Can you deregister from a MTT you've qualified for?

Enut

Hi Guys

A quick question, I qualified for a MTT through a satelite and then had to go out so deregistered from the tourney before it started. I assumed I would be refunded the buy in from the tournament but this does not seem to have happened. My account summary shows no 'win' from the satelite and no 'buy in' or 'win' from the main tournament (both show as 0). Any ideas?  It was only a £2.40 satelite to a £10 deep stack so I'm not overly concerned and I suppose it will teach me to enter a satelite by mistake!

Try contacting customer care and explain the situation. There's a link to live chat somewhere which is usually pretty good.

Lil tip:

Always pre reg for the tournament you want to sat into.

You will be awarded the cash for taking down the sat, and you can later de register from the mtt if you need to and get your buyin back.

Good tip there from teddy bloat

i tried de-reging from the £750 BH a short while ago as i thought it started earlier than 12.30am , but as i satelited in it didn,t refund me the buy in so i got onto live chat and they put me back in it

Just an update, Sky will put me into a tourney of the same value as a 'goodwill gesture'. Apparently you cannot deregister from a tourney you have qualified for and get the money back. It's not allowed. So be warned.

Thanks TeddyBloat for the tip. Worth considering when there is a good bit of overlay in some of these sats.

personally i think thats so wrong......youve won your seat fair and square. If you then decide to cash in an not play the tournament, you should be allowed.
