APAT / Blue Sq account question

[Gorvacofin]

Hi,

I"m playing in the WCOAP main event. I understand I have to have a Blue Sq Account before we arrive, so I"ve just downloaded the software. Do we have to actually have to deposit money on the site, and how do we prove to the organisers that we have an account?

Cheers.

Not sure that is a pre requisite - but just register on the site anyway.

And a good introduction is the League game tonight only $10+1 if you want to sample the standard expertise skill looseness of the players

I note in the briefing that the Omaha & HORSE payouts will be through BSq. Will they be verifying accounts on the spot or opening accounts for those that do not have them?

I would imagine that the latter is the obvious answer.

Frankly, I think this is a bit off. This has never been the process before and to (AFAIK) sneak this in a this late stage is not playing ball.

What if I don"t WANT a BSq account...are they going to pay me cash in hand..do we all get the option?

(By the way, I do have a BSq Account but it"s the devil"s advocate in me wanting to know for thems that don"t)

can"t say i"m particularly enamoured with the idea either, but presumed i"d just missed it when it had been mentioned earlier. I"m on a pretty strict budget next weekend, and was hoping that if I cashed in the omaha I could splash out a bit!

I"d prefer cash, unused notes and hopefully quite a large amount. Thanks

ps

in a brown paper bag is the norm I believe!

To be paid into a Blue Square Account is so wrong in many ways IMO.

Never happened before, and never should!

Cash paid for an event - winnings should be paid cash on the day.

Claire makes a very valid point for those on strict budgets.

This decision should be reversed, and quickly!

Yeah don"t like this at all.

If I happen to ship anything in my pissed up state over the weekend I fully intend to spend the lot on strippers next door.

How can I do this if it"s stuck in my bluesquare account.

Bad times.

But it wouldnt be stuck in your Blue Sq Account, as it will take 5 days to get there!!

Just imagine playing the DTD £300 , winning the comp for £20k+. You go to collect your prize and the cash desk says "It will be paid into your DTD online poker account in 5 days"

I did not pay cash, I used my debit card, so winnings going into my BSQ account is groovy with me.

Same reasoning though, you paid for an event and the money left your account that moment - so why make you wait 5 days for your winnings irrespective of how it is paid out.

Like I said, it is wrong in so many ways

It may not be the case, but

it looks like a cynical ploy to get new sign ups and to get money into the accounts of people already with accounts.

I also don"t see how it fits in with the principle of "responsible gambling" which I"m sure every poker site and poker room is signed up for.

I don"t actually see a maximum daily deposit limit on Blue Square advertised  - but the top prize is well over the maximum daily deposit limit for most sites I"m on which have set one. Pokerstars, for example, have a $600 daily limit and a $1500 weekly one - the winners of the 2 events will have £1300 and £1000 deposited into their Blue Square accounts in one go - how can this be considered responsible?
