If you win a seat to a tournament either thru a satelite or a freeroll if you cancelled your registration to that tournament would you be credited with the cost of the buy in. Won a seat to the £5000 guaranteed roller on thursday thru the league stars freeroll along with 19 others, just checked the tournament lobby and 2 players have withdrawn from the tournament, just curious whether they forfeited there seat or recieved the £110 buy in

    The only way you would have been able to do this is to buy-in direct before winning the seat.

    Some people do buy-in direct to an event and then try to satellite, deliberately with the intention of say getting into the £110 Roller for £20 and then deregistering and getting the £110 back for £90 profit.

    If you hadn't bought in direct before winning the seat though, and you de-register you will just lose your seat and get nothing. I just about missed a seat on the night (came 25th) and I did mention I might buy-in direct just before winning the seat just incase I couldn't play the game on Thursday so I didn't lose my prize.

    Cancelling Satellite-won Tournament entries

    Please note that if you've won entry to a tournament via a satellite and then cancel the registration, you won't receive any money back for the cancellation as your entry was of no monetary value. If you are unable to make the tournament then please contact Customer Care and we may be able to make alternative arrangements.
