Wasn't sure whether to or not, not so sure on the rules here on the Poker section of boards.ie, but I will post more details shortly

Below is an advert of the tournament.

It can only be seen via our skin of Virgin Poker (from www.1808poker.net or www.1808poker.co.uk ...which will tell you all the details)



Kind Regards,

I was thinking more along the lines of giving us information about the starting stacks, blind increases, blind time levels and so on instead of a big spammy advert that adds zero information to your first post.

What's Virgin Poker? Is it a skin of a particular site/network?

Sparky1808

1,500 Starting Stacks. (Starting at 10/20)

15 minute levels.

Rebuys for the first hour (first 4 levels) and then the option to add-on.

Registration is open already and the field is restricted to 750 Players

The screenshot looks like SportingOdds poker, I forget what the name of that network is.

Sparky1808

Yeah Virgin is on the same network as SportingOdds i'm sure.

All I know is the tournament is exclusive to the 1808 - Virgin Poker Skin and can only be accessed by downloading from one of the links - either www.1808poker.net or www.1808poker.co.uk ...and if you are an existing customer, simply uninstall Virgin Poker, go to one of the mentioned sites and sign up for the WSOP Challenge, download it again and it will then appear in the MTT Menu.

I downloaded it via the link you gave but there's no sign of the tourney anywhere in the MTT section. Is it full already?

Sparky1808

no no no... Registration only opened yesterday

If you have downloaded it via www.1808poker.net or www.1808poker.co.uk

Open up the client, log-in, go to the lobby, go to "Multi Tourney", then click "Special" and you'll see the "1808 Gang WSOP Rebuy" listed.

cardshark202

I did all that but its not there.

Sparky1808

Hmmm ...there should not have been a problem.

These steps are guaranteed to work.

1) Uninstall Virgin Poker...
2) Go to www.1808poker.net - click sign up for the 1808 WSOP Challenge now ...then click "Download client" ...run the client and install it.
3) Open up the client, log-in, go to "Multi Tourney" and scroll to the bottom, where it will be listed as "1808 Gang WSOP Rebuy" or click Special and it will be listed as well.
4) ...and that's you

cardshark202

Oh man I did all that and set up an account. To be honest I can't be arsed wasting any more time on it thanks anyway.

Sparky1808

...err if you follow those 4 steps exactly as I stated, there shouldn't have been a problem.

Has anybody seen the tournament listed successfully?

Sparky1808

Anybody?

Thought this tournament would have tickled most of your fancies
