Default Party Scratch Card Promotion

Can anyone see their scratch card? I want to see if I won but the picture won't load!

It works in FireFox but not in IE for whatever reason. Just download FireFox real quick and use that.

...once you've earned 40 regular Party Points in a day, you will be eligible for a FREE Scratchcard on the following calendar day after 11.00 am (ET) which will reveal a prize!

Folks, this boils my potatoes. Allow me a little rant if you will:

Speaking as someone building a poker site who's still looking from the outside in like a hungry street urchin, I can't stand this kind of misrepresentation. It's one thing to give hope in a promotion, but it's quite another to use absolutes. "will recieve a prize", "guaranteed prize". These do more than hint at winnings. They basically say 'get this and you get something.'

It's this kind of false advertising that gives people a bad taste in their mouth towards the entire online industry. Unfortunately, Party is the first stop for most first timers. If they strived to gain these 40 points for what they most certainly must think will be a prize, only to get what amounts to the Coke bottle cap 'congrats, you lose' message, other promotions from other places suffer.

Let me go on record now and state that when our new site goes up and ANYONE finds that ANY marketing message we put out is as misleading as these are, feel free to verbally pimp slap me on any forum.

Damn it Party, don't piss in the fish bowl.

Well, party has what your site won't: a fish bowl. See, even if you don't win at the scratch-it, the guaranteed prize is a huge number of idiots at the tables. Service/accountability/software are all an afterthought. Tons of poker rooms have been started, yet we have not seen ONE achieve even 1/4th of even Party's lowest player count. I for one will not play anywhere else but Party, regardless of anything that could happen in the span of at least a year. I suspect there are many others like me.
