Massive lolz @ anyone suggesting Party are ahead of 888.

Party has been one endless string of disappointments. I played a lot there when I first started playing but after withdrawing £300 and losing £20 of it in charges I vowed never to deposit there again.

-Poor deposit bonus

-currency conversion fees/charges when I deposit in GBP and they are Gibraltor based (they convert everything to $$$ and then back again)

-The so called "missions and achievements" have never worked for me depite numerous assurances that they do or that they will look into it for me.

-software bugs and crashes

-180 second timebanks in hyper turbo tournys leading to massive stalling (3 minute levels sometimes means 1 hand in 3 levels) I mean seriously WTF!?!

-Customer service basically non-existant. 3-5 days response time to emails. What do you have, 1 part time staff member?

-I have £20 left in my account and find out this morning that you are no longer operating in my jurisdiction (Isle of Man) without any notice or announcement. Not even an email to me to tell me.

Utter joke of a company. Spoke to an ex employee the other day who says you have lots of troubles.

As I can't play on stars/tilt I have played on 888/ipoker/party a lot and have to say you are by far the worst.

I have 80k wpt points. I played less lately so my status was reduced and now I can't even buy the $1k or $5k bonus. Are you saying that if I don't cash in those points by June 3 then I lose them? Feels like I'm getting scammed here, I have over $10k worth of points and no way to cash them out in time.

I agree mostly about the points I deleted from your post but wanted to comment on these.

Currency conversion: You can have your Party account in GBP which means you won't get hit by any exchange fees.

VIP support and Colette here on 2+2 are good. I don't know about non-VIP support and how fast/slow they are on average.

What's the story behind Isle of Man? Sounds weird like not accepting new Finnish players...

If you have HM2 and haven't updated it for a while, that could be one solution. I'm assuming you've tried the ones mentioned in this thread in the last few months as you used the word "still" ?
Well I deleted the communicator file when this problem started and had no more crashes after that. But now, because the bug has been "officially fixed" in the last big update, I kept the file after the latest HM2 update.

No surprise though.

I got the file in my HM2 folder as well and haven't had any crashes. Though I use the program that I can't name here anymore.

you do realise how ridiculously unfair this is on high volume grinders that have amassed a large number of wpt points, right? i mean, it's basically daylight robbery.

i assume there will there be some sort of points to cash conversion, points from wpt to party conversion or some form of compensation going on for those affected?

Why would you assume that, given Party's past record with unannounced devaluations of its own "loyalty" points?

I mad too but 80k points is crazy.

WPT needs to offer Money for Points or something like that.

I dont wanna get a fkn Sunglass for 400$ worth in Points.

Its just another joke how you handle customers.

This

You must allow one time points AND bankroll transfer options from WPT to Party accounts.

Yes it's never been done before, but WPT poker has never spontaneously CLOSED before.

OR remove insane withdrawal fees, uncap withdrawal limits, uncap IATs, and remove play through restrictions for IAT recipients so they can cash out.

You wanna close ... Fine
You want us to ever play at Party, you better make some serious accommodations, or you'll lose us forever.

And after we withdraw, what on Gods green earth makes you think we'll come back ?
You need to offer a seamless "linkage" to transfer the funds
Period.

Or give players the money in Cash instead of a dummy Bonus, the players gonna play on PartyPoker again if you do so, so they will create the rake again.
Whats going on is just not acceptable, at least what i heard some players considering to quit Party when this is not handled fair.

At least let exchange wpt points for T$!!

Also any poker or casino points to cash conversion has disappeared from the store, what a surprise.

At least make points -> tournament dollars available.

Hi,

Will current $200k tickets work for the $150k tournament, in case people can't play the last $200k this coming Sunday?

Colette I'm a WPT player.

Surely it's fair to waiver the 3% withdrawal fee for skrill and neteller for wpt accounts? I'll be depositing onto party poker so I'm basically paying 3% just to move money on your network.

I'm sure most will be moving money across to party like I plan to.

They should just move the money for us

Do they seriously expect people to pay fees, whatever method they chose, TWICE ??

a sure way to lose most of your wpt players forever is to not make this inter skin transfer a possibility ...

And wtf is with the casino cash option disappearing ?????
Now you need to transfer our points as well !!!
[PartyPoker] Ex-Official thread Quote

Move it or waiver the 3% fee. Either would be acceptable

Being told though that we have to pay the fee as they are making a business decision to close the site is unacceptable.

Another beautiful new development ...

"IMPORTATNT INFORMATION wptpoker.com is closing on June 4th. Please make sure that you withdraw all your funds before then. "

That's not 3 months Colette !

Move my wpt balance to Party
Nothing less is acceptable.

Edit/MH: By PM: "It was the pop up message when opening the client.
It remained there until June 4th,
now the message reads September 4th, which is a whole lot different."

Even some kind of bonus or tournament tickets (based on wpt points) in party poker would be acceptable.

This is outrageous, who the f*** regulates these guys??
