WCOAP Satellites Discussion
« on: March 01, 2013, 12:37:02 PM »
 Seriously?? After the way that WH misappropriated the funds last time they ran APAT satellites we have gone with them again? What guarantees do we have that this will not happen again?

Leigh has explained why not on face book..

Bad timing for me as I have just been through all my old accounts, Genting, WH, Blackbelt etc withdrawing what small funds I had on them to clear up desktop!!

Will obv have to re install and deposit again another time as i hear that WH are wanting to be involved with APAT in season 7

Good luck to all those taking on the satts.

With the sats on Whill, and the promotion of £10 on offer to existing clients, would a transfer from sports to poker on Whill count as a "re-load"?

As I wouldn"t re-load when ive a sum in sports to transfer?

As I"m a new user. £10 free towards satties sounds pretty decent. Although I"m not sure what happened the last time WH were involved...hopefully not too bad.

And can someone explain here :) I just wonder what is the use of having an APAT Poker Room if you don"t hold your own sats for the most prestigious APAT live event?

We have our own Online Cardroom, if it generated enough for us to run APAT with all the costs associated with it and the added value we put into events, we would run everything on there. If it doesn"t, we will look to partner where necessary to ensure our players and members get the best poker tour we can give them.

I"m another thats very disappointed that William Hill has been selected to host the satellites for the WCOAP.
I was one of the players that never got re-impursed by William Hill having won a satellite on their site, though to be fair I was given the seat by Des and APAT.
I sent their customer relations team numerous e-mails about the problem and was constantly rebuked and they even threatened to ban my e-mails and I can only describe their actions as downright rude.
I have also removed all funds from my William Hill account and removed their site from my computer and I will NOT be re-installing the software and therefore will not be playing any satellites for the WCOAP.

Thx Leigh, sounds very logical... I"m sure you guys had a good reason for choosing WH again; as long as that deal is the best for us the players :)

Facebook announcement reads

"The only way to guarantee a seat for the upcoming WCOAP is via tonight"s satellite on William Hill. It"s a £16+£1.50 freezeout starting at 7pm with 1 hour late reg, the password is apatmemb."

Have I misunderstood? I understood that requesting a seat on the relevant thread in this forum guaranteed a seat provided it was before capacity was reached. Can someone clarify please?

Thanks

Gary,
If you have already requested a seat and you are in the amount of seats allowed you will be ok, these sats are extra if you win one it will pay for the seat , if you are on the reserve list and win you are guaranteed a seat, check the seat list !! I"m sure Leigh will clarify this !!

Easy really....the forum was "allocated" a certain amount of seats to the WCOAP events...that amount did not equal the total capacity.

That allocation has now been filled and those who have reserved via this method are guaranteed.

As always a few seats are held back for sponsors / satellites...etc.

Thus the only way to GUARANTEE a seat NOW is as stated on FB.
