A wise man once said "Actions speak louder than words."

Whilst we have apologised for the network wide outage on Wednesday night we know that it has left many of you frustrated and annoyed.
As a sign of our gratitude for your continued loyalty we would like to announce a one-off $10,000 added tournament on Saturday 15th October @ 19:00 CET

for more details go to http://poker.betfair.com/en/promotions/10000_added_tournament.php

The buy in for this event is $2 (no fee)

Apologies again and good luck in the tournament.

Love

Take the laptop with you and multi-table or get the missus to play for you.

PS  - another benefit of playing the live freeroll, you dont expect it to crash half way through.

By:

When: 14 Oct 11 19:14
how does one prove that safc? eg: i was going to log in, read the forum and didnt bother. was i affected?
By:

When: 14 Oct 11 19:20
I wasn't affected as I was playing elsewhere, I've registered.

In a way it will bring people back to the site, especially low stakes players who haven't played in a while. It could be money well spent and am sure this is Ongaming cash and will cost Betfair nothing.

Yet another pr mess from betfair.

Why are they rewarding the freeroll players?  Surely they want to reward players that can afford  more than $2?  I was not playing at the time of the outage, so would not have minded being excluded from this tourney either, although experiencing several other outages should qualify me  Happy  A $10 or at least $5  entry fee would have made more sense.  Even more sense would have been to ask the forum what they would like to do with the $10,000, perhaps betfair might do this in future?  Like they could have asked about what kind of community tourney prizes we wanted, instead of the prizes people want to change at the moment.

I have entered but cannot see myself playing hours on end for a top prize just appromimately four times my usual mtt top prize which only has just over a hundred players and finishes in about three hours.  I dread to think how long this will go on for.

FOUR THOUSAND AND EIGHTY EIGHT ENTRIES AND A TOP PRIZE OF $2376.09  Cry

WTF is CET anyway, and how is normal folk meant to know what time that is in real money ?

Starting at 6 o clock on a Saturday is madness anyway, everyone normal is on their way home from the match at this hour. [;)]

would it have made a difference chip? [;)] saved yourself $2


For clarity this is an Ongame promo, so not so much of "another pr mess from betfair."

The Betfair PR team are superb at their jobs. They are let down by other weaker links.

As I posted earlier, I wasn't hanging around for 4000 players. UTG pushed all in for 30 chips and I called JJ, don't think I made a bad play as I reckon his push range is a bit more than AA Happy

Continued loyalty? Don't push your luck... do you think we are a bunch of mugs?

Why would any sane person be loyal when the product you offer is **** and only works on Thursdays.
