Oh sorry, no. I had to sign up to EntroPay which was actually very easy and instant. I believe they charge a 4% fee though. Considering it was the only way I could find to deposit 4% was a steal.
Signed up for EntroPay and then tried to deposit to it using TD Visa but EntroPay wants me to verify the credit deposit which involves them taking $1.00 off the CC then you give them the verification code after it shows up on your CC statement, 2-3 days it say. Did you have to go through that?

Nope. I did it online and it just gave me a webpage with a virtual card on it.
Out early. 86 is actually one of the biggest I've played. The first one last Wednesday might have hit 55 (finished 8th) Yesterday they were getting mid 70 runners and I finished one in 7th. The one I binked today had 120+...not sure where they all came from. The $50 buy-in satellites award 10 seats and usually have less than 60 players. Them's good odds.
So if you win a 2nd seat, you can take cash or do you need to sell it there?
I had huge problems to deposit earlier, had to make a new account and E-mail to close the previous acc. I used CIBC which is poker friendly with no fees.
Shipped 2 seats and won the 3 euro 100gtd turbo. Also won 4 buyins at plo 0.5/1 super soft, ppl call with 1 card flushes and insane stuff like its 2001. Its been a good day.
As for the 2 seats, i'll have to call playground to see what would they do. I've heard from another guy that you can use your other 1,1k as T$ to use for other playground side events. That is very weird.

From what I read, you can start multiple day 1's. If you survive both you bag your biggest stack only for day 2. Only makes much sense when seats are won for $20.

I think it is a waste to play 2 flights when u already qualify on the first fight. I'd rather sell it or use it for other tournys.
On a side note, the last satty is going to be on the 20th
But if you get knocked out of first day 1 you have another chance.
Strange, I thought there were satellites listed for next weekend as well previously.
Cut and pasted from Playground site....
A Player may play additional Day 1s even if he/she has survived a previous Day with chips. Players may not re-enter during any Day 1 starting flight they have already played, they may only re-enter the tournament on a subsequent Day 1. Players who qualify for Day 2 more than once will restart play on Day 2 with their largest qualifying stack; all other qualifying stacks will be forfeited.
EDIT: Only 4 days of live satellites at Playground. 3 seats guaranteed Sun Jan 31, Min 40 seats over 4 satty's Thursday Feb 4th,10 seats each on Fri 5th and Sat 6th of Feb.
Most of these are $110+10 re-entry turbos. 1 seat per $1100 obv.
Satellited my way into the Hey Ballers $5K guaranteed on Jan 31st as a warmup to doing the same into the Playground main event.. Just wanted to see how the site played.. You guys better worry, comp is on the come back trail..:)
Then I realized.... I already had a free buyin to that tournament from being a first time depositor... Geesh.. No issue though, they just deposited the winnings in cash into my account automatically...
I did some calculations/prep on the structure of the main event.
starting stack is 30k, play of day 1 is 13-45min-levels. Start time is at 11:00am will end at 9:15pm including breaks.
Day 2 will start at level 14 for 9-60min levels. Ends at level 23.
Say 500 players are going to reg, there is (edit 15m)chips in play. At level 18 (blinds 4k/8k) 30bb average chip stack will be at 240kea.
That means there is only 62 players to meet a 30bb average stack. Isn't that too little for a 4 day event?
This would also mean that the bubble will bust late day 2 (most likely).
On a side note: Comp, day 1 and 2 ends before your bed time

You forgot a zero, its 15 million chips in play with 500 runners

I hate being forced to come back for a Day 2 and not making the money yet. $1K & lower buy-in tournaments such as WPT 500 and WSOP Colossus give you a little money for making the end of Day 1. The nut low would be to bust in late Day 2 at Playground and and miss the start of Event #10, ending up with nothing.

They are getting a bit busier, but I can't imagine how much money they are losing on this.
Thanks, that solved it, you would think an I/T guy would think of that, kinda like reboot.. lol..
All part of their marketing dollars. They just started to offer online poker and need to drive traffic to their site.

No biggie. Next satellite isn't until Wednesday.
Looked at the Safecard option but did you buy one in C$ then? If I look at the deposit options on TonyBet it looks like only US$?
I used Euros and did a conversion. I put on $100 Cdn and deposited $62 Eurors.

So CIBC Visa has a CC which allows deposits to gambling sites? Maybe I'll check that out tomorrow.
NVM. figured it out..
