Fire away

Is there a list of winners for the Rangers giveaway?

I posted the below in the first "office hours" thread but it appears to have been overlooked:

I have read that some people have been trouble having their total rewards status matched after completing the 4 month requirements. I will hit my 4th month later this month. Is there a person or email address that we should contact that will be able to handle this process more easily?

Cash game traffic has been going down a bit lately, are you going to do any targeted promotions to try and get this hopping again?

I second this^

Also, do you take software feature requests in this thread? It seems like many full ring players are against sitting short handed, much like in a real casino. Can we implement a table-starter list, where a player puts his name on a list, and a table gets fired up when X people are added to the list? Also, allow people who want to fire up multiple tables to remain on the list.

I'm sure this information is out there somewhere but I've scanned your site and this forum and can't see it.

I'm British and wondering if I can potentially play on your site over the summer in Vegas to play a little online poker. Plan would be to deposit when I arrive and withdraw when I leave. I don't have an American address or bank account but wondered if I could do these transactions via neteller for example? Are you encouraging non Nevada residents or even non Americans? Are there any other issues, for example no social security number or the fact that I don't pay tax in the US?

Basically I've seen people hint this is possible, but assumed there must be hurdles to it. Are there?

Bill, I just watched another welcome week freeroll with 0 players. We need to get new blood in or this is going to die on the vine....

will there be a 25 seat scramble to the main event for NJ players?

I'm sure there is. I don't think we published the list though.

We'll have a look at it.

I think that issue has been resolved. Our CS people have been contacted by VIP support and been brought up to speed on the status matching.

I think if you look at the entire market in NV and NJ they've both dropped off. It's not like one site is setting new highs and others are hitting new lows. It's a broad-based malaise.

Going by PokerScout's numbers, the entire market size in NJ on Jan 31st was 564 players (7-Day moving average) and 195 in NV. As of today, the NJ market is 435 players and NV is 170.

So, Y2Dennis, looks like the rooms are doing all they can. What are the players going to do to get more games going? LOL

Actually, this tends to be a slack season for poker. You can go look at any site and see how after Jan, numbers tend to enter a steady decline.

As you probably know, we do not own our software platform so "feature requests" are of marginal value in this thread.

Just trying to be honest.

Probably not. That's $250,000 in seats. I don't know if there's a level of interest in NJ to come anywhere near covering that.

We might do a 5 or 10 seat but we would have to see how other satellites for WSOP events are performing.

You should be able to play. It's a little more tricky because you can't provide the same documents to establish identity but it's doable.

Your best bet is to contact customer support via email and ask them what you'll need.

I'm actually having them put together a FAQ for non-US residents who will be coming to the WSOP. It's not complete yet but until it is, CS should be able to answer your questions on specifics.

If I've already won a Main Event seat, what would happen if I win another seat in the 25 seat scramble?

As I've said in the past, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Win 2 seats first and then we can discuss what options are available.

Was a light one this week.

Thanks. I'll schedule something for next week once I know my schedule a little better.
