Do any sites allow you to unregister and take cash from tournaments that you have won the entry

So say I play a $1.10 satellite tournament and win an entry into a $11 tournament
Are there any sites where you can unregister from the tournament you have won the entry to and take the money instead

Not 100% sure but probably not.

I think it used to be quite common, but it's not now. A friend of mine was one of the (if not the) biggest winners in satellites for a couple of years back in the boom times. He qualified for tons of live events (UKIPT, EPT etc), and converted all his "spare" tickets into cold hard cash. When Stars stopped people from winning multiple "seats", he had to switch to other games.
On some sites, the 'target' tournament has already started by the time you win the satty, and you are automatically registered and seated. On others, you might be able to save your ticket for a decent amount of time (if there is a long expiry date on the ticket and multiple tourneys it can be used in), but I'm not aware of any site that currently allows satty-grinding as a money-printing device. That's not to say there isn't one. I just haven't heard of it. (I don't play much any more, but satties were my main format for a couple of years).
