Default Re: New Party Bonus Rule

It's not an issue of not having the bankroll to take advantage of the bonus....
Put yourself in the shoes of the average play through player, though. Say you have a poker budget of $500 a month that you regularly play through. Until now, you have been able to take that money out, redeposit and get yourself some more gas mileage. Now, you are suddenly told that you can't do that. What's more, Party seems to randomly give out new bonus codes. So, there's no way to predict when the bonus will be. Message is clear - Party want's to give as few bonus' to players (any players not just BW's and winning players) as possible. This has a tendency to alienate the clients. I know what they were intending, but once again I think they missed the mark in the translation to action. Any policy that discourages action is bad for business.
I think we are seeing a shift towards the type of policies employed by casinos. The evidence may prove me wrong in the future, but things are certainly pointing that way.
