How about running a few different freerolls tourni's

rather than £250 or £500 prize funds, how about giving entry into some of the bigger tourni's as prizes

not sure how everyone feels on that, what you reckon????????????

    I'd be up for that as bankroll does not allow me to blow it on 1 tourney. Sounds like a plan ;)

    anything i can do with my poker points would be a well liked alteration. i would rather have 45 seats to the open rather than a £500 prize fund paying down to 200 for 26p

    Or they could run sats that allow you to spend your points to gain entry into the big ones??

    Or run some freerolls where the prizes are sky merchandise (poker chips etc)

    Or the winner gets to go the studio and play live games while the presenters do their thing

    If there are a few backers im sure they might agree

    Tikay - Sky rich, what u reckon?????????

    hey,

    this is an interesting thought. you may have noticed that we have actually already had a freeroll where the top placed were awarded free entry into a 'bigger' tournament.

    we are always trying to keep things fresh, new and exciting so look out for more of these in the future.

    as always, any news will be announced in the forum.

    Hi Rich

    Are there plans for another?

    On a slightly different topic the "NUTS FREEROLL". I know its still 12 days away but is there any info on how to qualify? 

    Cheers

    Great idea, i've cashed in five freeroll's in the last two week's, won about £6 in total, which is ok and good fun. But a bit of variety would be better, maybe big tournament entry or merchandise like suggested above. Playing in a freeroll for two hour's the winning 16p can be good fun, but a bit disheartening .

    yes i agree what a thought out plan what a good idea so why not use ur points so example  instead of 100 pts for a 500 quid freeroll u have an option to use for example 350 - 400 pts for a major tourney but still give people the option to still play the 100 quid freerolls if they like so theres something foreveryones taste

    hey guys,

    in answer to a few of the questions on this thread...

    the freeroll took place a month or so ago and was an addition to the feeback freeroll. 43 runners participated with the top 4 winning free entry into a flagship tournament.

    the nuts freeroll is invite only. so unfortunately if you haven't had the invite you will be unable to play.

    i hope this info helps,

    Rich

    Rich, where do the people who are doing the inviting get names from? Is this Nuts magazine, Nuts Poker League, Do we have to apply to someone to get on the invite list? Surley whoever is organising this freeroll they are ding it for some form of customer? If this is an incentive of some kind then i can't understand why the terms are secret?

    Hi NICON, normally these type of freerolls are for new customers, you become a "new customer" through which ever company is mentioned and as part of the incentive you get entry into a "new customer" freeroll, if i'm wrong im sure rich will correct me, if not hope this helps!

    Nicon is absolutely right.
    If the freeroll is supposed to be an incentive to subscribe to a magazine (or whatever) then it is counter-productive to keep the terms of qualification secret. The issue here is that no-one knows what they need to do to qualify which must be contrary to the promoter's wishes.
    This is entirely different to divulging a password.
