   I recently became a paying member of the PPA and was trying to sign up for the WSOP promotion. The problem is I can't access OneBigPlanet site to take advantage of any of the benefits there (whci is required to enter the WSOP Promo).

   Once I log into the PPA I go to my profile page. Then I click "Go to my advantages - powered by One Big Planet", but just get re-directed back to the PPA home page. I've been trying this for several days.

   Anyone have any idea what i can do to enter this WSOP promotion?

   Thanks for any help.

   I had the same problem...going in circles. I can't remember how I actually stumbled onto the correct page but here is the link I have bookmarked:

   http://pokerplayersalliance.onebigplanet.com/obp/public/home/displayPortalHome

   There is a link on the left hand column for the WSOP Buy and Win.

   Thanks a bunch for the link, but...

   When I go to the link provided and try to log in, I get "Authentication Failed. The information you provided is invalid". I then try and resend my password to my email address, but the system is telling me there is no user name with my password registered. I have used the same email address that is found in my profile from the PPA site so there is some clear error here.

   Any ideas what I can try next?

   I've got the exact same problem. I've written to the PPA and asked for help, but no response so far. I also called them today but just got an answering machine. The deadline for entry for the WSOP seat is this Monday and I fear I won't get any access in time. I feel like I'm the victim of a bait and switch scheme. Has anyone successfully got an entry to their WSOP sweepstakes?

   Hey - I just discovered how to get access! It's a little complicated though. It has to do with the tokens that PPA passes to the OneBigPlanet.com site from the URL link in your member page. Hopefully you will be able to follow:

   1. On your PPA member page, view the source code (in IE, click View/Source from your toolbar menu). This will bring up the source code in your editor, probably NotePad.

   2. Find ONEBIGPLANET in the code page. This will take you to the line that include the URL link.

   3. Highlight and copy the URL link, that is the whole URL, which is everything after href=" until the close quotation mark. Hint - the URL starts with: https://pokerplayersalliance.onebigplanet.com/

   4. Paste the copied URL to a blank page in your editor.

   5. You will now need to correct the birthdate token at the very end of the URL. Your birthdate is supposed to show in this format: YYYY-MM-DD . For example, mine said birthDate=1957-10-0-1 but I had to change it to birthDate=1957-10-6 (for October 6, 1957).

   6. Copy and paste this corrected URL to your browser to get access to the Advantage page. If you did it all correctly, you should now be logged in to PPA Advantage.

   Are you using Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer?

   After several phone calls and email attempts I finally received a response from the PPA about the log in issues. Apparently, for reasons unknown, you are not able to log in if you are using Mozilla Firefox as your web browser. I have tested this out and found that I can log in just fine with Internet Explorer and get the "Authentification Failed" message with Firefox.

   Hopefully this resolves your issue.

   I made a purchase yesterday from Major League Baseball's website after accessing OneBigPlanet from the PPA Advantage page. Is there any way to get a confirmation from OneBigPlanet or the PPA that I'm entered in the WSOP drawing? Thanks for your help.
