Judging by your experience with us I would imagine that you tried to register quite a while ago. I can assure everyone here that in the last couple of years we have streamlined the whole operation regarding players located outside of France with dedicated support in English and German as well as our software and website fully available in these languages.

And then the letter gets at least 29 days to come and might take longer. For me it came at the last possible minute and I just got it fixed in time to not lose my funds (I tried opening an account on another .fr site and actually lost $ back then because they didn't send me the letter in time), and I know someone who I think actually got his account permaclosed just because the letter never arrived. So if you don't have an account and wish to play this series it's probably already too late unless you want to risk the letter not coming in time, although I guess it's a freeroll since if you lose who cares anyway.
I would like to make it extremely clear that the funds remaining on any closed account are certainly not lost. The balance remains on the account and can be recovered by completing the identity check and validating your postal address.

I find this question confusing as any tournament we organise that offers tickets instead of cash prizes is listed as a "Qualifier" or "Satellite" in the lobby.
So that we're on the same page, please specify for me which tournaments you are referring to that have this done to the prizepool.

You have 3 freaking starting days, do you really piss yourself that much that you're not going to make it?
As this is the first tournament we are hosting with a guarantee of €1,000,000 we want to ensure that our players have as much chance of making a decent run as possible.
Of course, it would be stupid to deny that we also want to make sure we reach the guarantee. I'm sure you will agree that this is not such a bad thing.
If anyone is having any trouble registering or completing the account validation process, please contact me (in this thread, via PM or skype: winamaxdave) and I will do my best to help you out
