Nic...

Without fanfare, the iPoker skin I frequent stopped offering WSOP Europe qualifiers around 28 July. On 30 July, support answered a query that these were being replaced by (a modest number of) EPT London qualifiers. Any idea what's up?

Edit: Support adds later:

We have decided to switch because the players were not fond (of) a super satellite with only (one) place for 69 competitors. The ratio will be better for this one.

[/ 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
