This weekend Cake is having 4 different $5K freerolls. The way to qualify is through a gold card R&A MTT. Cake is awarding 20 seats per MTT, and each one has an average field size of 30 players!

So far I have qualified for 3 of the 4 $5K freerolls this weekend and I only have ~$5 invested. The $5K freerolls look like they will have 250-300 players with top 50 being paid (top prize is just over $1K). Unfortunately I have to work Saturday evening so I can't qualify for the 4th freeroll.

Also, if you cash in any $5K freeroll, you win a seat into the $10K freeroll on July 1st.

Anyone with any cash on Cake should check this out and try to qualify. It's not too late, they are running 6 more qualifiers before the first freeroll on Saturday afternoon. Friday's qualifiers are 10x 2gc R&A (2gc's sell for $.04 a piece at the gc exchange, so each unit is only 40cents!)

Hopefully I can post something in the Brag section after this weekend. I am looking for a serious BR boost! :)

These would be great if you could actually ever withdraw money from their site ;)

They are very good at offering free rolls, reload bonuses and added cash etcetc but when it comes to wanting to withdraw from their site, it's the worse I've ever encountered so would struggle to even entertain myself in their free rolls as it wouldn't feel real if I won any money anyway ;p

My experience has been completely different - - it's actually been one of the fastest. Also, on Cake you're able to transfer 'player-to-player' which is obviously a HUGE convenience,.... nevermind helping one to get their funds off the site w/o withdrawl.

This ^ is as a 'non-US' player (obviously).

Wish I had knew about this before. I just qualified from the last satellite. Was pretty easy: 20 tickets and only 50 people registered. Oh well, at least I'm registered for one of them.

I qualified for all four club cards.

I went out early on the first game. Ak vs J 10. I flopped an K and he turned a straight.

I qualified earlier in the week for the $5k when they were giving out like 20 tickets and only 30 players. Am in both the Sunday 5K games. Was able to qualify at a cost of $2 for one of the games, the other I had to spend $6 to get in(buyin, rebuy, and addon). Used the Exchange to purchase cards for entry.
Did not try to win any 5k saturday freeroll entry, family reunion to attend, don't think it would be worth being asitout.

I'm waiting 13 weeks for my withdrawal request. I will side with the "they don't payout" crowd.....

I had no problem withdrawing from Cake either. Was dreading trying to get my $ out after a few bad experiences I read about but I got my $ within 2 days. Used neteller that had the same email address as Cake account.
