This is a complete misnoma. I just called the WSOP Registration Hotline to check on my entry - it's been two weeks since I faxed over my form and wired the money and I've not heard a peep. Not asking for much, just an email to say "thanks, we got your money" would do.
I really don't think there's any reason to be suspicious of Harrah's, and I can understand that they're going to be a little busy processing mountains of registrations so it could take a while. I just want to know that my money got to the right place, and they know what it's for.
Given that when I was calling Citibank to set up the wire, they read aloud to confirm the spelling of "N-E-V-A-R-D-A", even with the written confirmation they've sent to me, there's still just a niggling fear that it hasn't gone right.
The most interesting mistake I've seen Citibank make is when I applied for casino credit at the Stratosphere - they faxed through an account summary stating my average balance as $487,317. Very specific and very, very wrong I'm sorry to say. Sadly this didn't impress the casnio enough to make them throw any free stuff at us.
So the WSOP Hotline: 1-877-FOR-WSOP. After over four minutes of recorded blurb telling me just how great this year's event is going to be I press the button for "if you have any questions". Alas, there's no human on this number though. I'm given the option to leave a recorded message, and someone will get back to me within 72 hours.
Not very hot at all really.
