I have an account, but I don't think I am going to play in this one. I deleted pokertime alongtime ago. I never did really like the site. If you do cash then you have to deposit in order to get your $$. I prefer the sites that I play at regularly.

LOL....Hey you, no need to put/between/every/word/. Or-dashes-either/!
Learn to use the space bar!

LOL...I'm not sure which is worse. But thanks for the explanation.

I can't remember if Pokertime is US friendly...I too removed it a long time ago, but maybe it's time to dredge it back up...

Edit: If you're spacebar doesn't work, why is there a space between the h and o of how? Hmmmm??

Nothing gets by Wonder Woman! lol

P.S. It took a day to receive my emailed confirmation.

From the OFC site:

"This is event is open to everyone, except for players in the following US States - Illinois • Indiana • Louisiana • Michigan • New Jersey • New York • Nevada • Oregon • South Dakota • Utah • Wisconsin • Washington."

yeah it is US friendly!!!!!!

i think ill register and sign up!!

Besides the OFC Events which looks to be a good deal

PokerTime has 3 $7K Freerolls a month which pays over $1K to 1st

I'm registered ..I hope we get a larger cardschat contingent at this one than we did at the reefer poker ofc .

I was pretty discouraged to see so many other forums represented by a large contingent & we had so few

hope to see many of you there
KICKINACES13 @ pokertime

You have 1 more registered + I get to bump this thread for more people to see so they join!

Downloaded the software and installed, but they have their own acct. number stuff and I forgot the acct. number immediately.....
Waiting for a response from support and then I would love to participate.

I've already pre reg'd, I can feel a PA Challenge comming on

Well, I registered for it last night so add one more to the CC contingent.

Sat down at a cheap Sng with the promo ten bucks they give at partytime when I signed up through here and won it fairly easy. Made a little at the rings games too.

signed up, registered feeling froggy bout this

No. They give you $10 free, enough so that you can sign up for both of the OFC games.

At least, in theory they do. I`m having a little trouble and am waiting for support to reply to my email.

alright im officialy registered, had to switch everything over from RoyalVegas since there the same network, but im ready, they also have &K$ freerolls every day with a 7 in it.....7th, 17th, and the 27th

how do you go about getting the free 10$????

were would you go the site??

nvm i signed up for Pokertime today but what if i signed up through another one of there sites???(royal vegas) am i excluded?

• Prior to withdrawing any amount of this bonus, the player must earn 50 Poker Points on the Exclusive PokerTime tables (these tables are indicated in green)

• Standard PokerTime Terms and Conditions apply
• This offer is only applicable to new players who register an account on or after the 27th of March 2008

It seems you are allowed only one account on the whole network.

That is my difficulty. I have an account at Bet365, which used to be part of their network and has since moved across to Ipoker.

Micrograming`s systems apparently still list me as an account holder even though I no longer am.

Be interesting to see how long their support take to reply to an email. I`ll keep you posted.

ok thanks i will also contact support if you are succesfull but i might as well wait untill you update us...

Update: They replied to my email in 4 hours. I`ve known worse.

They say they are working on it.

Support is obv provided by the network, not by Pokertime as such.

ok thanks well keep us updated also for the end result...

OK, they fixed it pretty swiftly.

Their system won`t let me have my free $10, because it still reckons I have an old account, but at least I can play now.

Odd how restrictive their system is about multiple accounts. Other networks allow an account at each site, but this one can apparently only tolerate one per person on the whole network.

thanks so im out of the free deal to ...thanks for knocking out two birds with one stone it helped me not have to deal with support..

bump......for reminder that reg. starts in about 40 mins. and the tourney is in a day.....at exactly 15:00pm.....gl to all and hopefully we can win our forum and members money, not to exclude ourselves

The truth is....You can have an account on every single site that Microgaming Offers including going after the bonus programs on each site. You must use the same account information on each site.

The reason you may be having trouble with the $10 Free...is because PokerTime was rolled out as an alternative to Royal Vegas Poker (no longer takes US players) and anyone that had a US Account at Royal Vegas was rolled over to PokerTime (both are owned by Fortune Lounge Group--which also owns 7 Sultans and 9 Online Casinos).

Im pretty sure, unless they have a specific restriction that I have not seen, that you can belong to another Microgaming skin and still get the $10 Free on PokerTime

Bump
Reg is now open C'mon all you FRW's reg now for CC team.
512/3000 already reg'd

Also,

PokerTime (Microgaming) has always had some ugly, somewhat "Klunky" software. They are upgrading it a bit with a new "look" and adding some much needed improvements including the long overdue "hand history" feature on the table.

In the past it was a complete hassle to look at your hands, if you could even figure it out....

To go along with $10 Free and $7K Freerolls every 10 days, some more people may want to take a peek.

Here are the exact changes (besides the design change):

-Resizable tables with mini-view
-Avatars
-Improved visuals and sounds
-Hand replay feature
-Choose where you want to sit at the table
-Customize the color of the table and floor

I Registered and made CardsChat my Forum for this one.....

Maybe I can follow up my Final Table in the 45K 10r on PS tonight with a big finish in the Freeroll at PokerTime.......

Are you sure ? Their support guy never explained any of that.

Also, I never had a Microgaming account anywhere other than Bet365.

The 10$ freebie doesn`t bother me, though. I deposited and doubled my money quite quickly. The games seem pretty soft there.

Bump
3 1/2 hours to go y'all so register to represent CC.

Positive.......You can join every single Microgaming Skin (you just have to use exact same info and screen name on each one)

They busted my AA early..and left me with 20 chips

I have since come back to 810...Would be a great story if a made a Cash/FT/Win comeback
