Winning entries into ~10K events online.

thylacine · #1 01-14-2007, 06:36 AM

What is the future of being able to win entries into ~10K events (e.g. WSOP(C), W(/E)PT, etc.) via online satellites.

I did this a couple of times, but it seems the US legislation, and conflicts between online sites and B&M tourney operators, are diminishing or eliminating these possibilities.

I am not interested in B&M satellites. I play satellites online for fun and if I get into some big event, then that's more fun.

Any info about what sites have sats to what events?

I'll give this post one bump. Maybe this forum isn't much populated with online satelliters, but it is an issue that affects these big events.

It's likely they will rise/fall with the online population. It looks like the next year or so will be some hard times, so it's likely that these numbers will begin to fall.

bump with the hope that someone will find WSOP sats somewhere

UB has WSOP sats every Friday. $200 I think and they have daily qualifiers to get into the Friday tourney.

Do they explain the logistics regarding them awarding you with a 3rd party entry??

Good question. Unfortunately I only have $$ at PS and FT, and I don't plan to move them for a while. UB's software was too wierd for me.

I noticed FullTilt's Winner's Choice has changed from when I played them a year ago. (Got 2nd once [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) Also they seem to be offering WPT events, not WSOP(C). I was wondering what's up with this. Links:

My site of choice is PS. They treated their players well at last WSOP. But I am fearing those days could be gone. They seem to be offering lots of EPT satellites, but no WPT or WSOP as far as I can tell. Again, I was wondering what's up with this.
