Anything back yet

OK I have got to the bottom of this after speaking to the teams involved.
(Please don't shoot the messenger)

The first tournament "Team Betfair Wants You" on 31st December was an all inclusive tournament available to all BF Poker customers i.e. anyone could play in it.

The second chance sponsorship tournament is a semi-exclusive tournament
You have to be registered with certain affiliate sites and must have received a personal invite to qualify.
I have made the Helpdesk and Poker affiliate team check that this list is up to date.

If you have not received a ticket yet it is because you do not qualify under the t&c's

hahaha nice try Bruce

You can have the password for our twitter free roll as a late Christmas present.

"hangover"

Starts at 8pm GMT

BfPRmanager are you full bank on the Man City win 2nite?

when is that twitter freeroll going to appear in the lobby?
Is it one of those daft 20$ ones?

shame as its only available to certain selected customers. that it didnt have a completly different name than a similar 1 to a competition that every1 could qualify.

instead, many of us regs notice it and feel a little agived that we couldnt qualify.

the twitter comp started anhr ago bruce. 285 runners, 100bucks in the pot.

yeah pretty awful, but that is a freeroll. good job i was full bank on man city 2nite #doubleup

Do we have to complaine all the time to get status of    affiliated players who have been specifically invited to compete for the ‘2nd Chance Sponsorship Tournament’, through official Betfair channels or you will explaine to all of us why we havent get that special invite ?

If you sign up via an affiliate, one of the fringe benefits is that you get the odd freeroll thrown in to keep you sweet.

I did not sign up via an affiliate, I am therefore not eligible for the tourney, and I have absolutely no issues with that.

The only gripe people who are not eligible can have is that the tourney IS VERY BADLY NAMED, and whoever dreamt the idea up will hopefully have that pointed out to them.

As usual Mr Chip you have a very valid point.
The name of the promo was not good and was misleading.
I will have words with the appropriate department.

I had no invite for the first one thanks betfair

The first one wasn't open " to anyone on Betfair " as you had to generate sufficent player points during the qualification period to get a ticket.

Thats not what that says

think u had about 6 weeks to earn 99 points if my memory is right.

not excatly hard, perfect for the recreational player.

I know de, that's why I pointed out that there was a qualification process. I think it might even have only been 60 points for qualification.

Either way it was cracking value with the top 100 getting paid at least 100 bucks, and only about 600 runners.

Yes, all credit to betfair for a great promotion. 

I qualified without realising it until I saw  a ticket in the players club.  I registered immediately as I thought I would forget about it and it so it proved    Luckily for me I then saw the thread by lady carla, thanks carla, on here and I remembered it, although I was an hour late!

I do not play no limit mtts so I thought I had no chance, but as I got closer to the last 100 players it was quite exciting.  I scraped  into the last 100 and the prize was $150, not $100.  Although I agree with others who have said they would have preferred the prize in a lump sum, rather than $5 a day. A thought for the future maybe betfair.

Do another one, betfair.  One promotion like this is far better than loads of silly little ones or ones only for the pro grinders.  Here was a chance for the recreational player to feel that they were valued.

Annie

Your point about one lump sum was made by your forum reps and is being taken on board by our promo team.
We agree about the distribution of funds to a wider audience rather than the pro-grinders and there will be more to come.

Thank you, BetfairPRManager

I only wish that you could teach some pr to chipfire, klup and helmuthian folds or stop them replying to my posts.

Annie - congrats. I'm sure you would have received encouragement from other forumites whilst playing if you had posted on the relevant thread. Many of us including chip were posting way after we crashed out. Well done anyway.

It is the original post that is slightly misleading though it is a question without a question mark! ?

Which is why lots of posts saying why not I?

Clearly I do not qualify but at least I now know if I had signed up via an affiliate i would have a 2nd chance.

Still it leaves me with where to play this saturday instead so will play more on Party Poker with rake free MTTs than I would usually play on Betfair for this saturday. Whether that gives me a better ROI who knows but items such as a rake free January is the type of promotion that BF could consider?

This sponsorship tourney was the best of the Christmas Promotions so it is hardly surprising that we would want to play again under similar circumstances.

The idea of 30 days @ $5 is great. It will teach the pros (low stakes or otherwise) rudimentary bankroll management skills. Though transaction wise it cannot be a great way of dealing with a prize distribution. Looking forward to seeing if there are any posts on missing sponsorship monies during 2012.

I'd rather the prize money went to forumites than elsewhere and would always offer words of encouragement to anyone doing well in the tourney.

When I exited the BF Snowball tourney on the final table I thanked everyone for a good game and wished them all luck, but I wanted Rhino who was still in the tourney, to go on and win it, and continued watching in the hope that he would.

It's always encouraging when you see one of the regulars winning something big. I know when I won the 5.7k package in the summer loads of people I will probably never meet in real life were congratulating me, and that makes it feel that little bit more special. Yeah we all play for the money, but a bit of recognition from your peers is the icing on the cake.

And yeah of course if I knew annie was still in approaching the bubble I would have offered encouragement and support, as I'm sure most on here would.
