[/ QUOTE ]Betfair have signed up as "promoting sponsors" or some such made up term.

I think the idea is that they are exclusive satellite sponsors, and presumably HArrahs have prohibited any other poker room from offering sats?

There's a rant on the hendon mob forum about this. OP seems to have an agenda, but anyway, cross linked from there http://www.thehendonmob.com/forum/vi...sc&start=0
