Hi guys,
Im writing this thread to attract your attention regarding the WBCOOP 2013 Series. Pokerstars does not make any blogger selections and allows anyone to join.
According to their T&Cs only REAL bloggers are allowed to join if they make certain criteria. Now im going to copy and paste some of their paragraphs from their T&Cs :
-write and share with your friends and followers via social media, a 500 (five hundred) word blog post that you have written (“Blog Post”) or short video clip any format, no longer than 60 seconds in length (“Video Blog”), describing in your own words, “What has been your best moment playing on PokerStars?
-we require that you must have had an active online poker blog in operation for
a minimum of 1 (one) month prior to your submission and that the blog post must have been
updated regularly during this period.
- blog submissions will only be accepted in English, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Danish and Portuguese.
Few examples examples i would like to point out is how can join , maybe win the WBCOOP trophy and they have not even ever blogging in their life.I think that Pokerstars have really messed up in this respect.

The sad thig is that the list can continue.I found in the last 2 days at least 10 fake blogs wich wass created special for the WBCOOP promotion.
Bloggers who feel they have been cheated by Pokerstars should boycott the WBCOOP 2013 Series and ask for another blog submission to be verified and that those players who have not met the requirements and certain criteria should be eliminated from the competition.
I will be waiting for a Pokerstars Official Representative to respond and offer an explanation to this thread.
Please send this message to your fellow Pokerstars Pro Team bloggers. Feel free to copy and paste and share with other well known bloggers who are taking part in the WBCOOP.

Hi,
I would like to ask you a question regarding your views on Pokerstars` WBCOOP Series.
Firstly it has come to my attention that Pokerstars are not evaluating the rules which clearly state that players must have made a blog to participate in the WBCOOP. Players are being allowed to join the WBCOOP and clearly they have not made a blog so is it right that if a player wins this tournament without making a blog that it is legal as stated in theirT&Cs?
I think that Pokerstars should implement their rules as stated in the T&Cs and not allow players to join the WBCOOP.
What are your views on this matter ?
Thanks "
