Just 12 Skrillees Remained in Last Longer Competition at the Start of Day 4
On Day 1a, 62 players signed up for the Skrill Last Longer competition, and on Day 1b 98 more joined them. That brought the total number of participants up to 160 players, but only 12 of them started Day 4 (see full list below).
The Skrill Last Longer competition is being held at each stop on this season’s EPT, of which they’re an official sponsor. The promotion is simple – players sign up for the promotion either online (preregistration is available) or at the Skrill booth (which will be present at each stop); don a Skrill patch; and then aim to be the last man or woman standing. The last player remaining will then receive their buy-in back via their Skrill account.
While Skrill is upping the ante for Season 10 with a bigger branding initiative, this isn’t their first appearance on the EPT; as a matter of fact, they were a sponsor of Season 8 and have held previous “Last Longer” promotions.
The company’s website provides a bit more information on Skrill, which rebranded from Moneybookers back in 2010:
