isn`t your poker team changing now that you are under 888?

because they are terrible

so funny, your team thinks its doing good and 80%+ of your customers are telling you that they want to play the 1k on another day and not on mondays.

What is wrong with u guys?

Ask your customers ffs on what day they want to play the 1k, and ask them if they want to have the 1k on a Sunday instead of the 500$ one right now.

20$ 1RE is still starting at :45 with no break after 10min.

On Sundays we have our Majors and the 150K GTD
On Tuesdays our competitors have high roller events.
Fridays/Sats - not an option

We opted for Monday and the team and management are happy with the decision for now. This is continuously under review and we may opt to move the day or add another in the coming months - for now it will remain on Mondays.
The survey was together feedback regarding the format of the tournament in detail and what the players would like to change - aside from the day the tournament is played


With regards to the $20 1RE this starts at :45 and is in level 1 when the breaks hit - which means it does not break - expected functionality
I understand this is not optimal and have asked the PRM team to review with regards to the start time for this tournament

Thanks

Do party think putting it on a Tuesday would mean it's directly competing vs other sites offerings?

Just look at the success of the Volcano on 888 to see this isnt the case. They complement each other. The players that play both the ST and Volcano would more than likely play whatever HS party offered on that day too.

A lot of this player pool skip Mondays and play again Tuesday.

Not like its a huge risk with such a small guarantee anyway, but Tuesdays would pump more action into it no doubt.

Its seems simple stuff (like moving your Sunday majors to make them more agreeable to the vast majority of recreational and reg players from the countries that make up most of the world player pool these days).

Hi all

As posted on our main thread....

I wanted to share the news with you first hand regarding a recent change for our players.
The full press release will go live tomorrow and emails will be sent out with all details.

partypoker is excited to announce that players will no longer be charged fees for withdrawing their funds on most payment options on partypoker.com. The processing fee has been removed from almost all withdrawal options including bank transfers as well as MasterCard and Visa cards.

partypoker is on a mission to bring back poker to the people and as part of this they are committed to continued consultation with the grassroots poker community. Feedback highlighted what a contentious issue withdrawal fees are for partypoker players so the poker team has made it their mission to get these removed.


Kind regards,

Colette

Ffs, I cashed out 6k two days ago... Is there any chance you guys could consider refunding some of the fee I paid (200+$) as a sign of good faith?

Sounds like a great move. Can you please confirm that it isn't counterbalanced by any change in the way that FX rates are applied, etc (or even fees on deposits)?
07-30-2015 , 09:02 PM
Please upgrade your software and servers, please upgrade your support.

Do these + make your rake a little more competitive in some areas, and you will quickly grow to become a contender vs PokerStars.

There will be no other changes made to counterbalance this - no deposit fee or change in our currency exchange rates

Great - thanks Colette. First really positive change for a while IMO (but as usual of course it will reward / encourage grinders more than casual players*).
