Don´t you like this idea? I think we can make a poll about it. Currently, BRM give to us a Mob Draw ticket in our birthday. Theoretically, they spend $ 0,01 for each one of us one time in the year. If we are around 700.000 mobers, BRM spends $ 7000 per year in tickets. So, this money may be use to make 12 monthly birthday´s freerolls with $500 in prizes (the other $ 1000 could pay some cost). I may be happy with a ticket for this freeroll, much than the Mob Draw ticket. What do you think? The idea was talked between CALICUL, pajalnick, I, and Afimpa who gives it this form.

Yes i like thia idea i think many people in forum like it too because not many chances to win prize in mobdraw if you have one ticket, but to play in freeroll with prize of 700 dollars is some chance to win if you have some luck too

Hi! Really later i think that probably that is not so brilliant idea cause really about 60000 members of our site have birthday in any month (729000/12). And first technically very very difficult (may be impossible) to organize freeroll for 60 000 people in one room. Secondly, I think it is not very attractive for 60 000 people fight for $600 . Sure Birthday freeroll is nice idea but not with above mentioned figures. Sorry for confusion and misleading from my side.
------------ Now i have another idea. Probably it is better to make each week mob draw for birthday men in addition to standard mob draw. In this case people which have birthday and receive 1 mob points as gift will have equal chances to win, cause now it is not real at all. I think nobody can not win now with 1 point and my suggestion make it real. so 729000/52= about 14 000 people have birthday each week. so it will be 14000 mob points in special mob draw for birthday men and lets say 14 people can win 1000mob points. I can see that chance is small 1 from 1000 but really that's higher than now.

I wouldn’t be interested t hear what admin have to say on this subject, however, my thoughts are, it’s a none starter. I like your math however there is no way that BRN actually cost themselves $7000 a year in giving away free tickets to the mob draw. This is a theoretical 0.01c and an easy ven greater theoretical $7000. It costs them nothing to give a free ticket as the mob draw prize will be at least $50 anyway! So I can’t see them magicing $7000 dollars out of nothing for us all to play for!

I think that somebthing like this want happen at BRM and they dont work at this system!maybe idea is not bad,but this is something that dont work for all members and lot of this 720K of members isnt active here,they dont even use doors at mob calendar!but good luck with idea!
probably a very interesting idea .... And further in the post I see some more good ideas .... I think this site should be something new .... years go on the site nothing changes .... almost nothing changing .... of course stability is a sign of skill .... but still I would like some new interesting introductions ... It would be very cool .... Thanks in advance Brm

Mr. Administrator (The Great!) a few of us are proposing to you to make some changes to make us happier. We know that there are some difficulties, someone of then has been said by Afimpa and damosk, but pajalnick has done a good synthesis: some changes could be good. If you are interested in our opinions about it, we could give it to you with pleasure. Keep safe and make your deep work very carefully!

Hi guys,
Birthday freerolls are nothing we will consider right now due to a number of reasons, including:
1. There are very few poker sites (if any) that accept players from all countries we have members in. This means that many members would not be able to participate. Not a very good birthday present if you ask me
2. We would only be able to restrict with password as it would be impossible to collect poker aliases and register everyone manually. Having password protected freerolls would mean that some members will spread the password to non-members on other poker forums, Facebook, etc.
Last but not least...
We, the BRM crew, have talked about creating a more fair Prize Draw/Mob Draw (with larger prizes) than what we currently have. However, our main priority right now is to finish the mobile-friendly website.
Br, Thomas Mob Admin

I can see the priority being the mobile version. That frenzy with mobiles and connectivity keeps going on and growing up. It has become annoying though, the very least i can say about that, in many ways PC or a laptop is just fine by me and many others i suppose for BRM, but a business of that kind must follow the trend after all...

Well, very good reason and explanation! And the good news is that Bank Roll Mob is not asleep! You are working in some changes that will make we happier and that´s fine for me. Could you take note about the possibility that in the Mob Safe we can put the numbers easier? Really, when you have x00 tickets to try it before the numbers change is...how can I say it...

Nice, thanks for all these info. Yeah the site restrictions are a bummer. I downright stopped registering at new places, because even some old ones started bizarre restrictions towards my country.

This thing with restrictions is happening in many countries and because of this BRM can not implement monthly freerolls, instead of birthday tickets. Sua, France, Italy, Spain, Romania and others countries are restricted for BRM games. The site works normally but guilty for this is legislation in these countries or some poker rooms ( depends on the situation ).

ofcourse that most of old things should stay at site,because its not good to change lot of things in same time and to remove stuffs that we know!but things with prizes,draw and everything can be improved on some new level and we will see what will be!

It´s fine for me if BRM makes a new app of his site, I think that a lot of people (specially young people) tends to use only smartphone and an app is too light for it and run better than a browser. But about the changes in BRM I think that the company has a lot of loyal costumers that maybe consulting with some poll to define some of it, don´t you think?

Perhaps, dule-vu, I´m not the best informed about technology´s matter, especially about software, net, and smartphones; but I could explain my understanding. One app is more light, more fast and efficient than a browser´s access. And if you don´t want it, you could not download it, and continue with your browser´s access. It´s simple don´t you think?
. Sure Birthday
