running freerolls and buy-ins at poker sites
hi
thanks for the feedback
as members - you dont have to worry or deal with the backroom issues and requirements of working with all the different poker rooms
as I've mentioned in other posts - poker sites dont like running freerolls for forums past a certain point - they expect all forum / sites to generate results for them which make providing / setting up / admin of freerolls worthwhile for them
new sites get a chance to build using freeroll but after a while they mostly insist on a combination of freerolls and buy-in
while I appreciate the freerolls are great for members who are already signed up at xyz poker room - we cannot just run freerolls for existing signups at sites - we have to generate new players for the poker rooms we work with
otherwise they will NOT agree to organise them - even when they're ones we are fully funding
therefore the player numbers in our buy-in tournaments are very important to the ongoing freeroll schedule
I will be setting up freerolls and buy-ins at pokerstars
and I also take on board that for US players it is a pain to find they cant play in some of the games
equally though I have European members who want to play at Euro focussed sites at better times for them
I would like to expand the number and the prize money in our tournaments - but again this comes down to the numbers we get in buy-in games - this keeps the sites happy and enables us to request more games
In the new year I will be focussing more on FullTilt, Poker.com & PokerStars as these are US friendly
cheers scrawnybob
