Just read the player briefing.
Are there no ranking points for the Omaha and HORSE?


Good spot.  There are half points for both events, so I will update the briefing.


Thanks Des

I thought pot limit games didn"t have antes?


Quite right for this event Rob.  That column has now been removed.

I"m more concerned about the prize"s being paid into your Blue Square account.

How does that make any sense?

Are they not getting enough sign ups through APAT? so now they want to insist people who don"t want to play on there are forced to deposit 100"s and 100"s of pounds?


how do you work that one out Jon? If they pay prizes into your BSQ account, what requirement would there then be on you to deposit 100"s and 100"s of pounds??

Don"t read too much into it.  This is only applicable to the Omaha and Horse events, so it will affect 9 and 5 players respectively.  You are not depositing the money, you are effectively winnning it and would be able to withdraw immediately.

If you win a £1000

and they pay it into your account

you have a £1000 in your bluesquare account

I didn"t mean in addition

Seems a lot of hassle to then take it out - paying a cheque into a bank account is a lot more straightforward

And do processors like Neteller charge you for payments like that?

How is withdrawing from Blue Square more straightforward than going to the bank with a cheque? It goes straight into your bank account no?  Assume it"s the same as a BS betting account.

All money going through this way benefits me and makes it easier, however down time from BlueSQ is a few days so waiting for the money would be a pain (not that i think i will win any ;) )

I don"t know for sure with Blue Square but on another iPoker skin I was only able to withdraw to my debit card up to the amount I"d deposited with it.

I don"t like the principle - but I am asking the question. is it as simple as a bank transfer? could you get charged if you had to go through processors like Neteller etc. ?

I"m sure I signed up for a Blue Sq account ages ago, but haven"t a clue what the login or user ID will be (well I do have a rough idea, but can"t remember for 100%). Not that I"m likely to cash but still. Could make for an interesting payment arrangement om the day....

Perfectly simple I would have thought, after reviewing all the details involved with the play and payment of these events, a person has the right to decide not to play if they do not like any aspect of the event.

My statement was just more succinct.
