    Does anyone know if you get tier credits for the buy-in amount you have to pay for tournaments it could be slot or table tournaments just curious since I am doing the 1K Buy in it would be nice to get tier credits for the buy in purchase.

    I did a $2500 one at VP and was super sad there was no tier credits, loss, THEO....anything tied to it- and that is supposedly standard practice.

    That's been the case for me with any buy-ins or rebuys at every property I've played a tournament.

    Depending on the tourney prize breakdown is, 100% value of the entry could be returned to the players. In that case, no theo makes sense because they make no money directly off the tourney. I have no idea if awarding 100% of the prize pool is standard though. Casinos know not to waste paper on me...lol

    I have only played in a couple of tourneys that didn't have a buy in. Even that was a little bit of a shitshow as my host at the time (not current host) wanted to eliminate my $1500 free play for tournament entry. I would have had to finish in the top five of that tourney to break even. We finally agreed on I would get free play above whatever I won in the tourney. If I won more than $1500 then no additional freeplay. I won $500 freeplay and she put the $1000 back on. But it was a struggle to get that and really not worth it.
