I was just wondering what age you need to be in order to play in a WSOP event, and if you need to be 21, can you somehow get the $10,000 cash if you're under 21 and win one of the FPP tournaments?

um.... hell no? arent you supposed to be over 21 to even be playing stars (legally)

I emailed them, and they said the legal age is 18.

Edit- That's for playing on the site, not for the WSOP.

WSOP is 21. If you rememeber they "had " to check Murphy's ID to amek sure he was 21.

I'm pretty sure you can unregister and get the 10k in tournament cash(thats a lot of tournaments). I doubt stars would screw you out of 10k just because you aren't 21.

I'm almost positive you can't. A friend on another forum won a $10k seat and wanted to unregister but there was no way he could. Not for $T $W or anything.

Would it be possible to sell it to someone for like $8500, or $9000? I really want to use these 20 FPP I have.

Nope. If you don't play in it the seat is forfeited.
