How often must I log in to keep my account open?

There is no requirement for you to play or to add funds to keep your account open. However, you must log in at least once every 180 days, otherwise your account will be deemed abandoned and closed and any account balance remaining will be forfeited.

If true that's appalling.

Not that many (any?) of us cling on to any hope that bwin.party cares about its customers and their loyalty, but the approach now seems to be open exploitation instead of plain neglect.

Straight up - robbery!

Is WPT Poker KOTH now? Can't see emtpy tables.

Happy I read this thread. I was going to deposit on Party but things look very shady there lately.

Sorry to hear what happened to WPT players.

Starting to wonder maybe it is wise for me to cash all my Party points now??

You think this guy is the only nervous Party poker player ?

When you do such drastic shady things overnight on one of your skins, a domino effect begins.

People
Leave.
... Quickly !!

Try to do the right thing for your WPT players
You might just earn some trust from current and future Party players.

Obviously charging people $2000 for an iphone just wasn't enough salt on the bread for Party.

Nice.

Is there anything better value than the cash bonus for Gold members with only 13% rakeback?

If u happen to be palladium which isn't the case for inactive players with so many points...

Hi all

Just a brief follow up regarding recent closure of WPT poker

The site has been updated with the following:

Dear Players,
bwin.party has made the decision to focus our online poker efforts entirely on our lead brands: partypoker and bwin poker. This has resulted in the decision to close our WPTPoker.com site.
Please be aware that we are unable to move any balance directly from a WPTPoker.com account to a partypoker.com account.
The poker room will cease to run from June 3rd however players will have a further 3 months to withdraw their cash balance. During this period we will remove withdrawal limits. The fee will not be waived.
We understand the frustration and apologize for the inconvenience.
We also appreciate the time that players gave to WPTPoker.com. Thank you.
Any further questions or concerns should be directed to the team at [email protected]

FAQs may be found here - http://www.wptpoker.com/closure.html

I am afraid I have no more info to offer and queries should be directed to the email address above.


Regarding the store prices - this is an issue directly related to the FX rates fluctuation and is not related to recent developments

Thanks

Colette

just lol @ wptclosure & storescam

but I can assure you: "your feedback will be taken seriously"

so ridiculous ... they worsen every single aspect at party poker and we still think they give a **** about us

never forget:
they where unable to bring back security tokens for month! (years?)
they where unable to solve the mtt announcment crash bug fr month!
they removed pala elite status
they tried to implement a playerpool segregation secretly!
they worsened rakeback several times and promised better promotions - and than nothing
they will close wpt within days(!) and increased store prices at the same time!

and many other things I just dont want to remember anymore ...


edit: @colette: your last post is outrageous. I know you are just the messanger but every single word in that "reaction" says :"we give a **** about our costumers"
noone is complaining about wpt has to close. its sad but it would be ok, if: everybody would have at least(!) 3 month to convert points, clear bonus etc. and if party.bwin would find some kind of solution for every player that wants to transfer his roll from wpt to party/bwin. How can you expect any player to pay 3% withdrawl fees for transfering(!) there money to another skin of the same company?! ... I'm lost for words

Gamebookers is next?

THIS

.... And you appreciate the "time" that players gave to WPT poker ???

How about giving the players more "time" than two weeks to make necessary adjustments to points, bonuses, and balances ???

3 months would be adequate

Don't lock us out from the tables !!

Colette, you play poker, yes ?
Surely you know 2 weeks is not an adequate amount of fair warning for players with 4,5 or 6 digit balances, in cash and/or points.

How can you not see how beneficial it would be to merely move our funds between sites ??

It can be done
Please don't insult us by saying it can't.

Please convey that to your superiors
Clearly their knowledge of poker, or knowledge of fairness, is far from superior.

It's criminal.

I lose 8K $ beacause WPT(65k points), however I managed to recover from it 3 Iphone 6 and a
playstation 4 I hope will come in 28 days( means about 2500$, very NICE of WPT).
I did not need phones and playstation, I need my money to buy what I want with them!
Something funny, what appear when I watch to WPT promotions:
"Promotions
We've always got something new for you to enjoy.

We're always coming up with exciting new promotions and events, so don't forget to check this page for our regular updates.

Currently there are no promotions scheduled.

The next promotion is on the way to you!

Can any uk people see the party uk facebook page?

Looks like I have been kicked and blocked from seeing it.

DISGUSTING!

Coleen, anything to be said about this?

Lessu... I have posted this on my main forum but thought I would ask for your thoughts here, seeing as you are a big player with contacts. Luckily I withdrew my few dollars remaining from party last night...

I am a bit furious as it stands. I will start from the beginning so as to not have anyone think I am being selective.

Party have a uk facebook page which I have been made a member of. I got into a bit of an argument with the party poker rep there, in public, when I said a mtt there were hosting wasn't 'free'. I never once insulted anyone even when both other members and the party rep started being both abusive and insulting.
I was banned.
On complaining to party, they said I hadn't been kicked from the (private) group. They also said they have nothing to do with it and couldn't act. They also said I should apply again and they would reinstate me.

Last night I made a post that said...

'Can anyone from party comment on the fact that WPT poker (owned by party/bwin) have stated they are closing in a few days and have put the prices up in the store to scam players?'

Or something very similar.

It was left pending for a while and not posted and now I have been banned from the group totally.

Hey IceQueenAce,

Seeing Colette is an admin of that group, maybe you could PM her here with your case?

As the group is closed and I'm not based in UK, I can't join and see what is going on in that group

I dont need anything from the store. I cant even see the iphone 6, is it available for Latin America?? Can I trade some points for not getting charged the 3% fee?? At least you could do us that favor...

The issues with WPT poker closure was posted on PFA lets hope it brings more publicity to this daylight robbery.

Good that this is getting exposure.

Am pretty fed up with the greedy/dubious sites being at war with the regs and grabbing all the profits while they can... online poker is dying a slow death because of these greedy-dubious-nitty-risk-averse-CEO-types, FFS.

i got 4 tickets for 200$ sunday major
i can use 2 of them in the next upcoming sundays but i will have still 2left

is there any way to convert them to money or to use them for another tournaments?

Hmm Lessu the plot thickens. I mailed party support with the same message as I posted here.

There reply was I have to contact someone else and they gave me the name and email address of someone from dusktodawn.

That means I am being conned even more, cause no-where does the group say it is a DTD group. It clearly says it is a party poker group for party players in the UK.

Well why don't you email them and see what happens?

Party is in some sort of deal with the DTD so maybe they run the Facebook group?
