Hi Guys

Just quick note on UK Majors and Dailys in the DTD Tab;

* Last week, I asked Gary Oakes and Nicola Veitch to come up with a good promotion over the next couple of weeks that rewards players that support these MTTs regularly but they came back with an idea I liked in just a couple of days - so today they launched

http://wptuk.poker/promotions/wpt-superstars

* This is £5500 spend a week on Tournies that generate us $0.50 and $2 reg fee..this lights up the majority of DTDs weekly online budget up in smoke - so we have adjusted the 7pm GTEs to 200 players in Micro and 150 in Mini as we can't afford to lose money on GTEs and the promotion.

* BUT I have given Gary and Nicola extra budget to put in a decent GTE Mini and Micro at 9pm aswell as the 7pm and I suspect when they add the 9pm we will end up guaranteeing more than before AND running the WPT promo - but this will give you have 4 decent GTE comps per night and we will have a bigger pool of players over 2 time zones - I understand these freezeouts are no fun if you bust the 7pm early so a bigger 9pm makes sense for players that don't need to be finished by midnight for work in morning

"**Pokerfest postponed – $50,000 freeroll added to the new schedule**

We have today made the decision to postpone the upcoming Pokerfest series which was due to commence this Sunday, 27 September 2015.

The decision has been taken as a result of performance issues that have impacted our service following software updates this week.
While the issues are being resolved in full the decision has been taken to push back the start of the tournament schedule until Sunday 25 October 2 to ensure an optimal experience for players during Pokerfest.

A new tournament schedule will be announced shortly

Players that have already registered to any event will receive a refund of their buy-in directly into their account in the next few days
For our players to compensate for the inconvenience caused partypoker has added a $50,000 freeroll tournament to the updated Pokerfest schedule which will be announced shortly "

I've had an e mail to say the buy in for the event I'm regged for will be paid back to my account shortly

Quite a few people asking how to find particular tournaments, if you follow these settings you can find all WPTUK and Grand Prix Poker Tour Stuff.

Just click on Live Events, then chose Dusk till Dawn or WPT and go from there. If you then click on the first column Date/Time it will list all tournaments starting from now.

Under UK Majors you have all your UK only Micro's and Mini's.

You can only see these UK only tournaments when you are logged in and remember the current promotion where you collect points just for playing the Micro & Mini and could find yourself in a 50 person freeroll for 10xWPT500 seats which happens on a Wednesday night:

partypoker plan to level the playing field for ALL players**

During the next few weeks partypoker will go another step further with its Poker for the People campaign making improvements to our poker offering to level the playing field for all our poker players.

The ongoing development of sophisticated third party online poker tracking software such as HUDs, seating scripts and the sharing of hand history databases can impact new players and the recreational community who do not have this access.

We are committed to providing fair and ethical poker products to all our players and therefore during the coming weeks the following improvements to the software will be introduced:
1. Players will be able to view the last 12 months of their own hand histories within the Missions icon in the partypoker software however hand histories will no longer be able to be downloaded and saved to local devices
2. Players wishing to wait for a cash game will join the room-wide waiting list and be randomly seated when a seat that matches their preference becomes available
3. Players joining a cash game will see the names of their opponents only once their first hand is dealt

We will continue working with our poker community to develop a mutually beneficial, trusting relationship between partypoker and our players and we believe the changes will preserve the quality of our games.
