Looks like Party Reloads are out... - Page 10

I've been playing only on Party (Yes, I'm a moron) and I was offered 9235 points for $755 in cash.

I ran my PT numbers from last month thru PokerGrapher RB calculator and basically it works out to they are offering me about 24-25% RB if I exceed last month's number by about 10%.

That doesn't seem bad to me, considering Party has always been 100% reliable with instant Neteller cashouts on demand, and Neteller to my checking account is reliably 2 days or less.

Since it's important to me right now to keep my bankroll tiny and accessible, this looks like a reasonable alternative to tying up a bunch of cash at Eurobet (where I've heard cashouts can be a hassle) and the uncertainty of an affiliate for RB payout.

And then there's the whole BBJ tables thing...

I'll probably try it out this month.

Empire cashouts go just as fast as Party's, Eurobet's slow because you're not going through Pay Pro, they have their own system that takes around 24 hours.

They seem to attract people who play less with the % deposit, and people who played there semi-regularly with the stupid point system. Also, it looks like the higher-stakes players got worse bonuses.

i got a dumb 1530 points for $75 and i only play during reloads plus maybe couple hands extra and at .5/1 or 1/2 limit so dont think i can be counted in either the above categories.

personally, i reckon the bubble is bout to burst [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

as an after thought, has anyone thought of asking the "name a Party table guy" wtf is happening there the past few months with bonuses?

I don't know if the bubble's about to burst. People who actively look for reload bonuses (or use them for that matter) are very few. It might actually make Party a bigger fishfest, as bonuswhores won't be clogging it up.

I definetly know none of my friends look for bonuses, they just play on party, so getting that "140000 points for $40" will look like a great deal to them.

I got the worst offer I've seen so far: $35 for 1275 points.

I'm kind of ticked about this, so I sent Party the following email:

[ QUOTE ]
This month I received an offer to get $35 in exchange for earning 1275 Party Points. I normally do not earn this many points in a month, so this offer is worthless to me.

However, it has come to my attention that many other PartyPoker customers received regular reloads instead (using the TAKEIT or BONUSOCT codes). This year, I have played approximately 70,000 hands at your site, making me a loyal customer. I would like to know why I wasn't offered a reload bonus and whether there will be a general reload offer later this month.

Thank you.

I know this won't achieve anything, but I thought I'd post it here anyway. I will update this tomorrow with whatever broken-English response I get. Should be good for a laugh. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I play Party only during reloads and I got the 25% TAKEIT offer. Go figure.

1890 points for 150$ nice... time to deposit and start playing.

I got the 760 points for $70 offer. I play about half N/L and the other half 5/10 Limit. Since I'm going to play there anyway and will easily reach the required raked hand number, to me it is just like found money.

Mine was $135 for 1180 points earned betwen Oct 5 and Oct 30.

I just looked at my bonus point accruals for September and when I deposited $1000 for the Sept Bonus Reload, I was given 1000 Party Points.

I wonder if I can deposit $1000, get the 1000 or so Party points, and have 180 points left to clear to get the $135.

Sounds pretty good if that is the case.

I think that will work. Actually, you should get 1000 points for each deposit 500 or above according to there website [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

***Edit--oops, now I realize the difference between "regular points" and bonus points.

My offer of 4775 points for $220 is worth much less than rakeback for me.

Those are bonus points you get. You need "regular points" to clear this. Much harder.
