Hi,

    @MAXALLY is perfectly correct. There is usually one at Easter, so as the saying goes, "watch this space".

    They also usually run one in late October/early November, plus the Xmas one MAXALLY mentioned.

    I don't know for sure if all three will run this year, but I'd be very surprised if they don't.

    What is the best way to keep informed of upcoming promotions? Twitter, FB, Email etc?

    And the promos page/tab. It's usually updated a few days before the end of each month with the following month's respective promo and is pretty user-friendly I'd say.

    As a response to this, will there ever be another mini UKOPS I've seen that it's happened in the last and I'm just wondering if there's a chance that it happens again

    @Humphrey43

    I genuinely don't know. If I had to bet, I'd say no. Just a guess though. Financially, they don't really work, they don't drive the extra traffic needed to justify the enhanced guarantees. The "big" UKOPS attracts players from other sites who would not normally play here, but the Mini version does not do that.

    Let's hope they give us a pleasant surprise & run them again at some point.

    @Tikay10 - do you know when the last mini UKOPS was held out of interest? Was trying to find it on the forum, and the last one I could find was November 2020

    @Asho28

    I can't remember tbh, but November 2020 sounds about right.

    Would it not be possible to run a mini ukops alongside the big ukops? Can still attract players for other sites and then mini events for players that want to play those.

    Not sure if that is too much of a risk but happens at other places when they do low, med and high events on the same festival.

    Hi Mark,


    It was always the case that the Mini UKOPS was run back to back with the big UKOPS, usually with a 1 or 2 week break in between. Even so, enhanced guarantees did not cover in many cases.

    I don't think running a "High" & "Low" UKOPS at the same time would work, there are not enough players here imo.

    There wasn't last year as the focus was on Vegas sats. No news this year and it's Easter next week. Any update?

    Same again this year as far as I know Ryan, they'll be focusing on Vegas Promos.

    Am I dreaming, oi did you come 2nd in a Vegas Promo last year? Would have been cool if you had finished 1st & won a package.
