Priority UKPC Freeroll Terms & Conditions
1. The freeroll will take place on Thursday 4th February 2016 at 19:30, with one hour of late registration.
2. To gain access to these freerolls, players must have earned 10,000 poker points in January.
3. The freeroll will have a £2,000 prizepool, plus four seats to the £1,000,000 Sky Poker UK Poker Championships worth £1,100 each.
4. There will be no cash or alternative prize for any player that cannot attend or has already won a UKPC seat. The prize, should this instance occur, will be awarded to the next eligible player.
I am very upset if this is true not to get cash eqq for seat feel im being punished for playing sats from start also there are other players in this that already have seat. surely this can not be right this was the only reason I tried hard to hit prio. I no the people who don't have seats will be happy but imo this is a joke.

Yo Dog Bloke,
I've passed that upstairs for comment.
Bear with them please, it may be tomorrow before they respond, as they are all a bit busy today.
Whoa there, slow down guys.
They don't set out to diddle anyone when they set these things up, but sometimes different things clash, & it happens. It's not intentional. If you have been reading the Forum this week, you'll know how difficult it is becoming to give away stuff without offending at least someone.
They set out to be as fair as they can to everyone, consistent with giving players here really good value, & at the same time, growing the site.
They never deliberately pull the wool over player's eyes, why would they?
More follows.......
So, back to Mr Dog Bloke's original question.
That T & C has now been AMENDED to read as follows; (my enboldenment, to highlight the amendment).
"4. There will be no cash or alternative prize for any player that cannot attend or has already won a UKPC seat via another Priority promotion. The prize, should this instance occur, will be awarded to the next eligible player. Players will receive a £1,100 cash alternative, should they win a UKPC after qualifying through a satellite."
So, if you won a seat via Satellite, & you win another in the Prio Freroll on Thursday, you'll get the cash alternative.
However, if you won a UKPC seat via a Prio Promo already, you can't win another, & you won't get the cash alternative.
Butch: So we cool?
Marsellus: Yeah, we cool.
Afternoon.
Apologies for the confusion, mixed messages, crossed wires, & any other suitable analogies of similar ilk.
The matter has now been resolved, as below.
More follows......
As there was a discrepancy between the Promo Blurb, & the T & C's, the £2,000 Prize Pool has now been added, & is shown accordingly in the Tourney Lobby.
The Promo Page has been edited to reflect this amendment, too.
So, to clarify, the prizes & money are........
4 x £1,100 Sky Poker UKPC seats.
£2,000 cash prize pool.
The £2,000 cash prize pool will be paid out based on the standard payout structure in use at Sky Poker, with 1st place getting most, in addition to the UKPC seat. In answer to a suggestion elsewhere, payouts will NOT start at 5th place, it'll be paid out just like any other MTT.
Any other questions, fire away.
Hope everyone is now comfortable with this.
Butch: So we cool?
Can you stop addressing me as "Sir", though? Old people are addressed as "Sir", I'm a Bro, a dude, pretty fly for a white guy sort.
Groggy sums it up - you are automatically defaulted into Day 1c - the Saturday. That's designed to make it better for the Sky Poker recreationals, it saves them having to take a day off work, unless, of course, they make the Final on the Monday.
If you prefer to play on 1a (Thursday) or 1b (Friday), fine, no problem at all, just let me know in advance & I'll sort it.
Alternatively, turn up early on your preferred day, & come see Tighty or myself, & we'll sort it then.
In truth, the more players who move to the Thursday or the Friday the better as far as I am concerned, as Saturday will be heaving, & the place will be rammed.
Also note - & perhaps you are ahead of me here - that if you bust on Thursday &/or Friday, you can re-enter the following day. However, Day1c has no re-entry option.
Anyway, let me know if I can help further, & come see me when you are at DTD & tell me how you earn all those points. Over 101,000 in a single month? You gotta be kidding me.
To be honest, I can genuinely see your point there.
It was originally set up in the way you describe, but as you can see from this thread, RSPCA (who seemed a tad angry), Lambo, Groggy & Al all suggested it was grossly unfair. So Sky Poker took a look at it & made the decision to amend the T & C's to accommodate their wishes.
It's not easy for Sky Poker at the moment, they are being incredibly generous with all these Promos, Freerolls & Prizes (imo), but are still getting flak from a handful of players. Maybe I should leave you to debate it with them.
Anyway, hope you get a seat sorted, be good to see you there. It starts 3 weeks today, ooohhhhh.
Anyone know who got the 4 UKPC seats?
It does not seem to be on SS, so I have no way of finding out.
Ahh, thanks hhamza, & many congrats to.....

That's a cracking result for those 4, & not a bad bonus for Sky Poker Priority players - that Freeroll was worth £6,400.
Quick aside here, but an acquaintance of mine was asking me about Priority last week, & wanted to know the "rakeback %" to use his words.
I tried at length to explain that here at Sky Poker, it does not work that way, never has & never will, but that there are other collateral benefits he should consider. It can't all be explained in a single % figure, & it's not all tangible.
He was having none of it though, he thinks he is better off getting x% at I-Poker. Good luck with that mate.
