Please explain the Party skins for me, as I am slow

[Roy Hobbs]

I have a Party account. I have played there for a long time.

I do not have an Empire account.

1. Can I take advantage of Empire deposit bonuses?
2. Does it matter which skin I play through -- are there any games offered on Party that are not offered on Empire and vice/versa?
3. Anything else I should now?

Thank you for your patience.

Same games as Party. Only the multis are different.

Different set of bonus offers and they have VIP points so its worth signing up.

1. Yes. But you need to sign up using a different computer.
2. I believe the multitable tournaments are different at Empire and Party, but otherwise everything is the same.
3. Most people switch to Empire for the rake rebate.

party and empire are exactly the same site run by different people/organisations - there is no difference in the games offered

i'm not an expert on getting bonuses from both but i believe from what i have read on this forum that you can collect on going bonuses from both or that you were at least able to previously - certainly if you now open an empire account you will get the usual deposit bonus

as i mentioned in another post 15 minutes ago, late last year party and empire made it much tougher to open an account at both sites - it is still possible though if you have a party account to open an empire account - there are a bunch of posts on this forum that address how it can be done - basically open the empire account from a friends computer and you can then play it from your own computer

if your going to open an empire account and your interested in a rake rebate arrangement with an affiliate get that sorted before you open the account

ps - whoops - as another poster mentioned there are some different tournaments between the 2 sites

Yea earlier this month I signed up for an Empire account so I could get a rake rebate through an affiliate. I already had a Party account so it would not let me sign up on my computer, or using the same email. All I did was go to my schools library went on the internet opened a new yahoo email and fired up Empire. All worked out well.

I had a dormant Party account from months ago and signed up an Empire account while visiting a friend for a couple days.

Unfortunately when I got back to my PC I tried to download the Empire software and I get the following error:

"Incorrect file size, please try to download this file again"

The download seems to get about 1.16 MB of 2.32 (coincidence exactly 50%?) then zips through the rest in a split second and pops up the error. I tried Saving (in various files) as well as simply Opening the file. Each time I tried to redownload I erased the empire files that seemed to be partially downloaded. Norton is disabled, plenty of disk space, no problems downloading other programs, etc.

Empire support said they would email startup files to me. Guess I could wait a couple days. Tick Tock Tick Tock.

Ideas anyone?
