GaF I tried to enter this other day and even though the website states current Pacific players can enter by phoning support - well I tried, and tried, and lied, and tried some more. But they say you can't join if you already have a Pacific Account,and quoted the small print which contradicts what the website said.:wall:wall Pacific truthfully must rank up there as the Worst customer support I have ever had to deal with on any Poker Site :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Re: Calling all PL stoooodents I think the issue is more technical that customer support ... but their tourneys (thinking most recently the PokerPlayer mag UK open series) are a NIGHTMARE to get into as a legitimate player!!!! The procedures that they publish to get in, just dont do the job..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Re: Calling all PL stoooodents It doesn't go into specifics, but I imagine it's 2 x "standard" round the world package (that you can probably design yourself) - something like 4-6 stop offs .... but I'm guessing... Some examples..... UK - Bangkok - Sydney - Cairns - Queenstown surface Auckland - Fiji or Hawaii - LA surface San Francisco - UK UK - Bangkok surface Singapore - Hong Kong - Sydney - Christchurch surface Auckland - Fiji - LA surface San Francisco - UK UK - Bangkok - Hong Kong - Bali - Sydney - New Zealand - New York - UK UK - New York - LA - Hawaii - New Zealand - Brisbane surface Sydney - Bangkok - UK UK - Johannesburg - Australia Multi Stop - New Zealand Stop - Fiji - Hawaii - US Single Stop - UK UK - New York surface Los Angeles - Hawaii - Fiji - Auckland - Sydney - Bangkok - UK UK - Bangkok surface Singapore - Cairns - Sydney - Auckland surface Christchurch - Fiji - Los Angeles surface San Francisco - UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
