Empire Tournament Masters

I'm only 19 but emailed Empire about tournament masters because I am 46th for April and got the following response:

"Thank you for contacting customer support.

As per Our Terms and Conditions, we do not allow players under 21 Years to participate in the WSOP event.

However, we see that you really enjoy our game a lot and you can surely take part in the Freeroll .We can make an exception here, that is if you win we can compensate you to max $5000.

If you have any more concerns or suggestions please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

so....if I win the freeroll they give me a $5,000 prize but if anyone else wins they give out a $10,000 prize. I understand that I don't have a right to bitch since its free, but this still seems stupid to me

Anyway, who else made it?

i think you're lucky that empire is willing to give you $5000

btw, empire poker's support is SO much better than Party's, especially since they started the vip@empirepoker.com email support... i don't have nearly as many problems with stupid responses as i did over at Party.

*sigh* looks like I'm going to miss the cutoff this month since I was gone more than half of it. Last I checked I was about 100 or so but next month you could pretty much guarantee me in the top 50. Is it just a winner take all type of thing or do 2-??? get something too?

Yeah, after making it in my first month on Empire I've missed it for the second time in a row.

Guess I should just quit my job so I make sure to get enough STTs in, hunh?

If you quit your job and could handle living off your rakeback then sure quit tomorrow. I hear Top Ramen is real yummy. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

its a cool promotion, but nothing too special. It basically has a net value of $100 ($10,000/100) or $50 in my case. Free is always good, but $50-$100 isn't that much money if you're playing enough to make it in the top 50

raptor517 · #10 05-01-2005, 02:34 AM

it has a net worth of around 1k for me, since ill win it 1 in 5 times. so its still not really worth it. but still kinda fun to do. holla
