So I know we were trying to figure this out the other day and I wanted to share the answer with y'all. In regards to playing 25 hands for the freeroll tomorrow night, I contacted BOL and asked and two different people (just to make sure they were corroborate the story lol) both said you just have to be dealt 25 hands at any NLHE table, if you fold all 25 or play all 25 it doesn't matter as long as you get dealt 25 different hand. Hope that helps y'all and hopefully I'll see some of y'all at the game tomorrow night, happy holidays!!:icon_sant:icon_sant

I don't mind these "missions" that BOL set up for the 25 days of poker but the main event freeroll for this on the 25th is an all in shootout. What's the point? It's just a lottery people are playing for. Any one like these all in shootouts?

Unfortunately, this tournament will begin when I have 4 o'clock in the morning (or night - how to look). In any case, at this time I prefer to sleep. As however, most of the players from Europe, too. :D

My understanding is that the site WILL NOT return to the free roll schedule prior to Dec 1 after the holidays; it isn't clear if a new schedule will be introduced, or if they're just going to do away with all the free rolls and get more deposits and rake via cash games.

It sucks. I really enjoyed playing regularly.

That sucks to hear. I have been grinding those freerolls trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents. I have almost built up a decent bankroll to play micro stakes. Was hoping to complete that but looks like I just have to move forward. Crossing my fingers they do have some freerolls after this 25 days of xmas promo though.

Good luck to everyone in tonight's Day 6. I played 2 sng's today, and noticed too late that BOL's system only gave me credit for one. When I looked at the contests page, I saw a ticket, and realized too late that it was for last night's. I emailed support but haven't heard anything. Sucks.

I liked the regular freeroll format for BOL, instead they put up this 25 day nonsense, plus they took away the micro SNGs. Too bad, I liked BOL, not anymore...

They emailed me back a response half an hour after the tournament started with a nice apology and a ticket, lol. I didn't even see the email for a few minutes after that, so by the time I got in there I had six bigs, lol. 44<AJo and gg me.

I sent them an email and said while I can't really complain about the freeroll, I couldn't help but feel slighted since they screwed up to begin with, and rectified it too late. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind late regging, but this tourney had starting stacks of 25bb.

We'll see if they throw a bone with tomorrow's ticket, but I'd be shocked if they did.

This is just a xmas promotional giveaway, don't you like free money.

I played 2 HU SnG's about 15 mins before 8pm ET and at 8.05 pm I had my ticket.

Free money? They took away freerolls worth over $1000 and replaced them with one worth half of that, plus you have to spend money to qualify. Are you some kind of BOL sales rep, cause you definitely sound like one...

I complained as the registration was closing and so I didn't get an answer until registration was closed.
So I asked if they could give me a ticket to tomorrow's freeroll, and that is what they did. It all worked out fine. The only thing is that the freeroll is Omaha and I don't know the rules. So I guess I'd better learn real quick and practice on pokerstars with play money tonight.

Congratulation to That Guy on cashing in tonight's freeroll, looks like you were sitting out at the end. Last I saw you were in 28th place.
I came in 17th place, but missed the ticket for the Christmas freeroll.
