  The free ball was for entering, not playing. Verification is to receive Elite prizes, and doesn't affect playing for credits. And what state are you in? - that should help clear it up.

  I don't think what State you live in has anything to do with it. I live in State that can not be verified. I played the tourney and received my credits.

  I play ready gos and get my credits without any problems. Before all this stupid shite i could not even enter a ready go. Would say i'm not qualified due to State laws.

  Since they removed gift cards long ago i can play now. Now since gift cards returned i still can play?

  I don't think WGT knows what they are doing. Don't really matter though. Way to many ways to get around that problem. :))

  Yup i own property in Texas. Sooo... takes care of that issue. Nope will not be getting my Texas address verified. 

  Not to mention who would spend 165,000 credits to get a $250 Amazon gift card? WTF LOL You seen the prices on that site? I could go to my local pro shop and buy equipment for damn near half the price. Think seen a R1 driver on that site for $365.00. Yeah that is cheap. LMAO!

  They must be sleeping with Amazon. Total ripoff. Just like everything else in the elite section.

  Yup on sale at Edwin Watts right now........  LOL  So you would spend $1,650 in credits to get that $250 card? Not to mention the prices again on that site. That $250 card is not going to get you much. Can't spend it on nothing but that site. Something would have to be wrong with you.  OOO i forgot you also have to pay taxes on that $250 card. :))))  Way to many ways to cash in credits than getting ripped off. Reason players are not honest. Really who can blame them? This site controls the dishonesty. The more this site is dishonest the more the players will be. I would say would be very hard to setup a site more crooked than this one. I bet those mothers even walk crooked. Probably even looking out their ear hole.  ;)

  Yup $6000 to play Kiawah. I paid less than $400 to play and stay at a fancy hotel.

  My apologies to all, WGT, Dick's and a big thank you your way Jim for calming down a grumpy old man who feels he wasn't rewarded properly. (cheat was a little too harsh a word implying finality, and I agree 100% there's a better way to handle it)  Your recommendation about how to handle this is indeed a far a better way to resolve this instead of running my mouth in anger.

   

  BOL, shoot low, and keep the faith---Peace

  Who? - anyone with millions of credits and nothing to do with them. You don't have to buy golf equipment at Amazon, you can buy anything. And it is very competitively priced for many things.

  Yes i know you can buy anything. Maybe where you live prices are high. Where i live the prices on Amazon are way to high.

  Anyone with millions of useless credits can easily cash them out on the black market. Happening as we speak. Shame but that is just how it is.

  Yup it is what it is. And.... if WGT did the right thing would not have that going on. Yup but back to is what it is.

  Some players are just blind to the fact. Really its a pretty good gig.

  Edit: I was just looking at a camera i was looking at buying on Amazon. I can go to my local Best Buy and get it for $100 cheaper.  Not cheap or even close to the prices where i live. $100 bucks higher is not close in my book.

  Maybe i just live where all the poor people live. LOL

  Yes, UK prices are high. Amazon is often close to best here.

  I'd rather gift people stuff or try and teach them to be better players than attempt to flog them credits against WGT's T&Cs. Just doesn't feel right to me that anyone should be paying to play here. But I suppose somebody has to!

  I buy batteries for laptops, pc parts, sporting goods, and various household stuff on amazon all the time way cheaper than anywhere else, no taxes and sometimes free shipping too...now I do see things that are outrageous too, comes down to what you need I guess...

  Yeah Mags you are probably right. Where i live in the US it is a pretty poor area.

  Prices on Amazon are really quite high.

  Yes mate plenty players here pay to play this game. The reason the black market does so well. They can get credits for half the price. So really i guess they are doing okay on that end. At least they are not paying full price. WGT must hate that. Shame they can't do nothing to stop it. ;)

  The more expensive this site becomes the more the black market will make. Goes hand and hand. No different then the MPC scam these players are running now. Got to pay for them expensive balls.
