PokerNOW (Party skin) $200 + free book signup bonus *DELETED*

If I had to guess I would say its basically a giant affiliate setup. The reason they dont have an affiliate program is because they are an affiliate. I'd guess party is the one actually behind it, they at the very least have to be intimitely involved with it, because they are allowing people who already have a party account to basically get another party account. Hell maybe party has lost to many players to other skins, and this is a way to get some of them back. Whatever the reasons are, its definately not a skin and something different.

It is different from the other skins in that

a) You can't have the Party and PokerNow clients open at the same time.

b) It says "Powered by Party Poker" right on the PokerNow logo.

c) The My-Account page, though having fewer options than the Party Poker My-account page, does have an option for starting chips for the Party Poker Million.

Everything else seems to be consistent with the other Party skins though.

FWIW, the guy at Pay-Pro told me that there's no problem with having an account at both Party and PokerNow, right before he thanked me for signing up with Party Poker.

Ha, that's the first time one of my posts from a completely different forum was quoted elsewhere. Thanks Granny [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

All he had to do was be honest.....

Largeyes, you are famous.
I whipped you in a Tropics headsup SnG just so you know.

As far as I'm concerned about this Pokernow controversy, the bonus code worked and it was a damn good bonus code for a 5X requirement for a 40% bonus.

Thanks to the man who brought this to light is all I can say.

It's all good! $500 deposit - $200 bonus after 1000 hands, plus $25, plus a book on the way, yea!

[censored] sweet! did you need to use a clean computer to sign up? i saw in another post that this was unnecessary.

[dogmeat]

Yes, I had to use my laptop to signup and then was able to use my desktop. However, when they called me to confirm my deposit they asked if I had another Party account and I said "yes", thinking "uh,oh", but then they just said "thank you".

So you received the second $100? This amount appeared automatically in your account after you completed the 1000th hand?

[D. Andrew]

I have received the second $100 after completing the 2nd 500 hands requirement.

if this guy were as smart as his screename, he would have done this --->

come here and buy an instant classified and then made a discreet announcement that the classified was there. that announcement may not have been appropriate, but by the time any mod deleted it, the ho's would have had 10 threads going with the codes.

a bit of pre-planning, and he would have been a zillionaire and not stepped on toes by making 10 posts denying he was getting revenue.

i would give my prized douchebag and all the attachments to have had the same opportunity he had. sometimes people just need to stop and think for a minute how to do things legit. it usually ends up more profitable anyway.

I thought PITM meant more to you than that.

I dont give a damn if someone gets 10% or 100% of the rake I pay. I still have a damn good bonus (40% to $200 + a book) that's better than the standard. Are you people too jealous of a guy getting a lot of money to get a good deal, fine.
