@WSOP would there be a fee if using a credit card?

@WSOP
Yes, not by us or for us, but to processor.

If it's 3%, that's $30 on a $1000. For me it would be worth it for one event because my bank charges $30 for a wire. Registering completely online is a lot less hair off my ass than going to the bank to arrange a wire. But for multiple events or higher amounts it would be cheaper using a wire.

The main registration line actually wasn't very long for flight A, the only flight I was there for. But the flight was sold out hours before it started so that may have contributed to the shorter line. Also there were more pre-regs and a lot more hype last year as it was the first time they ran it.

And there is a separate area for those who pre-reg'd online.

If I play flight A, I will buy-in the night before to be safe.

Was thinking of regging the night before (thursday june 2nd). You think it will sell out or i'll be able to get a seat? Lines are not an issue I have plenty of free time when I arrive in Vegas.

"Online" pre-regged today. PITA, and that coming from a guy who used to do Grateful Dead Mail Order back in the day. So many steps, so many rules.

Didn't see anything about using a credit card, opted for the cashier's check, same as last year. Mailing it out tonight.

Took a few tries to get BravoPokerLive to accept me as a user. I'm thinking their site isn't used to so much traffic. I expect once word gets out this afternoon/evening, the "user experience" on their website will go to complete ****. YMMV.

Is it June yet?

I was able to register at 7:00 the night before flight A last year. It was a very short wait.

I finally got my Total Rewards Player ID to work, but I'm waiting to see a credit card option. Twitter WSOP account says it's not ready yet and that they will announce when it is working. Hopefully I didn't make an error by funding the BravoCard with sufficient funds to cover the Colossus buyin.

If you need a refund and you can't be at the Rio, you have to request a credit card refund via email prior to start of the event where they start a "paper work process". And of course, only the entry fee portion will be refunded.

Ugh, if I have to use Bravo, I'm out and will register a different way. The Bravo site was always flaky for me and has been unusable by me for the last month. I keep getting a weird error when I log in.

Why would you need a bravo card ? Just to save fees?

I was thinking of doing the cashier's check option for Colossus since it's $10 from Wells Fargo, but I think it's worth it for me to fork over the $16.38 fee for the $565 entry to do it by credit card as I can just shuffle my Bovada money on to my Visa and then off to the WSOP.

Somebody got a valium for caspro?

Bravo isn't a card, it's the system WSOP uses for registration...and is also the software used to keep track of cash tables and tournaments almost universally throughout Vegas. You definitely need to get the Bravo Poker app for your phone, by the way.

I believe you can only register for ONE flight at a time. So you would only be able to register for the next day's 4pm flight after you bust. If you happen to make it through to day 2, you CANNOT register for another flight. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
