    Tell me where I am wrong on this. Maybe I have missed something and have unfairly screamed and attacked people's character in the chat windows.

    1. WSOP is not allowing buy-ins from poker sites. T or F
    2. If 1 is true, poker sites are just putting cash in the player's accounts. T or F
    3. There is no need to sell a WSOP package online to anyone at a reduced rate. T or F
    4. Packages won live are non-transferable. T or F
    5. There is not a legitimate reason someone would be selling a package. T or F

    I could have sworn that I read this. I googled some old articles that were right after the Unlawful Internet Act was passed. Maybe something changed.

    According to the people I spoke to at Harrah's this morning they are saying that no 3rd party registrations are being accepted this year from the online poker sites.

    Don't panic. I was then told that I should contact Gary Thompson at garythompson@harrahs.com to get more complete information. It seems like the sites have most likely found a way to work it out for their sattellite winners.
