Bit of a heads up.

Prepare for a (broken?) software update, as of October 1st, auto rebuys, and auto addons for tourneys, will be illegal in the UK (at least) on Party/Bwin software.

So after 3 years of requesting software for auto addons but party refusing to program an audible alert for addons they now have to adjust their software again.

( rebuys and addons might be made legal in the future though )

I don't that's certain to happen. It's just dependant on how the companies interpret the law. The UK clients for iPoker on Titan+Winner have auto-rebuy in them.

From their web site:

That means that the remaining payouts – the “Hits” – pay out more cash than in comparative tournaments. So you can win more but you have to avoid the additional payout pitfalls to do so."

There's a $10 Hit or Miss at 14:00 EDT. I'm gonna give it a shot for something different.

I think it is pretty clear here:

Quote:
RTS requirement 14A
Gambling products must not actively encourage customers to chase their losses, increase their stake or increase the amount they have decided to gamble, or continue to gamble after they have indicated that they wish to stop.
RTS implementation guidance 14A
a. By actively encourage, we mean the inclusion of specific features, functions or information that could reasonably be expected to encourage a greater likelihood of the behaviours described occurring. For example:
i. the amount of funds taken into a product should not be topped up without the customer choosing to do so on each occasion, e.g. when a customer buys-in at a poker table they should have to choose to purchase more chips to play at the table - automatic re-buys should not be provided
Pokerstars have confirmed they are removing it from the 1st.

kudos to Richas

Party, party, party,
why on earth is there a pokerfest event schedule for 3 days away when the series doesn't start for a month?
Party staff can't even work out how calendars work?

I min-cashed, came in 13th and won $160. They only paid 13 places because there were 96 entrants. Still, $160 isn't a bad min-cash for a $10 investment.

Did you play?

With the luck-based Hit or Miss tournaments, even if you are ITM, you can still end up with the booby prize of only a freeroll tournament?

Any even number itm spot gets a ticket to a really bad free roll. Even 2nd place!

If there's 3 left it's not the worst idea to start getting super aggro so you claim 3rd prize or cement 1st.

Yeah, I guess some interesting leverage can be down... It redefines all together the meaning of ICM

Had a problem with the auto rebuy in cashgames money disappearing from the account. Watch out and make sure your cashier balance matches up with your HEM/PTR database because I've wasted almost half an hour twice in the live chat to support to get them to fix it. Just another thing in the long list of problems I have had with party. Might be time to call it a day

Another piss take in the software.

When you click to register for a tournament you already have a ticket/tickets for, the cash buyin button is highlighted, not the use ticket button.
Far too easy to click the yellow cash button when you are late registering.

Frustrating as hell to have a dozen $100 tickets and use cash, as, before the dumb programmers updated the software for the droolers that partypoker think we all are, your whole account details were laid out for you, i.e. cash and $TD total and total number of tickets available to use for that particular tournament, now it's just 2 buttons, with the wrong one highlighted.

There is still no way to find out how many $100 tickets you have other than emailing them 2 or 3 times.
Tournament ticket totals in the client is less than useless.
