    I think I just bamboozled myself?
    Lou has just informed me that I'm not eligible for the poker tourny prize last night because I submitted my account # after the tourny began. I didn't even know that was a rule . First cash ever in these things and it's null and void. Looks like I have been wasting my time for the last few months playing these things as I never PM'd my account #. Looks like that Karma thing did come back I hope 2nd gets $200. If not that is beat.

    It should really specify that in the PM and not on a post in the Poker Forum. Only reason I went into the post last night was to claim I won it. After re-reading today I'm asbolutely amazed.

    Has this ever happened to anyone? Lesson learned I guess.

      Unreal. I can't believe I wasted a good 3 hours last night on that for nothing. Not to mention the previous months I was playing. Apprentely we are supposed to read the forum post not just the PMs. Seems decieving. SBR must be cutting back cause Trix is smacking that ass. Can I file a complaint?

              Man what's wrong with you lately pal? You use to be a top 20 poster but lately you have a chip on your shoulder. You want to talk about it Robinson?

                "Sam needs your account # to be eligible for prizes"

                Says that right in the PM.


                They don't want you playing a tournament, losing, then signing up 2 weeks later with that shitbook, and receiving that 25% bonus. They'd rather have you sign up a new account with them FOR the tournament, then you wouldn't be eligible for the 25% bonus from the store.

                  They keep switching between all the different sponsors for the poker tournaments, expecting everyone that plays to open an account to be eligible for the prizes that night. Which in turn would make them not eligible for new signup bonuses.

                  Smart move, and easy to see.

                    I've had a BP account. It's not like I just created one. I PM'd Sam my account number but you have to do so BEFORE the tourny start, I PM'd during the tourny. Something that is only stated in the forum posts and not the PM. Didn't realize I needed to read the PM as well as any other thread related to it to piece together the proper information to qualify. Not a big deal just thought it was funny. Like I said Trix is bankrupting this place.

                      Yep, should of read the thread. I don't think I've ever read the thread, but I've alway PM'd my account number before hand, because I thought they used to say it in the PM's.

                      No need to throw shots at SBR. They offer you the free tournaments.

                        Please I think I'm taking this semi-lightly. What would happen if this happened to some of the other people around here?

                        "No need to throw shots at SBR. They offer you the free tournaments."
                        Yeah no need to because it's free for everyone. Free for me and free for them. Imagine if I would've paid 20 points for this . Either way still a little cheap.

                          I think you're pretty salty about the whole situation. When the blame is solely on yourself?


                          Have you seen any of these threads before? There have been what about 20 tournaments, and theres probably been 100 different winners, and not 1 of these threads. So 99% of the people know how to follow directions.


                          You say SBR seems cheap
                          SBR is deceiving people

                          It's not SBR's fault that you wasted 3 hours last night, it's not their fault you've been wasting your time playing in these tournaments in the past.

                                I'm not the man....Just pointing out a couple facts that out of the 20 tournaments, there hasn't been 1 thread bitching about sending the account number. Sure it could of happened to someone else, but they probably realized that they fuckked up, and decided, not to make a thread taking shots at a forum that gives you something for nothing.

                                    As you can see I am also a pro. I think that means that I had 200 bucks to put in an online gambling book, which would mean I could probably afford to feed myself, and don't bet only with points.

                                    I just have nothing bad to say about the place that we all like to come to, to waste time/share thoughts on games.

                                      Niners, first off, I am sorry you are missing out on the payout.

                                      However, no blame should be cast on SBR in this situation.

                                      They require you to submit before because players with no Bet Phoenix account would not sign up unless they cashed in the tourney. Phoenix sponsors the tourney and provides the payouts and in return, they get new customers. Without the signups, we lose the tourney sponsors.

                                        No hard feelings homie, just poking the bull. Like I stated early I'm not really bent out of shape for 200 bills.

                                        Arsenal I hear where you're coming from but I wasn't trying to scam SBR. Like I said lesson learned. I already had the account was just 2 hours late with the PM. No biggie. Do I have to still submit for tomorrow's tourny?

                                          It might help to send that account number.

                                          I get on their (owner, admin, mods, etc.) cases when they aren't following their rules, so I guess I have to get on you when you aren't following them:
