I'm just baffled that there is hardly any advertising for it.

Compared to the previous GSOS, which was hyped like crazy, this one is so far covered in almost complete silence.
Or is it just silence before the storm breaks loose?
Personally, I wont join unless I win a free ticket, like last year.

So was I.
It starts tomorrow, and so far I have had only ONE email about it, and from a casino I haven't played at in YEARS.
Fortune Lounge also advertise it in the lobby under "My promotions".
I would expect other casinos to start advertising it, but so far the only clue comes when you view the tournaments, and see the feeders.
The only GUARANTEED first prize is 100,000 but there is mention of $2,400,000 worth of gold bullion to be won. Also, the prizes are supposed to increase the more people buy in, which makes it even MORE surprising that there is almost NO advertising, as surely they would WANT people flocking in so that the prizes increase, thus drawing even MORE people in.
Last time, I was awarded 3 free entries to the final from where I am VIP, and didn't have to play a feeder, nor buy a ticket. I also remember that right at the end the tickets to the final were being sold off at half price, and even when it was over, there were STILL about 2000 places unfilled - and US players could play then!
With no US players allowed THIS time, the field might be much smaller, yet the prizes seem BIGGER.
This suggests that we were ROYALLY screwed over the last time, because the prizes did NOT increase as more players bought in.
Trust me, I'm a weatherman.
