LOL...... I have completed every one of the challenges set yet in this promo. I am about $5 up on the challenges and have won only once in the all ins, winning a nice little $2. I intend to persevere and continue playing every one. It's also a nice way of casually accruing stars points.

You are registered automatically. If you want to be sure just go to the "find a player" option and write your stars nicknake there. If you find it that means you are registered for the tournament. Found my name there after completing 10 days

Sorry I do not agree, I have won alot this time around and how is it a scam when the min requirement is to play 2 real money sit n goes? Cost you 4c max with the 990 man 2c tournaments. I like playing 1 dollar sit n go ones to get my challenge complete or play 30 hands of zoom and you can fold every one, cost you less than 50c to complete!
oh well to each their own, I love them as its free money basically!

Yeah dont really understand ppl saying its a waste of time. If your gonna play poker anyways u moght as well have a free chance to win some money. Even if u only win 1$ over 30days its a dollar more then u started with.

On Saturday I have fulfilled my daily challenge, but forgot to register for the all-in-shootout (I was one minute too late). Thats why, I have played two all-in-shootouts yesterday, but unfortunately I could not win anything in both of them.

I've played all the ones this time,...and about 25 or 30 from previous challenges last summer and fall... To be safe, let's say I've entered in about 40 All In Shootouts...
...in those 40, I have cashed 2 times. One the other day for $1,....and one last summer for about $8 or $9...! Pretty tough to cash in these it seems...!
I'm way up on all the money I invested to enter these, plus the money I won in them,...so it's been good to me I guess,...but it just goes to show how hard it is to cash in them! ...but to have 40+ chances at winning some serious cash for very little or no risk....? ....is very well worth it I figure...!

I absolutely agree with you my friend. It is definitely worth playing these shootouts. Most of the time there are under 32.000 participants. That means, that you need to win 3 coinflips in a row to get the minimum cash of one dollar (for the top 4.000).
I am 0 for 13 played in all of them but up 5 in the cash game challenge but agree with the above posts very easy too complete 3 cash game tables takes no time at all or zoom even faster what i don't understand is why you can't complete all 3 challenges and play in all 3 shout outs

Yeeeeeeaaah! I won another dollar! I am so not going to get rich playing this promo but it's relatively free money dos to make the FREEROLL the challenge isn't that tricky and doesn't cost anything as long as you win overall on the challenge. Keep the faith

Got another dollar today. Think this is third or fourth since start of January. Not bad considering it cost me around 0.50$. If i dont win the rest of the month ill still be up atleast double my money spent so not to shabby so far.
Well if you register in 2c tournaments and then play them like you don't care, you're gonna lose 4 cents and your time everytime... But it's probably the least variance way to do it though since maximum you can lose is 4cents. I like 30 hands of zoom cause you really only need 1 winning hand to make a profit instead of "losing" (not sure if losing cents really is considered losing lol). 30 hands is usually enough to get a good hand unless you're really running bad.

... < FInally...!!! Ka-CHING....!!!
It was somewhat a wee thrill to watch my guy donk his way into the cash with junk, to win a whopping $1... So I'm up about $5 on the thing so far, with many more chances of winning HUGE cash in more to come...
...but I guess that's what them Shootouts is all about...!!!
wish me luck 
found mine 
5 in the cash game challenge but agree with the above posts very easy too complete 3 cash game tables takes no time at all or zoom even faster what
