The loyalty system hasn't updated yet. Your status will presumably change when it does.

As a MTT player I would suggest some promotions, which would offer tickets to some certain tournaments that would change weekly and promote other games than Texas NL, too. Let's say like this:

Week 1: Ticket for Sunday 20$ 5k$ PLO8 R/A for 100 points
Week 2: Ticket for Sunday 100$ 20k$ turbo freezeout for 500 points
Week 3: Ticket for Sunday 5$ 5k$ Bounty for 25 points
Week 4: Ticket for Sunday 20$ 5k$ PLO R/A for 100 points
Week 5: Ticket for Saturday 50$ 2k$ PLO8 for 250 points
etc.

This would also be a great way to introduce new tournaments and special events to players. Also cheap way to advertise you VIP Shop and highlight some tournaments.

Second thing I would like to add, is that please restore some PLO8 tournaments with decent guaranteeds for weekdays. Like some tournaments for European Evenings like turbo PLO8 with 11$ / 22$ buy-in with ~50x buy-in guaranteed and some hyper freezeouts with 11$-33$ and R/A with 2$-10$ buy-in would be great! They're really fun (though really prefer No Limit) and get lots of players in Stars.

+1 to 1k bonus should be lower than 9k, pointless redundant offer. Can just buy 5 x 200 bonus and same thing.

Disagree with 5k cash reward for 25k points. How can the new highest cash offer be better rake back than the current bonus, which needs to be unlocked? Doesn't make sense, and it's simply not going to happen.

Realistically maybe same rakeback as now, aka 5k cash for 40k points, maybe maybe could happen.

It is very reasonable to ask for 35% rakeback. All the current bonuses will be removed. All of them. 5K cash for 40K points is only 25% rakeback, less than the current highest tier(30%). That would reduce the rakeback for all palladium players by 5%. This was supposed to be an improvement in the store, offering a slightly higher cap of 35% is reasonable and not even generous. It should almost be expected with all the hype they gave us about the changes.

New changes was introduced as "higher value" so there should be atleast 30%RB option for Palladinum. Puttin 1k$ bonus for 9k PP and 1800 for 200$ in the same store would be none-sense. Hope Collete can bring some news today before changes are made becouse it would be reasonable to buy bonus before the changes, as its higher RB....

Lol at all you guys thinking the new rewards system is going to be better than the current one.

It's obviously going to be worse.

Ya, its wishful thinking only

Yup it has, nice! Now only to see what the store has in store...

Well I've been buying the $1k bonuses. Now I get straight cash for less points. How is that worse? Doubt you were going for the $5000 bonus, Spiv?

Even at the 40kPP/$5000 bonuses level I might take 22% cash compared to 25% bonus. The biggest rakers are getting screwed though, I agree.

When I played on Party it was 20k points for a 3k bonus. The last time they had "surprise change to loyalty program" they removed that bonus. I'm on Bwin now.

Since bwin.party nose dived they've introduced a new loyalty scheme and rev shares are available again. Desperation?

Colette,
one more question about seating scripts.

Is this program permitted to use on Party?

You removed the list of players from the lobby, but such programs does not need a list.
Tell me, please, can we use it or not. If not, maybe you forbid it officially (as FreePHG was banned at one time).

Goodluck, party refuses to even state that scripts are not allowed... These scripts are so gross and the money they've taken from the games and reputation theyve destroyed with rec players is huge, but they didnt want to discourage players from having them and now all of uk seems to have them along with others

I say BAN.

I understand it's almost impossible to ban scripts but this is a commercial product. If party states the product is banned they will have to state that on their site or even make it unusable on party.

I don't think party really understands the difference between scripts like that and traditional table scanners. I think thats why they have never publicly discouraged them. I don't think a lot of people except people that start tables at midstakes really know how the scripts are.

A traditional table scanner has to individually scan each table in the lobby, and if a table is good it manually opens the table and then you need to manually sit at the table and buy in. All this takes between 8-30 seconds depending on how lucky you were. I think that is a natural feel and normal. I don't think recreational players would feel weird about that because thats how it always was even back in the day or even with sng type fill up.

Now scripts, they keep all the tables open and watch them and instantly sit when rec sits. We are talking about under a second, like .1 of a second. Now that's crazy. I often wanted to use camtasia or something when i'm starting tables to video this but I dont have camtasia on my computer. But often times the scripters get false triggers and you'll be sitting at a table to start it and instantly 4 of them snap sit and then they realize and leave. Or when a rec sits down, to see how instantly they join is only something video could show. If there is anyone less lazy then me that has camtasia on there computer I think a short video of this action would be a great demonstration. I might try to do it next week if no one else has when I'm back playing.

In case somebody haven't seen that:

Even if you have, its always good lulz

I didn't understand what it actually was until reading your post here. tks.
Sounds terrible.

But did you earn 2,000 points in February?

And my status updated now

Question for you guys/gals,

What's the score on announcing hole cards during an online tournament? In this instance, on the bubble, a player in the big blind announces via chat that they are holding A10 and intend to shove all-in. The action is on middle-position at this stage. So, in conclusion, they 'reveal' their hole cards (accurate or otherwise) out of turn, and announce their intention out of turn. Could this not be classified as a form of online string betting/collusion (I'm aware you require two participants to deem it 'collusion', haha, but you could argue it's implicit). Having read around, such a tactic would appear to be against the rules on PokerStars, but I've just been informed by a PartyPoker customer service member that such a tactic is fine on account of the fact that it's not "offensive or disrespectful". Some clarity would be nice Thanks in advance.

Push all in, he'll fold. He's trying to benefit himself by getting everyone to fold, I don't see how that could be considered collusion.
