In the past, party has usually sent out an email with their bonus offers.
Two questions:
1. Did Party send out an email with this promotion and if so, when did people get this email?
2. When do people usually get these emails? In the past I've recieved these emails a few days into the promotion and I was wondering if it's just taking some time to get into my inbox or if they send the emails out late.

Jinx,

Have you sent anymore emails? It's interesting that in the email they sent you (and a couple other people), it says June 3rd is part of the bonus period. In a email to me , it said the bonus period was June 4 - June 8, to which I replied my June 3 cashout should not affect my eligibility. After that email, they gave me the bonus.

I would keep trying.

Dear XXXX,

Thank you for contacting us.

I would like to inform you that your withdrawals are not related to
your bonuses. The Bonus promotions at PartyPoker.com are sporadic. The
Customer Service Department is also not aware about the upcoming bonuses
and promotions until they are actually launched. They are made apparent
to us as well as the Players at the same time.

Please be informed that a bonus of "$150.00" has been added to your
bonus account. You are required to play 1050 raked hands before
11-JUN-2005, as per the release restriction and the amount will be credited to
your real money account.....(I took out the fluff at the end)

Yes, I got mine June 4.

Interesting. I withdrew yesterday because I didn't know about the bonus and the new policy. I had not (and have not) gotten any email from Party, so I may wait until I do get it and then deposit. If I'm denied hopefully someone in CS will award it to me.

I have my emails sent to a hotmail account currently. Does anyone know if I might get them more promptly if I switched to my gmail account?

for bonus clearing purpose, what hand is considered a raked hand in NL25? is there a limit that rake has to be, say 0.5?

Are you sure you're signed up to receive their newsletter/promotional emails? My email for Party is at Yahoo, I doubt that has much to do with when you get them.

Welllll....I regularly get emails from news@partypokermails.com. The last one I got was on May 21st and the subject was "50K up for grabs!" I assume that these are the emails you are talking about. I noticed that on that particular email, it was listed as sent on May 21st at 4:45 and advertised a bonus starting at midnight on Friday the 20th.
Blech. With this new policy I'm going to need to start getting my emails on time.... spending even more in the zoo would just be unhealthy.
