Damn you guys guys are getting nicely rewarded... so far regular 0.25spin and freeroll - I didn't know they give other freebies

Good, my turn will come, haha :)

Because it seems GG is handing out tickets with different amounts of starting chips attached to them.

I would assume it's because players who rake more get a bigger stack to start with. If you were to look at the names of the players who start off with 1,000bb's (100,000 chips) it is high stakes MTT players. I'd imagine they pay quite a bit in rake each week.

They did that in all promo which they held before.

looks like 2$/ player on average
It can be considerably more depending on how much rake you're creating

I think it's because some tickets already come with a larger number of chips.
I just wanted to understand the reason for benefiting someone in a tournament, making them have more chips than the other players. :unsure:

Just like the other things in the gift box, value depends on created rake.
It's unfair for the tournament but in their eyes it's fair that people who play more than others deserve more.

I didn't know that the gifts were based on the activity on the site.
I'm getting the standard gifts. Let's see if I can play one of those freerolls.
Good luck everyone!

I've also got some Mystery Battle Royale (2x $0.25) tickets but I don't even know what that game is.
They are GG's version of a sitngo.
18 players, Rush mode until Ft , on FT mystery bounties kick in.
It's a fun game mode. I mainly play this format actually because it's not very time consuming (approx 30-50 min per game) and getting mystery bounties is always fun 😁

I think this format would probably be pretty good to grind with $1 games actually. At $0.25 it is kind of boring and the bounties are usually a little more than a dime, less than a dime and a nickel.

Yes indeed , I play them 1$ regualrely and once in a while the 3$
Especially the 3$ can be very profitable

The rewards are based on the rake you generate; nothing good comes from it.

I think it is a weighted thing of average buy in and paid rake.

IT IS based on rake you made. But not on one day but a longer period of time.
They reward loyalty and activity.
Kinda like CC :)
