anyone see what a joke UB's "Player Appreciation Day" prizes are?

[obeythekitten]

for the entire day on march 31st they are offering a 50% redeposit bonus (capped at $100 in bonus money)

but what made me laugh are the "fabulous prizes" that they are randomly giving out to players seated at cash games at various times during the day -

Time Prize

Noon 12 Stone Hats

1 pm TEC to 5 players

2 pm $25 bonus dollars to 10 players

3 pm $15 cash to 10 players

4 pm 12 Black hats

considering they've already removed the high hand jackpots, de-emphasized the time at the tables promotion, and increased the UB points prices on their low end swag, I'm not surprised how much stingier they are on the spot giveaways as well.

but shorthanded 2/4 limit is still pretty juicy to go with the $500 or so bonus bucks I still have pending there. love that software too

[Siegmund]

Giveaways? Yawn. Even the BIG drawings and high-hand jackpots in the past were only worth a few cents of EV.

But hey... 100 bucks is 100 bucks, I'll be making a deposit. No complaints at all from me there.

hmmm

is this UB's version of party poker and the protestant support staff in bombay?

Where did you find this? I can't verify it......

Thanks for posting that, it isn't on BW, no notice was in my mailbox, plus I didn't see it anywhere in the lobby area when logging onto UB. After reading your post I did go to UB's regular web site and noticed the ad there.

Maybe it's just me that they don't appreciate even after two years of playing on their site.
