Nevermind, maybe I'll make a few quid on the Blondepoker card room, anyone fancies a game of heads-up PM me.

Cheers Rob

The cashless system intrigues me as well.

I have serious reservations about how good it will, these come from my use of the mondex (which is essentially cash stored on a card) system they had at nottingham uni. Everyone found it far more convienient to use cash even though the mondex machines (to reload the card) were on site and the cash machines were 5 minutes walk away - and these are notoriously lazy students we're talking about! The whole thing was eventually scrapped...

Maybe the systems have improved now, I wouldn't know I haven't looked.

The other thing would be the prizemoney. I think it feels far more satisfying to be paid in cash then to have the amount added to your balance. Part of the buzz that makes live play better than online. Maybe that's just me though?

Whatever happens though it's great that this thread has restarted and we can see updates. The tournament schedule sounds great to me and I can't wait to play!

I've used a cashless system on a cruise ship before and I thought it was tremendous - you don't feel like you're spending real money so you're a bit quicker to spend it, which can only be good for DTD.

As for the prize money, a big concern of internet players who have not played live is 'will I be mugged the second I walk out the door if I win' - having any winnings squirted back onto a Switch card will solve that.

1. You will be able to get your winnings paid in cash OR put in on your card

2. Main reason for cashless is security and ease of use. Whatever teething problems we have will get sorted as club develops, but we won't be scrapping the concept, just improving it if things go wrong.

3. It will be a new way to operate, the Gaming Board really like the idea (ease of audit), and when people get used to it, they will as well, I believe.

PS. Flushy, you even lost in front of your girlfriend, Ginger, and I had to buy her into the comp that night cause you were skint. If I were you I would keep stum after that night. How could you gamble her tournamant buy-in V me at heads-up?
