How to Redeem a FreeRoll Token

• Go to the website at http://www.wptapl.com and choose your Country.
• LOG IN to your Member Page using the LOG IN area at the top right of the home page using your Member ID# and WPTAPL Password. (if you have an AOL, Comcast or Roadrunner email you MUST contact WPTAPL to create your password and log-in)
• Once logged in to your MyAPL account, look for the tab “ONLINE EVENTS”.
• If you have not created a player account you will find the fields to create your WPTAPL Online Player Account at the top of the "ONLINE EVENTS" Section.  You will be asked to create a Screen Name and Password then choose an Avatar.  Once done, click submit.  
• You have now created a WPTAPL Online Account and Screen Name and are now ready to Launch the software and play an event.
• Enter your Screen / Player Name and Password that you just created in the LOGIN Section of the ONLINE EVENTS Area, and click "Launch WPTAPL Online"
• WPTAPL Online Software Lobby will load in a new window and you will find yourself in the lobby.  

• 24 hours prior to any Free Roll start time a green redemption button will appear to the right of the event listing.
• To find the event listing click the “online events” tab from your Member Page.
• When you redeem a token you will be automatically registered for the event for which the token was redeemed.
• Once registered you must be logged into the software when the event starts and you will be automatically seated at a table when the event starts…it’s that simple!

• 24 hours prior to the event a green REGISTER NOW BUTTON will appear next to the event listing in the schedule
• When you REGISTER you will be automatically registered for the event.
• Once registered you must be logged into the software when the event starts and you will be automatically seated at a table when the event starts…it’s that simple!
• NOTE: Once registered the “register” button will change to read “unregister”.  This is an easy way to confirm whether you are in fact registered or not: If the button reads “register” you still need to register. If the button reads “unregister” you are registered for the event and don’t need to do anything else.
• Make sure you are back in the tournament lobby before the actual event starts.
• When the event starts you will be automatically seated at your table

• SHOW UP EARLY!  Login a minimum of 15 minutes before the start of the event to assure that everything is ready.  If you login minutes before the event you are setting yourself up for failure!
  
  
• On occasion server errors and/or event settings may require that we “reset” an event. If required, this will UNREGISTER anyone that was previously registered for the event. Arrive early and make sure that you are still registered for the event to assure that you will be seated at a table when the tournament starts.
