240 STTs in 24 hours

[Swordpoker]

Beers and poker at my gaff on Saturday night anyone?

Will help me stay awake during the final batch.

Sounds like an excellent plan. Do we get to prod you every time you look like you're falling asleep?

[thetank]

Yeah, or a bucket of cold water.

Whichever you feel is best, go with your instincts.

[Indestructable]

i have made a transfer to your pokerstars account.

[TheJagster]

Excellent Idea Tank m8.   Good Luck...Win em all!

I'll sponsor you to the tune of 10p per stt plus the cost of a couple of cans of Red Bull   

Jaggers

[patman]

ok tank...now i`m on the right thread.

10p a n hour...makes 24 quids i believe

fair play to you.

Maths isn't my strong point, but surely 10p per hour is £2.40?!?!

  claw...lol.

i either meant 10p a tourney or quid an hour...either way i`ll pay the outcome.  does that come to 6.72

[thetank]

No it comes to...er

£107.23

How do you want us to pay?

Numerous options.

4. By Pokerstars transfer (username: tigmong)

I've posted this on the thread in the internet section and thought i'd better post it on this thread as well as i notice a few people have already chosen this option!!

Word of warning if you do get a lot of people sponsoring you then it isnt advisable to have them all pay you by transferring money into your pokerstars account at the same time.

Pokerstars become very suspicious of things like this as they think that people are using their site for things other than playing poker.

The following is one of the clauses from their terms and conditions:

"4.2 PERSONAL USE. The Software is intended solely for your personal use. Commercial use of the Software is strictly forbidden. The User is only allowed to wager for his/her personal entertainment. Under no circumstances shall a User be permitted to use his/her "real money account" with PokerStars for any purpose other than for playing the Games. The User agrees that his/her use of the Games is in a personal (and not professional) capacity. Before the User participates at PokerStars, he/she is responsible to verify the laws on gambling which govern the User use of the Software in order to determine restrictions and act in accordance thereto. The User must provide full and truthful information regarding his/her legal name and identity when such information is requested by PokerStars. A User may not have more than one account with PokerStars."

I know someone who was selling something over the internet and got people to pay by transferring money into his account - pokerstars froze his account for several weeks before he could convince them that he wasnt doing anything untoward. Eventually they unfroze his account but he has to be very careful when he wants to transfer funds in or out of his account.

[The Truth]

Thanks for that Matt, how many of us ever check the small print? (me bad!)

If anyone is wanting Game for Life to claim Gift Aid please PM me details of yor sponsorship or send the money directly to Game for Life. Game for Life now has a credit/debit card merchant number and SHOULD be getting its new machine next week so credit/debit card donations will then be taken over the phone if preferred.

Perhaps those that play regularly play on Pokerstars (I don't as they are not corporate sponsors of P4C/G4L) can pester contact them to see if they would like to contribute. If their contribution is £1000 or more they will become corporate sponsors for the next 12 months.

[The Truth]

Forgot to mention if anyone requires a personal reciept please pay directly to Game for Life otherwise thetank will be reciepted for the TOTAL raised.

Thank you for your support.

I dont check it either, the only reason i know about it is because i know someone who had their account temporarily frozen while pokerstars looked into "unusual activity" on his account.

Maybe tank you could get in touch with pokerstars and tell them of your quest of 240stt's in 24 hours and ask if they would donate the rake they receive for every tourney you enter during the 24 hours in question? 240 $55+$5 tourneys would be $1200 and its not like pokerstars will miss it afterall they get to keep the other $9600 they make from your opponents!!

One thing that I ought to add is that pokerstars keep a track of who is transferring you money too, and if they see your 2 names on the same stt, as honest as it may be then they can go further with it
