Party rep, this needs to be commented on as a matter of urgency surely, if Party's reputation is not to plummet to even further depths.

wouldn't it be easier to prove segragation if you had pics from another account that cannot see these tables? i don't know what you are trying to prove with these pics

bwin can obviously have bwin-only tables. nothing wrong with that imo

Well i think the fact iambiwinnning has never been tracked with ptr except 4 hands at micros and louisxxx hasnt been tracked for a long time, shows that not even are these tables not visible to everyone but they are being exploited once again by players that will only play on them.

Next question, how did you manage to see these tables lietome? And is it possible that ptr tracks party but not bwin? Seems strange

Yes, it is possible that some tables are bwin only. If so, the motive is probably to limit access to the fish. However, as you mention, the system is clearly still exploited. I haven't logged in at bwin for a while, but louisxxx was playing quite often even a couple of months ago. Obviously only at the tables not visible on PTR = segregated in some way. My bwin acc was created 9 mts or so ago, winning account.

Pretty sure there are some bwin exclusive tables, although that wouldn't account for players not being tracked on ptr at all as both put in pretty heavy volume.

Is bwin tracked by ptr? If not then it would be normal for players who only play bwin exclusive tables to not be tracked. The only question would be are those tables really seen by everyone at bwin and no one at party. If so they're bwin exclusive, if not then it's segregation.

How much worse can their reputation plummet? They've been caught already, you'd be surprised if they were caught again? You figured they just turned over a new leaf and wouldn't do anything unethical evaa again? They got away with it the first time right. I mean look how many people are still playing here. You guys kept them in business, beta tested their new software for free and played a majour role in a smooth transition the the NJ market. That sure showed them!

it's over, right?

on monday:

"What? It's a bonus !?!?!?"

"What? I CAN ONLY CLEAR IT AT FAST FORWARD TABLES ???"



Are you sure this is right?

I know the promo talks about fastforward but the T & C doesn't say you have to clear it at fastforward tables as far as I see. It says "The bonus can only be redeemed on cash game tables"

Once you accumulate 4 x 150 point days, you have to log on to claim the bonus (24 hour window which is sneaky) and then the bonus is released after you wager $1200 (for the $300 bonus) within 7 days.

Points Hunt

To clarify the bonus requirements for the Points Hunt promo, they can only be cleared on fastforward tables. The wagering restrictions are 4 times the bonus amount.

could be explained by PTR only tracking Party, not Bwin

Might make sense, but again, question lies in why someone like louisxxx has not been tracked in over a year? So he only plays bwin specific tables? Sounds like something wrong there when a player ONLY plays specific tables ever!!! Like seriously? So either its segregated and being exploited, or its bwin specific and again being exploited, which makes me wonder why they would even allow bwin specific.

as long as every account on bwin can see those tables, i can't see a problem here. i can't see any proof of that not being the case

and other networks have some skin only tables as well. maybe some recs want to play on those only. it's not like party who was forcing people to play on those segragated tables when they changed the default lobby to the system where you only choose your stake and the software puts you on a (segragated) table

as the player who posted the pic could see the table, i can't see it being the case with bwin

The fact that the promo does not state anywhere that the bonus must be cleared at FW tables, but Party_rep says so is really astonishing.

Is it really that hard to put it on the promo to avoid all of this?

I reported that invisible opponent in my #14121 post. Which was how do I say it ? Annoying to say the least. But this WTF
When it happens at the second it becomes my turn my hand is auto folded.

Sometimes it keeps auto folding everything afterwards until I close table and reopen it with take seat button in mtt lobby.

No it is not on my end of the connection.

On top of all the other [censored] it's becoming almost ridiculous to play on the network at this moment in time.

But I would be throwing away free $ when i wouldn't.

Please try fix this.

Yeah sometimes in SNGs a table will refuse to let you sit back in after being disconnected and keep sitting you out every time you try to rejoin - the only solution I know of is to close and re-open the effected table(s).
