Party Poker Address Change

[PinkyRingo]

I need to change my mailing address for Party Poker, because I want my checks mailed to me at work instead of at home. Has anyone done something similar and been successful?

The folks at Party are giving me a hard time about this. They keep telling me that I need to fax in the new address with a matching driver's license or utility bill. Obviously, my driver's license has my home address on it, not my work address; ditto for my utility bills.

Any suggestions, or am I out of luck?

Thanks,
Pinky

Don't be a damn fool.

Uhhh, gee, thanks for your insightful comments. I'm asking an honest question here. If you would tell me why I'm a "damn fool," that would be much more helpful.

Thanks.

Hiding your checks from your wife?

I have no clue how to do it. I never had to mail them a driver's license or anything for my original address though.

Just setup a 2nd account with a different mailing address and transfer the money over to it.

You need to actually go to www.partypoker.com and login for the funds transfer option.

They specifically state you can only have one account on the site. Now while your intentions might be ok, and are not to cheat at the tables, you'll have a tough time convincing them of that if they notice your multiple accounts. I don't want to give any site a reason to hold my funds while they investigate.

This brings up another interesting point.

Instead of changing my address, I considered another option. I was going to just transfer money to the account of a friend of mine who lives here in town. That way, he could cash out for me, and I wouldn't need to bother with the address change.

The problem with this, as I recently discovered, is that there is a $400/week max on transfers. Any one know if there is a way to get this raised? I suppose I could just email PP and find out...

Take a utility bill, then carefully tape your business address over your home address. If you do this using the same font and alignment, it's almost impossible to tell on a photocopy/fax and you shouldn't have any trouble. I haven't done this specifically, but high school report cards and parental waivers taught me something at least.

I've been trying to do this for months now through email channels. No luck yet. I even called them to no avail. So, now I just go through Neteller and I earn worthless Netpoints. But, a fedexed check costs only $11 and always gets here 2nd day from Neteller.

LOL.

I considered this option, and still might give it a try. If any PP employees are reading this...JUST KIDDING!

Unfortunately, I was a straight A student from kindergarten through college, so I don't have much experience with this type of thing. LOL.
