[WPT Global] Official Thread - Page 6 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

We have satellites/feeders to each $1,060 Day 1 flight. Just to confirm I was not going crazy, I had a look back on yesterday's results, and what ran:

2x $1,060 Day 1 Flights

4x Feeders into the above, with $110 BIs - each guaranteeing 5 $1,060 seats

4x Feeders into the above, with $11 BIs - each guaranteeing 5 $110 seats

There were more in the lobby, but they did not get the minimum amount of players to start

We also have a $33 BI satellite each day, which awards at least 1 $1,060 ticket

Regarding more flights, it is counter-productive, as they would just end up getting 10-20 registrations each or not start (already a concern for the upcoming $3,500 $1M guaranteed)

These are the start times (Eastern Timezone) of the $1,060 Day 1 flights, and we like to have overall event start times from 04:00-20:30 ET to allow some sleep during a long grind

I appreciate the info. I think it's just a timezone thing. As you said before, the sats run before a day 1. You cannot unreg to bank your ticket and select your day 1 (you have to play the next one) which is something I will consider for next series and plan accordingly.

Almost forgot .... Please, add an option in software "always decline insurance offer" for those who prefer not to use it, because it will save time for everyone and will not distract . Thank you. !

I dont like the request for automatic time bank or longer time banks etc.

If you dont have enough time for 2-5% of decisions then you are playing too many tables imo.

Some of the suggestions in this thread are bad for the game imo.

The less like stars, party and GG, the better imo.

By far the most pressing issue is the stability of the client.

We don't have a gambling licence in the US, so if we want our ambassadors to promote us while they are there, we have to ensure that they are not gambling. Under US law, gambling requires three things - a) chance; b) consideration; c) prize.

Obviously, there's chance in poker - nothing we can do about that.

Consideration - we can take this away by ensuring that the ambassadors do not pay anything or risk their own money. So they're not allowed to deposit.

Prize - we can also take this away, by not allowing them to keep anything they win.

Without consideration or a prize, the ambassadors are clearly not gambling, and this legal principle holds up in many other countries as well, not just the USA.

So what you're saying is to make this "legal" you have house players, playing with house money, taking money from customers, and returning it to the house?

WOW...
