My first thought had been that this was quite a stringent condition for qualification, but now I'm not so sure. :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll So to qualify for the freeroll by playing tournaments you will have to play 6 $10+$1(min) in 24hrs period to qualify... The Fee is a tournament is the rake not the buy in...i.e $10+$1.....the fee is $1 Is that right.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll Presume it's table time too :unsure So if you're 4 tabling, then just 30 minutes play.... If you're going to play, must be worth going for the 10,000 starting stack :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll I played about 30 mins on 5 tables just before midnight :ok ($0.02/$0.05) - plan on doing that daily for the next 7 days :loon Hopefully will get me in with the full 10,000 chips :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
step1 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll gaf said: I played about 30 mins on 5 tables just before midnight :ok ($0.02/$0.05) - plan on doing that daily for the next 7 days :loon Hopefully will get me in with the full 10,000 chips :) sounds cheap enough but will the rake be large enough. maybe the rake needs to be 25c like other qualifiers.:unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll Overall the T&C seem pretty poorly defined/unclear - hope we get in ... :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
step1 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll Hello Michael, Thank you for contacting Purple Lounge, we apologise for the delayed response. Please note that in the Terms and Conditions reads "A day of play will consist of at least 2 hours of raking play at ring games or Sit and Go?s or at least 6 MTT games bought into in a 24 hour period with a minimum fee of $1 USD". In regards to playing on SNG tables, I confess that I'm not 100% sure of the lowest required level. I have at this time forwarded your issue to our Technical team and asked for confirmation, however my suggestion is that you play for two hours of whichever level you wish. Kind regards, Boris Purple Lounge Support lol..they don't know either:rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll I respect them admitting they dont know :ok Too many customer support people will just guess when they don't know (and often get it wrong).... Am still keeping up with my 2 "table hours" per day :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamkiller Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll Clears a few things up You are through to Purple lounge chat support an agent will be with you in a moment.. You have been connected to Jonathan . Jonathan : Hi, my name is Jon, how can I help? colin : hi with regards the $20 freeroll on 2/12 .. i spoke to u earlier ... any luck on criteria pls colin : $20k that is lol Jonathan : haha. I've spoken briefly to a colleague Colin and they advised that it states in the T&C, but if you bear with me, I'll see if I can get further information for you. colin : k it just doesnt show level of stakes .... colin : can you play low level cash tables Jonathan : If you earn rake at the table, then the terms and conditions appear to stipulate that they count. colin : k so is it an amount of rake or just 2 hours combined time of tables ....ie 4 tables at 1/2 hour each = 2 hours pls Jonathan : It has to be 2 hours in total. It cannot be divided up amongst tables like you have suggested. colin: or if you play at a table and fold your time still counts for that hand ?? colin : as long as you sit at one table for 2 hours then ??? Jonathan : Again it doesn't stipulate that it needs to be for the full length as long as 2 hours over the course of the 24 in total. colin : ok cheers ... so if I play at $0.04 or $10 it doesn't matter then Jonathan : As far as I can tell, as long as you rake, it should count. I'm going to have to double check this though. The Technical team haven't gotten back to me since they said it stated so in the t&c which is infuriating. I'm going to pressure them for a firm answer. colin : cheers for your help ...... i shall contact you later to confirm ... keep on at em lol ... cya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamkiller Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll He had spoken to the relevant dept he said so unfortunately not ... but I'm just gonna play one table for 2 hours to be on the safe side :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spannerjago Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll Well I disagree with support and the relevant department. It says 2 hours of raking play. It doesn't specify the level or the amount of tables. If they are going to offer these promotions they should be clear about what qualifies. I shall be pushing them to let me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

step1 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll I believe they deliberately make the conditions ambiguous in order to trap the unwary.:@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll Not sure about that - it makes little difference to them how many qualify for the freeroll - it costs them the same - there's no reason for them to lose goodwill over it - they want as many people as possible to strive to achieve it....

pistonbroke Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll I have registered for this probably wont make the full buyin Can you tell on the site how many hours you have played ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamkiller Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll I don't think you tell off the site how long you've played. They were adamant that I could not multi-table so the past 2 nights i've played a 2hr stint on one table .... then 2 x 1hr stints on 2 tables ie one after the other. Hopefully this is the right way to get 7000 chips if I play until 30/11........... on the way i've played tight but accumated $20 , $20 and $10 profit :) ..... not alot but maybe this is the way forward... Its on every month so should be good ........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll Grrrrrrrr...... I stopped playing the cash tables after such clear and unambiguous direction from live help that it was "real hours" and not "table hours" .....I never played for more than about 45 minutes - and no way I could manage 2 hours every day..... Just had an email through from them saying I'm in with 4,000 Chips - so it's definitely Table Hours........if I'd known that, I'd have kept playing and got the 10,000 chips :wall :wall When will a poker room find support staff that can answer your question, AND get it right? :wall :wall :wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Re: Purple Lounge - Deep Purple $20K Freeroll You weren't wrong DK - it was their error, not yours :ok I did contact them myself as well, and got the same response ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
