Hi guys/gals,

Is there a way to prevent the Enter/Return key from betting/raising? On more than one occasion I've been typing elsewhere and my slapping the key coincided with my turn....and I'm not so keen on making 1x raises with As )

Thanks in advance.

If Party is serious about trying to create a SNG ecosystem with this new RB scheme, please consider the following:

(1) 6-max and/or 9-max hypers with reasonable pricing. It's one format that has proven it can maintain sustainable liquidity (look at Stars last year @45% RB). Turbo 6-max & 50/50s only....that's gonna be tough.

(2) Hands/level instead of timed levels. There's a lot of blind-timer programs out there that people use....to stall....every.......hand (yes, in SNGs). Now picture RB grinders who mass-table and also use these stalling programs (and the playing experience for net depositors facing such when they just want to get in a few quick games of Tourney poker).

(3) Changing from 60/40 to 65/35 or 70/30. Soft collusion on bubbles is rewarded more in 60/40 (one balance-out fold to a short stack can have a bigger equity gain for the receiver). Of course, this probably has little-to-no effect on your bottom line (like #s 1 & 2 do).

Where have all the standard speed single table SNGs gone?

Only double or nothing / turbo coming up?

+1

Please, can someone confirm really quick that Tournament $ can still be used?

Thanks.

Party gutted the SNG lobby. 9 max standard, 6 max hyper and FLHU all gone.

+++++++++++++2, especially to #1. Lobby as it stands is a joke with only turbo 6max and doubles that take forever.

You are correct, I was being to sarcastic. Apologies babyfist.

It seems to be working fine today.

I have some sign up questions:

A
1. There is a $500 matched deposit bonus for sign up, right?
2. Which is completed via $1 per 5 points?
3. $1 rake paid is 1 point?
So the sign up bonus in question is essentially a 20% rakeback?

Which leads me to:

4. While clearing the deposit bonus, the points I earn still gives me the new rakeback system rakeback? So it adds to it? If I play at a rate which earns me 20% rakeback with the system, it combined with the sign up clearing would essentially be a 40% rakeback during that time?

Thank you for any help

Hi all

Following on from our recent announcement regarding our Sit & Go (SNG) formats we are pleased to confirm some further changes to our current offering

Fees have been reduced by up to 70% offering great value

We done some housekeeping reducing the amount of variants we had on offer to create a clean and slick lobby which allows easy navigation to find the game you want while also helping to reduce waiting times - getting the games started much quicker
Our current variants on offer are - HU hyper turbos, HU turbos, DON, 6-max hyper turbo and 6 & 9 max Turbos

As per player feedback last week – we reinstated 6-Max DONs, 6-Max Hypers and 9-Max Turbos *

We hope you like the improvements and as always your feedback is appreciated

Thanks

Colette

Imo yes but you can allways just ask from the live support to confir, that. Atleast the reloads were bonus + the normal shop.

E and thx Colette for the info.

It's time to take the reins,
Look at SNGs from micro to high
With attractive rewards.

I can't believe im gonna ask for this but... can you add waiting lists...

Hey Party, I'm happy to see you growing and I have a quick question - any chance you might be considering implementing some version of fast-fold heads-up tables? It's the format that I've been playing for years now and with a downfall of Stars, looks like there may be no place to play anywhere.

Now, I understand that sites are generally opposed to investing in heads-up cash formats, because of all the bumhunting, however this is not the case for fast-fold hu. The format forces regs to battle each other a lot, and one recreational entry can usually "feed" up to 4-8 regs entries, not to mention that regs are still gonna look for edges in games with no spot, due to ego nature of hu.

Another argument for implementing the format is that it is highly entertaining for recreational players - it provides a lot of action and doesn't punish very loose preflop play. From my experience, the vast majority of losing players in fast-fold hu games are playing them many times a week, often very long sessions. While it is true that in bb/100 recs' loserates will be bigger, they are also getting to play way more (you can essentially play every single hands in hu without making a huge mistake), which might explain the high return rate.

Also, with std deviation in hu being much higher than in 6max, recs are way more likely to go on a big upswing from time to time, which is very unlikely to happen in 6max (same arguments goes for PLO).

I believe that with some marketing the format can be very profitable for both players and the site, hell, even with exactly 0 marketing and being excluded from all their promos, nl50 and nl100 hu zoom run 24/7 on Stars, and nl200 and nl500 run a lot, even after Stars tripled the rake there, making it VERY hard to profit.

Please let me know if you find that reasoning compelling.

Heads-up fastforward tables were introduced at Party in August 2012. I don't remember when they were removed; apparently that happened because of low popularity.

Nice!! It's obviously going to take time to build an ecosystem, and the summer might be a tougher time to get to liquidity than your peak periods. (Regs will only keep playing (even with increased rakeback) if they're not losing $$, etc.).

Hands/level instead of timed. Please, please, please. High-volume will bring stalling programs back. Assume there's in-house data on roughly how many hands/level that should be (or you could look at Stars, etc. public info and see how they do it).

Also, there's no option yet in SNG Filters to select/unselect Double or Nothings. For those of us who don't play them, that would be really nice.

thanks for the info, I'm hoping that with some right marketing they could gain some traffic now, esp since regs moving away from stars could provide liquidity

I haven't played on Party for ~10 years (back when you got $5 from pokerstrategy and after you earned $20 you had to move to Party to get another $25.. good times). I will now update software and move considerable action over. Amazing changes!

Quick question: How long do cashouts to NETeller usually take?

Need fulltilt style software or something sleekish. Rsa token a must. Without these you.lose a hell of alot of custom

Hi,
I hope a Party Rep can help me out because dealing with customer support via e-mail hasn't been great.

I created an account a month or two ago, deposited around 200€ to try the site, lost almost everything (Iirc I had 20€ left in my account at the end of the session).

A few weeks later, I try to login, and I get a message telling me that my account has been frozen or something like that. I then sent an e-mail to ask what's going on, and I get an e-mail telling me that my account has been closed due to me chipdumping to another player and that my funds have been seized.

This is 100% not true.

I sent an e-mail denying the chipdumping claims, and a week later got an answer that was simply a copy of the first e-mail they sent me.
(fwiw I misread the e-mail and thought that Party considered that I was on the receiving end of the chipdumping, but it doesn't change a thing -- those allegations are plain wrong, I didn't chipdump to anyone).

I can understand that from time to time you'll get false positives, but I find it unacceptable that I wasn't informed by e-mail of the ban and that I wasn't given a chance to defend myself in the first place, and now that I have to deal with support agents that won't send me any sort of justification or engage a dialogue.

I hope that this situation can be resolved

Awesome to see that the 9mans are back, and reduced rake well thats just gonna make me play a bunch more ! Also agree with gramps on filtering out DONS that would be just lovely and make things a lot easier too! But keep up the great work and changes, no doubt I am shifting most my action to PP now

When will Summer of Grind?

The rakeback actually starts at 10%, for those who get ~49 points for the week. The majority of registered accounts will get zero rakeback every single week as they will not get to $25 rake, unlike before when we could accumulate points to get some rakeback later.
