How did I get this money at Party?

[Wynton]

Believe it or not, I had no recollection of whether I had an account at Party, or ever deposited money there. So I checked (as I was considering opening an account). I found out I had an account and $100.01 sitting there. Then, when I checked the transaction history it showed the following credits (and nothing else):

date TransType Amount
4/23/04 Lucky Seat selection bonus $100.00
4/12/04 Purchase $.01

Did I really manage to deposit just one cent? And how did this get turned into $100 bonus? Can anyone tell me what happened?

They deposit the 1c so it establishes a real money account. They probably had to do that because you recieved a promotion of some sort.

Cash it out...

Sounds like some sort of instant bankroll promotion.

[Wynton]

It must have been some kind of instant bankroll promotion, but I just can't remember what exactly. I've never seen Party itself offer these things, so perhaps it was related to some other offer?

Whatever it was, I just cashed it out (or at least sent in a cashout request). I'm curious whether there will be any restrictions on cashing out.

Same thing happend to my friend from work. He had the instant bankroll thing going and went bust playing 1/2 with $100. Few months later he had $75 in his account. This guy doesn't even have neteller. I told him go to 3/6 with his loot. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

But the thing is I don't even remember playing at Party (as opposed to a skin) a single hand (though I can't rule it out either).

Do you know if your friend got his promotion directly from Party, or was it through some third-party?
