Just access this promotions page or go to your account services page and find your rank there.
Your rank is based on your RAI$E Status Points. You earn RAI$E Status Points by playing in any real money raked ring game, SnG tournament, or any multi-table tournament. To learn more about how you earn status points click here: www.ultimatebet.com/play-poker/free-bonus-points
Your rank is based on RAI$E Status Points not UltimatePoints™. RAI$E Status Points are awarded to all players at exactly the same rate. UltimatePoints™ are awarded at different rates depending on a player's level in the loyalty program. Since your rank in the Ultimate Main Event Giveaway promotion is based on RAI$E Status Points, all players have an equal chance at qualifying, whether they are brand new to UltimateBet.com or longtime players. Everyone has the same chance to qualify.
No! UltimateBet.com is paying for the free seats in the 50-seat guarantee. Every buy-in is added to the prize pool so the more players in the tournament, the bigger the prize pool gets and the more seats to the Main Event that will be awarded.
Then there will be more than 50 seats given away. If there are 1223 players or fewer in the event, then 50 seats will be given away. For every 24 players, another seat will be awarded. So, if there are 1248 players there will be 52 seats in the Main Event awarded. If there are 1296 players, there will be 54 seats awarded, and so forth.
5:30pm ET on June 21st, 2008.
