New Party Bonus Rule

[wbrumfiel]

If my post came off as a "screw your customer base" post it wasnt meant to. Im just stating who it hurts the most. Stars does the exact same thing and most 2+2ers have enough BR (not at stars) to handle this. Its nothing new in the online poker business, just new to the Party network. Im not worried as I dont keep a lot of money in party in non-bonus times.

Edit: I wonder one thing, maybe someone else did it and knows. If you cash out using Empire or other skin during the promotion does it affect this bonus? Since they all use the same payment system I was wondering if it affected it at all.

Coming soon to a skin near you....
The Big Brother Bonus Cops.
Oh wait, it's against their policy to have an account on more than one skin.
God, this attitude on their part is really annoying the hell out me.... sorry so gruff. Time to stop thinking about Potty and go do something else...

I too was denied the bonus due to this new rule. I had made a "matter-of-course" withdrawal a couple of days before I even heard about this bonus.

While I don't necessarily have a problem with the rule, I found it aggravating that there was no mention on their web page of the start date for this particular "Bonus period" (other bonuses have generally had definitive start and end times). When will the "Bonus period" for BONUSJULY begin? Today? June 18th at 12:23? July 1 at 00:00? Should I not make any withdrawls from Party in the near-term?

I think I'm going to follow the advice of many in this thread and keep after them.

Good luck, looks like vagury is the new weapon of choice for fleecing the masses. If you don't know the start date, what are the chances that the CS people are going to? How many of them will be fired for violating policy by giving you a bonus when you made a "bonus period" withdrawal? How long before the rest stop caring? I've got it... why not deny anyone who has ever made a withdrawal at party a bonus?

I withdrew a few hundred from my account during the bonus period before I realized it would disqualify me for the bonus.

I called phone support and the guy told me, in not so many words, that I was screwed.

I also sent them an email but haven't heard anything back yet. Maybe something good will come of that.

My policy is not to play Party Bingo unless there is a bonus and 1 minute and 30 seconds after reciving my bonus i cash out all but the pennies.
