LOL

i'm defo not going back for that!

cash alternative for the package?

also nicely done dodging all the comments about world domination promo

It's palladium+ only again, I assume by the description 'VIP race'. It was last year.

It doesn't count as a 'main' promotion as it's irrelevant to the recreational player who won't be eligible, and even if they were, stand zero chance to compete with high volume grinders and rake enough to actually win something.

Please give us the snowball promo/play less win more/lucky card lottery (non-rigged afaik), then gladiator as usual in November

WTF? Waiting all this time for them to do something about the World Domination promo fiasco and they just move on to the next one as if nothing even happened?! I guess Party isn't for me.

LOLFAIL GFY PARTYVIP

So 7 people get a VIP package and 70 people get 100-250$ ?

At least with this promo you can tell its bad upfront and not like world domination promo witch looked good in the beginning.

Nice trainwreck you've got going here, Party.

definitely?

is it $200 max or can you get it in your own currency (£200 or whatever). i can't find details on it anywhere. would also like to know how long you get etc.

oh got it :

Please note:

The 200JULY reload bonus is available until 23:59 ET on 7th August 2011.
Bonus amounts will be released in 10 parts at a rate of 6 PartyPoints per dollar.



but yeah, how long do you get? ty

120 points to unlock 10 installments of $20, expires in 30 days

and it is $200 or currency equivalent. i got 139 euros or something

nvm

tyty

Just got this e-mail from Party:
"Wow, what just happened at PartyPoker.com? The cash games and tournaments are blowing up! Every day, more and more people choose to play poker here.

I can think of several reasons why. Yes, there’s PartyPoker.com’s awesome software."

Stopped reading right there.

Hahahahaha Partypoker is funny, you got to give them credit for that.

.

It's just frustrating that Party have the chance to be a solid #2 - even in the future compete for the #1 spot - outside the US and are consistently blowing it with terrible promotions and non-existent software updates.

There are no financial issues regarding the ease of depositing and withdrawing money, the software with a few major tweeks could be fantastic but nobody seems interested. The amount of money this mismanagement will potentially cost the company in the future is staggering.

This thread makes me more and more miserable.

Party: I want to give you my rake. I really do. But you're absolutely ****ing awful for the non-Palladium Elite player. This summer has kind of reinforced everything I've known for far too long. If you can survive on the rake of a couple of hundred grinders, then good luck to you. But I bet you can't.

Yeah the amount of problems with Party is lol.

Where is the live support feature?

Cox, are you able to get that bonus working for everyone?

1st gen. iPhone? Are they used?

Spent two frustrating days trying to get first withdrawal from Party to my Canadian bank account to go through (after withdrawal requested over a week ago was cancelled and I was never informed). Have no idea if new withdrawal will go through.


Opened up "live chat" window, said I was 4th in line and it would be about a minute. 2 hours later I was first in line and it said 0 seconds. 45 minutes later I got disconnected. ****ing idiots.

don't mind the queue number or the waiting time. they are just some random numbers party style

i am palladium and never have waited over 5mins for the live chat. are you palladium? if not the waiting time might be longer and you might get served better just emailing pay-pro (the company that handles party's cashier) or calling them

i've helped with a lot of friends with their new accounts on party and it seems the first cashout always takes few extra days. after that they are lightning fast (my moneybookers withdrawals have appeared within 3 hours for years now
