Please confirm if this is true or false?

Nice to know this for sure. Always knew whoever was behind the "IAmDrunk" SN was a monumental scumbag.

There are 2 separate (but related) topics here that Party_Rep needs to address.

1.) What exactly IS PartyPoker NJ's stance on changing one's username? Some regs have requested it through support and been granted, although often only once before support then declined a 2nd request. There is nothing in NJ terms and conditions (http://nj.partypoker.com/terms-and-conditions.html) directly addressing it, however I did find this in Party EU's terms (http://www.partypoker.net/help.html):


2.) Assuming PartyPoker NJ's policy does NOT allow for unlimited username changes, why is player formerly known as "IAmDrunk" being granted special exemption? Being able to frequently change your name while others can't is a humongous advantage. It's akin to PartyPoker NJ assisting in helping him steal money from other players.

Their software crashes every single day for half of their users, and they repeatedly blame it on ISP's and admit no fault. "Call Verizon Fios, it's a problem on their end" is their solution. They botch payouts in something, have their head guy in management admit they ****ed it up, and then make a public statement claiming it was meant to be that way all along and they did nothing wrong. (Look for my thread about chat logs with head management if you haven't seen it yet).

They have always made it a point to admit no fault and deflect in every situation. Good luck getting them to admit that they are letting people change their SNs. Everything Party NJ does/says is run through Party worldwide before anything is released. Worldwide doesn't allow it, so there is no chance they get the authority to admit to screwing this up by allowing people to change names.

Hi all,


I have sent this to CS management for review and feedback

I will update once I have a response

Kind regards,

Colette

YourDoom is the biggest scum bag in the entire state. His brother (WompWomp among other names) is second.

I know at least one guy who has 3 screen names.

curious for a response on this

Having 3 screen names and changing names is totally diff. They aren't multi accounting
This needs to be looked into tho, how is it allowed? YourDoom is such scum, he's like the black plaque to poker, everything he does has a more than subtle touch of scuminess to it

You can just call up Cs & they'll change it for you.

They are pretty non shalant about it.

Makes sense if you think about it. The more unfamiliar names I see on a table, the higher my antennas go up. Makes for more action. Bigger pots. More $ generating throughout. Conversely, same names same avatars = less action , less $ fluctuating .

Maybe I'm wrong but it's a thought.

Hi all,

The team are still looking into the issue raised above concerning the user and will be dealt with internally.

A username is the unique ID issued to each player when they sign up - this can not change.

Regarding screen name change - this is the name shown at the tables when playing. This can be changed upon request from CS
If a player is using this to abuse the system, we can deny any further screen name changes
The player cannot use the system to change this for themselves.
CS however can also deny any requests from users to change screen name should they suspect any foul play or should the user be frequently be requesting changes.
This is an infrequent request from our players in general having checked stats on this over the last few months.

The user in question is not affiliated to us on "NJ" market unless he is operating under a different affiliate name since regulations require that all affiliates be registered with DGE.


Kind regards,

Colette

Would like an answer to the above questions?

So, you confirm that people are allowed to change screen names by request, at Party's discretion? Glad to hear a completely incompetent company is in control of this. You would think this would be disallowed by the DGE. Sounds like the state regulators don't give a **** what you do. Who are you to decide who is and isn't "abusing" screen name changes? The only reason someone would be changing their name is for exactly that.. abuse. 95% of your employees have zero experience in a poker related industry. The more **** that comes out about you guys, the more disgusted I get.

This policy should be stopped immediately. It gives players an unfair advantage after they change their names. It allows for abuse by default.

I hope this issue will be brought up with someone higher up at Party so it can be rectified.

Colette, I appreciate your openness about this Party Poker policy. It allows people to give more useful feedback.

What possible reasons are there for allowing screen name changes?

because they ask nicely

What do you define as "frequent"? The player being discussed has been on a minimum of 5 names over the past 9 months.

Everyone in this thread has spoken - we don't want username changes to be part of PartyPoker NJ's policy. It creates an unfair playing field for the minority of players doing it. Having thousands hands on each opponent while they have none on you is NOT in the spirit of the game.

Are we allowed to out the screen names of the people that are abusing the screen name changes? What these players are doing is super scummy and it's basically multi-accounting to get an edge on other players. I'm at an absurd informational disadvantage if I think I'm playing someone for the first time and they have thousands of hands played with me. As stated above, what possible reason is there for these players to be changing screen names?

This is a straight up horrendous policy and the fact that your customer service reps are the ones who administer it is scary. Anyone who has played poker before would know this is awful.

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback
I can see from the recent comments this is an issue which requires some further feedback and discussion from the relevant management teams.
I will raise this and feedback when possible.

Kind regards,

Colette

Hey party can I please be allowed to see my opponents hole cards during the play of the hand.

It would be really helpful thanks!

you need to request this from customer service and it is done on a case by case basis. If they feel that you are abusing it, they can deny your request.

lol ok.

ACT RIGHT.

How about you guys stop attacking the rep who doesn't make the policies and just provides the answers...


Secondly, how about you guys name the user who has many different screen names.

It is totally fraud in my opinion if a user is changing their name.

I would love to know the user names that are all linked. Thanks all.

Yourdoom is the one will all the names. I thought this was clear?
