I deposited, got the bonus... tournament ticket was showing in cashier.... Fast forward a day and I go to use my ticket to register in a tourney and my ticket is no longer there... I contact support and they tell me i signed up through an affiliate site and they couldnt do anything. I literally downloaded the software from their site and contacted support to arrange my bonus, so I have no idea how I signed up through an affiliate... Anywho, I never played on the site again.
Had sort-of a similar beginner experience - when first starting out with poker, didn't realize that after not playing for a certain amount of time, some sites like Party charge 'fees' for dormant accounts. Guess at the time, was expecting them to be like a bank and just be happy to make interesting on peoples' deposits, or something?
After noticing my account had been 'raided' (
), contacted Party and they said they'd sent me an email to let me know they were going to start charging me - but it may have gone to my spam folder, because there didn't seem to be one in my inbox folder? Maybe something similar happened to o/p?
Was happy to play on Stars after that, because they had a poker school, and a beginner's league, and stuff like that. Didn't give Party another try for several years, but times change - even Stars takes coins from dormant accounts after 6 months, don't they?
Have to admit, Party's sent me several free tickets that have more than made up for the 'stolen funds' - but am still wary of 'hidden' fees ... still play there every once in a while though ...
