I’m not speaking as someone completely familiar with the process, as I have never used the account. However, I don’t see how this will be in any way less convenient for those players who want to use satellite winnings to enter other events.
Your satellite money goes into the account. If you want, you can register online (app or website) for an event using the money in your account. Then you show up and print your receipts at a kiosk and go to your seat. Sounds pretty easy to me.
Or, you go to the cage and register there with the funds from your account. This is no different than registering in person like before, except you are not carrying a ton of cash around. I’ve never done it, but I would be surprised if paying with account funds takes that much longer at the cage. If it does, there is always the online option which skips the whole process.
The only real inconvenience is for those people who don’t want to enter other events with their satellite winnings and just want to sell their lammers person to person, avoiding any tax burden. For them, this new process would be decidedly more inconvenient.
