swampster Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Re: WSOPE FREEROLL WPT Magazine - 14th September couldnt log on - were the east europeans kicked off prior to the start? Unlike Poker Player and IP, we do distribute to Europe so may be tricky banning an entire swathe of Europeans but we did enquire a few hours before kick-off.

jedinight7 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Re: WSOPE FREEROLL WPT Magazine - 14th September i dont see any changes being made in the near future, the value being added by any "decent" poker magazine vanishes into thin air when around 70% of uk comp are non uk, Surely the mags can put a request into the poker site being used to make the tourney not only passworded but country regional? is it only pokerstars that seem capable of doing simulare?:unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedinight7 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Re: WSOPE FREEROLL WPT Magazine - 14th September Page 23 of the new issue of WPT POker (Brit players cover), giving away a package to the £1,000 event at the WSOPE. 1st place gets a a seat plus £300 expenses. 2nd-5th get a $109 buy-in to Betfair's daily $18K GTD, 6th-9th each get a $55 buy-in to Betfair's daily $5k GTD Turbo. FREEROLL is password-protected but you can find it by visiting your local newsagent, depositing £3 of your hard-earned into the nice man's hand and purchasing a copy. Better still, subscribe :) Cheers Jon Is it not slightly embarrassing asking people to visit local newsagent and pay their dues when the vast majority of players are foreign and don’t pay anything? The only logical reason I can see from a magazine point to have bloated numbers is to please the editor, but surely the price is too high if a genuine paying subscriber chance is greatly reduced?

Lets hope Swampster is on the case .... whats the point of stating UK only if they aren't gonna stick to it .... Doesn't bode well when this situation has cropped up many times before on different sites via diff mags .... You'd think all parties would have learnt to set it up as per Pokerstars in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only logical reason I can see from a magazine point to have bloated numbers is to please the editor, but surely the price is too high if a genuine paying subscriber chance is greatly reduced? As i pointed out to the guy who came 2nd, we're talking to Betfair about this and why so many Eastern Europeans were allowed in the tournament. The magazine IS available in Europe but again, it's obviously a forum abuse that's allowed so many to register. I'm not happy with the password being spread around forums like that. I'm not interested in 'bloating' entry numbers, jedi, by the way, especially from people who blatently havent bought the magazine, whichever country they come from. This is a problem obviously that other magazines are having and something we'll need to sit down with the poker firms about and clarify just who and who isn't eligible.

shogun25 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Re: WSOPE FREEROLL WPT Magazine - 14th September Normally on most ,if not all the sites i play if it states uk and ireland ,you cant sign up whether you know the password or not if you aint from this country ,i subscribe to 4 magazines and my mate has a few as well ,as far as im concerned ,the whole idea of having forums is to help fellow players ? the point is betfair should have knocked this on the head pretourney and do the right thing and give the highest uk player a seat as well?

Jon' date=' your own t&c`s confirm UK and ROI only,so a no brainer really[/quote'] If it were that clear and unambiguous in the Mag, then I cant see why there's any need for investigation/discussion - as Al says - it's pretty clear. Appreciate that the mag is distributed in Europe too - but in that case, anyone outside the UK getting the mag would see quite clearly that they were not eligible and would not have entered. For once :tongue2 I agree with Al! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
