The tournament is being set-up and advertised with the blessing of the Marketing Department. I have been assured that this tournament is legit.

I have been in direct contact with the representative from 4Kings.com, as well as ACTIVEalli from the Marketing team. This is a legitimate tournament with some great prizes being offered to members of the EVE community who wish to participate and are of legal age.
4Kings are a part of the B2B poker network. (24hpoker AB sweden)
24hpoker network
4Kings are hosted at B2B poker.
4Kings is providing all the logistics and prizes. Let's try to be nice to them from here on out.

CET spells Central European time.
For those of you who doesn't know, CET is GMT+2 during the summer, so 2 hours ahead of EVT* (EVE Time).

*EVT is the same as GMT btw.

Ok, I think everyone has to calm down here a bit. There are some facts you should recognize before critizing this:
1. Entry is free!
2. You play with chips, not money, no money is involved. That means you play for free!
3. If you win, you win stuff, good stuff, free stuff! You don't win money!
4. Since I can't say this enough, you don't have to pay anything to play at all!
5. You don't have to pay any shipping, handling, customs fees or any form of taxes related to the prize, it is all covered by 4kings.
The only difference between this and playing poker in school for matches is that you actually get something if you win. However, you don't lose anything.
This is a TEEN rated forum, but we did announce the Fan Fest on it, and that is also something which is restricted to 18 y olds and above.
As for morals of playing poker, you are free to start your own thread on it in the Out Of Pod Experience forum, but it is off topic for this thread.

Yup, I'm getting the same thing, so I'm downloading now. Think Star told me he'll get his techies to look into it tomorrow.

No, that rule only exists on these forums, you agree to it by logging in and confirm it every time you post.

I must admit I had my concerns when this first showed up here. But I did check up on this company and had a chat with Think Star about it. I've also watched some of the games myself, and checked out the site. 
From what I can see, this is an appreciated event, the participants are having fun and some wants this type of thing to happen again. Of course, that would be up to 4kings and CCP.

No one is saying you can't post about gambling, or why CCP allows this event. All I'm saying is that it is off topic for this thread. If you feel so strongly about it, go create your own thread and discuss it there, provided it follows the rules we're certainly not going to stop you.
However, since that type of discussion is off topic for this thread it will be deleted. Discussing moderator actions is not allowed and will be deleted. I'll allow the posts up until now, but future posts of this nature will be removed and you may be warned. Posts discussing this post will be considered discussing moderation and that will be removed as well.
