Double Comp Points Are Over

[Jason]

Currently players who started new tables would receive double comp points once the table had 4 or more players, however this will no longer be happening as of 00:00 Server Time today. This is a direct result of some recent player feedback and that the double Comp Point’s promotion was negatively affecting the creation of full tables and hampering play.

Basically this promo was having to many tables half full and was killing the action so its been done away with. The new VIP program comes in shortly to replace the existing comp point system anyhow so this shouldn't really affect many players. :cool:

[deek1972]

def good idea... nice 1 :wave:

[Bud518]

How many people complained about this. I never found a problem all month trying to play. I have only seen a few complaints on the forum today. Just not understanding doing away with it.........

[Survivor777]

SMART MOVE PDC !!!!!!!! THANKS :wave:

[Dori113]

Hopefully this is resolve that everyone is happy with & the spirit of the game is able to find its way back to our tables. Good Luck to All.

Will look forward to hearing about the VIP Program and hope it's something this tiny roller can enjoy.

[tonym7777]

Double comp points is a great idea BUT:
1)The first person to SIT IN gets double comps.
2)If u sit out at ANY time, it goes to the person who sat in after you.
3)if u go bust and dont reload in time for the VERY next hand, u lose the double comps.

This would make action increase, as people will want to make the first person to bust so they can take over the double comps.

This also avoids people sitting out until the table is full to get easier points and also will make some people have to earn the double comps and makes this promo idea more exciting.

Just my 2 cents...would like any comments on this idea

[deek1972]

forget it, no more double point rooms.... end of...

[tonym7777]

i cant figure out why people just dont want double points...gl on ur bonuses and promos now

[Dori113]

Thanks Tony Good Luck to you as Well :)

[tonym7777]

lets get some .10/.25 games going with me so i can have 45 mins of double comps lol

[armbrust]

I hope that the new vip its focused to reward very well the regular pros and semi pros we have here.

I have seen some of the best ideas in the industry here, but also the worst.

Whats the vip gonna be?

[Survivor777]

forget it, no more double point rooms.... end of... story :wave:

[tonym7777]

if u dont want double comps, just dont sit in first....its not that big of an issue to the extent it needs to go...

[Froliche]

JASON!! how soon is soon? lmao this VIP carrot has been dangled in front of my face many times but i can't seem to catch it! 1 month?
2 months? 2 years!? I just want a taste of that sweet sweet carrot cake brosef :)

[Jason]

hahahaha its down to weeks now I think. yes...ive been dangling that carrot for a while. I got to take a peek at the new store. its ridiculous. kinda like a superstore or a walmart. well not quite but you can get everything from cooking ware to holidays. oops....is that dangling the carrot again?

Sounds like february to me, but with the wallabies near the office we cant be sure.

[tonym7777]

i hope double points will someway get back on this site...i just gave up on all my promos since they r going to be unreachable now for any decent money.

[fritzson]

Nah, work on you bankroll (if it is the bankroll) and/or climb up in stakes and you can get higher points.
You can play limit table and get same points as in NL... Limit tables doesn't require that big bankroll.

:wave:

Blame the players that abused that feature in the xmas promo, and with a little searching you might find some of the posts which give more explanation. Its better I keep my thoughts to myself, other than I'm glad it is gone forever :rolleyes:

[Survivor777]

Tony, this link is self-explanatory; perhaps then you will understand. PDC did nothing wrong; it was the players

Thanks for the info J-Dogg2(you can't be J-dogg bc thats jared sorry)
The new comp store sounds great to me! Idk how much input you employees get around there but if you could put in a good word for me i'd love to see a chilli cheese burrito in the comp store.
If you can't do it then you'd better stop making ridiculous claims like you can compete with walmart!(walmart has a tacobell built in where i live and i consider my comp pts worthless if they can't purchase delicious mexican food). Thank You for your time

wow.... a compliment to the site and an amuzing read!

here here J-Kat...looking forward to the new store!

[ropndonkies]

now that the double points are over.does that mean we only need half as many points to complete a task?the only way ANYONE could achieve the higher tasks was with double points so know it isnt possible unless you were to play 24 tables 24/7.

as for a new store that would be great!been wanting that for ever!!

vip program? so basically if your a high roller you will get the hook up?THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET SHIAT ON!:beaten:

If you use a chart the was shown in another thread and you play 8 full colosseum tables making single points for 14 hours a day for 31 days you would make 496000 points.

Was no point anyway rop they just take the money back and tell you that you played the same people too often :beaten:and I am still awaiting a reply!
And show what most people didn't know it was 1st 2 that started a table that got double points and it definately never affected play when I was around! But ye promos will be unreachable but don't think I will be WASTING my fn time on them anymore anyway!

Fro you lucky sot. Our walmarts only have McD's. burrito better than hockey pucks. VIP kewl. I hope also VIP will also be good for site regular's. Store? coming back to pdc ? And my only question. VIP replacing points, what happens to our point's? Clean slate ? If so how do i transfer them to carbon. I would like to get the card protector over there or a goood travel mug.

[VailSkiBum]

I understand the complaints about slow play. I tried to grind the 25NL tables for the xmas promo and there were 2 people whom I won't name that had control of damn near every table at this limit. They had so many tables going that they would time out trying to act.

Anyway, concerning the new VIP program, I wonder how they will convert the existing comp points (if they will do this at all). And I wonder if it will be the type of program that ***** has.

[Bud518]

I still don't understand getting rid of double points. How do expect to clear anything. You have a few forum member wanna be poker players that are complaining they couldn't sit at a table. I ad no problem joining the wait list or starting a table myself.

Just doesn't make any sense................

I think it is possible....

I manage to get 15 000 point for playing maybe 1-3 hours for 14 days and I was running 2-4 tables. If you add a few hours and run at least 4 tables and do it every day for 1 month I think you can get the points.

There was a similar promo last year in March and by that time there were no double comp points and those players who went for it had no problem with chasing the points. I know player who cleared all the points before the promo was over.

I think there is a possibility... if you play for some hours and a few tables every day. :)

[ropndonkies]

is it only carbon that got rid of double points?rumor has it that other merge sites still giving double?

[HOTPANTS5572]

think they all have stopped them.

[ropndonkies]

pretty sure *another merge site that i can't name* still giving them!

[HOTPANTS5572]

i know pdc isnt.

If players were sitting at empty tables, but sitting out until up to as many as 6 players were seated before they sat in to play then that doesn't seem fair. I saw plenty of times the same player or players sat on their own at many tables, determined to be one of those to get double points.
Fact is it's an incentive to players to open more tables and increase action for the site. If it's not working out that way(which it obviously wasn't as they've taken the decision to stop it) then they have no incentive to continue it.

You can still clear bonuses and make comps, you just have to play more.

And because someone has a different view to you doesn't make them more or less of a poker player than you.

Believe me I am in the wanna be catagory too. I found it very easy to sit or start a table. Yeah I saw people doing the sit out trick but so be it. They did what it took to get as many double points as possible.

[natsdad]

Just what it said. That if you have an account at another merge site you can find out if they still do double comps for table starters by logging on and sitting in. What else could it mean?:confused:

Well it seems that Admin decided their tactic was inhibiting action rather than encouraging it so it's them you have to thank for the closure of the scheme.

[noodlehed69]

Well it seems that Admin decided their tactic was inhibiting action rather than encouraging it so it's them you have to thank for the closure of the scheme.

I obviously do not have any access to the back-end data and whatnot that Merge Gaming has, but I for one believe that the double comp points scheme, as it was executed, was inhibiting action.

I had a hell of a time getting on any table towards the end of last month. All the tables were full or had 2 players sitting out. I think that prop players are the best way for Merge to go to encourage action. Likely better for their bottom line too.

I was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly Merge reacted to a thread on these forums regarding the double comp point system. Of course, the thread may have been coincidental, but still nice to see them listening to their clientele.

[ureadmnweepagain]

pffff I more or less was an unpaid prop but that earned me title of promo abuser!!!!

[gottafatpp]

Just my .02. Looks like "the ball" was dropped again. Ending double comp points with NO notice in the middle of a promo! SHADY!!!!!!! Plain and simple.

[Bud518]

You would think this would run until the VIP Prgram was up and running. Then I could see no problem with changing whatever they see fit.

[noodlehed69]

Just my .02. Looks like "the ball" was dropped again. Ending double comp points with NO notice in the middle of a promo! SHADY!!!!!!! Plain and simple.

They DID give notice, albeit quite short notice ;) I can't understand why you would state such a decision is shady. If they were retroactively subtracting the points double comp points I could agree, but canceling the double comp points program is their prerogative. It was a perk which they discontinued, plain and simple.

[ropndonkies]

cut the possibility of points in half.so logically(oh boy theres that word again)cut the amount of points you need for tasks in half....is that logical...........:cool:

[Dori113]

I don't feel the ball was dropped at all ~ I just feel the promotions took the focus off of winning at the tables and when that happened everything changed. Hopefully from this point forward a player won't be forced to choose between winning a pot or winning a promotional dollar ~ when that happens everything changes. We are all here to play poker & win pots and that's where the focus needs to be. If there are future promotions the end result for rewards must be contingent on winning the pot or all chaos will break loose again.

I think removing the doubler was the first proactive step in allowing us to return to the game. I am sure folks will be upset that double comps aren't offered anymore, but I do think it was the fairest resolve and will be ensure "game on" at each table we sit. I do hope we are all able to get past all the chaos and get back in there and start clubbing each other at the tables :) This promotion / doubler didn't work... but we have such a fantastic group of talented poker players and the client offers us the best poker software on the net. Hard feelings on both sides I am sure, but hopefully its something we are all able to get past and we continue to grow as a community/ network. This really is a great place to play.

[boysmom]

I will miss the double comp points. IMHO it was a "reward" for starting a table and playing with fewer people, thus having to pay the blinds sooner and more often until others joined. I will probably just wait until a seat opens up at a full table to play rather than begin a new one. Basically, the reward is no longer there, so fewer tables will be started. I know that any promotion is a bonus to us, but I am not one of the players with a huge bankroll (actually, mine is rather miniscule :() but I enjoy playing and earning a few "free" dollars. I seldom make it past the top couple of layers, but it makes playing more poker a little more rewarding. I hope they bring double comp points back.

i dont agree with losing this in promos its the only way that low limit players can get up the ladder especially those who have to go out to work and not sit at tables 24/7 well done pdc another stupid idea you came up with you sure know how to kick players were it hurts

I think this is mostly a few people opinion and most you will find on the forum. As a few will agree with me. I don't think there are any hard feeling just people expressing how they feel. I don't understand how they come to a decision listening to some and not to the whole group of players.

Another poster mentioned that there is no need to start new tables. Why would we ther is no incentive. Now we are back to were we were before the double points ended. Waiting in lint for a spot on a full table to open. So the few who complained win and can play 2-3 people against each other. :beaten:

Yes small time players. That is why I don't understand why forum members would complain. I would think most of the members would be small time. Could be wrong...........

[Dori113]

Bud at the end of the day I log in here to play poker. It shouldn't be about comp points or anything else but the game itself. That's my feeling on it ~ and I am not speaking for anyone but myself. I am a small time player. You will see me on the el~cheapo tables and small buy ins always. I am not a high roller at all. There is no one who plays cheaper than I do.

hmmm...so just because I'm a small time player, I'm not a forum member? I didn't know there was a money limit.:confused:

[Laksh08]

Its fair to lose this. The first person that sat gets the double points, but they wouldnt have gotten that until other 3 ppl sat there. Making pts for all just makes it fair. The loss from this is less tables because no1 would want to start a table, but double points only helped to get 1 player on the table, not all 6 or 9.

[deek1972]

i think some people are a little confused about why the double pointers are no more.... 1st of all, the 1st 2 players who sat down got double points not just 1, i havnt got a problem joining a table whether theres 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc sitting, most of ur regular forumers decided against the double pointers to insure ev1 is then, now equal to gain the same points, i know sum 1 has to start a table but now there gone, ev 1 gets the same, whats the problem...

[ropndonkies]

the prob......uhm....i dont know if its a prob cut our oppurtunity for twice as many points but still have to achieve the same amount of points for tasks......

[deek1972]

aye thats the bummer part, now reaching the last part of the promo is now kinda ****ed:beaten: if u catch my drift... well they were quick enough to do away with the double pointers, maybe they can reduce the overall totall down a little... to a more realstic level... :wave:

[Survivor777]

Yeah I saw people doing the sit out trick but so be it. They did what it took to get as many double points as possible.

Nope it was NOT "shady"

They immediately had to change it before the same "clever" tactics were used in the luckbox promo. Promotional abuse they called it and I agree :P

[Dori113]

I was all for people getting double points ~ my complaint was when I would sit, put money up and nobody would play. They would all remain sitouts, I didn't think that was cool. I never, not one time that I can remember had a person I knew from the forum or the tables do that. The culprits I sat with were names I did not recognize, high roller / small potatoes I have no idea ~ they were totally unfamiliar to me. But if you have signed in to play poker and have money on the table, let the cards fly in a timely fashion when a player sits .

Would have never been an issue had it not been for a promotion(s) that took the gamble out of the game and placed sole emphasis on collecting comp points opposed to winning each hand played. Doubler & Comp point promotion was a deadly combination. And as long as they continue to offer promotions that are built around securing comp points opposed to winning the hand it's going to be an ongoing issue.

I can't do anything about burritos ~ but if you post quick enough I can get you something from a killer Chinese place down the street.

We're Deeking it tonight and calling for dinner ;)

As it turns out they have a promo too ~ buy 10 entrees and get 1 free. Tonight should get the card its final punch and we should get a freebie. Now what I don't know is I might possibly be excluded because awhile ago my brother worked there as a delivery guy & I don't think we are entitled. Friends/ Family are excluded from the promotion ~ so tonight tells all. But they have been punching my card so we are about to find out. I will keep you posted :D

[tazdog2]

Lmao!

[deek1972]

deeking it 2nite, i like that.. :cool:

[gottafatpp]

I can see both sides..... If players have already been repremanded..chances are they won't do it again. Then why phaze out double points? Because they don't want it to happen again.Seems to me in the long run this will only hurt PDC/Carbon players as I see Many other sites on the Merge network are NOT phazing out double points. As far as my "shady" comment.. I did state I was ONLY putting in my two cents and I still believe that's the way I feel! I just read about a delightful chinese meal in the makings... what if that person makes their order for the "special". They pick up there food only to find out... toooooooooo many ordered the special that night. So instead of 10$ u need to pay us 20$ and just be happy we offer the special!!!!

[Miklosik]

Restaurants run out of 'specials' all the time. So you pick something else and pay full price. In fact, it happens so often that I wonder whether or not they really had the special at all.

[Dori113]

Winner Winner ~ Chicken Dinner (General Tso's if you want to split hairs) :D

Not only did we get our freebie ~ Mr. Lee threw in a boatload of Chinese Donuts.

What it boils down to is pretty simple here it is.

Desired effect of double comp pts promo: More tables going and therefore more rake

Actual effect of double comps promo: Total Lack of Turtle Power, no heroes in a halfshell to be found ANYWHERE.

im sure glad they got rid of it exactly in the fashion that they did on the day that they did!!

its as if they are admitting that they added to the problem with the comp points and are desperately trying to cover their ass's!

Please stay within the spirit of this promotion and do not play a friend over and over again.

Try to comply with the above statement when starting a double point table.

[Bud518]

im sure glad they got rid of it exactly in the fashion that they did on the day that they did!!

its as if they are admitting that they added to the problem with the comp points and are desperately trying to cover their ass's!

As a site I don't think they care that much if they caused a problem. How is it a problem if money is coming in. There really was no problem. I think many individuals used whatever they could to climb the xmas promo ladder. More than they thought. Now they might be scrambling to pay out. They also now have the perfect excuse with a few complaints coming in to stop double points.
:P

#9 in the T&C - All players must meet PCD Pokers Terms and Conditions, and PDC Poker reserves the right to modify these rules at any time, and for any reason, at it's sole discretion.

Pretty much says it all.

Well I don't know about T's & C's but I do know I got free donuts tonight & that isn't something that happens every day :D

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but not to the site.. gotta say I could care less if the double point bonus is gone cuz I'll never play another promo ever on Carbon again.. 'nuff said:beaten:

[fritzson]

I was not supposed to go in to this, but I do it anyway.. (oops sorry).

Things have been cleared... of what I have understand! :cool:That is cool for me!


Since there are so many "big players" = I mean players who has come far in all
those promos ... who has been watched in the seams and lost their promo winnings...
I can understand the reaction. It is sad stories!

I think we should be happy for given promos. Some of us might overlooked the
terms and conditions and not really take that seriously. The more I read every
post about everything in this big soup among all these promos, involved and
not involved people... I really smell a rat somewhere. I don't say where because
deep inside of us... everyone knows where the rat is.

As stated... the site has done nothing wrong and I think we should be happy
for any future given promo like this. I have always seen promos like this like
bonus... if I cleared the points, so be it.. congrats to me. :D That would not
change my way of playing. My christmas run did not change my way of
playing either. I am surprised to say, I won on it in the end. :)

I don't think this need to be discussed anymore.

Everything is over and out and we have a new year to look forward to and as Jason
said in another thread, welcome this new vip thing. Let's focus on that instead.

Let's leave this soup behind us.

Welcome to The Forum.....


Unfortuneltly with all the current events, everyone forgot their manners!!!

Welcome!!!!


and GL

BTW its about time!!

[carz990]

so if someone is sitting out they still earn comp points? or have i missed something?

[147cue]

so a new vip system is coming in eh well what happens to my and other players comp points that we currently have ?? hope they get transferred and not just done away with at the very least , can someone answer this question please

[Dori113]

At this point if someone is sitting out they are just sitting out. It is my understanding that you have to see the flop to get the comp.

Sorry but this is not a support forum so your question may not get an answer unless someone from Admin happens to come in and happens to see your question. If you have questions you should contact support. You can use the link in my signature.

deep inside of us... everyone knows where the rat is.



mine is clearly different than yours :eek:

[almurray]

Boooooo.....some cheating scumbags ruined it for everyone else as usual.

[147cue]

then y are certain players still getting double points because its still happening ????

[Miklosik]

They aren't playing Carbon or PDC.

[ropndonkies]

other skins are still giving double!

[147cue]

makes no difference if they play same tables as we do then they should not be getting them

[Dori113]

Each skin has the ability to make individual choices on certain things I would guess as I belong to a few and can see slight differences in what they do and do not offer.

[almurray]

No offence intended!:beaten::o

[Fireman2x]

still cant get points like we used to, tables are slow!!

[Dori113]

Note from moderator: Quote has been removed as the post has been deleted. Dori's reply is still relevant as it speaks to the spirit of the game and "getting back to poker".

Other skins within the network are still offering the doubler I do believe. And I don't really think there are a large majority of highrollers complaining.

If you are concerned about the release of bonus dollars you had to focus on the task list because completing the tasks is what released the funds. I am not sure what you mean by that statement but it seems conflicting. With the limited number of people on this network / the Doubler Offer / Promos (current & those passed) and the terms and conditions verbiage as it is~ some of us had a difficult time with the getting tables to play poker on / playing the comps game / completing tasks and staying within the spirit of the game. We were forced to choose between poker & promos. It really isn't about Whining and Complaining & people needing to put something in their pipe to smoke. It's about getting back to poker.

We log in to sit at a table and play poker, not a comps game. We now have the ability here to do just that & those wanting to play the comp point game still have the ability to do that within the network. It was resolve that gave everyone what they needed.

And at the end of the day it is what it is... there is no more more Doubler here and I wouldn't think this thread or a barrage of emails to customer support will change that. But if you look around a bit you will find skins where you can still play the comps game.

[Snoggler]

Bud at the end of the day I log in here to play poker. It shouldn't be about comp points or anything else but the game itself. That's my feeling on it ~ and I am not speaking for anyone but myself. I am a small time player. You will see me on the el~cheapo tables and small buy ins always. I am not a high roller at all. There is no one who plays cheaper than I do.


Er now Dori lol not true. Im cheaper than you. Course if i play rings its for lil extra cash, and i wont play 2/4 or 5/10. Just to silly there. Lotto. 10/25 nl or limit.

I play for fun, not profit. Profit is fun but not necessary for my fun. I prefer low buy in tourney's. Are they donkey? yer some what. But more reason to play and read the donk's. Then move up and take on higher buy in donks:rolleyes:

Double point's were nice but, yer unnecessary if the promotions are with in means of doing with multi tabling with out having to play 14+hrs doing that.

Im lucky sot, i get 5k a month in points. Playng about 300 points a day. Some days making few buck on ring or cashing out on tourney. Sometimes *lol most often, down couple bucks. :beaten: But long as didnt get upset over a bad beat/donking, was a good game.

I don't post bad beats although might comment. Useless learn from it. Don't worry about it. Nothing going to change on that beat, if you must talk it out. But in the end it is up to you*us, to play our game/cards/ situation's, whether it be tourney ring or for a promotion. Including leader boards.

Heck i liked double point's too. And alot more table's were open, but harder or longer wait to get on one. Oh well. Let's see what comes up on any promo's in the future eh.

All i can say is kewlies.. I am about to get my 5k points for the months end 50k freeroll. And i will get to open one box.. hmmmm 1 2 or 3 = free money.

[Honsey]

I'm am closing this thread as the discussion seems to have run it's course. I'm afraid that leaving it open will only serve as a place for players to rant on about a promo that is over. It's time to move on.
