    In Response to Re: Viva Las Vegas 2017 : Morning Lord Blessed, I can confirm Russian Roulettes DO count in the SNG League. Worth reminding everyone that whilst the Weekly SNG League Winner gets the Package, places 2 - 99 also get another chance in the 2nd Chance Freeroll, which itself also awards a £4,000 Package PLUS a £5,000 cash Prize Pool.   So a great number of players will get two chances to win the package, plus a decent (£5,000) cash freeroll.

    Doesn't effect me because I dont play the games but I would be gutted if I was a normal SNG grinder to see RR are included. Seems to go against responsible gambling to be encouraging players to punt for a package in a no skill game.

    Maybe it doesn't encourage the most responsible gaming etc but I don't see how it is any different to a casino or bingo promotion. There is no perceived edge in these games but plenty of promos to encourage participation.

    Also, where would you draw the line? There is less of an edge in turbo games than non turbo so in theory 'less skill', should all turbo games therefore be excluded from promos? If this is ridiculous and turbo games are fine then what about hyper turbos, 'spin ups' and so on. 

    If you think bingo and casino games shouldn't be allowed to have promotions encouraging participation then it is a fair enough point of view but rather restrictive on what we are allowed to get up to in our own time on the internet.
