I found out why I can't opt-in. "This promotion is only for VIP players" and I'm Bronze at the moment. Then why the hell are you teasing me by showing ads for it when I log in? The pre-game tilt is strong with Party as usual.

my points dont accumulate again today. Pretty crazy they can't get there stuff ever right over there.

Just have a simple, efficient product party, and people will be happy. Software that works

Is Partypoker removing the Palladium Elite Status!?

According to the german page there will no longer be a palladium elite status from april on and rakeback will be 30% max.!

http://de.partypoker.com/vip-rewards/vip.html
"HINWEIS: Das erste Quartal in 2013 (d.h. 1. Januar 2013 bis zum 31. März 2013) wird das letzte Quartal sein, in dem Spieler "Palladium Elite"-Status erreichen können. Für die Dauer des ersten Quartals, können Palladium Elite-Spieler und solche, die diesen Status erreichen, Palladium Elite-Shopbonusse erwerben. Ab dem 1. April 2013, ist "Palladium" die maximale VIP-Stufe, die ein Spieler erreichen kann. Das bedeutet, dass Spieler nicht mehr in der Lage sind, den 20.000 $ Pokerbonus, den 50.000 $ Geldbonus und den 75.000 $ Pokerbonus zu erwerben. Die 3.500 $ in bar und 15.000 $ in bar (30% Rakeback-Äquivalent) stehen weiterhin zur Verfügung. "

As its already on the site you can be sure this will be 100% happening.

so sick lol.

stars management must be laughing their asses off, how PP is just killing itself

It's really not that shocking. Very very very few people are buying 20k/75k bonuses, it's only really those who it effects, and of course those guys are generally big winning players. A lot of msnl players are getting the 7k bonus nowadays, so they will lose 5%, but i think most people still just get the 3k one which means the rb stays the same.

It's definitely not 'so sick' nor will it effect sustainability. A more achievable top vip level might actually attract a few more less able poker players or fish.

omggggggggg noooooooooooo. been saving for a year for the top one and would prob have got in 6-9months. guess ill have to cash out 2 x 100k ones quick b4 april.
can anyone give me a link to the same paragraph in english please. (and i dnt mean just translate i wnna b 100% clear what they are doing )

Yeah this is definitely going to happen

Hi,

As you have already heard we have taken the decision to remove the Palladium Elite status from our loyalty scheme and remove all bonuses that pay greater than 30% effective rakeback. We believe the change will allow us to manage our poker room more effectively and ultimately allow for fairer distribution of bonuses across the network - this change will be implemented on as of the start of April 2013 onwards NOTE: players that are Palladium Elite will be able purchase Palladium Elite bonuses for the duration of quarter one (January 1st 2013 – March 31st 2013). Players will also be able to achieve the status in quarter one and purchase Palladium Elite bonuses. If you have any questions regarding the change or your account please contact customer support.

Thanks

Party Poker

Why less than 3 Months left to the change? Palladium Elite Bonus are a long term target for many players and not one for 2-3 months! Please consider this and change the time of implementation!

Once again partypoker is slaping their customers in the face

got a link....?

would have been nice to have been given more warning , im a border line elite player and only got about 36k last qtr. if i had known i would have to cashout my (close to 200k) points i obviously would have made sure i was elite.

i will write support when i get a chance but this is quicker when im 9 tabling, also find it incredibly annoying to find this out on here and not been emailed . ive been paladium or elite for ?years now

just to be clear , fair enough ure cutting back but this is joke not giving more warning.

always defended this site to my mates who dnt touch it, mainly cos ure not forced to play x amount per month like stars and can let the points rack up and cash out at will. guess they were right not me

Thanks for informing us that early.
So enough time to clear 1 100K and 2 40K Bonuses and start SNE on Stars then.
Im so much done with your site.

Please give us at least 6 Months before the change.

Ridiculous imo

Will there be gladiator in 2013?

If there will please tell us cuz if there isnt gladiator i'm totally quitting partypoker

WTF is wrong with u, u could've taken a good % of the industry and ur only taking out regs, first the pokerstrategy thing, now this, really tell us what else so that we can move to another site, will there be gladiator on march 2013? if so advice with time please!

oh, and by the way, i don't seem to be able to login at the moment.

Same problem everywhere, makes Vip Countdown so much harder...

and I cant even log in now... sick software it's amazing how can you guys make a single $ on this industry

yeh i could handle that if i had known this b4 end dec so i did an xtra 6k pts to get elite.

surely a "fairer" way would have been to tell us now, allow the status as normal for the qtr, then let us buy bonuses on the old system up until june 2013 ??? !!!

I'm new to party coming from bwin. Are their bonus structures now identical? Sry in advance, I know nothing about party.

cant login ? the login screen is just white ?

had 300 points and they were reset ? wtf ,

I don't mind if they get rid of elite and distribute that money to other levels/promotions, but obviously that's not gonna happen.

Party is a bigger joke than ever, how can you not email your players to inform about this ?! and in good time? Had not have a clue if i didnt read this thread, and even here it was a member in the forum that break that news.

Why do i have to wait +9 days for getting my PP from last vipboost ? Why cant you fix easiest thing that doesnt work in the softwere?

Start to understand that you only want losing players on your site, and im so done with Party when ive cashed in my last PP.

Ok, so how will we benefit from this ?

Now I get ~30%RB.

What does the fairer distribution means in numbers?

For example will a low volume player get ~15% RB instead of his 8% ?

ha, just been pub for 2hours. points were 50ish out before i left and havent even caught up.

they arent adding on now im playing either ........whats next ?
