say i the paddy power okere they have 2$ giveaways for free and other things where its free to enter and u can win real money onto ur account so what im wondering is are there others like this???

califano · 05-09-2005 9:52pm

my swahili isnt what it once was but i think the answer is 'yeah'.

kazper · 05-09-2005 9:56pm

vcpoker.ie is pretty much the same setup

sugardaddy · 05-09-2005 10:00pm

i had problems with downloading vc.there was nothing to click on to download it .i clicked on download and then it give me instructions to click on a link to download but the link isnt there?????

Scotty # · 05-09-2005 10:13pm

lol - My swahili ain't up to scratch either. Sugar, to enter the free rolls you first have to accumulate enough "bonus" points and to do this you have to play in "real money" games or in real money touraments first. In other words its still going to cost you money, you can't just download the software and get straight in to a game for free and expect to win real money.

On the other point Paddy Power Poker and Victor Chandler Poker are exactly the same site with the same players. Their both run by Tribeca poker which is a company which runs poker sites for many "bookies" in Europe.

My swahili is perfect and I'm still not sure about the original post.

Didn't VC used to run giveaways? Like an MTT with 100 runners and a prize pool of $1?

Back in the good old days of the free STTs with the 10c prizepools, both long gone I think, even the $5 Giveaways cost 5action points

PPP-Pit Boss · 06-09-2005 10:08am

Ahem... $20 Brekkie roll.. $20 Fastfood freeroll Monday - Friday DAILY. $100 Tuesday giveaway.. $50 Mid-day mayahm Saturday. $50 Midday mayhem Sunday.. These are $0 buyin + 0 points.. they do not cost AP or Cash and are ONLY on PPP.

sugardaddy · 06-09-2005 12:26pm

I am sure I speak entirely for myself when I say. "Paddy Power Poker is the best damn poker site online."

wow - can you please take a course in 'the art of writing in the english language'?

seriously, it is painful to have to read such poor english, put a bit of effort into writing properly out of consideration for the fact that other people will be reading your message

i've never known such fear as right now. an invitation to join the collective must surely be on its way.

mmmmmm- How long is the Buddie list down now?? and how many times a week is the cashier not working right?? Don't get me wrong I like PPP and about 85% of my online play is there, but the BEST site?? I've accumulated about 60,000 paddy points in the 10 weeks or so I'm playing there and I can't get as much as a pencil from one of there shops for them ( I rarely play the free-rolls - too wild). If they can't get the "front of house" running right ie. a simple thing like the buddies list, then what about the back of house? Just how secure is my credit card information?
A scrap between a couple of hundred people in the middle of the day for €8-€9 first prize hardly makes it the best poker site on the net even if it doesn't cost me a single one of my almost useless Paddy Points.

Bottom line is they need to sort out the technical issues, have a look at the blinds structure in the bigger Mtt's, and just make the site more attractive to players. Apart from all that I love it.

Doc Farrell · 07-09-2005 10:59pm

ohoh.

actually the blind time limits in the MTTs are too short. anything less than 12-15 mins is not worth the buyins especially for rebuys.

but the customer service is excellent. i didnt know they had a shop, gonna go look for it.

Lafortezza · 08-09-2005 1:37am

And is PPP ever going to accept lodgements and cash outs from Neteller?

bohsman · 08-09-2005 5:04am

And are Tribeca ever going to sort out their table balancing, with 15 left in the 4k Guaranteed we were playing 9 and 6 for a good 15 minutes when it became 8 and 6, just not good enough tbh

Lafortezza · 08-09-2005 5:10am

And does PPP still do those pizzas, I'll have one with extra pepperoni to Donegal plz. ty

Imposter · 08-09-2005 7:07am

and eh fish. More fish please.

Yeah that shít is truly banannas. Inexcusable really, it's not like it hasn't been flagged enough.

Marq · 08-09-2005 10:13am

I won't be using PPP until they support NETeller.

PPP-Pit Boss · 08-09-2005 10:56am

Buddy list is not broken.. buddy list is being enhanced / developed it has been pretty much the same for the past couple of years and it is simply high time we made it better.
Cashier on PPP? Cashier has not been down for over three weeks at which point it was taken down purposely for routine maintenance at 7am our off peak time. The network wide problems that we experienced a short while back were abominable and I do apologise (again) about this.
Your Paddy Points can be used to enter freerolls of which we have over 30 per day. We are also currenly investigating other avenues for near future develpement.
Your credit card information is encrypted and completely safe. Paddy Power have over 50,000 active customers at any one time with real accounts.
MTT developement is definitely a concern, Feedback from customers should dictate much of schedule and structure. We are in discussion for a review you are not being ignored. This includes balancing etc.
The jury is out on Neteller simply because we do not accept US customers. We would have no way to control this if we introduced it. However I cannot say definitely NO or YES as the issue is still in discussion due to demand for it.

Oh they are there all right. Courtesy of Golden Palace Poker (GPP) who is also a member of the Tribecca network ;o)

ah yeah never thought about that. so the ppp poker operations executive role is further down the line for me then!. when you hear me complaining about table balancing and all that crap you'll know im ready

OilBeefHooked2 · 08-09-2005 12:38pm

No Americans!

How is this dependant on netteller, surely if they want to join ppp all they need to open an account is a credit card!

Also why do ppp not want american customers?

With regard to the "freerolls" has noboby heard of the prima poker network especially bet Bet365, they have genuine freerolls every day and a $ 5k freeroll once a week on saturday!

is it just me, or does this make no sense whatsoever? VC Poker is another tribeca site that claims not to allow american players, and yet they allow you to make your transactions through neteller.

DapperGent · 08-09-2005 1:05pm

VC Poker have no intention of trying to look respectable. I don't think they're a publicly listed company either (could be wrong) which apparently brings it's own concerns as far as codes of conduct on fraud prevention etc. At least so I'm told.

Is there schedule of the freerolls up anywhere? Also when is the 5k freeroll scheduled for? It seems to be totally hit or miss I never know when it's on.

Any thought to using Points for STTs or something a bit more flexible? I have 250,000 and can't spend the fúckers.

We even have a little countdown timer that counts in BST! so you dont need to calculate your summer saving hours.

22:30 $5,000 Freeroll, No Limit Holdem - 26,100 Action Points - Monday
That would be 23:30BST

We do have plans for other stuff. In fact |am personally looking at this project. Please bear with me as that is just one of the dozen or so ongoing projects and its a biggie!

I look forward to seeing what happens.

Culchie · 08-09-2005 1:58pm

It would have to begin with an 'L'.

These storms are always named alphabetically (not a lot of people know that

), so with Katrina happening last week, it will have to begin with a 'L'

PPP-Pit Boss · 08-09-2005 2:07pm

Tis every Monday Dapper. Lest just skip two and call it hurricane Nikki

califano · 08-09-2005 2:27pm

i was thinking of 'Elanor' as in 'Gone in 60 seconds'!

Ste05 · 08-09-2005 2:35pm

I got that one rounders

Lads you are very fortunate to have a direct line to PPP here so can we refrain from slightly dodgy remarks. I'm sure pitboss has a sense of humour so I'll be the humourless one and ask ye to stick to the point.
