Then move your money to one of the other poker sites that offers interest on your balance. When that fails, try a bank.

Maybe the increased rake couldn't compensate for the bonus on balance costs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] . The bonus on balance is a good idea for other poker rooms to copy.

At least we know Party isn't going to suddenly "go out of business" and snatch everyone's money, since this will reduce their total depositors' balances.

party better be prepared to handle some pretty hefty withdrawls come June 1.

if just 100 players kept 10k in there for this purpose then they will be paying 1-mil pretty quick i suspect.


do any other sites off interest-on-balance??

Party makes 1-mil in revenues each day. Party cancelled the bonus cause they don't need the extra cash.

this is your funniest line since your conversion to super-goon. i'll bet you did not even have to get this cleared.

very funny ellis



ok, now i put you back to work.

i registered for a 4 person tourney the other day that turned out to be 2 HU matches. it did not say that in the lobby. fix it, huh? i assumed it was a very short ONE table tourney that only paid one spot. i did not know i had to play 2 games.

i know i saw no such wording in the lobby, but if i did, then make it clearer. old and senile people like me miss that.

finally, my Poker Star's stress star split at the seams during fantasia's first song on american idol last night. the stuff crumbled on the cat, she stood up and did some kind of spasstic dance then bolted under the couch. now we can't find her (which is not necessarily a bad thing with this particular cat).

as reparation, i would like a 15 point FPP credit applied to my account, and if i were you i would be prepared for an asbestos lawsuit cuz' that shiit inside did not look right.

after i saw the cat's reaction, i decided to sniff a bit of it to see if it was one of host jacob's stars that was meant for shipment to harlem, but sent to me by accident. when i realized it was not one of them costa rican "special" stress stars, i began vomitting and seeing everything in green while my head spun (hmm, maybe it WAS one of jacobs).

sooo, give me the FPP credit (or send another kilo of them)

tyvm.



you may get back to being a poster again
