hi,
is it possible to get multiple bonuses from the gladiator promo. for examle 10 days at 200 poits and five at 1200?
or are the 10 days for 200 points worthless?
thank you.

"-In cases where players have earned different point amounts over various days, we will always award the highest cash prize based on total number of points earned.
-Players can only earn one prize each."

Straight from the promo page.

its easy solved, just make it clear in terms and conditions that tourney ends if not all places paid are filled etc

I can't see Party ever doing this, not only that but they would have to predict this problem BEFORE it even happened. This is such a unique situation that it's not even realistic to expect Party to have the foresight to do anything about it. I don't blame Party for how this specific tourney functioned. Players who contacted CS while trying to register for it(within the 60mins of late.reg) should at least be eligible for the min-cash, OR, and this is even more of an unrealistic suggestion...your equity. *Assuming a 100person field($1K).

The tournament functioned as expected - as all players were awarded cash - the tournament reg will end as soon as one player leaves the tournament
I am sorry you feel this was not clearly stated on our promotional page and have shared your feedback with the promo team

I don't see it as an issue. It would take them 2 mins to change terms and conditions for games like this.
No it wasn't foreseen but it has happened now and I am sure this will happen again.

The result from party's view is fairly standard in the industry.

I hate late-reg and am glad it happened tbh, it is a function that should allow people to join a game after ithas started because they couldn't make the start.
In this case it was being used to try and con the system (wait for others to get knocked out then join for a guaranteed prize) so hahaha tbh.

Lol, I don't think anyone was trying to do that, especially w/ a $5K bounty out there. I love watching how your brain works though, it's interesting seeing a woman's opinion in the forum. Out of curiosity, do you play a lot of live? Is poker your main source of income?

i was one of the first 15 people signed up for the event. even before partypoker sent out the email telling people to register on monday i was playing and saw the ticket and registered.
- i was registered for nearly 7 days
- i unregistered 30 mins prior to the start of the event to take a ****** shower because the lobby said 6 levels of late registration.
-i have screenshots of the specific event T&C's as well as the general party poker ones. No where does it state late registration ends when a player is eliminated in the money.
- partysupport is angling to not payout the 20k to players like myself using a backroom rule that only they know about and is not provided visually to anyone but themselves.
-i have played 8,500+ real money tournaments on partypoker in 2015 alone, never has a tournament ended in late registration when eliminating a player ITM (this occurred frequently in the late night $109 3k gtd, prior to the change to the knockout series and never once did registration close)

this was brought up to partysupport in emails i have had with them also noting that this was not some 95k free roll. We did not like or re-tweet some social media nonsense to qualify for this event. all 99 players who made it to this event paid minimum ~$800 in rake in specific qualifying tournaments over the course of the month to get our seats.

there should have been no late registration at all. i would never have unregistered, and all of the players who were most likely waiting until the first ante blind level 5 (50-100+ante) would have just been regged from the start. But instead:

-party put late registration in the lobby to trick as many players as possible into not joining with the sole purpose of paying out the bare minimum possible in this $95,000 gtd promotion.

if people were not trying to abuse the system, no-one could have been tricked

The rule has always been that when a player is eliminated ITM late reg closes instantly. I've never seen late reg continue after a player is eliminated ITM.

If he would sit out and avoid the bounty by having a shower, why is him sitting out for auto-cash so different?

you obviously have no clue what the bounty was or how the tournament worked. the only thing i was avoiding was blinding out for 30 mins. 30mins of blinding out i would have gladly done had there been no falsely stated late registration. the same reason i wasnt registered in the 150k gtd or a myriad of other tourneys i play on the sunday 14 hour grind. the same 14 hour grind i wasnt planning to do covered in sweat and who knows what other fungus you pick up from the gym. i did nothing wrong, i wasnt trying to game any system. something like 25 players had to be eliminated for a pay jump, which given the structure was going to be almost impossible to see during the 60mins stated late registration, just look at how it took 34mins for 1 player to be eliminated.

many times the old 109 3k gtd that started at 8pm EST and ran all this year prior to the schedule change would pay out 9 gtd spots even with only 27 entrants. many times the 9th player would be eliminated leaving only 8 entrants but 9 paid spots and reg would stay open while 5 more people would register taking it back up to 15ish players. this happened on almost a daily basis.

Seems like you just don't understand. I would still like to know if poker is your main source of income and if you're mostly a live player. Because if the answers were 'no' and 'yes' respectively then it would explain a lot.

It was your choice.

That isn't party's fault

What difference does it make?

I was going to agree with Lessu et al, but is this what happened? If so, what does coinflipper, etc. want partypoker to do now?

I think your point of view, or anyone's for that matter, has a lot to do with your knowledge/passion for the game, as well as whether you play live vs. online. The cultures in the live world is different than online. There is nothing wrong with playing live, and not doing it for your primary source of income. So to answer your question in short: "A big difference." Your turn.

My point of view is the fact that normally satellites end if everyone is in the money, and its the guys own fault. If he plays 8500 mtts a year he should know this.
My 'passion' is irrelevant.

Just noticed this one as I was away this week. Since the tournament was $100k guaranteed (including $5k bounty) you then should award that money that was not awarded to participating players to them. Surely you can guaranteed $100k payout and then just pay $81,4k out, yes?

$18,600 which was not awarded should be paid out at some players who participated in the promotion. Your promo page clearly states that it is $95,000 guaranteed plus $5,000 bounty.

Surely you're not pocketing money you have guaranteed to players that participated to this promotion? Otherwise it would be a false promotional message.

And btw... while I guessed that your tournament is going to stop late registration when first player busts you really can't tag a tournament with 6 level latereg and except players to expect that latereg closes when someone busts. If you knew it, there should have never been a late registration even mentioned whatsoever in first place.

There are actually sites which have late registration continuing even if paid prizes are reached. I think also 888 has this kind of system in some of their satellites?

something like 60% of my volume is sattelites and i am well aware of how they work. the only way to pre-maturely end a sattelite on party is to get down to 1 remaining player if late reg is still open. even if 5 seats are gauranteed and there are 4 players playing. they need to continue to play until late reg ends or flip leaving 1 player remaining to end the tournament. Either way late reg always takes precedence.

'this guy' is a mid-hsmtt reg doing this for 9 years on party/ftp/stars/ongame. this is a straight up angleshot party is pulling.

-the ingame lobby did not say 6 levels or first player eliminated. nothing in t/c's about first player eliminated. They simply do not want to pay me and 38 other players our money and keep saying 'the tournament worked as planned'

This.

I do agree that if only one player gets eliminated and late reg is ended, it should NOT state that it is open for 6 levels.

However, other then that I don't think party is in the wrong here. I have personally witnessed late reg automatically ending 2 levels early for example when a player is busted ITM.

IceQueenAce is a prime example why women aren't taken seriously as poker players, too many of them just don't know what the **** they are talking about. Every post you make is negative. You had that whole debacle w/ facebook or w/e. Grow up.
