26th May 2011- $300 THP Exclusive Freeroll at Bwin

[Golden Holden]

Hello THPers,

I have good news. Adam and I have been in talks with various poker rooms who badly want your business. Since this site gets decent traffic (thanks to you! and thank you!), they are willing to put up some freerolls to get you playing on their platforms.

We are in the process of organizing recurring freerolls on a regular (weekly) basis at various poker rooms, as well as designing a leaderboard system. Some of you may remember the old school THP freeroll leagues.

Our first freeroll will be on 26th May 2011 at 22:00 GMT.

Unfortunately, there are some catches. These poker rooms will all be non-US player poker rooms. (Thanks DOJ). So to my fellow Yankees, I say this... Lets get it legalized already.

But to all you free people of the world who actually can play online poker, here's how to sign up:

1. Register with Bwin. Please use this link. It marks you as a THP player.
2. Tell your friends. Please. This is the first freeroll we've had in a long time. If we can deliver a large number of players, these freerolls could be something you can play over and over, week after week. And besides, what good are leaderboards if you can't beat your friends.
3. To register for the tournament, search under the "regular" and "special" tabs for "THP Freeroll". The password to register is "thp300". Feel free to share this password with your friends, but please direct them either to this forum thread, or to our freeroll page (under development, will share details when its live).

Again, in case you missed it:

Bwin Registration

Feel free to ask questions or give me recommendations on league play. Good luck, I wish I could play it with you!

[Golden Holden]

Also, I have word that the tournaments are in bwin's system and will appear 7 days before the tournament date.

[Golden Holden]

Registration is now open.

[HalfSugar]

I have advertised this in a couple of places.

[Golden Holden]

sounds like the word got out. expect a big tourney.

[Golden Holden]

OK, when I said I think the word got out, I really meant it. The freeroll has already maxed out at 4000 registrations. A little research (one single google search) reveals what happened.

The password for this freeroll has been posted on countless freeroll password sites. We're going to need a new option for future events, me thinks. No one wants to play against 4000 people for $300.

Oh wait, 4000 people do.

Seriously though, future freerolls will probably be restricted exclusively to players who register through a THP link or advertisement. Most non-forum pages have a menu of poker rooms on the right. Those are your ticket for future events.

We may have more password events in the future because its nice to include people who are regulars here but who didn't necessarily sign up with a poker room through an advertisement on this site.

[HalfSugar]

I just logged in and though I'd be proactive and register a day early. WRONG!

Unsure the feesability of this, but if the idea is to get people using THP forum - couldn't we start only giving it to members who register before a certain date or who have made x amount of posts etc?

[Golden Holden]

Jimmer, that is a good idea but it could be hard to implement. People have seperate usernames from their forum handles. I'll keep it in mind anyways.

[Golden Holden]

Good luck in the freeroll tonight, everyone!

[Golden Holden]

So apparently the freeroll froze up. It has been rescheduled for June 2. Stay tuned.

[HalfSugar]

That's not exactly an amazing advert for bwin poker!

[Golden Holden]

Indeed.



Registration was reset as well, I believe.
