is gladiator promo actually +EV? Some ppl were posting it wasn't earlier. I haven't opted in yet

The handhistory-change is terrible. The tables are more anonymous now and thats a big advantage for bots (the beginner bots exploit the populations-tendencies, so its no matter for them and the very advanced bots reads the player-names with OCR and so they are the only one now, who can still get specific player datas, thats an advantage-increase...). And in past many bots were detected by players because of suspicious/similar stats. Thats no longer possible. If you dont change it, I'll never play at party poker again.

Edit: So your reason as measure vs bots is a ****ing joke. The truth is simple, you try the same like in the past with the separate player-pools and its an attack vs regs.

Coincidence that they disable huds as soon as the gladiator promotion starts?

Party poker claiming to have taken steps to improve security on the site with better bot detection. Interestingly they have provided no proof of this and historically it has been a community effort to detect bots WITH THE USE OF DATABASES AND HUDS, unless they provide proof steps have actually been taken I think this is a pretty big joke. Let's get raped by russian bots to protect a fish's 45% utg opening range from being known.

They refunded some when some of the first accounts were banned but not after that. But like Partyrep's post says, they will do it all at once later this month.

If that's the case though then why didn't Colette answer with regards to why they've been holding the money till now etc? I really have serious doubts about this.

You'll have to ask Colette that

I have asked the product team to confirm and will provide an update when possible


The promo page has been updated with the correct details>

VERY IMPORTANT: Be sure to take note of your time zone! For example:
players using CET, each day starts at 00:00 CET and ends at 23:59 CET.
For players using ET, the day starts at 18:00 ET and ends at 17:59 ET

This now runs until the 2nd - the extra day was added due to the issues

No idea - I am not customer service and you have provided no details I can check
You could try call them, all contact details in the link>

I will feedback and discuss with the promo team


I was out of office when you sent the PM - I can not work 24/7

See above for the times - the promo page is up to date and has the correct times


When and where did you raise your question? Sorry I missed it

First of all - the team who manages the Gladiator are the promotional team - they do not manage the phased tourneys in the lobby - this falls to the poker team These tournaments have now been running for several months and we have had no issues regarding putting the correct players into day 2 so I see no need for you to be concerned
However the same feedback was raised previously at our live player forum and will be taken into consideration for future phased events - hopefully alongside the ability to automatically move these players rather than the current manual process

Regarding the white icon - I do not know I will find out however and feedback
Our pro icons are indeed orange
However - these certainly do not flag bots as you suggest

Sorry to keep pressing the same issue I'm just not 100% sure on it. So the time for European's is now 00:00 - 23:59? It said on the client it was 06:00 - 05:59, this means Europeans can't grind until 1am or 2am any longer for that day?

And the extra day has been added so we can hit 30 days and they do not have to be consecutive in case this time zone mess up could have affected us?

Thanks.

In the client it still says:



Calendar is ****ed up too. Points earned today (october 6th) shows as if they were earned yesterday and so on.

There has been so much confusion with regards to the time that I really think @Colette should press that suggestion i made to the promotions team, it's a great idea imo.

2 out of 3 days are messed up for me. One day because of that first few hours of promo that no points were rewarded because of Gladiator restart. The second day because of time inconsistencies between client and website. I did, however, make enough points on each day and took screenshots in my party account page online. Will these efforts by players be honored by PartyPoker, @Colette?

this is pretty fked up to change the time after the promo has begun. tons of peoples calendars are messed up and i'm sitting here and don't even know what time to play. you and the website are saying 2 different things

I have taken screenshots of hitting the points totals each day also, but my Gladiator calendar is a mess.

I'm actually probably going to rake more than the required amount so I'd be pretty damn angry if I don't get the bonus on some technicality!

Seems like Party always get it right in the end though?

I don't think t would be fair to just do it for those going for the top price. ppl would have the same problems grinding 25nl as well. Maybe the points made on the first 4 days could be allocated the way that you choose and the rest follow on from the new time zones.

The promotional page has been updated
The client will be updated to state the same as the promo page at some point today
I stated the same as the webpage which is correct


See above
The team are looking into the issue with the points display

Where do I find the partypoker livechat these days? It used to be on the website you get to once clicking support on the bottom of the client but for me there is no chat option anymore on that site

Quick question guys, if this promo has ran at least 2 times, why is this such a cluster ****?

Sorry to clog the thread, but Colette could you please just quickly confirm what time the 'day' starts and ends for those of us in the UK...?

Never mind it's 11pm for those that are interested

You can't just change the promo 4 days in that is not fair! I will be out of town on Nov 2 and the first day of promo I played my points but some of them rolled onto the next day because the time was stated wrong.

What your promo team needs to do is adjust everyones points correctly and continue along as it was.

This is all messed up. The most messed up promotion I have seen. People play hard for these things. You will drive away loyal customers with frustrating confusion like this.

It is a bit messed up. I feel for those who have been caught out by the timezone change. Can anyone clarify the crack with the extra day? Is it a 31 day promo now, so we can get a day off?

1.If I opt in today, will the points I earned since the start of the promo count?

2. Do you get points when you register a tournament or when you bust out of it?

It's on top of loyalty program.

It was in the first post above. To be fair, you replied that some funds from recently banned bots have still to be redistributed. Lessu replied advising some funds were redistributed when some of the first accounts were banned but nothing after that. I'm assuming the first bannings happened quite some time ago so that still leaves all the bots that were banned in between the first lot and the 'recent' ones. What happened to those funds?

I hope this makes sense.
