    The T & C's state this:

    "6. No cash alternative is available for any part of the Viva Las Vegas packages, nor is any part of the packages transferable. As a condition of receiving their prize, winners must use the prize monies awarded for the purposes of arranging travel to Las Vegas and participating in all designated activities and events, and not sell or transfer their Viva Las Vegas package to any third party. Winners are responsible for the payment of any applicable tax, if any, due on winning the Prize, and/or any prize money won by participating in the Event."

    Nothing, but do you really want £1k for a £4k package? We of course hope every package winner comes with us to LV.

    This is exactly what I meant regarding your appearance of answering questions on behalf of Sky.
    Surely you can see that a player posting a question such as this would require an answer from Sky rather than another player.
    Despite playing all those games your answer was incorrect.

    Not sure what that has to do with anything, but according to Sams post, still the wrong answer.

    matts answer is correct as is sams 

    anybody who wins a package would get 1k cash to book flights etc if you keep that and dont go vegas you lose 3k worth of benefits which is not transferable.

    vegaswas added to the prizepool in the freeroll.

    forum is getting far to many people digging people out, even tho posters are only trying to help.

    I quoted the terms and conditions. There are a lot of them on the site, like the countries you can play skypoker from. If players want to go against these terms and conditions then its up to sky whether they enforce the terms and conditions. Hope you enjoyed your Vegas package last year with sky.

    The semi might well have some leftover cash for X place so you can always aim for that.

    The longer answer is,
    I cant believe that you would find it necessary to point out that Matt had merely copied and pasted number 6 of the terms and conditions to anyone on this planet. Especially when Tikay who works for Sky had done the same thing earlier on the thread, when answering a different question.
    The rest of my comment refers to a debate I was having with Matt on a different thread.

    They cant both be correct as Matts answer says no you cant keep the 1k and Sams answer says you can.

    winners must use the prize monies awarded for the purposes of arranging travel to Las Vegas

    I play the freeroll for the money and have no intention of attempting to go to Vegas so if I win a seat what should I do?

    My point exactly.
    If you are seen to be answering questions with some authority due to the number of games you have played, and Sky are prepared to waive any terms and conditions from time to time, then if your answer is merely quoting the terms and coditions, then each time Sky are prepared to waive the terms and conditions, your answer will be misleading. As in this case.
    In this case Sky pays each qualifier 1k direct to their bank account to cover travel costs. I suppose it would be difficult for Sky to recover this money if the player didnt wish to go to Vegas. So this condition would be difficult if not impossible to enforce.
    Tikay had already copied and pasted the same condition earlier in this thread in answer to a different question.
    I have enjoyed both my trips to Vegas with Sky, thankyou.

    Think you have miss placed your trolling tallent. Used to be quite funny, but when see same thing for a few years..... New material needed.

    You do like a keyboard argument... but never really contribute any real points of helpfulness

    Poor OP, last time they will ask a sensible question here
