Looks like Party Reloads are out...

[Aytumious]

No point in playing at party any longer if this continues.

Does anybody else think this is asinine and represents another step toward Party's eventual decline?

Personally, I strongly dislike not knowing whether I'm getting a reload or not (I'm at work) and the suspense of knowing exactly what it'll be.

Not sure about the decline part, but I'm 100% with you on the 2nd part of that.

Has anyone who didn't get a pop-up get the "BONUSOCT" code to work?

From what I've heard, it doesn't work.

It looks like the effects of Party going public have taken root. Im really startin to like the Cryptos and Prima. I was excited about getting home and seeing if I got a bonus offer, but after reading this thread, Im almost dreading it. I wonder if these bonuses were based on peoples winrates. The more successful players given less appealing deals, while less successful players getting easier bonuses. Just a thought, I could see the business sense in them doing something like that.

Use the Bonus Code "BONUSOCT" when you make your next deposit before 12-OCT-05 23:59 EST and get 20% extra (Max $100) in your bonus account. Restrictions apply.

There's no way this can be true. Everyone on 2p2 wins like 6BB/100 at whatever limit they play.

Then I should definitely have gotten a bonus, since I only win 4BB/100 in the 2/4 BBJ.

I think it may be how often you play on the site and what stakes. They seem to attract people who play less with the % deposit, and people who played there semi-regularly with the stupid point system. Also, it looks like the higher-stakes players got worse bonuses. The silver member who got like 4.5k to clear $160, and I wonder what stakes the guy who got 7.5k to clear $185 plays.

I've been playing only on Party (Yes, I'm a moron) and I was offered 9235 points for $755 in cash.

I ran my PT numbers from last month thru PokerGrapher RB calculator and basically it works out to they are offering me about 24-25% RB if I exceed last month's number by about 10%.

That doesn't seem bad to me, considering Party has always been 100% reliable with instant Neteller cashouts on demand, and Neteller to my checking account is reliably 2 days or less.

Since it's important to me right now to keep my bankroll tiny and accessible, this looks like a reasonable alternative to tying up a bunch of cash at Eurobet (where I've heard cashouts can be a hassle) and the uncertainty of an affiliate for RB payout.

And then there's the whole BBJ tables thing...

I'll probably try it out this month.
