It's because it makes too much sense. The more satellites that get played, the more juice that gets raked. Doesn't matter wrt the player that actually uses the lammers, rake is same with cash or lammers. If someone at the WSOP actually gave it some thought and created a policy it might make sense. As I said, I talked to a security guard that said they've never been issued official instructions to stop lammer sales. It's just some of the suits, that actually know nothing about poker judging by the ways I've been yelled at, that are causing all the crap.

They don't have to assist or whatever, just keep their noses out of it. Nobody in corporate legal thinks the taxation angle is a problem or CET would have a formal policy.
