$250 Freeroll for TP members - 11/30/06 9:30 PM

Feel free to not read this first section, as it's just background on where this freeroll is coming from, in case anyone cares: As some of you may have noticed, has been promoted fairly heavily in the SPAM section for the last few months. I know some members here got a little bit annoyed by this, myself included. I don't mind the spam so much (they were posting it in the right section, unlike 90% of the spammers who come here and get instabanned), but what I won't tolerate are people making multiple accounts, pretending to be different people, and having conversations with themselves. This happened a couple of times, resulting in numerous bannings and finally a PM to DreamPoker (the only account I didn't ban). Turns out Conrad is a decent guy, and felt badly for the excessive spamming. He says the only posts he made were under his account and the others must have been other people from his office. Whether this is true or not doesn't really matter. What matters is that he promised to put a stop to it and offered us a $250 freeroll as sort of an apology and a "Let's start over - come check out our site" type thing. Who am I to turn down a $250 freeroll???

I think when I signed up a long time back you had to email them after sign-up then they would credit your account in 72 hours.

Nice gesture. Unless I have obligations on the 30th, I don't mind taking this down.

Are we going to be able to withdrawal? LOL.

Hi Guys,

Please be sure to read our freeroll T&C before doing any withdrawals.

You can view them here.

Simply:

1. You need to be a real money player, having made at least a $20 purchase.
2. Play 25 raked hands which is easy to do,

even for me.

Once those play through requirements have been met our cashins division
will let your request go through.

It's really not hard at all.

Sounds like fun, I don't mind getting my ass handed to me by you guys at hold-em.

Get ready for dozens of new underage members posting here closer to tourney time and wanting to play
