This will come alongside planned software improvements over the next few months
I have no timeline to share however I have seen work in progress and I think everyone will like the improvements



This is incorrect - we done all we possibly could to inform all players of planned changes

We announced the planned changes to the loyalty store and the removal of the current points and the system with 60 days notice via email, social media, poker media, forums etc

We then ran a store sale for 30 days - we again sent emails, had banners in the lobby, added a promo page both on the website and the lobby, shouted all over social media and various poker forums

If players do not read our emails I am afraid that is the players responsibility

We were (IMO) as transparent as possible via all available media with plenty of notice due to our promised obligations to keep our players informed and in the loop

Any plans on extending the timebank for fastforward? What about running the system Stars use, where you get 10 sec added for every x minutes? We should at least be able to get 30 sec timebank as the clients actions/dealing is really fast.

Well, my bad then. Yet, you find people who didn't know. Don't you think that an automatic point-per-money exchange at the end of the expiration period would have been better for these cases (for everyone really), on top of everything else?

There is something I wanted to ask the party poker rep for clarification on something I found within the T&Cs. It is note 3 on this section on Unfair Advantage Policy.

https://www.partypoker.com/terms-and...ge-policy.html

It states:

3. Rating Manipulation: Players intentionally losing games on low stakes tables to keep their rank at a lower level than it would otherwise be.

What is a players "Rank", how is it deduced, and why would having a lower rank be an Unfair Advantage?

When segregation was active players used to be able to lose at lower stakes to gain access to the fish pool at higher stakes, sounds like it might be left over from that?

segregation!! hahaha on a poker site.. wtf

Are you guys seeing bots on 6max fastforward? I think I spotted one on micro stakes

there are bots everywhere, as much as a poker site says they are stopping them, anonymous hand histories will just make bots harder to detect thus making it more lucrative for bots to play.. they make the site a ton of money so why would they want rid of them..

Lessu... I am not complaining about the rakeback system that they have change, come on...

How many $$ did Party Poker just stole/pocket from this, and from previous time they made changes to there rakeback system??

explain how so first maybe then we can talk. because idk if serious or trolling but srsly they gave over 2 months to cash in your points and now they have upped their loyalty program and reduced rake. and yet your complaining? k fine then go play on stars where you get chests as your RB and where they literally dont care about you for a second. enjoy that. god damn get your head out of your you know what buddy

Has anyone worked out how many hands approx it would take to reach the 40% each month?

Depends on the stake obv. $1 paid in rake is 1 point

im sure recs and people that havent played for a while read this thread in the past 2 months.

So you guys are saying it was fair from party removing past points from all account? Because they gave a 2 months notice? bleh.

+1

I am happy to have to (humbly) admit that the new Reward System is (extremely) positively surprising Way to go Party A couple of things though :

- What Nash Equilibria said about the recreational players not benefitting from RB at the entry raking levels and...


and of course, cancel the anonymity at the cash tables to once and for all get rid of those non-legit huds.

13k hands at nl100 fast forward if you're loose enough.

Party Poker - Diamond VIP Club

This week we launched our exclusive VIP club, which is invite only.

I personally helped design the club and will be both a face for the club and a contact for players who are in the club or are considering to join us.

Why a new club?

I joined partypoker initially because management promised me that they would have the player’s best interests in mind and invest in the poker community and the Diamond Club will be an important part of this strategy.

Over recent years, I have unfortunately seen certain online sites punish regular players who start games and encourage predatory regulars to prey on amateur players and weaker players. The Diamond Club will reward regulars who start games and continue games and not reward these predatory regs who jump into a game for a small amount of time when they believe their win rate is sky high and sit out when the weaker player has gone broke.

I’ve seen a lot of people who don’t have a background in poker try and come up with ‘revolutionary’ ways to improve loyalty systems and not surprisingly, most of them have failed. Quite simply, those who want to support partypoker and make this their home for playing poker will be rewarded generously. Those who want to use partypoker to only prey on weaker players will not.

What are the benefits?

- Additional loyalty system bonus
- 24/7 support from the Diamond Club team
- 1on1 feedback and input regarding your specific game type and the vision of the whole of the site with Patrick Leonard

How to join?

Please email us @ DiamondClub@partypoker.com and let the team know you found out about the club here on twoplustwo

Any questions?

Feel free to ask here.

2 Questions for ya... I recall reading one of Party's blogs that it said Diamond Players might be in line for some extra benefits above and beyond the 50% rb... could you elaborate on this at all? Or give a hypothetical.

Also I would like to partake in some of the Live Events held at the Playground Club in Montreal as I've qualified for a few events there in the past through Stars and I really like the venue. The problem I'm facing with Party is that the satellites for these events aren't really to my (or many players on 2+2's liking from the feedback I'm reading). Who do I email to request some changes?

How will you reward table starters?

Yes, I believe there are bots playing FF and other games on Party and all other sites.

If you believe there is a bot in your game, feel free to PM Colette or myself here on 2+2 or email Party with the details. The info will get to the correct people.

When Party did the unannounced moneygrab change 2-3 years ago, I gave them a lot of **** for it because they deserved it.

I just can't understand why anyone would try to find things to complain about when your rakeback (almost) doubles?

Like Colette has now posted several times, they used their client, email, social media and forums to let players know and gave players 60 days' notice.

And if you still think the way Party handled the change was bad, maybe you could still concentrate on the positives that came with this change?

This new vip system is complete joke for rec micro stakes players. Example rake $24 in week that's about $96 in month and you don't get anything back (if i understood correct that points gets reseted every week). Basically rec micro stakes players are paying regulars rakeback. Nice job Party.

Add more payouts to lower end, example rake $5 get $1 and so on.

There is no point to play micro stakes as rec player anymore in Party, even Pokerstars upcoming reward system is better and Unibet is superior compared to party model.

Do you think you can find a third thread to post this? The new system is probably better for 90% of the pool.

Still looking for third thread...

90%? There are lot of tournaments players who doesn't have $250 in week to spend in buy-ins.

Yes and that is the 10% that might suffer from this.

E Even though I agree that the best system would be to collect the points untill you reach the 25pts but that's the way the cookie crumbles now. Party is a business afterall and probably calculated it out that making the 25$ in rake minimum might push some players to rake a few bucks more.
