What is wrong with Party?
 
I have played a few thousand hands at Party the past couple of months and got a reload of 25%. My brother, who has played one freeroll there in the past 4 months, got a 15% reload. What is the logic behind this? It's not like he abused bonuses, he probably cleared 3 or 4 reload bonuses ever. He's wagered $100,000+ there, playing up to short handed 15/30 and hundreds of $200+15 tourneys.

How on earth do they think a 15% bonus upto $100 is going to get him to transfer his play back to them?

I'm peeved I didn't get my 'play x thousand hands to earn 100 bucks' or whatever, value is lower per hand of bonus but the value of being forced to play the extra hands more than makes up for it!

Their business, they don't have to give a bonus to anyone, I just do not understand the rationale. Same for the per hands bonus - This guy played 2,000 hands last month, let's give him a bonus for doing the same, this guy hardly played at all, let's not offer him squat to make sure he doesn't play this month either.

I'll tell you what's wrong with Party. It's what's wrong with about every online site--BONUSWHORES are killing online poker. I wish 2+2 had never let BW have have space on their site as well!

What exactly is wrong with 25% up to $100?

I just got my 25% up to $100 bonus and I'm happy, it's only 7x, will take me 4 hours tops to clear, and you b**** about it?

That's $25/hr you moron, go away.

Apparently you have some difficulty comprehending basic English. I wasn't complaining about my bonus, I was pointing out how stupid their method is for determing who gets what bonuses and when.

To spell it out for you so you might just grasp it - there is no point in giving out player specific bonuses and then giving the biggest bonuses to the people who are playing there every day anyway, there is no point in giving me a $100 bonus because I'm playing there anyway and $100 is neither here nor there for any half decent player, you can make 25 bucks an hour playing 3 or 4 tables of 2/4 ffs, hardly high roller stuff, why on earth are they giving out the worst bonuses to the people who they should be trying to get back, the people who DON'T play there?

I'm glad you got your 100 bucks anyhow, and if you don't lose it clearing the requirements enjoy those extra large McDonalds you'll be eating the rest of the month as a result.

Better yet, scrap the bonuses entirely and screw you little weak tight whores over, and spend the cash on some decent customer support or lower the rake.

after all i have read, there's is no real logic behind the selection of the accounts for the offers. at least i can't find it. but maybe i'm just too stupid to see the pattern. but for 20% up to 100$ i'm not gonna complain...

and b-whores don't kill online poker. the sites decided whether they give a bonus or not. and right now there are a lot of different approaches to bonuses from the sites and i'm curious which one will succeed. until then i'll take advantage of the best offers.

easy answer:
 
they have shareholders to appease.

welcome to the stock market. enjoy. you are bottom of the feeding pool, buy stock for better dividends than reloads (more likely not lol).

Here's an idea: perhaps they're trying to reward the regulars? You're complaining that their bonus structure doesn't give money to the non-playing members, perhaps their strategy is to keep members like us playing? I paid $400 in rake this month alone, whereas your friend didn't even play, I'm pretty sure they'd be more interested in keeping me playing than trying to get his business, seeing as I can always leave their site if there is a better bonus out there.

Yes, you can make $25+/hr, and it doesn't have to be 1/2 (I pull that at .5/1, I know you won't believe my little tight weak ass), but I won't mind buying an extra few hundred MBs of ram courtecy of party poker.

Good one!

I got the bonus last time. this time I got the points.
So maybe some of the players that points last time get a bonus this time.

Of course I am--I freely admit it! Many who chase bonuses will have to admit that the practice is becoming so prevelant that it is making the games tighter and cutting into the margins of online sites (and forcing them to offer more and more unreasonable bonuses for lower limit players).

Have you ever heard the phrase "the goose that killed the golden egg"? I believe that is the case here. I wish it was the 'secret of the few' as it once was. Sadly, those days are forever over.
