please explain the logic of this policy

In poker possible foul play (teamplay, chipdamping, money laundering ...)
But in the slots just need to press a single button.
What sense to delay payments?

Hey Colette, quick question about deposits, I went to deposit today but noticed for £500 I'd get $735.88, but FOREX says it should be $755.23 (at time of writing this). Where does the $20 go? It says FEE: FREE on client.

Cheers

Colette can answer as well but I figured I'd give some info. No business will give you the forex rate. There is always a vig in there and Party like any other company also has to pay a vig to their banks. The more volume the closer to the spot rate you get but you aren't going to get the forex rate.

If you are depositing in gbp you should keep your account in gbp so you dont lose any money on converstions in or out. When playing poker it will automatically convert to dollars so you won't lose any money there because the in and out rates will be the same.

Thanks man. I definitely need a Party tutorial, seems a great deal less user friendly than stars!

I understand companies needing to charge for vig, but the fact a fee is hidden, when it blatantly says 'Fee: FREE' seems shady. Not to mention should probably be waived for at least one transaction a month say, to promote business/get back from rake anyway.

So can I deposit in GBP and convert to USD in client like on stars? At the moment currency drop down in greyed out and inaccessible. How do I use this?
Don't trust Party to convert £ to $ for games when buying in if they hide fees.

Set your whole party account to gbp currency. When you deposit £500 your account will show £500. No converstion necessary. When you sit a poker table it will auto convert what is needed to play in us funds. When you leave the table it will convert back to gbp at the same rate. That is the only way you will pay no fees.

I think you can change your account currency in the settings or you may have to email support or live chat or call them. It's not like stars where you can have your account in multiple currencies.

Get used to shady practices if you want to play on Party.

Do tell. I am a party noob.

Also, are we still waiting for an explanation of the AI INFESTATION screenshot or was it posted above and I missed it?

I guess a couple quick things:

-don't ever play on casino/slots even if you get a 'bonus' or 'free money' for those games, a lot of fine print in casino promos, it's never worth it

-if you experience problems in game; lag, dc'ed, frozen tourney, or anything else, i'd recommend taking screenshots of the problems as they come. Screenshots are your best friend, I haven't had many of those kind of problems but i've always been treated fairly by Party staff when I did. **From my experience you also are treated better if you achieve Paladium status, VIP...

I have two suggestions Id like to make, and I believe this is the appropriate thread as I havent found a suggestions partypoker thread.

1) Have the ability to take notes on players in the replayer. When your playing more than a few games it can get hard to locate a single player but if you can take notes in replayer that changes the functionality completely.

2) Can we have the names of players in the lobbies for SNGS? Its also tough having to open up every game to see things that potentially could be placed in the lobby itself. And I would suggest the same for cash but iirc its anonymous now so I think that point is moot there.

Thats all for now, cheers

The Gladiator information is now available @ https://www.partypoker.com/whats-goi...iator2015.html.

If you can manage to earn >= 1,200 points for 30 days, you will get $4,000 or <= 22% rakeback.
For me personally, it will be a challenge to play up to 20 days in December and earn >= 10 points on all those days to get $10 or <= 10% rakeback.

Looks horrible promotion for MTT-players and overall. Just rewards other formats mindless megagrinders.

Also: I'd rather take $3,5k freeroll ticket in this promotion than some $5 or $7 cash.

Spend your VIP points as you earn them because Party like to devalue them every 3-6 months without warning.

Maybe a dumb question but with the new sng design i thought it was impossible to see who has registered. Every time i reg for a hu sng i run into some east europe reg and I know that these scum of the earth are teaming up and will never in a million yrs play against each other. How the hell are they doing this?

MAybe the russians use some kind of SpinWiz software, so they dont sit each other.
On the Hyper 6 max SnG's you have exactly 2 russians regs the whole day. If one quits another comes on.
Also the russians play very similar.

Have serious performance issues in bwin, when I select tab on tourney/sng, then it will crash for like 5 minutes. When I select another tab, it again crashes for 5 minutes. Have tried reinstallation, but this doesn't work.
