*** OFFICIAL 2018 GRIZZLY GAMES THREAD *** - Page 4 - Global Poker -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Pretty pissed off. Won two main event tickets in two satellites, obviously expecting a ticket for the first and $218 sweeps for the second. When I received nothing after winning the second ticket, I emailed support saying this. A few hours later, I received the response shown in the picture below. I am beyond furious that I am intentionally being given the run-around, as earlier in this very thread we were told that we would receive the equivalent sweeps if we won multiple tickets. Would appreciate if someone from GP could please take care of this...

Wow, I'd be upset too, as they explicitly said extra tickets would be converted into sweeps cash. There's some chance they'll wait until 12:00EST Feb 13th (so like 23 hours from now) to send you that $, as that's when the series technically ends. They waited until that moment to give people prizes for the leaderboard of the last series, I think that's how they operate. So I'd maybe wait for that first.

Had like 120k chips in the main event and was like 2nd in the whole thing, pretty close to the money, when I spewed off 75% of my stack idiotically in one hand to a huge fish and had to settle for a mincash. I may or may not have thrown something. I rebuilt my stack pretty nicely and was like 17/40 left when I ran JJ into AA (and AKs).

MTTs are truly a hard way to make an easy living

Nice, haven't got mine yet but hopefully it comes shortly. Eagle Cup trophy was equally as awesome, really makes me want to win one every series

This is not the poster's situation. He's already registered for the event and intends to play. This was prize pool money he won, they can not void his prize and not pay him. They have to give him sweeps cash.

Additionally, their rep posted as much here:

Your first sweepstakes entry will be paid as a ticket. Any subsequent tickets will be converted to Sweeps Cash.
