I have attempted to opt in but unfortunately I am presented with a message which states that access is prohibited. It would seem that the site doesn't believe that I am in the UK. Unfortunately for me I am very much sitting in my house in Newcastle

I think this is a brilliant promotion. Of course, the big players are gonna obtain more tickets (and I believe that to be fair to be honest) and more likely to win, but it's great that small stake players, like myself, still have a shot at winning a seat. I would have preferred it though, that whilst this promo is occurring, I could have continued to play as much as i can, instead of my account being frozen, whilst being asked to submit proof of age id YET again. Customer service didn't answer phone for 18 minutes, emails not answered, live chat doesn't even work. If I win a buy in for vegas, please cancel it as although i am 50, I'm clearly biologically 9.
Just prove your age, it's not sky being awkward, it's got something to do with gaming laws. Sky would lose their gaming privileges if they just accepted without proof .

I should maybe have typed YET again in triple bold extra large font lol. Last year I proved my identity, my age, my waist size and favourite sandwich when I joined the site lol. Like I said, I ain't fussed, i'm not a pro player like some here, it was just ridiculous to my mind, being apparently and randomly having my account frozen to prove this stuff yet again. No skin off my nose, I'll go back to another site for a while.

You'd have thought if your age documentation had been checked once , that should suffice ? Never heard of anyone actually getting younger .

Pity...stick with it, this is a lovely site where the majority of people are great fun to play with! the table banter is fun and on the whole good natured, the forums are mostly informative when not hijacked for short periods and the live SPT's are the best and worth trying to qualify for.
i agree prof, i really like this site. i'll never be a make or lose much money kinda player and the dym formats here are great for me. i'll be back for sure when sky verify my details again.
sorry if i've come across as a miserable old sod to anyone, i'm not like that and as usual intended lighthearted humour sometimes gets lost over the old tinternet. gl tight lines everyone etc etc

Not at all @Maaaaaaark , compared to @HAYSIE you seem a perfectly cheerful soul.
Hope you get the verification sorted out soon, I know it can be a nightmare, & that applies to both parties.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I may not know the answer, but I know a man - or woman - who will.
Diversity rules, OK?
Reminder - Las Vegas Leagues start just after midnight tonight.
And don't forget to Opt-In.
Some players will waste days going for this only to realise they have forgotten to Opt-In. (NAP).
How very odd.
All I can do is pass that up to the Suits on your behalf.
If I hear back from them, I'll let you know.

Im already opted in, but this is the screen you get, Im in Eastbourne.
