, but I suppose that's why they guarantee the amount of seats.

it really isnt opinion!

you're just wrong. value it IS.


expensive relative to buyin maybe, but it is still providing incredible value.


with some of the play I saw yesterday I can see how even herbie wins a seat so regularly, I had to check I wasn't on the play money tables throughout.

I'd probably agree with you about the play if I could just make the add on.

wow at some of the posts in this thread!

I would just like to say I think the 1r1a format is great - plz keep it this way. 25% of the field is gone before the add on!

a happy medium between a straight up rebuy and a freezeout

You can always satellite into the mega sat via the £2 feeders as well.

Getting bored of your constant levelling/trolling

How can it not be value when DTD are literally giving away free money.

Its true you could just spend £33 on a single buy in  receive 5000 chips  go on to build a stack and win a seat , although I think its fair to say to be + EV you need to take the add on ( 10000 chips for £30 ) so for most it would cost £63.

So 3 scenarios

1  1 buy in  = £33
2  1 buy in and a top up £63
2  1 buy in  and a re buy and a top up  £93

Obviously the more runners the satelite gets then the more the "value" gets diluted but based on the number of players entered in previous nights  it doesnt need a maths genius to work out  thats this is great value for money especially if you can minimise your buy ins.

If astonishes me that people want to argue about the facts........  anyway  keep up the good work DTD

Sure to have a chance at getting a seat you probably need to add or everyone around you suddenly jumps up their stack... Even then you are paying £63 to try and get in to a £330 tourney so you would have to fail five times to not get any value.

We are all entitled to an opinion - I got in and can now play a tourney I wouldn't normally be able to. Is it too simple to say "fair enough, don't play it then"

Aaron, value in these satellites is easily calculated. In simple terms, DTD are offering a guaranteed £16,800 prize pool this week and there has been an overlay every night so far.
They're also offering cheap ways into the main satellite. I was in last night for £4.20 and had I managed to get my add-on (my fault not theirs) would have been confident of winning a seat for a spend of £34.20

Genting are offering a guaranteed £880 with zero overlay.

I have spent £93 3 times now and failed to get a seat :D With donkeys like me in the field, I assure you, the value is there  ;letsparty;

Are seats won still non-transferable?

Lets do some basic maths ...so based on 150 runners last night

                                                    50 seats guaranteed  x  £336   = £16,800

Lets assume everybody has a buy in and an add on  = £63  x 150    = £9450

I know there are variables but feel its fair guesstimating so overlay  = £7350  x 4 nights  = quite a lot  :)

Great Value in my eyes but no doubt there will be "other view points"

 






                                    

Hello

Sooooooooooooooooo hard to please everyone, do we do unlimited re-buys, freezeouts, 1R 1A, do we do a mixture of all formats, and what price:prize ratio do we do, is it 1 in 20, 1 in 10 or 1 in 5 players get a seat.

For Mega Sats 20 + seats -  the "norm" is 1 in 5, for example PokerStars are doing a 20 seat GTE UKIPT sat and they have pitched it at £150 + £12 to win £700 + £70, this could also be a £75 + £8 1R 1A and get the same average spend, which opens it up to a few more players who have not qualified in the feeders.

For 50 seats, we did the £30 1 R 1A, the average spend has been £58 - £62 per player, its' is about 1 in 5.5 average, personally, I think this is better than a £60 FO option, which excludes players who want to have 1 bullet of £30, I also think its better than a £30 freezeout, because that is only a 1 in 11 chance and less seats would be on offer.

We can do anything we want satellite wise/ format wise, however I do think we may be close to "optimum" with this 1R 1A format for Mega Satellites, however the daily satellites for the first 3 weeks should be cheaper IMO, offering 1 in 10 chances or 1 in 20, a £15 1R 1A would offer a 1 in 11 chance - maybe we could do these for the first 3 weeks then every bankroll has a choice? I prefer 1 in 5 personally because I have limited time to try again, but everyone has difference preferences.

Having moved to ipoker Simon is going to review all of the satellites, so this is all good feedback for us, criticism helps also because often its warrented and we have missed something, we do have a small hands-on team and do overlook/miss things.

Cheers Rob

P.S. Sausage -these guys are correct with the poker maths, these sats have been are great + ev/value (DTD have been effectively giving £336 seats away for £224)

P.P.S. Aaron - noooooooooooooo comment

This is a forum, someone else's view of value is different to everyone else's.

The fact that its likely to cost £93 puts me off personally. Everyone has a different view of everything, but generally I am a direct buyin anyway.

I probably am used to other sats being a lot cheaper and worth 10-20x more than buyin, etc. stars and so on.

If 90% of the field are happy with it, then keep it going, which it looks like it is!

Just lol at this, its the best value you will find anywhere. You do know you can enter feeder sats for £2 if you are worried about paying to much? And they are running all day!

I don't think dtd need to change anything in there sat program personally, 1R 1A is the perfect solution to meet most peoples requirements. You of course can not please everyone, some people just don't see the value right in front of there eyes. (you silly sausage) ;D

I'm sure this has been covered, but with regards to the old software, do I just have to withdraw my measly funds and then deposit on the new account or will they be carried over? 

The former, create a new account and withdraw/deposit. the funds aren't carried over

That's great thanks, just wanted to check.

do we have to deposit to withdraw if we only have an old card registered with boss?


rly rly don't want to deposit, as only have a bowl on there, my disgust for them means I don't just wanna punt it off to save the hassle of withdrawing. ta

send an email to nicola@dusktilldawnpoker.com see if they can transfer

try not to use the words moron, disgust and ajdihbwdnhbkknaa;a.

Cheers

I have £4.06 in my account on the old software.

I tried to withdraw and it said:

Max withdrawal £4.06

Min withdrawal £20.00


You're all morons and I'm disgusted.

ajdihbwdnhbkknaa;a.














I love you really  ;)

Are the seats transferable?
first time I have played in months and the standard is just the same as always. I have mates that struggle to spell poker and they have all got seats into this. I really struggle to see how it can be anything other than value when there is so much overlay.

There must be 20 people each night who don't even make it to the add on. My advice would be to late reg at the last minute. If you spend the full £90 you will have 20k chips at 10pm and be around 35th. From there its just a case of finding the spots to increase your stack comfortably then Roberts your mothers brother.

Gl everyone playing tonight.

Please deposit £20 in and then withdraw the full balance - this is best way to clear the account
We would need to do this when we close the software down in June so may as well get it out of the way now

Thanks

Tom be good if you could do the same?

Thanks

Anyone with a bowl amount in their account can always try and spin it up on black jack. Saves a lot of hassle

thats true however we could do a chunk LOL then have to pay out

lol. You are such a pessimist Nick. :)

So you can play DTD satelites on Genting? will my Genting username work on DTD?  can't really see any point having a DTD account now may as well keep all money in one place.

you can't actually play them on Genting although they appear in the lobby

ahh right, good job i didn't try to register then, best sign up for DTD then.

Anyone else have connection issues on DTD Ipoker. Just downloaded software and usually been playing on the betfair site, but happy to support DTD instead as I don't rake enough too bother looking around for deals..

Tried playing this evening speed and tourny and just kept having disconnection issues, yet the betfair one was ok when I loaded that up.

We are working on splitting the DTD comps from Genting this is stage 2 of the operation, as always these things prove more difficult than first envisaged.

Defo need a DTD account to play DTD events

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I found £57.56 in my DTD account, that's my biggest score for weeks :)

Had £6.80 in old account, span it up to £12.80 on roulette, deposited £10 and withdrew £22.80 simples :)

sorry Nick :)

rofl i'd happily have it go towards the update fund, I just don't want boss to have it!!!

:)up

wait sorry



goddam moron titbeam aaraelwrhasfdjkgalksdgjasg IRIOT etc

You have to register a new card# and it took me fifteen minutes to figure out how to do it.

Let me know if you find it simple.

If you bink a seat and get the £300 token....  Can you cash this in and use for other DTD games both Online and Live???

Sorry if already been explained.

Hi No sorry £300 tokens are only for £300 deepstacks - just bink a seat and play it online form the comfort of you own home

worst post ever made in history anywhere?

just downloaded new software and contacted online support when i had a minor setback but i am a noob and they dealt with the matter within minutes.. thankyou Nick

Registered for the Mega sat and ya cant fault the value.

One Time  ;pokergods;

You don't read Herbie's posts then?

bazinga!!!

correct :-)

oh please....this is getting pretty close to bullying now

Sausage has to be levelling right?

Was on tilt obv  :)

lol That post was typed with a sprinkle of frustration. As pointed out, I had spunked £93 and was on tilt.  There cant be many members on here that hasn't experienced the ridiculous bad beats playing Internet poker. However, I still stand by what I said and won't be entering that sat again. I'm not saying it isn't great value and I'm sure it will be the most successful but I can't justify spending £93 for a £336 seat. I had every intention of only spending £65 but didn't want to give up.


As a few have said, it is possible to have 1 buy in and play it as a freezeout, but aren't you at a 4/1 disadvantage of someone willing to spend £93 and need a lot of luck on your side?. Are there any plans for a freeze out in future months? I'm sure something like a £42 + £3 giving a 8/1 ratio would be a success. It would suit smaller bank rolls and give them equal chance.

The grosvenor 25/25 series has been a huge success doubling its  guarantee the first two months. Yes it's a few casinos pulling together as 1 but they offer a variety of online and live sats and LMS for the full month building up to the event suiting all different bank rolls creating a large number of seats.

Are you stating, sausage, that you posted because you lost your roll? ;thankyou;

lol. I remember a guy who called everyone in Hull sausage. Terry Halliday was his name and back in the day he used to play outside of the fish bowl that is hull

Mirrrrrion to be the same guy

Cant reg new details as they say match old ones and cant log in with old account details. Any help?

Need to contact live chat

any hint as to how to activate your timebank???

yeh this pls.

Also how many levels is day one?

it would be 16 if one were to play them all....

Really enjoyed playing this and not bitter at all that after 3 and a half hours lost to a 3 outer haha

Only thing that seems to be missing is a time bank. I know online is much faster than live etc etc but only having 15 seconds to make a decision for your tournament life in a £300 comp is really tough.

Apart from that DTD have got it spot on again :)

To activate time bank you click on your name.

nope

nope, it just auto sits you out.

I tried everything I could think of yesterday whilst playing, and no joy. A quick google search revealed ipoker introduced timebanks in 2011 I think so tis pretty annoying.

works for me clicking on my name, have to click a few times before it comes on tbh

I clicked about 400 times rofl

in different places, with different levels of swearing at the screen etc.


sure kicks in.

Don't think this is true

I'm not sure you can activate your timebank. It kicks in automatically if (1) you have chips in the pot already and you go past the given 10-15 seconds before acting (2) If the tournament has been set up to have timebanks

This is baffling me, I'm sure I saw the timebank being used in the satellite the other night, but in the online 1a never saw it once...

Did have a little giggle at IsItFrankie asking about it every minute tho.  ;whistle;

It is there, but you don't have a choice to activate it or not, it just kicks in automatically after xxx time.

Yep, and then when it's expired, it doesn't kick-in (obviously).

Personally I think the move over to Ipoker is great, the software is infinitely better, and the ability to win "tokens" from feeders make it possible to win a feeder on weds and play the target satellite on the Thursday.  The token system also means you can register yourself into the day1 of your choice, which is a whole lot easier than the previous email the morning after system.

Once you figure out the best way to check the "actual" progress of a tournament is to use the "Chatbox>Stats>More" feature and just to ignore completely what the lobby says, then satellites are exactly the same as the old boss ones but with better software. 

I would however recommend that for future tournaments the chatbox gets turned off when the field nears the bubble.  We had a guy on our table telling everyone "to fold their way to seat and not play against each other" - FFS mate, we are all aware of the ICM implications on the bubble of a satellite!  It just felt a bit "cheaty" having people trying to make our table a "team" against the other players.

Overall though, big thumbs up on the move over, Ill certainly play more on this Skin and not just "satellites for live events" as I did on the Boss client.

On the Genting blog latest software release claims to have fixed lobby refresh issue so just a matter of time surely until applied to DTD skin

presume link is ok?

http://www.gentingpoker.com/blog/2013/02/genting-poker-software-updates-and-fixes/

Good news.

Is Genting the Grosvenor and G casinos as they were before?

er, no!

Genting is the largest UK operator with 44 casinos. Malaysian parent company, and an online room on Ipoker that Poker Encore and now DTD partner with. Grosvenor (owned by Rank) is completely different company

Ok, Who did they buy out then? I assume they haven't  just opened all those new casinos from scratch?

Is there anywhere you can see your tokens that you've won or do you just have to remember?

Agree about the chat

Stokesfinest should be banned, ridiculously annoying idiot trying to get everyone to time bank and even laying bets to get people to time bank!

currently  cashier, my account, dtd points,
tokens show

Ah it's within the points thing. Thanks H.

Yep just contact live support or email them support@dusktilldawnpoker.com and they can sort account problems :)

Ah you were on my table then. Im "RolledUpInRazz" fully agree his table chat was underhand.

Third largest casino chain in the world, and the largest in the UK!

Genting Newcastle was formerly Circus, having originally been Stanley's if that helps.

Cheers Nicola

Nicola

Any idea when software will cater for Mac

Question: in tourny lobby i see a comp saying $3000 GP freezeout does the GP mean GTD Prize or is it a sat to another comp

GTD mate

intresting some GTD pools looking well short of numbers  guessing there will be lots of late regs

Think they pretty much all hit them mate tbh.

I've just won a Golden Chip whilst playing in the blonde league.  I didn't realise what it was all about until just now and should I make day 2, it's my anniversary.  Is it possible to keep the chip for the next one?  Can't see Mrs S being that impressed with me popping off to play poker on our anniversary.

She'll be very impressed if you make the final table and take her to St Kitts - it can be done you know :-)

That's true, she'd like that.

Tell her, if David can do it, any mug can, and then show her the pictures - she'll be fine

You have won a token which is only valid for this event so you will need to play a day 1 either online or live. Why don't you give it a shot and if you get through you will be guaranteed a min paypout of £150. Tell her you will spin it up and whatever you win you will spend on her ;)

It starts at 1pm on day 2 so you might even be finished in time to take her out ;)

Cheers Nicola

I'll be finished in time to take her for lunch :D

You're in the money just for making day 2?  I didn't realise that.   I'll break the good news later tonight, I've not told her yet!
