PokerRewards Official Response.
Due to concerns of misrepresentation by a player in their World Series of Poker Satellite Tournament, Poker Rewards would like to submit the following response to any negative picture that has been conveyed as a result of disqualification by the winner of the last tournament held.
The Satellite Tournament in question took place on June 19th, 2005 at which time 139 players all competed for a chance to win a $12,000 package to the World Series of Poker. The buy in to this ‘Ten Seats in Ten Weeks' Tournament was charged at $30 per player and the event was run across all of the Poker Rewards member sites to give all players an opportunity to take part in this years history making main event regardless of bankroll.
As with the pervious tournaments, contact with the winner was established within 2 hours of the tournament being completed in order to organize travel, accommodation and the $10,000 seat to the World Series of Poker.
At this time Poker Rewards conducted a brief security check of the winner to ensure that all terms and conditions have been followed and no foul play has taken place.
Unfortunately it was discovered that the winner of the Tournament on June 19th was in direct breach of the Poker Rewards Terms and Conditions with over 17 valid accounts within the network at Golden Tiger Poker, Poker Rewards and others on the Prima Poker network.
This is in direct conflict with the rules and terms and conditions as laid out below:
“You are only allowed one real active account. If you have more than one account or the name on the account doesn"t match the name on the credit card used to make deposits to the account then all winnings will be void.”
Prima Poker, Poker Rewards and all partner poker rooms take player security and integrity very seriously, and in an event like this we can not have either live ring games or tournaments compromised by fraudulent activities.
Because of the multiple accounts, and the ‘illegal' actions taken by the winner of the event he has forfeited any and all claim to his seat at the main event. While Poker Rewards would never look to take a seat from a legitimate winner, in this case we stand by our terms of service.
As a follow up all players that took part in the tournament on June 19th, have had their full buy in refunded back to their poker accounts. This includes house fee.
Poker Rewards has looked at the possibility of re-hosting this tournament but with the close proximity of the World Series of Poker main event, the logistics of this would be impossible.
This is a very unfortunate event, but the decision has been made and we stand by our policies and terms and conditions of use as clearly outlined on the Poker Rewards website.

TYPICAL
As always with Prima Poker, they are trying to do anything they can to void winnings. They are the biggest sleazebags this world have ever seen. I talked to the Hendon boys over here in Vegas and they said that theyre not involved with Prima, just sponsored by them. Its sad that there are rotten apples in the basket, but time and time again Prima outdoes itself and proves to the world they are rotten to the core.
DO NOT PLAY ON PRIMA
