I just plain forget to click it when i have over ten tables going... it is a great system if you are not busy with other games
Yeah, not a whole lot of time if you are doing something else or step away for a minute. I suppose it's not as simple as issuing a coupon like the Carbon Freerolls. Maybe if there were about a 10 minute late registration.
lets see how it works.. first time to try it today
Will your 40 points get refunded if you miss the tourney?
i don't think i have ever had a problem with lag before the tourney but i start it up like thirty mins before lol
The lags can be brutal, but if u email the poker sites and they can prove u lagged they may reimburse you.
That's happened to me trying to put pass word in at Bovada. It said "reg. closed" 3 minutes before time was up. My clock had same time as bovada's time too. go figure
waiting on my 180 still..missed 2 yesterday...tis brutal
yeah, i just don't seem to get exactly what the hell is goin on here. ahhhhhhhh
I did everything in time, but the tournament was not listed It was with Bovada. right now. So what now do I lose the points I payed? I wasnt late. It was not there.
Welp first time trying to enroll into a tournament and I wasn't fast enough by 2 seconds. Guess my points are gone to.
had no problems
cant register. 3 minutes is not enough time. always miss it by couple second. this suck
if anyone misses it due to lag, i suggest a new computer.
1) in the main Bovada Poker Lobby click on 'Scheduled Tournaments' towards the top and left
2) on the top right it will say 'Show Registering Only', make sure this is NOT checked
3) on the tournament listing headers .... click on 'Buy In' until the arrow/triangle is pointing up. this will arrange the tourney listings so the freerolls are stacked towards the top
4) look in the tournaments for '$20 PokerOwned Free Roll', there may be more than one so select the one with today's date and bring the tournament lobby up on your screen
5) have the tournament lobby up on your screen while you are waiting for the password to be released. If for any reason your PC is late on showing the PW due to lag, you will see in the Bovada Tourney Lobby on the right side, lists of players numbers showing up as people are registering. If you see this, then you know the PW was released. take action, refresh the password page, and enter the password, you will have 2 or 3 minutes so that is plenty of time.
i havn't tried bovada but for all other tourneys u just gotta have it all ready. the countdown screen and the tour ney screen. dont forget to refresh the page to get clock in sink
man I am upset I waited and by the time it showed up it was too late WTF do i get my points back man what a crappy system
Followed all instructions and didn't get it, never registered me after I entered the password...bummer
I don't understand this system at all. What the hell happened on Pokerstars just now? I'm happy for the opportunity, but I lost point to join the freeroll and enterted the password IN TIME and it said registration was closed and tourney canceled. And it wasn't even 5PM yet. Can anybody explain that?
Stupid system pokerstars. Show password 30sec earlier!
there was plenty of time its just bollox how they dont just re do a tourney there needs to be better communication
Seems like no one's gonna comment on it :( I definitely support the idea of giving hard time to ones who want to leak passwords, but giving members only few secs to register makes it impossible for many people. Plus as I said I tried to register before 5PM and it said registration was closed, so I have no idea what\'s the problem. Was it due to lag or what....
u guys always have to remind to REFRESH the password release page.... thats substantially important to avoid the lag
Ok. Thanks azreal1. I was worried it was something I did or that system didn't work. Ouch. Hope there'll be no problem tomorrow.
I did refresh the page Swittie.As I said I had password before 5PM ;)
Cheers
that was a very frustrating experience. I synched once and then waited till password was released and then entered the pwd within five seconds and was told i was too late!!
Thanks for this! Successfull first bovada free roll attempt. Good luck, see yall on the tables :)
Great system. Enjoying it.
Thanks and thumbs up!
this system has worked fine, dont see how people could have problems with it unless their internet is really slow
I had a problem yesterday with the password for BCP. I didn't get it in time and lost my points too. Points can be a pain to get sometimes when you have to take screenshots and contact support for the offers. Why the password anyhow? Can't a player be registered by Pokerowned?
Mine was about a 3 minute difference, so no problems.
this is bs I downloaded all these stupid things on my computer for some points and now I won't have enough time to enter the game.
Thank you so much for the article!
