Oh I see, so that's why he can afford to lose 30k when raking 100k, because he gets enough rakeback to break even

If he breaks even after rakeback, he's not losing money.

I've never understood this silliness where players are judged differently if part of their profit (or in this case part of his "breakeven"?) comes from rakeback. We often see people disparagingly called "rakeback pros", but never a term like "low rake pros", even though getting 30% rakeback or playing on a site with 30% less rake would be exactly the same thing. And of course, either player is +EV against the field.

Wait you have ALREADY received an extension of 4 months and now you want another, it certainly seems like PartyPoker has bent over backwards to accommodate you.

What's next they provide the extension for 4 more months, you can't finish and you again complain that they won't accommodate you? Some customers are not worth keeping around.

some of you are insufferable.

Cut OP some slack, ffs. Imagine yourself in his shoes. Your little snarky comments, besides being hurtful, are totally unnecessary.

Yeah what is this the internet or something?

A guy whose main goal is to generate rake and not take money from other players is a good customer.

4 month is not nearly enough. How is he supposed play plo200 if he can only reload 1k? Anyways here:
That is the the diamond club. 40% rakeback and 10k back at 100k. 50% rakeback. That guy in the picture is pads he is a poster here op. Explain them 4 month is impossible and that you raked already 85% of your goal.
Due to the stupid regulations you cannot deposit more. They should value as a good customer.

Hard to do that because I'm not going to blame a pokersite for something my own goverment is responsible for. Op is not smart. He stupid. He should write that sheet to some local newspapers readers section.

It is not about four months or anything. It is about Partypoker to step forward.

I already explained them everything, they are not moving. As I already have written their suggestion was to give up my full time job and relocate to a country without restrictions

Yes, but somehow Partypoker and some users here dont see that...

Of course I also blame my government, but come on, as a big Poker site you can find solutions if you care...

I had a similar problem with pokerstars. They suddenly implimented the 1000€ Deposit limit and I had a monthly Rakeback challenge I couldnt finish. I didnt really care because I am currently not grinding as much anyways and probably wouldnt have finished it. But then pokerstars send me an Email that they saw I couldnt finish the challenge because of the Deposit limits and they credited me some money anyways. [I was at 25% of the 8.000 Dollar Rakeback challenge so they just gave me 2.000 Dollars]
I think that was a really nice gesture from pokerstars and I hope Partypoker will do something similar for you!

Lol why would ingram care about this? Is he god almighty?

Because it possibly makes for a good story that people might be interested in. That’s how he makes money.

Does PartyPoker allow funds transfer between players? maybe you can buy some money from winners?

Get a friend to deposit and chip dump to you

But yeah given the four month Covid extension already given I think Party has been more than fair especially since you can’t catch a virus playing online

This is honestly a really terrible idea unless you trying to get yur account frozen.

Why should this be a good story? Legislation is legislation. Nothing party can do and nothing really to see here. Sucks for OP but thats about it.

There a lot of things Party could do, some are already listed in this thread.

The easiest would be to either extend his deadline or pay out part of the bonus.

Not for German accounts anymore.

I won´t doing something illegal or abusing any system.

They definitely could at least come forward instead of insisting on the legislation excuse.

Most of the internet isn't as toxic as NVG. People seem to lash out as a default on here.

Lol i highly doubt it’s illegal and in a sense I’d argue that your government is abusing you in then case

But stop crying then because you have zero to complain about. The original deal was that you had 12 months to do this, by my math PartyPoker gave you 14. You lost and are owed nothing.

While I don't agree with all of the negative posts in this thread, the way you approached this has a lot to do with the response you've received. Your thread title says "Partypoker rips off German players". What the thread is actually about, is one player that is presently losing out on a bonus for a number of reasons. Suggesting that Party Poker is ripping off people is not even close to what's actually going on. Ridiculous accusations sometimes result in ridiculous responses.

If I were in charge of anything related to promotions or player retention/acquisition at Party Poker and knew about this situation, I'd want to offer a solution - maybe a pro-rated bonus payment. But I'd be under zero obligation to, and deciding not to do so would not be ripping you off. I don't think it would be a good business decision, but it's Party's decision to make.

There's a number of people on our forums who like to put Joey forward as a solution any time some perceived wrong has taken place; for whatever reason, he's become their "go-to" for all poker problems. That's not to say he can't ever be helpful or meant to besmirch him in any way; it's just not a great solution a lot of the times is posted. Of course madlex is right as to why Joey might want to take on a cause - I just can't see how this situation would be very interesting to many people.

I guess you missed the "or" in his post; that certainly would be abusing the system. I don't really understand your "but stop crying then" - if he doesn't want to participate in a chip dump, he shouldn't complain? I agree he's technically/legally owed nothing, but there is a case to be made for some kind of compromise - he's just not approached it the best way in this thread IMO.

Huh? Get a HU table and actually play it out for awhile and your chances of getting frozen are like 0%. And I wouldn’t even be sure if the site would want to vigorously prevent common sense victimless work arounds of this law anyway.

So in 14 months you paid 82k in take and party should just assume you'd pay another 18000 and just hand you 10k for no reason?how were you screwed over exactly?

Thanks Bobo for a quality post. I opened the thread when I was kind of furious

Please change thread title to: Losing bonus (Diamond Club) because of new German law / Partypoker refuses to help out
