erik, since i'll probably be in the top 100, winning 15 bucks, can i decide to invest them in tsn games buying teams instead of getting them by giving you the name of a friend of mines in the u.s.a.??
I would surely have to buy teams, and it should make the whole thing a lot easily to work for me....thanks.

Same for me, It's probable that I'll be in prize zone with one of my teams (I'm #151), will it be possible to use them for NBA teams next year?

I believe what they are asking for is a credit to their account, as they are not eligable to recieve a cash prize as they live in Italy. Am I correct guys?

Same for me (#144), but I'd prefer an NBA team, I don't play fantasy Baseball.

The answer, unfortunately, so far has been no. Our legal staff believes that giving game credits away could still violate international gambling laws. I have a different opinion, but unfortunately, I have yet to convince them to change our policy.

Sorry guys, I'm trying.

Oh, well, Erik, I don't think it's necessary to tell them...just give us a secret code, we won't say it to anyone.
If not, is it possible to change our address into the one of some friend in the US?

funny!
i should send a fax, fill a form, give u all my personal infos .... for 15 bucks???

little amounts as prizes ain't worth it! it would be much better to give us free utlimate teams as little prizes.

This time u saved my 15 usd, next time i hope u will be wiser!

as a matter of fact i just play for fun, i would not want to pay, i don't care prizes.

completely agree with you, river, but you forgot a winner should also remember the extrabiliant prize when it's time to pay taxes.

guys, it's clear they don't care about finding a way to help us, even if it should take a really little effort, so, find an u.s. friend, let him receive your check, and ask him to pay you a tsn ultimate team for ultimate nba. I did it, and it's the only way to get something.
anyway it's funny how the law allows tsn to receive money from us, but not to give us prizes, or at least an internet coupon to spend on their own site, while i can play casino, sport bets and fantasy sports being allowed to receive prizes and money from almost everywhere in the world.........anyway, i really don't care about money, but it's turning into a personal battle.

IRRI:

When doing the friend trick, do the friend have to create the team with a US credit card (and then we send him money), or can we just change the name and address in the TSN "edit personal info" after signing the team from overseas, with a non-amercian card?

thanks.

tduncan, if you already have an account you can use it: you just have to change the personal information, filling the form with HIS name, surname, address and so on. You can pay with your credit card, as the owner of the account and the one who pays should have different names.
it's simple. If you than win a prize, he'll receive it, and could send it to you. Anyway, if you win cash he should simply pay you an ultimate team without sending you the money, but you've to give him your account's password.....hope it helps!!!

oh, well, erik, if i've to be honest i haven't yet looked at who to choose. i think it's far tooearly because of the transfers still open here in europe. A lot of things should change, and i want to see some friendly games before choosing my team. Anyway, i promise i'll share opinions here starting from the week before the start, when lineups will be almost settled......

I love Rome. Really. I especially love the Giallorossi. But my girlfriend is in Vicenza, and, with only a week of vacation time, I wanted to visit her. We're in talks to do a Serie A game, and I may come to Rome in the spring, but love is more important than Serie A (for now).
