I'm pretty sure I was awarded my Gladiator bonus, but I don't see it in my bonus history. Where can I confirm I received it?

Yeah. I knew it and mentioned it here as soon as they published this promotion. It's ridiculous how bad promotion-wise they make these... play a little get $100+ freeroll ticket, play a lot more and get some pathetic $15.

And I guess I won't even try to deal with Party (non-existent) support and lose my time. Just managed to cash both events, and although I lost 500$-1000$ in terms of ICM equity I can pretty much guess their answer is "we're sorry for the problem, but as you cashed we won't pay you anything because they're just chips without monetary value". I would expect that decent site would at least refund $214 as I lost more than in both tables due to bug and server crash but I don't think Party is a decent site.

Anyways, can I except even that Colette passes the bug forward so that it would finally get fixed? The one when you timeout and occasionally you stay blinded out without seeing "Play again" or whatever button and only way to sit back in table is to close current one and open it again from lobby. Always miss one hand unless you note the button missing, which isn't easy if you play even few tables or are otherwise occupied.

It's not a bonus so it won't show in bonus history. Check your transactions history

Old post but I'm still curious about this. Last time I read in this thread it seemed like they were removing HUD's and everything that had to do with HEM altogether. So they won't remove it? Still get stats in HM etc.

Also, regarding tables. Is it completely anon or do you see their nick once you start playing?

Thanks

HUDs were never banned and won't be. That has always been the case and still is.

Tables are anonymous until you are dealt cards.

This is a security team that couldn't even detect this:
The team are aware of the issue on the play money tables and are working on resolution

Keep dreaming.

No download = no data = no hud.

Own scripts or capture software = not allowed = account closed and money gone.

So

Same as hud = banned.

Or better, please explain me how you are going to use your 'not banned' hud in the future?

Huds aren't banned. Downloadable hand histories are, which is how huds give you stats. So, effectively, huds will be banned.

Its taking longer to actually happen than i thought, though. Is it even still definitely happening Collete?

There is so much misinformation in this thread so I will try and summarize quickly.

Party is embarking on making several changes. They are exploring options and the first changes were stopping the predatory seating issues involved with scanners scripts and other methods. They tried the first fix with that by making the first hand anonymous which stopped table scanners and pretty much any form of extreme table selection but the scripts came back. So now they have changed the rules outright banning scripts and assuring users using them will be punished. We will see what happens with that.

The second stage they talked about was limiting the software's players can use to level the playing field. This was never concretely decided on and that is why it was not implemented right away and still has yet to be. The one thing we know for sure is that the tools players use will be severely limited and defined in the upcoming month or so. I do not think hand histories will stop being downloadable. None of us will know forsure what exactly will happen till it happens but what is known is that at this very moment there are no concrete plans to remove hand histories or block HUDS. Notecaddy and software like this will probably be gone though, that you can count on.

So not banning huds means banning huds? Interesting logic.

I think Colette already relayed a message saying that they are reviewing the original plan based on the feedback. Personally I think not offering downloadable HHs would be a major mistake and it would hurt Party too much compared to the gains they are trying to achieve.

no matter what their decision is going to be it has to be clearly worded. I mean so far Collette was purposely avoiding direct answer to the problem.
If they decide to ban it so be it but they should make it clear e.g. clarifying that HUDs are illegal,screen scraping software illegal too.
Saying we won't support 3rd party tools is like not saying anything and keeping as blind and no one wants to get banned for using things like that in the future.

Of course but the changes also need to be enforceable. How can they detect and ban some programmer who makes a program for himself or for some small group only?

And I think Colette is not avoiding answering but she just doesn't have the final answer yet. It's clear the original plan isn't the current plan.

The next step in our ecology changes are under discussion with the management teams
When I have confirmed details I will be sure to share. Sorry I can not offer anything further for the time being.

Thanks

So if I write a icm/nash program for real time advice for myself only, I will not be banned from play? Or a bot reading the screen and giving me advice while I am playing?
