    Dear Kirsty.
    Unless you are planning to re-name this promo "The Magnificent SIX" can I draw your attention to the last tournament on the list.................. "OLD = 10K - NEW = 10K.
     
    A Typo....?.........or..........No increase in the guarantee at all?

    I expect this type of thing from Orford, but really? it's a bit too early to be picking up his bad habits :)


    Yours Sincerely
    Pokertrev

    Hi POKERTREV,

    Yes the promotions page is named Magnificent Seven purely due to the fact it's seven MTT's a night. 

    Thanks for keeping me on my toes though :)

    Hi Kirsty

    Nice to see the guarantees being increased-more traffic is good.

    However, constant improvements require regular checking. I was playing in a qualifier for the 12k today-tourny number 10436243. There were 11 entrants (£6.60 plus 60), and a £72.60 prize pool-2 seats guaranteed.

    I came 3rd, and received nothing-I am fairly sure 2 x £33 does not equal £72.60! Only £66 was distributed.

    I don't need the £6.60-please ask Sky to donate the £6.60 it has accidentally taken to charity. However, I am slightly disappointed that an error of this sort is possible.

    Hi Essexphil,

    Apologies to hear that you’ve had this experience. I have checked with our Tournament Operations team and they reported that they had been experiencing anomalies with certain satellite payouts this weekend. 

    This issue should now be resolved and you have been credited with the remaining £6.60. Thank you for contacting us as we strive to ensure we optimise every customer’s experience.

    Again, apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

    Kind Regards,

    Kirsty

    Thanks-though hope no-one else has been short-changed via these "anomalies"....this should not have been possible

    Kind regards
