GG Adding / Shifting to Freerolls ???

[Tero]

They have updated their start-up window to this:


Maybe daily freebies are going away, and replaced with something even less worthwhile ???

 

[Goggelheimer]

HM, we will see.

 

[successlaw]

Nice incoming promo btw. Hope they will not remove our daily freebies
For the moment I don't find those freerolls in GG lobby

 

[Fallenglory]

Not sure, if it's more promos I'm all for it!

 

[schtiuky]

Changes are good from time to time maybe those will be more fun.

maybe they will make some changes because their freeroll is too small compared to wpt's crazy freeroll series

i will have to play ,at least, 100 cash game hands per day in order to play those freerolls.The bad thing is that I just withdrew $200.I didn´t know about this new promotion.

you can just deposit back a small amount and get 3 fresh tickets

there will be 12 qualifying freerolls from sunday till friday , so you can easily get more tickets just by playing , but to be honest you can just play 1000 hands in 24h period and just get the ticket for the main event on Saturday, it's just one tournament with cash prizes after all, and you can skip the qualifiers.

And my estimation for this tournament , considering how many tickets they give out....
I believe there will be somewhere from 35000 to 50000 registered players in each weekly tournament and about 4000-5000 places paid
For sure the final table is paid good, but it's gonna be a lottery , for +35k players, they must make it hyper-turbo with 3 min/blinds and because of this the average chip count will always be between 10-25 BBs forcing people to go all-in very often


For GGnetwork it's always good marketing, making people deposit , and making people rake up at least 100 hands/day

I'm not a big fan of GG Poker's daily freerolls.
I honestly prefer the WPN rooms ones: 8 tournaments a day, one every 3 hours, with a prize pool of $50 for each tournament.
With a little effort, playing 4 or 5 tournaments a day can earn you a small nest egg at the end of the month, which you can play at micro limits.
GG's daily freerolls, on the other hand, offer 1 ticket per day to try your luck over the course of a week with 4 spins and 3 battles.
Even if you play well, you might not earn a cent for a long time.

Why not copy the WPN rooms system a bit?
Daily freerolls, more than 1, at least 6, for all levels with different prize pools.
Plankton $50.
Goldfish $100.
Shrimp $200, and so on.

I think it would be an interesting change, especially considering the time a player would spend on the GG client.
Today, many players open the GG client, play the daily freeroll for a few minutes, and then leave. In a week they spend on GG less than 10 minutes.
With the new scheduled tournaments, one would be forced to spend more time on the client and perhaps try playing at the tables.

Good morning,

from what i noticed, this should be a promotion. It has nothing to do with dayli freebies. Remember, they want customers or be thankful for loyality. I just take that as a nice fresh idea and everyone can decide to be a part of that.

Have a nice day,

Natox

Those daily freebies on GG are way way more nice and valuable than those boring super low value freerolls with 10 minutes levels on ACR lol. Its not even up to debate. If u are unable to build from that then i have bad news for you.

 

[Goggelheimer]

Let´s hope that this promo will work world wide.
German players with their regulations may not get it.

 

[wilko32]

Yeah hopefully add a few more like ACR

 

[Super_Bafalo]

I don't really play Cash games. But putting 200 hands on Red Star was a problem for me. I should have played 3-4 tables for a couple of hours. How long does it take to fill 1,000 hands? It's not enough to play 1000 hands; I would like not to go into the red yet. Sounds more like a lure. Well, we will look into it in more detail. I hope it will be possible to play somehow without deposits.

 

[Poker Orifice]

I don't see the Daily $10k freerolls or the Weekly $100 freeroll in my Tournament Lobby. WTF?

It says I can play 100 cash game hands to get a ticket to the Daily. I played 1,000 every day and got nothing ???

For the $100k ticket it says I need to Deposit min. $500 to get the ticket. Well I'll do this but will the game then magically appear in my lobby???

Can someone please post a screenshot with the games listed in their lobby. Thanks.

 

[padman400]

Don't think they start until this Saturday the 18th

It is listed at 5min. blinds and GG has estimated it to last 2:59 For sure it will be a donkfest!

It is great for all players! It brings more fish to the cash games, and brings more players to the tournaments as well (with the payout money from the freerolls).
I don't have great aspirations for a high finish in the freeroll but I think this promo will be good for the site.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Just the Oct.25th game is in my lobby... nothing listed for Oct.18

 

[FastOne]

Just the Oct.25th game is in my View attachment 395079lobby... nothing listed for Oct.18

I guess the promo starts on October 18th, but the first Weekly FR is on October 25th.

The daily freerolls are suppose to run Sunday through Friday, twice per day, and then on Saturday, the weekly freeroll. But tomorrow there are two daily freerolls (because the promo is just starting). These daily freerolls give 2500 tickets each for the weekly freeroll.

 

[Cooking]

I don't think they are going to stop with the daily freebie. I think this is just another promotion. At least I hope. Lately the only thing I've been playing regulary are the GG daily freebie and the PS spin'go to win the free ticket.

 

[Aleksandr1991]

Кстати, отличная акция. Надеюсь, они не отменят наши ежедневные бесплатные подарки.
На данный момент я не могу найти эти фрироллы в лобби GG.

I don't see either ((((

 

[G0930]

That's because this is the very first 100K freeroll.
There would be way too few players if it started today.

 

[SpanRmonka]

So it seems the promo is now if you play 100 cash game hands you get a daily freeroll ticket.

In the UK its even easier, although I'm not sure its working, its just get dealt AA in a cash game. Appears to be 1 time. Aanyway, I have my first daily ticket.

One thing to look out for is that you need to click the black box in your promo list, then you can opt in to this!!

@Poker Orifice @G0930 @Tero

Another thing I noticed just tonight, is the 11pm one got ITM before late reg, at which point they paused while more players entered!! But this kept repeating, as every hand KO'd more poeple and they were again ITM, so I'll try that tomoz, keep an eye on the game, late reg straight into the money, which gets you a ticket for the weekly one

Always the UK with its special deals lol.
No I didn't get a ticket with AA but just got my first freeroll ticket by playing PLO 0,01/0,02
I think I will try the 1000 hands as well for the weekly ticket haha.
Going great! Sitting on 600 bb
