Mr. PartyPokerHelp

Does Party plan on going back to the previous method of doing bonuses - ie. one bonus code for everyone?

Not anytime soon, no. Our marketing team made the deicision that the monthy bonus was being abused, thus creating the new account specific bonuses.

Does that mean you would have made 241 million last year instead of 240 million? Wow, those bonus abusers must have really hurt your bottom line.

Speaking of abuse, how about that .50 rake on a 5.00 pot. My marketing team advised me to quit playing there because of this site abuse. Only Party could have double the rake and have the nerve to mention bonus abuse by people who complied with the terms to meet the bonus given them freely by the site itself.

So now they have paid shills on the poker forums defending their crappy bonus policy which is not even competitive with the majority of other sites. They expect players to play their site as usual like sheep being led to slaughter, as their goal this year is to drain over one billion from players bankrolls.

I guess greed is OK, but don't shove it in our faces and expect us to respect you.

Party is busy blowing it I think -- the next few months should be interesting but I can't imagine Party will still be the #1 room in 12 months time..

I don't know Bob, I'm skeptical that this guy is for real, but there is this evidence to the contrary:

1. His writing is poor, filled with mispellings and grammitcal mistakes.
2. His posts don't really answer the questions being asked.
3. He is arrogant and does not care about the people whom he is answering.

Seems like it fits the bill for Party Support to me.

Mine is usually on as I'm a Brit not an American [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway what's retarded about positing that Party won't be the #1 room in 12 months if they persist in crappy bonuses and no RB..if Lee puts some sort of slightly better bonus package together for the lower stake Ring players PS would overtake them more or less straight away..

i agree that stars has a great opportunity.

i believe their VIP club should be running within a few weeks and hopefully will not suck and actually make sense.
I already know that their support will actually respond when you write to them.

jman is correct in some ways: it's a semi-amusing parody.

I for one thought it was a very nice joke account, but the poster's answer's aren't over-the-top enough IMO.

I give it a 7/10.

I would actually be surprised if Stars wasnt #1 in 6 months. They already have more tournament players, better rake, and much better support. They also do not have casino games trying to suck the fish out of cash that will soon destroy the quality of the Party games. The non holdem games at Party have dropped in half since the split.
