Edit: Good luck to everyone who wants to do it. The test is a bitch, but just read the articles carefully - all the answears are there. I passed it while watching GSL.
You dont have to deposit any of your money. All you have to do to qualify for the raffle: create an account at one of the available poker sites and then you will recieve real money from pokerstrategy on that account.

Giving your own personal info in the web is a pretty much fail thing to do, I always thought. 하하.
Well the idea behind this raffle is obviously to get people interested in poker, but its not like they are going to sue you, if you just sign up to qualify for the raffle 
About personal information: It has been a while since i signed up, but if i remember correctly they will ask for stuff like adress and day of birth and they might even request some kind of ID scan. One reason for this is the fact that they dont allow us citizens and underaged people, the other is that they give every new account 50$ for basically passing a quiz and you can imagine that this gets abused alot if there is no ID check...
If you want to make sure to not get bothered with newsletters/spam just create an extra free email account somewhere to register.

Hell yeah i'm going to sign up for this !
|
...Damn. I hate living in the US sometimes.
|
Signed up. Free $50 to play some cards and a chance to win a trip to Korea - awesome thanks TL 
|
Awww, people living in Puerto Rico can't get the free $50 deposit because of a US law:
"The President of the United States has signed legislation that now causes PartyGaming to have to cease taking wagers from US customers. We will also suspend accepting deposits from US customers while we reevaluate our business model for the US and assess potential offerings to US customers that would be within the new law."

Hmm, thank you very much for the reply. I have only few more questions.
1. What the heck is ID scan?
2. Can everybody see your personal information, or only pokerstrategy admins (if so, then how much info is still being publicly shown?)?

The fact is that if this is how you want to do it there's nothing we or they can do about it. However we strongly want to discourage this and ask you not to. Pokerstrategy as a sponsor shows a great interest in SC2 and helping this scene grow, and this raffle and their investment depend largely on whether people show a genuine interest in poker and the Pokerstrategy system.
Just think about it like this: If 100 out of 100 people did what you're suggesting; would there be a TSL?

I just want to give props to TL and pokerstrategy for a great and fun way to moneytize and fund the TSL. I hope more companies take note of this type of approach instead of just relying on playing the same commercials over and over again between matches.

Almighty Nazgul quoting my post. Just wow! ^_^.
Well, I agree, I think it is retarded to do so. That's the reason why I asked.

I don't know what is going on, but it is not letting me even register an account. I am in canada, so I don't see the problem

I enter my username, email and pw, and check the box to agree with the terms of conditions, and when I click on the register button it does nothing.
I am fully in canada, southern ontario just a hour or two away from toronto, so Idk why...
Edit: at the bottom of the page it says "Please be aware that due to the current legal situation in the USA, we do not accept players currently residing in the USA. This means that we unfortunately cannot allow you to have an account at PokerStrategy.com and ask you to refrain from using our bonus codes." Could it possibly think that I am currently in the USA?

1. Seems like i messed that up, sorry im not a native speaker. They might ask you to send them a photograph or scan of your identity card via email to confirm the personal information you provided is correct.
2. Only the username you use to register is publicly shown.
Also i wanted to add that i didnt meant to encourage anybody to just sign up for the raffle. You will probably have to read some articles to pass the quiz anyway, so you might as well try out the stuff you learned by playing
I think pokerstrategy is the best way to get started playing poker, because you get some bucks to play with, without risking to lose any of your own money, and there are alot of good articles and instructional videos to learn how to play poker.
