Would be nice to have some competitions where bonus buys are allowed (not just the hit from base spin). I understand that many are against this but I think it would be a nice change since currently the rules are almost identical in every competition.

I am considering a small one-off contest next year for members who want to take part that would allow bonus buys. I will have a portion of our prize fund allocated for ONE CONTEST only, Keep your eyes our for more information,

If I may suggest to exclude whales; 

max xBet 20x or so and make the score either the vanilla bet or xBet (a pool or simple reactions on a comment would be great here)

 

As in:

Base bet 1€ 

xBet 2€

 

Win 1000€

500x use the heart emoji 

1000x use the party emoji

All these exclusions and restrictions will make the contents far more complicated than it needs to be. We will have some kind of bonus buy contest with a small prize fund - but it will be open to all bonus buys as I do knot want to complicate things further Not sure when this will be but probably will not be soon.

That'll make some fat whales join in and buy 20000x God Mode super bonuses

@cocopop3011 has said it's going to be a small prize fund. So probably our €250 fund monthly contest. The top prize in that is €70. If people want to buy a 20000x super bonus I don't know how they are going to be in profit?

Missed that part! Partly at fault must have been my high fever COVID clapping big time here

every contest during the month of December should  be Christmas slots only, it's discrespecful towards Christians to not have only Christmas slots during this time.

i absolute love that bonus buys are not allowed in ag contests.

i am a fan of math and it always makes me a little mad when someone post his 10kx win that came from a 2kx buy. thats a mere 5x for me.

[Flatzem888]

contests that allow bonus buys, encourage bonus buys, casinos love people doing bonus buys cause if someone does a single bonus buy and doesn't get at least their money back they will buy another and another. Only a very small percentage of people will win doing bonus buys. The rest of them will lose their entire savings.

Any thoughts of maybe changing the big win leaderboard for contests at some point? ie last months AG250/750 contests required 900x and 1100x for last place in both so I suspect people are losing alot of money. The 750 had 5 2000x+ entries which is crazy but rare.

ie running a random weighted draw in a 750 premium like the CT Interactive promo(50x+ wins were entries) so volume players still have better odds but the people who don't win/place often have a sweat at winning 250eur with a handful of entries too. You could cap entries per player at 10/20 and require players to list their entry # in their post which makes it a bit easier for mod duties for leaderboard.

Why fix something thats not broken.Everything is working fine. Some months people get lucky and get higher wins.

Personally, I can accept a random draw contest once in a long while, like once in a blue moon, but the way the current contests are running is very appropriate - there's no need for changes at this moment.

[Blackjax]

@loceff13 does your suggestion has anything to do with the new market regulations coming in December in your region? Because I believe it limits your play.

No cap limits, no random draws, no ifs, ends or butts. Speaking of which Gates has made me weak in my pursuits so i'll need my strength!

But this is what the contest is all about! Kind of takes the fun out chasing those big multipliers when it’s a random draw. For now the AG will stay the same but I’ll be reviewing them ahead of 2027. So feel free to drop any other suggestions.

Only the casinos getting the 15 licenses gets decided by then(should be next month but there were 50+ registered bidders so might go longer). Some casinos are expected to leave the market in Dec, some will be allowed to stay. iirc its around June 2027 for stuff being actually put in place/enforced where stuff like autospins will be removed. It's still unclear on firm dates. 

As players we are free to play on casinos outside of our country where no such restrictions are in place btw, shouldn't impact me significantly other than some big brands opting out of NZ if they don't win a license.

So what exactly is happening with the regulations there? The UK has taken a big hits in recent years too!

also increasing the chosen currencies from 3 to 5 would be nice too. as for the random draw or one big win screenshot I suggest mixing it up one month its the usual highest multipliers and the next its a random draw.

The time is coming for me to review our contests for the year. I already have an idea to ensure all invoices will be completed earlier, so EXCLUDING payment related ideas please start submitting your ideas for our 2027 contests!! Then what I’m going to do is a vote and you guys can pick how we proceed based on the most votes. To make this happen though, you need to be submitting your contest ideas. No ideas, no votes. GO.

The first and most important item, where I'm concerned, is QUICK POSTING of each contest's final leaderboard, without waiting for end of the month to do it.

The final summary for each month should also be announced as soon as possible. 

[Blackjax]

I believe we should  remove the 3 currency rule and have a minimum bet rule of 5 cents. This way people can play at more casinos. 

Apart from @Afi4wins and @Maiwen everyone  who is active at AG is playing at other forums too and have no problem doing 20 cents and in some cases 40 cent bets. Why should 5 cents be an issue?

[Blackjax]

We can have an outlook for the whole year regarding themes for Premium AG contests during the starting of the year. We can have xmas, Halloween, st Patrick, sports, seasons, greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, alien, megaways and so on. Members can suggest what they want and 12 final themes can be decided. 

[Afi4wins]

I agree with @Blackjax on the 5 cents minimum bet suggestion, but I would also like to suggest allowing 5 payline games (5 cents min bet is standard for these games) instead of 9 paylines...but all paylines must be active, as always.
