Hello guys,

Just wanna share this with you and want to know what you think about it.

Last year I won a WSOP package through Mansion Poker. At the moment I had some circumstances why I couldn't go away from home 2 weeks. I reported this to Mansion and pokernews.com and told them that one of my best friends could go instead of me. They had to think about it but a employee of Mansion told me that it was gonna be okay...

After a week I still hadn't heard a thing from both Mansion or pokernews.com so I started to email them. They suddenly told me that the package was given to the runner up!!! No message to me, no excuse, nothing!!!

I was really sick of it but I couldn't do much about it I thought. Untill I spoke to a counsel a few weeks ago and he told me that Mansion/pokernews.com this never should have done.

When I registrered to the tournaments there was no information about the terms and conditions! They should have made a link or something with some information. My counsel is sure that you just can't give away a prize that someone has won and he wants to go to court with this because he is 100% sure of winning.

So what should I do? Throw this in public (post it on 2+2 etc.) and go to court with it? is this the only way to get my prize back?

Cheers

If you couldn't personally attend the WSOP, you shouldn't have played in the tournament.
