So I just found out that the Enter key rebuys if the option pops up!

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how this rebuy goes, I just found out the hard way whilst typing "Nh" after losing a hand and upon hitting enter to send my message was immediately rebought. Oops!

    Don't bubble.

    That would really rub it in.

    That bug has been there for ages.

    If you don't play a hand, and call CC, you would be likely to be refunded.

    Sky is normally better than this. But the software is, frankly, not fit for purpose.

    I once did this in a £110 rebuy,

    I had won the ticket in the Sunday freeroll, like you I pressed enter and it zapped £110 from my account.

    I was white with fright and in panic mode. I didn't play another hand, got in touch with CC via chat and they reimbursed me when the tournie-quest ended.

    Ah I didn't think to do this and just summed it up to bad luck on my part and I'm sweating to try get something from this now. Sort of in a similar situation to you as It took me a while to decide whether to play this Gold Rush or not due to it being above my comfy buy in level so to snap rebuy was extra crushing!

    Anyways it happens, gotta chin up and play well and try get something from this!

    Not a bad run out but still down too much to be comfy with due to the Enter press! Managed to snag two bounties in the main and two in the mini so at least there's that.

    Best of luck to everyone still in!

    I ended up accidentally doing it when I bust the Sunday main last year - went to type good luck in the chat box, pressed enter, and it rebought me in. Takes some doing to win a seat in the freeroll and turn it into a £100 deficit...

    Like others have said, if it happens in future, just sit out and call customer care and you'll likely be refunded. I wasn't aware that you could do this at the time, so persuaded myself to carry on to ensure the £100 rebuy didn't go to waste (being dealt pocket jacks on the first hand back in didn't help...)

    Yeah others said this but I didn't think they'd be okay with me doing this so dismissed it without a second though. The goal was to make at least £66 back but alas! Would definitely do it if this situation happened again although I feel like this is something scarred into me now haha.
