There are bots out there with sng and mtt profiles yes. Bots are not exclusively for Cashgames...

I can confirm none of my guys who I have ever stakes are allowed to play satalites or volume required to win a leaderboard. I think one guy won one luckily once and that's it.

Not sure how either would make me look bad.

Sounds convincing. Off the hook

The same bots are playing shorthanded hero sit and goes 24/7 7 days a week up to 100$. Maybe they are just luckbots funded by Patrick botting for fun

Are mods going to continue to allow this troll chomp post?

I'm being accused of having "luckbots " play $100 spins?

Pads while you're here, I've been pushing for a CPP package leaderboard for cash game players, any chance of something like that happening? MTT players are being given tons and tons of packages, but absolutely nothing for cash game players so far...

^^didnt u grind ridiculous volume for some cash game promo recently?

Nope, haven't done a big volume grind since I won a CPP package on Coral in 2015

Can someone else confirm/deny the traffic levels in the Fast Fwd games? (I don't play on Party. I'm just interested to hear if it's really that quiet).

We've recently launched the diamond club which is 50% rake back for high volume players, or 40% for lower volume. I think we currently offer the most competitive cash game and tournament loyalty systems currently. There is few "extra extra" stuff being considered, but nothing official.

That's something I am participating in, and I think it's fantastic, just thought Party might wanna offer some sort of "most hands of 100ff played in a week" type thing when they're punting packages to MTT players left right and centre.

Colette/Pads,

Please could you provide us with an update on the following issues:

- Bots.
- 3rd party software.
- PP software upgrade.

Thanks in advance,

This is bit misleading. You need to rake 1.2k in a week to get that. And if you manage to rake something between the limits you play with 0% for a while. For example player pays 990$ rake in a week. The checkpoints are 900pts for 270$ and 1000pts for 300$. So the player gets 270$ back and the rb is 27%. Not a big difference but still a difference. If a player rakes 1185$ in a week he gets 300$ back and the rb is 25% instead of 30%. Still not a big difference but a difference.

With the 40% strd deal if you rake 1350$ in a week you get 480$ back and the rb is 36%

Correct me if I'm wrong beacuse I don't play much party atm.

Guess they're comparing notes. This is just like emailing support. Zzzzz

Shady stuff going on on this site. I played a $44 satellite yesterday for Powerfest #327 ($215 buyin) and won a seat. Under 'read more' in the satellite lobby it says "ticket winners will be auto reg'd into powerfest #327" (like on stars) so I check the lobby for 327 and my screen name is not there so I click on the ticket icon in the lobby and no tickets are showing either. Then I contact support and the guy says check the 'inactive tickets' box under the (tiny) 'filters' icon so I do and now there is a $215 ticket showing but it is 'inactive'. (Also, while I am talking to support, the lobby for the satellite I just won self-closes and when I check the 'completed' box in the tournaments menu it is not showing on the list anymore.)
I explained what happened to the support guy and said maybe there's a problem with your auto-reg system to which he simply replied 'system did not register the players' with no explanation why. I said well can you confirm that I will be registered into it at some point? and he replied 'I cannot confirm this'. I was pretty shocked by this.
So instead of being auto-reg'd into the tourney like it said in the satellite lobby, I have now got an 'inactive' $215 ticket with no idea if it will ever become active.

What a mess (if true).

They just emailed me now:

Thing is the tournament is there listed in the lobby right now with status 'Registering' and 3 people currently registered yet my ticket is still inactive???

I'm late to the table but can I add a sixth reason:

Party poker tbles are predominently or completely in USD right? But Party doesn't accept US players?
So all the non US players that deposit in Euros etc because they don't have a USD visa card, to be able to deposit in USD, get whacked by at least a 2.5% (on both deposit AND withdrawal) indirect exchange rate fee. Obviously Skrill,Neteller and such are options, but they also have fees at least around the 2% mark.

Also if you don't have a USD partypoker account, I believe you also get hit by their exchange rate 2.5% every time you buyin in and withdraw money from a table.

If I understand this all right, partypoker or their moneychanger must be making a lot of money from all the players exchanging money; Nearly as much as they rake.

Surely it would make sense to make all the table currencies Euro.

Over a week later and still waiting.....

This isn't the case at least with tournament buy-ins / cashes. Using euros as main currency, they're using same exchange rates for those which seem to be correct rate updated once per day.

See above ^^

Hi Colette,

I'm confused. Your 'response' was posted before my question?!?!

Are you suggesting that your response addresses my queries or that I should ask it in a different thread?

Regards,

Snook

To be fair, your question was kind of vague and open-ended. Maybe you could be more specific?

can anyone confirm/deny this? Haven't played a ton there, and really haven't paid much attention to this, but would be concerning if true.

I'm pretty sure none of that is true.

My account is in EUR, and didn't have to ever pay any fee on deposits/withdrawals.
Also, pretty sure there is no fee when I put money on/off the USD table.
