Just registered for the BOTS tournament, the $300 prize pool is pretty inviting seeing as it only cost $5 to enter, what's even more inviting is the fact that there are not a huge number of rivals. There's 13 sites involved and currently just 32 players, ourselves included, that are registered.

All you have to do is win the OLBG $300 tournament on 18th August and you are in the grand final!

In the BOTS grand final there's a chance to win a 7k package (1st prize), a 3.5k package (2nd), $1k (3rd), $800 (4th), $600 (5th), $400 (6th) and $200 (7th).

So the eventual winner of the OLBG BOTS $300 MTT has a 7 in 13 chance of scooping a significant prize (plus you will already have won $175 for winning the OLBG BOTS $300 MTT). Even if you don't qualify for the next round, there's still $105 and $70 on offer for 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

That's incredible value for a $5 outlay Win
