APAT / Blue Sq account question

I don"t have a huge problem with winnings being paid into a BlueSQ account (not least because my chances of cashing are almost nil) as a backup method - with cash being preferred - but I haven"t had the impression that it was the backup method, more that it was the preferred method. If cash will be paid to all who want it if possible, then that"s all we can ask IMO.

I for one agree

There is a bit of background to the Blue Square thing, but I can"t go into the details here. It is definitely not a requirement of our agreement with them. The Omaha and Horse events are very small player wise and are largely being played by the die hards, of whom a very high percentage will already have a BSQ account.
I still very much hope that we can pay the players for those two events directly at DTD though. However, if that is not possible, it will have to be by Blue Square account. Obviously you may need to trust that APAT only ever acts in the interests of our members, so there is good reason for the above.

can"t believe i just spent 5 mins of my life reading this thread! APAT does what"s best for it"s membership on every occasion. If there is difficulty paying out in cash, and winnings have to be paid via BSQ account, so be it - I will just accept the fact that there must be a good reason for it.
Now.... just need to make the cash so I have an interest in how this debate concludes.....

Sorry but this just doesn"t make any sense at all to me.
If there"s a problem getting hold of the actual "cash" then how come the ME isn"t being paid via Blue Square?
If it was all 3 tournaments I could probably understand. Why are the omaha and HORSE being singled out?
If we have to be paid out via Blue Square how come we could pay in another way?
Also it"s all well and good people saying that this is just moaning but I know for a fact that these things can become a problem. A friend of mine won a sizeable amount from the Virgin festival and had a nightmare getting his money. The money was in his virgin account but he had all the hassle of sending off documents to prove that the account was his before he could withdraw.
By the time he"d paid net teller charges and lost a bit through the x rate he"d lost a fair bit of his total prize. This is effectively reducing the value of his buy in as he didn"t get a full pay out.
I know that APAT aren"t doing this to be awkward but it is important so needs to be discussed on an open forum particularly by people who are playing in the event.
