Not unlike others in the past, this promo was worded/eplained poorly... as I've come across others who also misterpretted it (including myself).
By playin 'x' number of days with a minimum of 'x' number of pts./day, one can qualify for different
freerolls. Many assumed that if you played more, you would gain entry into the next freeroll up the ladder as well.. AND if you played even MORE, you would also get bonus ca$h, beginning with $7 & all the way up to $4,000 .
When I logged in this past Sunday Jan.3rd, expecting to see tickets/entries to the GLadiator freerolls (after playing more than 25 days last month & raking ~$90) instead I find ZERO tickets. At first I'm sure it's a mistake... but LiveChat
tells me that I opted to win $7 lousy sh1tty fk'n measely dollars (less than the amount won & lost in
hands taking 15seconds... but I played for over 50hrs.!).. instead of a $3,500 freeroll entry valued at over $120.
He explained to me that I 'preferred' the $7 in cash over the $120 in tournament entry (& get this) 'because you could've won nothing if you played the Freeroll' (LOL.. yah okay.. I'm going to pass up $120 value & instead take a gtd. $7.. GIVE ME A BREAK!). But he insisted this was a popular & good choice & had more value than taking the ticket (what are the requirements to work there? ... lying skills 101 ??)
I stupidly waste another 30mins. of my life attempting to explain to a complete monkey, why I would NEVER knowingly take $7 cash over a $120 entry.
I feel like I was mislead in this promotion & deceived into playing ALOT more than I ever would have played. (during Christmas... sigh)
It worked out that IF I had played one day less I would've won a prize with almost 20x the value (TWENTY TIMES!!!!)...
and if I had played HALF as much as I did, I would've still won a prize worth 4.5x as much as the one I received.
I also could've chosen to play ONLY half as many days, with ONLY 1/5th as much play each day)... Basically 2hrs. Total play instead of over 50hrs. of play & would've won a prize worth almost DOUBLE what mine was.
How ridiculous is that????
Who in their 'right' mind would ever think this was even possible?
This month when I go to choose where I will [Opt-in] it for sure will NOT be at PartyPoker.
