[Closed] PartyPoker RIPOFF

Why ripoff? It clearly says you did not clear the bonus in time...

Would have been nice to get a warning of some kind. Not just poof good bye

well your job is to get it ... now they got it ... who would warn you to make profit for yourself instead themselves ... ♠_cool:

Hi,

Sorry to tell you, but it is completely your foult. Next time go to your account, find link "bonuses", "active bonuses" and there is the place, where you can find detailed info about your bonuses - expiracy date, points remaining to gain, release conditions. Easy to find.

Cheers,
Ondra

I'm glad you posted that.
When this happened to me I thought I had $80 or so, and when I logged in I only had 33. I did not even see the explanation that you did.

I had had a losing day the day before, and thought I had terribly miscalculated how much I had lost.

This explains it nicely.

I didn't sweat it that much.
First off, it was never my money anyway, and secondly, I rather dislike PPs software.

At least you had winnings.

bit of an unfair thread title to be honest,all things considered.

We are (vaguely) warned in the various starting capital FAQs that our starting capital is not ours to keep, only our winnings and deposited monies are. The explanation could be clearer, but for someone who is sufficiently suspicious, it's obvious enough. (The William Hill FAQ, for example, states that, when you cash out, you have to leave $50 in your account if you got free starting capital, which is tantamount to saying that WH gets to keep the starting capital, not us.)

All in all it's nice to be able to play with free money and maybe win a little bit despite the fine print. It's a ripoff only if you don't read the fine print carefully enough.

yeah they know that alot of people will just skip the bonus FAQ part and then find themself in the point of no retrurn.Ofc it is a ripoff-you can call it marketing(but if not a ripoff marketing in its best is just a social cancer).

lol did you even look at the bonus site once??? cuz there it tells you very clearly how many days you have left until it expires!

btw lately other sites such as full tilt where you can also get starting capital, they dont have an expiry date...

i cleared mine at partypoker though and I calculated how many points id have to grind daily to make it in time, you just didnt pay enough attention, probably werent dedicated enough

On party poker you can do like 1.15 points a day and you are ok since you have 90days and only 100poitns to clear the bonus

OMG ,

I have 56 days at 58.76 points a day. how many hours of 4 tables per day to clear that ?

Playing 2NL .

say i move up to 4 NL ?

so u need to get 42 more points in 56 days... so 1,3 points per day in NL2, easy... yeah of course u should play 4 or 5 tables at the same time - dont move up to NL4... not with that bankroll...

1.You need to make 58.76 points for 56 days or
2. you did it 58.76 pp for in 56 days?
If statement 1 is correct then no need to worry.
If statement 2 is correct then you have to play twice asmuch.
sorry my english is terrible.
