Anybody understand the new Party Poker bonus

I got this and have no idea what I have to do to get the money

From Wednesday, October 5 through Monday, October 31, 2005, you can earn XXXX Regular Party Points and receive XXX dollars in cash! You won’t have to sweat it out as this is less play than what you have done before at PartyPoker.com.

We'll automatically deposit the money in your PartyPoker.com account by November 4th if you have met your target. Log in now and start earning those Party Points!

I got the same message. What I can't figure out is how many points you get for playing. If it is on their website, it sure is hard to find (between hands [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])

I got this same message. I'm wondering, is it ok to post numbers? Maybe that could help determine how they give the bonus (ie 7x). I know this isn't a straight up deposit bonus, but there must be some mathematical formula to it. If you guys think the numbers posting is ok, I'll gladly share.

This must be Party's way of counteracting the unmentionable. Still, I hope they don't do away with deposit bonuses.

Mine says 1005 points for $90.

Yeah, I'm 2765 for $225, if anyone cares. Apparently it's cool to post this, but for anyone interested, this is the talk on the Internet Bonus board. Check it out, everyone is going nuts.

[meanjean]

got the answer back

Earn the number of points stated and get the dollar amount stated

I'm screwed...I have to get 7K points...I never play that much

To see how points work, log into "My Account" at the PP website and click on the Players Club Points link.

Then, click the link for Details on the players Club.

You get points for raked hands, and also bonus points for deposits, referrals, playing at certain times of day, and playing a certain number of days (per week, I think).

It should work out better than if your bonus was strictly tied to raked hands.

All this is true for earning Players Points; however, on the Internet Bonus forum people are saying that you must earn Regular Points (i.e., raked hands). Depositing $1000, for example, shouldn't earn you regular points. So for a 3/6 non BBJ player, you get 12 points per 20 hands. In all actuality, it sounds like a pretty crappy deal for everyone but Party. Seems like a lot of people aren't too happy with Party right now and their affiliates should be getting a lot more play.
