It used to be $6, then it went down to $1. I am not sure exactly when, but it appears to have changed and is now $5.

Yep, certainly better than $1, but they still only credit 5 envelopes per month and they’re super slow about it. Still a nice occasional freeroll though.

That's great news! Promotions like this bring people to the tables.

I think before it was also limited to 5 or 6, I really don't remember. But I can understand that as well. If I can send in a couple thousand in a month, play through it even badly, I bet I can still get a livable wage out of it.

When I first read the OP before seeing the 5 per month limit, I had flashes of becoming a professional enveloper addresser in my head.

thx will do it. Never did it before was too lazy lol.

Looks like they changed it back down to $1...

"For each request a Participant submits the Participant will receive 1 Sweepstakes/Prize Promotion Cash. The Sweepstakes/Prize Promotion Cash will be added to the Participant’s account"

Hmmmm...but Splayaa...the 1st Class Letter postage to Ontario is .85, that would cost you $1700/mo.

So in the USA- (Stamp .55)+(envelope .03)= .58

Would take stuffing quite a few envelopes to make a living

Wow, and now it is back up to $5 again. Weird.

And I thought it was $1.00...I looked at the rules again and did not see anything about how many times a month you could enter. Am I missing something?? Can you enter until your writing hand gives out?

On March 12, it was $1 per envelope. Today it is back to $5 per envelope. I just had $25 credited to my account today for March for 5 envelopes I sent back on March 1. I am unsure if there is a limit per month, but historically it has been 5 per month, but maybe it could be "unlimited"?

Thanks, I reread the info page https://globalpoker.com/sweeps-rules and only saw that you received the $5 per envelope, nothing pertaining to the amount of entries.

I'd never mailed in before. It has been 3 weeks and no sign of dough. I don't want to send in for April unless I know it's going to work.

How long does it take to get credited? Is this normal? If no, can someone post a screenshot of their letter formatting so I know what I did wrong?

It usually has taken me around 2 weeks. But has taken up to 4-6 weeks before. I would say your time frame is normal. Patience is involved when it comes to sending in envelopes.

The letter format I use is:
1) Their address in the center
2) My name and return address .... top left
3) Bottom left...
Sweepstakes Credits
Month Year
4) Stamp ...top right

ok thanks, I will wait it out. I'll probably drop April's directly at the PO just in case

just to confirm you dont have to put anything into the envelope?

Correct, nothing goes inside.

No username?

It must not be necessary, as I just recieved my first 5 $weeps cash without including it. OP's directions are spot. FWIW I mailed mine out April 1st and it was credited April 27th, in case anyone is looking for an approximation of when to expect it to show up. They'll also email you half a day after they credit it lol.

I purchased 500 of these envelopes... Do they really limit to 5 per month?

I only got credited 2 for April though I sent 5. I don't see anywhere on the site where it mentions a maximum

WTF same...



these stamps cost $55 a roll now too WTF?!?!?!

Damn son, how many envelopes do you send in per month?

It is supposed to be #10 envelopes, not #6 3/4
