1. BONUSES : all bonuses have been paid, I believe around 30 players received €50 added to their accounts at launch, that was players who set-up cash accounts, not players who merely sign-up. The bonus did not run indefinitely, it is expensive for a new site.
2. 7 x Qualifiers for Prague received pre-booked 5 night stays in a 5 star hotel including breakfast and €200 added to their online accounts. The €2k qualifiers initially ran with 10 and 11 players causing a loss of several thousand euros but considerable added value for the players who took part. There is no question of holding back funds or monies due. There is an admin process, sometimes it takes time, especially as the cost of the first 7 qualifiers was €7.5k. As it happens between the network and WSOB we had not actually decided how to reimburse players that €200 element until it was on an agenda and discussed.
3. Whilst we guaranteed €24k in hotel rooms for Prague to secure a top venue, we also subsidized hotel rooms in Prague offering, as part of ongoing partnerships, one night cash back to Danish and UK players who booked at least 3 nights.
4. about the 16. As we have pointed out ad nauseum on our website and in newsletters, three super satellite sunday winners received 10k seats; 9 will be won online; 4 from the tour (the Race, not the event winners like last year - always clear from the outset). We had originally considered running the shootout as a 32 player i.e. €320,000 indeed we had hoped there would be sufficient interest to justify adding another 40k but some partners reneged on in principle agreed deals and we were forced to lower the added, but before the start of the tour.
