Over 20 packages to be win for the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC - starting TODAY

Good morning.

During the month of May, a whole bunch of Promos will be run, where 6-Max UKPC seats will be up for grabs. These include £1,500 "packages" (which include a sum for travel & accommodation), £1,000 seats to the Event, & Satellite seats.   

There are 4 different Promos, plus, I hope, Ch 861 will be giving away Satellite Seats during the Shows.

To try & contain all the inevitable questions, & feedback, I've started this thread to try & keep them all together.
 
I don't really know any more than is on the Promo Pages, but I know a man & all that, so fire away with questions please.

Below, I'll try & work through each of the different Promos.

    First up, the easy one - FREEROLLS!

    There are FOUR x £1,500 UKPC Packages up for grabs via 4 x weekly Freerolls. The £1,500 is £1,000 for the seat, & £500 towards accommodation & travel.
     
    There will be ONE x £1,500 PACKAGE PER WEEK, plus a £500 prizepol, so £2,000 in total.
     
    These Freerolls - which cost TEN POKER POINTS to enter - will be every Sunday @ 7pm, starting THIS Sunday.
     
    The details are HERE

    PLEASE don't forget to read the Terms & Conditions, which are on the Promo Page. 

    Good luck.

    I don't expect anything as Alex asked above if you can't play, but is there any alternative if you win a package but already have a seat?

    Hi Alex,

    No, there is NO CASH ALTERNATIVE I'm afraid.

    You won your seat via a weekly Final (well done!), & the Promo Page for this is
    HERE

    Note T & C # 7, which states.....

    7. No cash alternative is available for any part of the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat, nor is the seat transferrable. Winners must not sell or transfer their Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat to any third party and winners are responsible for the payment of any applicable tax, if any, due on winning the Prize, and/or any prize money won by participating in the Event.

    I can't realy comment beyond that, but if you wish to contact Customer Care, please do so.
     
    It'd be a real shame if you are unable to make it, it should be a wonderful Event, & I'm sure you'd have some great memories to take away.

    In any particular Promo, Paul?

    As far as I can see, generally, the T & C's state this....

    3. You may participate and enter any of the promotions as many times as you wish however you may only win a maximum of one (1) Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Main Event seat. This includes seats that were won via satellites or any other means.

    Well as far as I know, the same answer applies as I gave to Paul, namely....

    Life's just not fair sometimes, eh?

    I do think this does need some more clarification. It states you can participate in many as you want but can only win one 'seat/package'. I think the question is...... can players grind the 'sats for cash' when they have already won a seat?

    Morning Tikay,

    Lets test you!

    As its re entry, could we say qualify online and win one through the promo so we had one bullet in reserve?

    If this isn't the case, Where there are a set number of seats and someone wins one who has already qualified would their seat go to the next on the list or is it lost?

    Matt

    Thanks Alan.

    The answer to that is very simple indeed. I just don't know it......

    Based on the T & C's, it would appear NOT, but I'll have to ask that man I know, & get back to you. 

    I will sort of collate all the questions daily, & send them up to that man once a day, to save making too much of a nuisance of myself.
     
    Hopefully, I'll have an answer by tomorrow morning, or someone from the Office will reply themselves.

    Yes, I will ask, Alex, but the T & C's seem to clearly cover this, as per my previous reply to you, so I'd not be optimistic that the reply will be a 3 letter word beginning with "Y".

    Some background to that one, Mr Matt.

    In an ideal world, yes, that'd be a great idea, though I suspect the Admin might be a bit awkward, & hence it has not been offered.
     
    Worth noting that ALL the 6-Max UKPC seats won on Sky Poker.com, either via qualifying, or Promos, are for DAY 1C, which is the third & last "Day One". 

    1A & 1B are both "Re-Entry" days (A can re-enter on B, B can re-enter on C), but C is a proper FREEZEOUT.
     
    It is for this reason that all the seats won on Sky Poker are for 1C, as most of those who win a seat here will not be funded to re-enter, & so may feel disadvantaged if they play 1A or 1B.
     
    I'm sure, however, that DTD could be persuaded to move any qualifier from C to A or B if they specifically request it.
