Any idea when we can trade points for this?

[Julie]

Hi Senatorwu,

The registration for the Celebrity Shootout is now open through the web. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Julie :)

Ok say you win first prize and the WSoP package.
Ok say you are 18 years old, and it's 21 to play in WSoP.

What will you do with your prize? What can you do?
Is it possible to sell you ticket to the turnament and keep the rest??

[senatorwu1]

Julie I know it has been open for a few days but how do I exchange my points. Will it give me that option if I click register or will it just take money?

Hi Krycke,

You are correct in that you have to be 21 to play in the WSOP and we could not send an 18 year old to that tournament. At this time, there is not an option to sell the ticket or give it to someone else.

Sorry senatorwu, I misunderstood your question. We should have the poker points exchange for the Celebrity Shootout up by the end of the week. I'll try to post something in the forum to let you know when it is up and running.

Julie :)

[Krycke77]

It was a great tournament. Congratulations to Hollywood Poker for having great promotions. It was nice to have a reward for all the time I put into playing here. It was a surprise to see 600+ people show up for the tournament!

I just wish I had the 1st spot instead of 31st. Grrrr. I'm sure I'll have more chances down the road, but I would have loved to head out to Vegas!

See you at the tables.
