Hey Colette

Gave a new try to Party after a long time. Sunday went good, shipped a nice prize and tried withdraw some of it and been waiting for 3 days already.

Is this normal after the fusion? In your T&C (like most poker sites) you state you can take up to 3 bussiness days but most sites (including Party in the past) have proceeded much faster. And you def should proceed faster as moving money fast is crucial for poker players.

Dear Colette -

Party Poker is losing insane amounts of money every day in tournaments due to massive overlays. This has been the case for several years. Cash game traffic has generated good rake and profits for the company, but you keep losing money in tournaments.

When will the company sort this out so that we can actually move forward, and offer better incentives to Cash game players which will then improve your revenues?

I don't understand how the company, who has all the solid data not see this??

Yes mindboggling. The latest register/rebuy in turbo's change to level 6 doesn't do anyone's bottom line any good either. Gtd are not reached on even more mtt because of this decision.

Got mail from HM about partycommunicator crashes.

Actually I dont care anymore. The traffic on the site is dead and you have done your best to kill it. I dont even want to have "a lot" of money on my party bank roll anymore, cause its clearly just a matter of time until something shady will take place. Clearing my bonus and then move. Thats it! WP party!

Just so you know that Party telling the gaming commission that the problem was on my end was quite cute. However these mistakes have already got the best of this failing company.

Be well
Thanks for the feedback. I will pass this to the relevant management team for review.

Can you please contact CS regarding withdrawals. We do state to allow 3 working days but this is generally a guideline.

@Partyrep:
not directly poker but Party related...can you tell me what the probabilities are to hit one of the different casino slot jackpots (the Big One etc.)?! You don`t have any probability charts neither on your website nor in your client and I get so much free casino cash every week that I`m curious how low/"high" the chances are too hit one.

It would seem to me that tournaments are the game of the future, not cash games. If Party is trying to attract new customers, they are probably hoping to do it with their tournament offferings, and they would be right. I personally know a few recreational players that will never play cash games on line; they only play tourneys.

It has already been well established that Party, and other sites, are moving away from catering to the pros and trying to keep the recs happy. After all, this is where the new money comes from. It is very self-serving for you to try to get Party to forget about tournaments and concentrate on the cash games.

Colette, don't listen to him. His is just one man's opinion and he is only thinking of himself. We need more tournaments, not less!

Be well
my account was reopened yesterday, finally after months of calling them and emailing them and sending them ID

now I try to login today and there is an error with my account and I have to call support. now I need to send my ID again, which I have been doing every day for the last 3 months.

There is no communication on this website and the support is so terrible and slow.

Support didn't even send an email saying why my account was blocked.

Hi,

A very casino specific question, and I am afraid I am unable to help.

Hello Colette

I've been contacting support every day. They reply with generic answers, they say it will be soon processed and approved but this is the fourth bussiness day and nothing has happened. Quite pissed off and this is the longest wait for an online cashout I have ever had.

Why don't you argue facts rather than just call somebody self-serving. I've been watching Party Poker tournaments. There are several tournaments that constantly have large overlays. Every time that happens, it eats from the site's bottomline.

Cash games on the other hand, there is no such thing as an overlay. Every dollar raked goes straight into the company's bottomline. They give some back in the form of rakeback, which is no different from tournaments.

Whether you want to believe it or not, I have the site's interests at heart. You on the other hand are clearly self-serving. I've looked at your other posts, and you've stated clearly that you are a tournament player. Of course you stand to benefit from massive overlays. They are free money.

Anybody who plays poker on multiple sites knows that Party has no chance to compete in the tournament field against Stars, and even some other sites. Another user stated earlier, 200$ gets you into 200K gtd on Party, 200$ gets you into 9million gtd on stars. 1million gtd on any other day. If you are arguing from the recreational player's standpoint, do you really think the 200k gtd is the attractive option here?
And the 200k gtd struggles to meet it's guarantee every week. Some weeks they meet, others they don't. You never see it massively above though. And with the new format, many users here have stated they won't play and will likely further increase overlays.

All good, I'm sure if Party actually looked into this they will see that there is factual evidence that supports what I am saying, while you are just a self-serving troll.

*last note the 500k gtd a few weeks back had 120kish in overlay.
Pokerfest overlays: http://pokerfuse.com/news/live-and-o...-series-17-03/

And those are the big guys. How about say the 25K gtd 50$ rebuy. It had over 10k in overlay just yesterday. How many cash games/sitngoes/non-overlay MTTs have to run to make up for this lost revenue?

You can say whatever you want but you are only thinking of yourself. ALL of the rec. players I know would never dream of playing cash online, they are too afraid, but they don't mind playing tournaments because they can only lose their buy in. The fact is that most rec. players are tournament players. They need to fix their software and sort things out so that more people will play tournaments and there will be no overlay.

There's no need to call me a troll. I am not a troll. It just makes you look immature.

Point towards the part where I am only thinking of myself. I told you to argue facts. You have presented none.

Right, your facts are that all the rec players you know. Well guess what I play cash games all the time, and I see PLENTY of rec players.

One of the main reasons why tournaments overlay so much is the software and its bugs. If you can't latereg to tournaments because client is either lagging or complaining "problem, please try again" it's hard to tell that reason would be that people don't play it. I didn't play in 2 tournaments just today simply because that reason. And of course there's lots of other bugs and overly heavy software.

And I don't like playing PokerStars. Not a single player currently who wants to make $$$ from Noi-Limit Texas tournament games should play in there nowadays. Bad (far too slow) tournament structures, ridiculously large and rather tough fields and very stupid prize structure (top6 gets is all) makes that a real hell to play.

And right now there's 0 promotions for tournament players. Nice job Party, are we going to get some new promos now that Scratchcard and Poker Legends are gone? I actually really like playing your
