I have found other accounts I play against (that are grinders) who are 70+. Thanks for letting me know many people are not playing on an accounts which are in their own name/DOB.

I'm sure you have done your legal research and revealing such information is within your rights, but why the **** you would want to put it out there? Showing my age and gender on my otherwise completely anonymous Party account without my permission is just shocking. It was only thanks to Juk that I went private right away.

Also being able to search by email? Is this so I can check an email address has an account on Party before hacking it? So I can trawl though my friends email addresses and see who is a secret degen?

You've lost it.
+1, wtf. remove all this info promptly please, complete invasion of privacy with no positive sides.

I'm not that impressed with the new software. The new table images in my opinion suck.
I like the old grey and black table image way more then the new ones. And whats the point in having achievement anyway? I'm not playing Grand Theft Auto five, this is not a video game this is poker. The only achievement I care about is building my bankroll and winning money. Unless I get paid for reaching achievements I really don't give a fock. I think PartyPoker has lost touch with their client base along time ago and it keeps on getting worse and worse. Terrible rake, withdraw fees. I just don't know what to think anymore.

It hides everything - only you can see your age, if you click on the eye in the top right of the black banner in which your name appears you can click on the option to see how other players view your profile.

Customising - You can go as far as to click the radio buttons to show everything BUT your age if you wish

lol. partypoker, the joke that never ends. i think they are the worst run site in the market (including lock, who at least had actual hurdles to try to overcome).

- the new software, which took this long to come out is just a new skin of the same old platform. you release the software packed with bugs, and this isn't even news! every update from party includes days of bugs that need to be fixed.
- you segregate player-pools and effectively steal 3% of our rolls without any notification. either of these things isn't incredibly bad if you give some kind of warning about it, but in both were done downright shadily and hidden from players.
- you do not close down any sort of collusion/cheating rings until players bring it to you (there is literally NO game security on this site) and when you do close down the accounts and confiscate the funds you do not ever return ANY money to the players who were robbed which gives you financial incentive to actually look the other way while players cheat so you can let them build big enough rolls to take for yourselves. and i do not doubt very much that you actually are happy to see cheating happening. (party rep: if this sounds at all like i am wrong, please, please, please explain how).

every single person making decisions at this company is incredibly incompetent at the least if not incredibly scummy. i feel as sorry for the employees of this company as i do for the players.

We’ll match your first deposit up to $50. So if you deposit $50 we’ll give you an extra $50 which will be paid into your account in chunks as you play.

This is juicy as ****. Can imagine hordes of recreational players signing in the days to come. Even Im tempted to start multiaccounting now at party network. LOL. So glad Im gone from pp as well as bwin for months now.

Anyway congrats on your new job, Jeffrey. It surely requires big balls/many dead brain cells/huge financial incentives (retrieved by your employer in the process of ecologizing its poker environment) to move from Rational group to bwin.party in the 2nd half of 2013. Please at least do one thing right before your whole poker department gets dissolved - reevaluate yours representative's presence here and fire Party Rep asap. RIP scammers!

Party Poker writing down the value of Party Points from 20c to 15c was outright theft. Party Poker steals. It is one thing to start paying fewer points and notifying your customers in advance. It is a completely different thing to just say overnight that points are worth less. This is nothing less than theft.

I have 25k points and want to leave this site ASAP. I am currently gold. I'm looking for what to do with the points. Foolishly I was saving them until they slashed the value and everything from the store. It seems there are no instant $ options now. And I can't even see tournament tickets, can someone confirm they are gone.

All of the electronics seem hideously overpriced. I haven't looked at everything through, is there anything good value so I can get a load and sell on ebay.

Finally it looks like I could be stuck with grinding out the $450 bonuses before I can cash out everything...

EDIT - And I can't even use them to play bingo anymore?

I would have expected this to be rake-free while we beta test their new software for them

Lol, downloaded the update this morning, signed up for a $22 tourney. The tournament starts and I can't load my table and no players are shown in the lobby. Reboot the software, the table still won't load. I contact support, they tell me that everyone else had no problems playing and they'd have to refer to their tech department.

I've raked $4k in tourney buy ins, and have received no rakeback yet. I think they can take my word that I'm not trying to screw them out of $22. Congratulations Party, for 22 ****ing dollars you turned a guy who plays a good amount of tourneys on your site into one who is telling everyone not to play there. Nice business decision ******s.

I know you don't need it but as evidence other players had problems in a $22 trny. I was one of them. One of my many trnys I had problems with and will probably never see compensation for.

It might be that they made the software so bad on pourpose. I mean it is buggy that almost no one noticed that the clearance rates for bonuses increaseh heavily.

e.g. now for 1k bonus you need to rake 5k first and then rake 3k to clear it. So overall 8k rake for 1k bonus...and in case you ever want to leave Party your only option is to buy the heavily overpriced stuff in their shop (which I guess is equivalent of max 10% rakeback).

I can't recall what was the clearance rate for other bonuses cause the 1k was my go to but maybe other could check it so we would have more complex info.

So I guess it is the same shaddy company as always

I logged in last night ! Whooo! That already puts me ahead of 80% of y'all.
I registered for two tournaments.
When they started, I WASN'T IN THEM.
I've withdrawn my bankroll. So long, Party Poker. I don't expect to be back.

Had the same probelm. It is because you had cusom cards (or still have). Uninstall software then remove the directory and reinstall it again should work.

Other soution find someone who has the new not modded software and copy/paste from him Cards.png file. Should work too.
