The billionth hand dropped after 00.25 am on thursday morning? Up until then i had 45 points but was in a11 quid dym when the hand dropped  with the dym having started at 00.25 am.Do i presume you receive points as soon as you reg?It would take me to 56.Im not allowed to reg!Have you heard me ROOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!

    Hi Mr Chill,

    As far as I know, the points don't count until the game ends.

    However.......

    The entry requirement is

    Earn 50 points in the 24 hours leading up to the billionth hand.

    See
    HERE

    So if - IF - you earned 50 points in the 24 hours preceding that, you are entitled to enter. If you did not, & needed that last game which only started at 0025, then you missed the points target I'm afraid. 

    There was a bit of a problem with the data, & a few others who genuinely qualified have had a problem, & CC have sorted them all out. Over 800 have entered safely already, so it's not everyone, but some are deffo having a problem.  But if you did not earn the 50 points, then I'm afraid you are not qualified.

    In Response to Re: Billionth freeroll : Not sure i will bother.But there is a fine line as regging and the game starting should be points in the bag.And so say all of us.

    Point taken, but the rules are clearly shown as to how Rewards Points are earned, & they say this under FAQ.....

    "8. I have played a game but my points are not showing?


    Points from a Tournament or Sit & Go are awarded once the Tournament is complete
    . If you are eliminated from the game before midnight, but the tournament does not complete until after, your points will be allocated to the later day."

    Whilst trawling the job sites, came across an ad for a concrete salesman.
    I mean how can you sell concrete?

    With a £20,000 prize pool, & 1,563 runners, it was worth just under £13 a head. I'd say that was an impressive Freeroll by any standards.

    put it this way i played the main event tonight via a sat (1.60 :) ) which had a £10000 prizepool and a £20000 freeroll.

    was really going well in both aswell but got rushed to work :( and had to play on rubbish net at work.

    still managed a tidy profit of min cash in freeroll £20 and a big bounty about £17 in main.

    my point is a freerole more than the main event is awesome!!!!!! and booking loss of earnings to my work hee hee.

    Ha, very good, but contrary to rumour, Jack's body - with or without hat - was dumped in the English Channel, just off Newhaven.

    Yes it got the numbers cos anyone with an account could reg. However if you regged just to see if you could and then de-regged to re-join at late reg, then it wouldn't let you reg again. Hence no free money for me!

    yes something fishy going on. when I checked on fri eve to see what night the freeroll would be I was already registered.
    528 players were, so I assumed everyone who qualified was pre-entered.

    on sat eve, I wasn't registered and had to re join.

    so are we to presume sky just changed the rules on the night to reward everyone or is it a glitch?

    and whats with this statement that new players who qualify for the UKPC will have to be who they said they were, when its perfectly ok to donate your seat to someone else? Do T&Cs only apply when sky wants them to?
