These sort of incentives are becoming more commonplace nowadays. Party Poker do a similar sort of thing with their missions and i think this is a good thing because if you are going to play anyway why not opt in

i didnt opt in, because of the all-in shootouts as rewards makes no sense, since all the russian players on the site already playing every micro stake tourey/sng/free.roll like a an all-in shootout, why would i pay for it then? this promotion is not for the regulars rather than a hobby players, im a latter but i rather wait some good reload offer in the spring
I was watching the final table in one of these and 3 Russians made it its a nice promotion why not participate i don't see any reason why not since all the challenges are easy too complete GL

Honestly,i cant understand the negative attitude to this promotion.Challenges are very simple,like play one Sit n Go or win one VPP,play a real money tournament.Then u get one ticket and just register.Then is pure luck and the fun is that even if u are sit out u get hole cards.So imagine to win a few bucks with no physical presence!!

whats up with latest coinflip mania, coinflip tourneys everywhere sure its a nice addon because u would do most of those things anyways (play a sng, play a tourney get 1 point etc) so its really just free money so no need to be negative about it
i just wish coinflip doesnt take over the world, we already have bingo if we want to play that

Both of you already answered why some of us didnt care for this promo. No skill required, and "playing" coinflips on every goddamn hand is not p.oker nor fun its just a plain stupid way to justify wasting time. Again there is no such thing as "free money" especially on a p.oker site.

Posted by Phisix: I did it today that is what I meant, but I did not realize about the promotion until a few hours after.
You have to use code "CHALLENGE" before you want to participate in this promotion. Just go into account -> enter star code... and type challenge. It should proccess it in few minutes. Then you can complete missions every day. You dont have to rewrite that code every day.

I wonder is that anybody here i bankrollmob who won more that 1.20 usd on the single dayli challenge ? I,ve done 9 and won aobut 5 dollars. But this one thing more if do done 10 challenges u will receive a ticket to super challenge which has 150 000 prize pool and ffp tickets for a vip shop.
Yes, I won the first two, one for $7.50 and one for $4.62, but there were much less registered then.
Now that over 40000 people register for these, I only get the occasional $0.30, but I still play every one of them, except for the "Sunday storm" one...

Can't make over 0.30$.Five consecutive efforts stop after the so called " bubble".The fun part is that i keep pass over the first table with total rubbish hands like 3 8 but then i pay the prize of it since with Ace high and being ahead preflop,finally get busted.Dont complaining though knowing tha nature of this promotion.Good luck .
sure its a nice addon because u would do most of those things anyways (play a sng, play a tourney get 1 point etc) so its really just free money so no need to be negative about it
