Man.... I'd love to play in that. But Stars already told me if I win a seat through them, it would be like throwing money out the window.

Full Tilt, on the other hand, is trying to accomodate people who already have seats. They are revising their Terms and Conditions now and will be getting back to me when they are finalized.

Shit, with my luck, Id get into this just for the hell of it and actually win one. Since Im only 18 it would be worthless to me.

Will Stars let you sell WSOP seats?

I fancy this one a lot more.

Now, all I need is a FullTilt account. Wonder if TP has any bonus offers on this one?

Both on the same day. hmmmm. I guess if FT will let you use the 10k seat in the prelims then I might just try to get in both.

I hope you are asking TP - because unlike me: he actually goes to and participates in the WSOP. I, on the other hand, grind out low limit NL games, and waste my profits on MTT buyins.

In at attempt to answer, I'm pretty sure you cannot sell your seat.

I don't think there are ANY sites out there that will let you sell the first one you win, but most of them will let you sell any additional seats you win.

The problem comes about when you win "first seats" on multiple sites. Hence, me not playing in any more WSOP satellites, even though I would love to.

You know, posting over and over throughout the forum about having no money probably isn't going to get you any money. You'd be better off spending your time selling Big Macs (pun intended).

Not to go off topic but why join a poker forum designed for cash players when u have no money?

And i am already working on staking 3 people in this.

Question TP - if u win a seat can u transfer it free to someone else?

Quote from the Full Tilt promo -

We've loaded our schedule with lots of great WSOP tournaments, giving you tons of chances to win a seat to the Main Event. And, if you win multiple WSOP Main Event seats, you could become our King of the WSOP which will get you first-class airfare, and upgraded suite at the Rio Hotel, 24 hour limo access, and a crown on the avatar of your choice for one year. So, with all of this and an extra $10 million up for grabs, why would you play anywhere else?


So u get nothing back from winning the second seat, just first class air, slightly bigger suite, a limo ( not that u need it ) and a crown?

Id rather have the $10k, or them put me in 2 prelims

I hope this is ON TOP of the 10k, because all of that doesnt sound like its worth 10k to me.

Oh and PS. why is it that this site attracts 12 year old retards with 12c to their name?

The air fare is about $4k i reckon
The limo on call with be another $2k ish
The suite might be $2k in WSOP week, depending on quality
The crown is worth 5 mins of some geeks time.

So maybe they will try and pass it off.

And i agree about the $0.12 guy.

Eejit, care to explain about the staking that you are offering?

Of course not. That's on top.

And as I keep saying (at least it feels like it), most sites say you have to play the first seat you win with them, so as of now - no, I wouldn't be able to transfer it to someone else. Full Tilt is considering changing their terms though. When I emailed them, I suggested they give me the same extra prizes (cash, travel, whatever) but instead of a 10k Main Event Seat, 10k worth of entries to other WSOP events. I believe they are considering it...

The staking is in the pipeline, ill let this forum know as and when i get it going. it basically involves me forking out $1,500 for 5 entry for 5 people. Ill let u know as i said.

TP - sorry, but u didnt answer my question. If i win a seat, and its the first ne ive won ever, on any site, for this WSOP, can i transfer it to another player, if we settle out of their site jurastriction? And if so, which sites?

you are required to use the first seat on any site that you win with the name registered to the account.

I'm not sure how to answer this any more clearly.
