Title: poker package
Post by: jaymage on September 19, 2010, 06:53:06 PM
i won a tournament a few weeks ago on a well known poker site. (not connected to this site)
the prize was advertised as "WIN A PACKAGE" I bought in and won my package.
well not so, now the poker site changed my prize to just a SEAT.

Sent them many emails about this, there not interested.

is there anything i can do?

The prize would surely have a had a $ value - what was the $ value of the prize you won and how much is the seat worth?

Yes I noticed it now says "seat only".
They obviously got it wrong in saying "package"....but to be fair they are running $5 rebuy sats and giving away £1,650 every week.. a very large overlay.
I guess they could say you get a free drink at the bar as a "package"....tbh I don't think you can do anything,they worded it wrong but they decide to ignore it!

'Package' is a pretty subjective term, if it had been something like 'win seat plus hotel, expenses etc' I think you probably have grounds for a complaint, but here I think you are just a bit unlucky

As the old saying goes, when life gives you lemons, sugar and a big heap of ice, provide your own glassware and make some f***ing lemonade.

check all the 888 details for the lpc they are only giving away buy ins. 888 tend to look after their players by rule and a friend of mine has won aussie millions and vienna open packages and had  a great success with the hospitality
