What do points make.......

PPP-Pit Boss

Prizes!
Ok so you asked me when we will do Paddy Points for Merchandise etc. So I am going to begin reviewing this project.
What would you like to see on the shooping list?

Imposter

Free money.

Dub13

Realistic targets for a start....

Culchie

Shares in paddypowerplc.

BigDragon

Stuff thats not completely covered in PPP branding. Tasteful. I'm well into my fashion

Dub13

How about a Paddy Power mug with a photo of Tom the "expert"

Waylander

Poker chips, tables, quality cards and other accessories, especially tables like the one Mcaul donated for the winner of the heads up cometition. Also a range of books. Also some non poker related stuff ie music vouchers, clothes vouchers etc etc

Culchie

A poker table ...... a la Special Days 7" folding table
Clay Chip Set
Some Good Poker Books
Large Monitor
Vouchers for the Fitz/Merrion/PPP Irish Open 2006


You need to have a small range of products, not too many, so that you can use your purchasing power on bulk stuff, so that you pass the value to your punters.

The 'redemption' points level of each category of gift needs to be regular as well, to keep people focussed on what they are saving points for. (i.e No point in having something at 4000 pts, and the next one at 85000)

okidoki987

Chips, Cards and books.
The t-shirts, hats etc you can give out as prizes, freebies etc as it's FREE advertising for the company.

Imposter

Anti bad-beat vouchers

califano

Keyrings, T-Shirts(no sexually suggestive rubbish on them), Caps(velcro on back), Glass Tankards, Mugs, Sweatshirts, Sun Glasses, Playing Cards.

Thanks for asking

This I like........

accensi0n

Books. (Once the selection is decided by people on boards)
T-Shirts. (Start your sizes at small)

Dub13

More free Pizza

DapperGent

25% of the money they represent refunded to my account.

No seriously.

DeVore

I like the merchandise suggested above. I dont want money back (honestly) but I'd like to be able to spend the points on stuff I would otherwise buy with money, that way I wont feel bad about how I should really have paid my rent with it etc. I can justify having a poker table in my apartment then you see.

Sunglasses. Decent ones, anything from D&G, Police or Versace would suffice. Or Globogift vouchers that would allow you wander into BT and purchase such items. VC sent my mate a bottle of champagne a while back, good stuff too (Taittinger, Hitlers favourite, apparently), PPP should send us bottles of champagne every now and again.

Vamos

Convert points into free bets in the sports book.

A bit off-topic, but a deposit bonus every month or two like most other sites would be nice aswell.

On a daily basis I should say

Samson

On a not totally unrelated note, could I transfer my VC action points over to Paddy Power Poker, if say, I wanted one of the (hopefully better) PPP prizes?

Dub13

Samson....I would say the answer to that will be "not a hope in hell"...

No one cannot Samson. Our only affiliation is shared software.
Sorry

Lafortezza

I am currently waiting on 3 beach towels and 1 baseball cap bought with Party Poker points. I would like a range of products similar to this because you can never ever have enough beach towels.

ionapaul

I got a Party Poker baseball cap, beanie and extremely flamboyant hawaiian shirt last month. Must've missed the beach towels. Pity, as I'm sure they would have gone well down by the sea at Dalkey...'look mammy, there goes a gambling surfer dude, fresh from Maui's north shore...'

Tell me more...

PPP-Pit Boss

PPP Pro Series with Liam "The Gentleman" Flood.. 23rd June (tomorrow night) at 8pm on PPP. We have been running feeders all week to it. Entry is $100 + $10 so it will be quite a hefty prize pool. And of course you can get an extra $100 if you knock Liam out of the tournament!
Have I tickled your interest nodes?

I'm afraid it's the Fitz end-o-month game tomorrow night.

Culchie

is it?

I thought it was last Thursday of the month ...i.e 30th June?

ionapaul

Big D, I am with Culchie on this one - the last Thursday of this month is *next* week, the 30th. I assume the freeroll is on as usual tomorrow night, might even stop by and try for another ticket.

BigDragon

Yeah. Feck. Too much caffiene. Got my dates wrong. Thought that it was 1st next Thursday.

Thanks lads.

PPP-Pit Boss

Oh and there is one last feeder to it tonight too
