G'day mates
Oh my God!
I was really looking forward to this freeroll event and really made an effort all through December to open all the calender doors to qualify. Now I find out that in order to play I got to open up an account on a NEW poker site. What The F@$# it does not even look like a good site to play on if I can trust what i'm reading on two other poker forums. My immediate impulse is to say NO give me 400 Mob points, but I have decided to take a couple days to think it over first.
Admin Sir, I really HATE this move , and the position I now find myself in. I am so very disappointed. I Thank You for everything you do for us mobster members in general but this time I feel like you might have dropped the ball. You must of have your reasons but somethings are more important then money.
I really got to think this one over and investigate the site. Did you know that it appears we cannot withdraw any winnings until when make a deposit and then make a bunch of points through their so called VIP gold coin system?
Ok i gotta go think about this now and calm down as I am very upset.
Good luck to whomever plays the tournament. I am off for now.

at first i thought it would be held at PartyPoker, so i was sure i was going to play. But then i saw Ballpoker. No account for me there 400 points is about 4$, a decent prize i think.

Posted by rbdflyboy: Just read the fine print on the freerolls. One must earn 2 gold chips before or after cashing in a freeroll before one can cashout freeroll winnings. That's 100 fpp per gold chip. The rake rate is 1fpp/$ at cash tables and 7fpp/$ in tournment fees. Now the big question here is: Do these rules apply to the BRM freerolls as well?
Confirmed: These rules does NOT apply!

Posted by Weenie: Can someone answer please, how long levels will be in this freerol and how big starting stack is? I will decide on this factors. I definitively will not play turbo freerol I am bad in it 10-15 levels would be nice, Thanks...
The €1000 freeroll will definitely not be turbo - I specifically asked for that.

Hey Ronin....kinda felt the same way after checking out the site. Now that Admin has answered my question, gonna play it. My biggest concern was the cashout requirements and that problem appears solved. Can't see a reason not to play it myself..not trying to convince you here...just check out my post and see if that addresses some of your concerns.

Hi,Iam sick of new sites and pokers,we have Pokerstars,party poker and fulltilt is back,I was sure that we will play on Full Tilt,I was happy to play that freeroll but when i see where will be freeroll I use points and all will be spend for Mob Draw,maybe I won on draw. All that is ok but are we really must play at site I hear about 1st time today when I open BRM
I have to say BRM really dropped the ball on this one.
It's really annoying have to register with a unknown site, load their software and then remove it after the game and hope that it doesn't screw up my computer when it's removed. I suppose we are supposed to be grateful that they didn't pick a site that uses only some obscure language like Afrikaaners or Nepalese.

just pick your 400 points and stop crying like a baby
and suggest everybody else to do the same.....the lesser we will play the freeroll the higher will be the EV for the players

i suppose you should be grateful that BRM do these great offers at all. If you don't like it DON'T PLAY. Simple!
