Party Poker's player's club points- Ok, lets do something about this.

[jwvdcw]

As many of you know, PartyPoker offers total crap prizes as redemption for collected Player's Club points. Whereas Stars offers a number of good poker books, all you can get from Party is some apparel with the PartyPoker logo right on it.

They do offer freerolls, but they are so low limit(like a $50 prize for a 1000 entry tourney) that its not even worth it for any medium stakes or higher player.

Anyway, I figure that if we all speak up, Party will be more likely to listen. So I'm trying to get as many people as I can to email Party within the next few days about this issue. Send an email to as many different sources as you can(For example: if you're a VIP member, then email VIP in addition to the regular info@partypoker.com. And also send an email to any of the "higher-ups" in the company if you happen to know their email from a past issue).

Also, try to get your friends to do the same and post this message on any other message boards you may know of where poker is popular.

Lets see if we can get something done that will benefit all who play on Party. Thanks.

Post here if you've emailed them.

Pretty good idea. If you look at the other top poker rooms like ultimate bet and pokerstars you'll notice their points redemption options are much, much better than Party. I think (hope) Party will get their act together in this regard and start offering better prizes and maybe even money coupons like Empire offers.

Party are on the way down now I think...if Stars sorts out some kind of decent bonus scheme for Ring (which Lee seems to be promising when he says that the lack of rakeback will be a 'non-issue' soon) then Party are going to lose the #1 slot very soon..

party has already said that they will be adding items to their store...including cash for points and electronic items (like I-pods and what-not).


when they will actually get around to doing this is anyone's guess. but they have mentioned this before and no new news has come in the responses in this thread/.

Party is generating at least 5x the revenue of Stars.. there is no Poker site even close!!!

While we're at it (no sarcasm intended). Why not get everyone to sit at (and not play) on a few 6-max tables, to reduce the players to 5 per table, to reduce the rake (party recently upped their rake on 6-max tables).

I'd be totally up for doing this.

I emailed them, told them I'd rather just have freaking money. I don't care if its $.03 per point. I already ordered a beanie. That's the best option they have. And its not even close.

if they offered $0.03 per point, there would be a lot of happy people. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
