Is this reload bonus or bonus for new backgammon players?

[theben]

it appears to be a first time bonus. can anybody explain just how these things clear? what are the terms, how does it work? please be as precise and detailed as possible

Thanks

[Emilie11]

I used exactly 13 min. to clear this 100$ bonus. Thanks party.

It is + EV. You have to wager $3500. You can play 50 cent/Point - Limit $500. 7 Games to clear the full Bonus.

Two quick questions if anyone if willing to help out...

1) Can I signup for a different acct than I use at Party Poker?

2) I don't play much Backgammon -- what does Limit $500 mean? Does it mean a point is worth 50c and you can keep doubling until you reach $500? If so, can you just reject the double, lose the game and thereby clear $500 of the bonus even while putting on 50c "at risk"?

Thanks if anyone is willing to answer.

[theben]

fullhouse,

mind explaining exactly what steps you did? as in, basic stuff on how to play to clear the bonus as fast as possible, what settings i should put down for the game, etc.

i've never played backgammon before

[fullhouse]

Stake: 0.5
Limit: $500
Gammon Type: Backgammon
Game speed: normal

Preferences: Play with Cube and Use Jacoby Rule

If your opponent doubles click reject.

[jupiterpig]

this bonus is great and all but when i set up a game i dont even get people willing to join me? How did yall do it so fast??

[theben]

can anybody explain how i';m supposed to play this game? as in, what is the basic idea? why am i moving my little chips aorund?

[jupiterpig]

theben...the best thing to do is read a backgammon lesson thingy and play a few play games to understand stuff...you have to play a while to get a stragety...i am new to this as well and that is what i have found out...

Fullhouse,

another question--
the "limit" you slect is not what you are actually wagering, correct? it is just a theoretical max?

also, to create a .50 / 500max game you need to throw in 500 and not 400 into your account, correct?

Let me get this straight. The most I can possibly lose is $3.50, for a net profit of $96.50?

Isn't this too good to be true?

is this definitely 1st time bonus or does it work as a reload

It don't change the WR but you can only play with a $400 Limit and you need one more game to clear the bonus.

[bb88]

Yeah. And depositing just $500 isn't enough, because if you go below $500 you can't create a game or play in a game with a $500 limit. Depositing $503 will cover everything and you'll cashout $600.

[Lessu]

learned a new game and collected $98.

Deposited, played 7 games and cashed out in under an hour! Even made $1.75 profit on the play!

Hello,

I deposited, played 7 games of 500limit. Then the bonus disappear from my account as I wagered enough but no bonus cash added. Is this usual? Did you guys immediately got your bonus? Thanks for info

[136913691369]

thanks OP. I pwn at backgammon. I'm guessing I was playing another noob because I actually won 5 out of 7 games and I don't know what I am doing.

[ImsaKidd]

I was so confused by the software i just conceded my first game. Meh.

You've probably already figured this out, but check it again like a minute later.

[E.Z.]

someone play me, i'll concede cause i dont know what the f i'm doing

[BillJames]

Easiest $100 ever. I'd say it takes maybe 5 minutes, because you don't even need to play the full games (just hit the doubling cube right off). I doubt that this $1200/hr rate will be around for long, so if you haven't yet, get on board.

Thanks, OP!

[marino]

stil nothing for me, after wagering the bonus disappeared from the bonus details page but I was not given the money...seems that party somewhat got me after all

[brendanb438]

ANyone else trying to do this? I have open games on here come join.

[metsandfinsfan]

that was awesome. easiest money ever

[Ortho]

that seems extremely odd. I'd try logging out and logging back in, opening your account page again, etc. maybe refresh your browser? I'm sure you've tried all these things, though. Every time party credits me a bonus the exact same thing happens, then it pops up.

Anyway, this bonus was easy and fun. It was so fun that I have been tempted to play some low-stakes games, though I think I'll try a tournament to get a certain # of games with limited risk, because I don't know exactly when to offer my opponent a double when I'm ahead.

[brendanb438]

I am only seeing one game listed in single backgammon for 50 cents $500 stakes. When I create a game it doesn't pop up in the window. I should be able to see it right?

[jupiterpig]

-Brendan

[godofgamblers]

Wow I didn't know party blacklsted people. Regardless I feel dirty also withdrawing $500 in order to redeposit a couple hours later =)

[DoubleDealDecker]

Thank you for sharing, solucky.

[Wires]

Jesus. There is no way this can last. The number of .50/500 games in the lobby is insane.

If you want to clear this, I'd move quickly.

[jupiterpig]

agreed

[godofgamblers]

I'll be rather pissed if this gets killed in 2-3 hours.

[GMan42]

Yeah...gotta move on this quickly.

Also I'd recommend playing your games through reasonably (rather than just double/resign on 2nd move, etc., which is the equivalent of folding ~700 consecutive hands to clear a poker bonus).

Up $102 on the whole deal. That's it, I'm goin' pro!

[dlk9s]

This is great. It seems to be working. Be sure to deposit more than $500, because if you lose right away, you won't have sufficient funds to play in a $500 max game.

EDIT: Done! I went 3 and 4.

[howdydudey]

Someone at party is getting fired for this mess up.

[tufat23]

OMG at this bonus. was sitting with a 2p2er who didnt even know the rules so i just doubled everytime and he resigned. fun times, easy $$ for both

[1huskerfan]

why?

PP is taking it in the @$$ as I type this. It only takes 10 minutes to clear. Get yours and get out. I wonder if they'll ban people for this.

[Wilco666]

Wow, just cleared this. Actually took me almost an hour, since I tried to play the game seriously. Some of my opponents were even worse than me.

[godofgamblers]

Anyone who didn't do it yet want to help me with doing .5/400 games if its possible? Turns out depositing 500 would put me 100 over my 2k weekly deposit limit (which I seemed to have set when I tilted on blackjack :P). PM me if interested!

[brendanb438]

If any 2+2ers are still trying to clear this I am redhead with open games.

[metsandfinsfan]

at 400 u would have to play 9 games instead of 7

[godofgamblers]

I'm willing to conceded my 50 cents all 9 times /images/graemlins/smile.gif

FWIW

[brendanb438]

Thanks to the 2+2ers who took some time to show me the basics of how to actually play Backgammon.. Interesting game. Best bonus ever!! Only thing that came close was getting $90 for Mansion when you could still bet $50 in the casino to get the $90, and betting $24 on red, $24 on black, and $2 on 0 was allowed to clear this.

-Brendan

[UATrewqaz]

Had tons of fun and made $98 in like 25 minutes.

Dropped my first 4 games but took 2 of last 3, 2-5 in my 7 games, not bad for someone completely terrible.

Hey thanks for the help everyone. I was randomly clicking and just forfeited after a while to make it not so suspicious, though if they review player chat they'll know :P

Don't worry about it Hhughes a random 2+2er came and helped me out.

[zutmin]

WTF?? That was so easy I feel guilty. I even tried to play the games out but my opponent kept trying to double the stakes and I just kept rejecting. Took about 15 minutes to clear the $100. Thanks 2+2!

[sharp63]

So do we think that this is a bug with the software or did 2+2 just figure out the easiest way to clear this bonus? If it's not an error or bug and this was ok, then there is no way Party is going to pull this bonus.

If it was an error, then this is what? The third bonus that Party has completely screwed up and left themselves vulnerable to be taken advantage of...First it was the one month early this year where you could use ALL of the targeted bonuses. Then there was the TopBucks fiasco and now this Party Gammon thing.

PokerStars who?

Hey, if I go through http://partygammon.com/ and make account, does it have any effect on Party Poker... Since I dont have account yet on Party, and I would like to go though some affiliate when I open Party Poker account. Is this Party bgammon "same" with PP?

If somebody could confirm this, it would be nice. (Sorry bad english)

[tomtemor]

To the OP, thank you so much! It's a great bonus and I also think Backgammon is pretty funny.

[E.Z.]

this wwas my 2nd deposit. signed up 1 month ago and never cleared it cause i didnt know the trick

[jrz1972]

I'm pretty sure that you use the exact same account for PartyPoker, PartyGammon, and PartyCasino. So if you're going to open a poker account through an affiliate for some reason that must not be spoken of, you might want to pass on this one.

[aceskay]

waiting for a game, sn is ashby84...this is awesome

[Raised2Win]

muahhah with that monster promotion noway im feeling guilty. (like i would have without it, RIIIGHT!)

[Beastmaster]

The fastest bonus I've ever cleared...wife too.

[aceskay]

We have all obviously disliked the monster promotion. But, with the $100 casino bonus last week, and now this one for backgammon, it seems like the party organization is at least continuing the random $100 bonuses that we all enjoy so much. Hopefully a $100 poker bonus will be coming out "next Thursday"

Also, big thanks to OP for finding this and telling everyone how to do it, especially those of us with no clue of how to play backgammon!

[solucky]

Its only poor that anyone play it with 500 max. Instead a " possible" monthly reload from 100, Party close the door now.
Hoped ou are not that greedy and cleared it with 30-50 max:)

You only need to deposit $400. You just need to have over $500 available in your partyaccount.

[Merlinius]

I have $500 available in my party account. But in order to re-deposit the money, I would have to withdraw it first and that would make it impossible for me to get the bonus (according to the terms & conditions). As I am from Europe, I don't have any $ except for the money in PP and a little in Neteller. A Bank transfer would take days and cost a lot of money... So, it is really not possible to withdraw and then re-deposit? Has anyone tried it so far?

[sm1030]

do a bank transfer. this onus is goo for 30 days

[godofgamblers]

Yes you can withdraw and deposit with your Party account, I guess as long as you're not using the Backgammon program. That's what I did and it worked out fine.

[Merlinius]

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to hear /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Mat

[jaybird]

thanks OP. great bonus! I resigned all 7 games and still made $96.50!

[chessmaster]

Easiest bonus ever, thanks a lot to OP.
I can report, that the offered $0.5/500 games are very soft, and if you dont have any backgammon skills being the first to double often works wonders.
I made an easy 7-0 (although i only doubled when i was winning anyway).
Running out of time loses the game by the way, one of my opps did this.
The reason for not accepting a resignation might be a chance to make a gammon, which doubles the value of the game (So probably running out of time with a gammon chance costs twice also).

[peregrine]

Actually made a little money in addition to bonus as other guy was resigning to get bonus.

How much did people deposit to clear this bonus?

Does someone need a $500 deposit to play the .50 $500 level that was originally recomended here? Thanks

[UATrewqaz]

Yes, you need at least $500 to play a 500 max game, so you actually need to deposit MORE than 500 to ensure you dont' dip below 500. I deposited 600.

[sg23]

you don't *have* to play $500 max games tho (although of course it goes faster if you do.) you'll hopefully see a few people also starting $300 and $400 max games, perhaps because they have smaller BR or no money at party other than the bonus deposit.

while i'm here i want to also say best.bonus.ever!!

[sm1030]

I doubt Party is going to do a Backgammon monthly bonus. This is just sick

[NoMoreLurking]

Okay, auxillary question:

If you deposit $500 for this bonus and leave the deposit for 8 days will you get the 1000 PartyPoints?

I'm thinking 'yes', because it is going into your PartyAccount, right?

party bonus points may be a thing of the past. i would get that free 100 outa there ASAP

Why? Do you really think Party is going to take the money back? This isn't a "cabin downgrade" scam. You are clearing a bonus.

I keep hundreds in Party every day for playing. Am I going to cash it all out on the miniscule chance Party tries to renege on their own stated T & C's?

[NL Newbie]

i just played someone who had to tell me i made 45cents to accept a reject lmfao im such a noob.

GG $100 for me.

[NL Newbie]

ok to cash out straight after i assume? although i guess i get party points for leaving cash in there.

Look for Apophis.

[NL Newbie]

lol chigger, thats worse than me!

I think i lost $1 or something. quite scary, thought i was gonna misclick and somehow lose my whole balance /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Folding Pete]

That was easy money, thanks for the heads up.

A couple of tips for complete noobs like me.

1. In the top left corner is a ticked box that will auto-roll the dice for you.

2. If somebody offers you a double decline then on to the next game!

Sweet!

[chigger]

I just made a huge suckout. Way behind and hit doubles 3 times in row to win. And it was at double stake whoopee.

Like hitting a runner runner inside straight draw!

[BobJoeJim]

Thank you OP!!!

And yay for knowing just enough about backgammon to be able to be the one doubling, not the one accepting the double. +$107.73 /images/graemlins/smile.gif

omfg some douchebag wont accept my resignation!

[/ QUOTE ]

Why on earth do people keep posting things like this. Learn to play the game! The reason he won't accept your resignation is because he thinks he can gammon you for double stakes, and in such a situation, he shouldn't accept your resignation. Just play the game out, and let him try for gammon. If he offers to double you will get your chance to resign. Otherwise it's an extra 2 minutes of you life.

Judging other's attitudes about the game when you have no idea what you are doing makes you the douchebag. It's a lot like saying 'OMG some douchebag just went all-in on me and now I can't see the turn and river for free'

AND... for all of you automatically resigning all doubles, you are idiots. You should play this bonus accepting a max loss of $7. Many times, you should accept doubling offers.

Sigh. Then again, I suspect many of you have no idea what you are even doing at all so whatever, decline all doubles.. but it's usually incredibly stupid.

Please people, just go online and read for a few minutes. Learn to play, even a little. Even just learning the rules would be good.

I played my games to the best of my ability but resigned when it was clear I had lost. I also declined all doubles, as is my right to do.

Backgammon rules for those interested:

[1huskerfan]

You actually played the games? I offered double after the first roll 7x. 7 games with 2 rolls max, money out of neteeler a total of 80 minutes.

Ummm.. no

Not when saying you should occasionally accept doubles is tantamount to saying you should occasionally call bets in poker

When did people stop caring at all about proper strategy? I mean I know this is a bonus forum, but come on.

If it still makes you a profit, do you play all your poker bonuses by folding every hand too?

i think i am the only one who agrees with you. after learning the rules, i found this game to be fairly interesting. party might make their rake back from me on this one after all.

[elrudo]

My opponent, ( someone with 'poker' in his nickname ) and I played the game of rolling the dice to determine who open-resigns.


Immediate rematch, rince, repeat, $100 in 1 minute.

Goood bonus.

[Aleo]

To all the good backgammon players out there, I have a suggestion for how to make about $500 in a very short time, over and over again.

Offer games to all the obvious whores but change the initial stake to $500. They'll check yes very quickly without even looking, and might even be nice enough to open resign. If not, should still be pretty easy to beat players who have no idea what they are doing.

Real Backgammon players must really be loving this promo.

[car ramrod]

is there a way to tell how far along you are, or do you just have to wait until you lose 7 games then it should be credited. I have no idea how to play this game, and I am not even sure if I am finishing a game. If I resign does that count toward the wr? This seems to be taking too long. I think I have only finished 2 games as it ask me to double, and I said no. Do I have to finish every game? please help. or better ye6t someone come play me and help me finshit this bonus

[Big Poppa Smurf]

i can only deposit 350 into this. this means it should take me about 12 games playing 0.5/300 right?

[1huskerfan]

It won't take them very long. The rake on PartyGammon is brutal and the game is barely prfitable for the most skilled players.

[tastyflop]

Thanks thanks and thanks! Easy money.

[neverforgetlol]

damn my money's tied up on another site, hope this is still around tomorrow.

[Folding Pete]

Just play 7 games at the $0.50 limit $500 stake and you get the bonus.

If you resign every game or refuse every double you still get the Bonus after 7 games. With a max loss of $3.50.

Sweet!

[Thythe]

Comeon people, 2 games to go, join my games!!

[Biggle10]

Best bonus ever. $$ just hit Neteller. Can I turn pro at this?

[grando]

thanks for the free 96 dollars party

WHERE'S YOUR MONSTER NOW?!?!?!?!?

[jimpo]

This was a scary bonus. I had no idea what I was doing, was paranoid of making some noob mistake and losing $500. Worked fine though.

[TheProdigy]

Ok, I am a pathetic Bonuswhore and would like some help..


Can anyone help me as to exactly what to do during the game? (PM is fine)

Edit: If not, can I just simply join a game and sit there and not click anything and time-out? I seriously have never even saw this game played let alone played it so I need exact directions lol so I don't lose my roll

[ridonkulous]

Thanks all. Easiest $100 ever.

[Folding Pete]

Timing out is a bit slow but it works, just try to move a few counters and then resign.

I'm sure it's an awesome game, but I have a feeling that the people in this thread aren't depositing because they're in the mood to learn a fun and exciting new pastime they can share with the guys some night. I know I wasn't thinking that.

[RiverFenix]

How bad is variance in BG? Someone just rolled 2-3 triples 3 games in a row when we were both in our own home area to beat me by 1 piece two games in a row and a couple of pieces the game before when I was way up on their pip score.

[zPro]

Wow!
Did this a few mins ago. I have no clue how to play this game. I rolled the dice, moved some checkers around and got bored. Resigned and re-matched 7 games in a couple minutes. Fastest $97 I ever made!
Am I dreaming?
This is too good to be true!

[kyleb]

Nice, just did this for a $97 win.

[TylerD]

Is there an initial deposit bonus as well?

[ihaveAdream]

Great bonus! I actually enjoyed the game so I played every match 'til the end.

that is what I was doing, but when I closed out the table and looked at my balance it shows the same amount, it doesn't look like I lost any money.

ps. can anyone else confirm that they stopped giving out this bonus?

[Ortho]

Yes, it looks like it's over.

Sting, will you look at your bonus page and see how much it says you have to clear? I wonder if they'll now say you have $3496.50 to go.

[jimpo]

My account still has the extra $100 from the bonus. Interesting to see if they take it away. If they do not, I bet I get the same treatment as Sting when I try to cashout.

Maybe I should've cashed out as soon as possible, bleh. But let's see what happens.

[imitation]

hmm i don't seem to have lost any cash, money still in my account, but haven't tried to cashout, i'm going to play some poker see what happens....

[TheRegulator]

I got the full withdrawl at 4:15a .... However, I did request it about 10p last night.

[Biesterfield]

I can confirm that the bonus is still WORKING, however cashouts MIGHT be another story. I just requested mine.

[riverrun27]

Ok...this is my first post but I'll give you something to try. Do not try to cash out using the partygammon software. I had my cash out reversed with my full bonus in tact. I originally deposited $500 so I tried to withdraw $596 and it got rejected, so I tried again by logging into my account at partypoker.com and requesting the cash out from there and it was in my account 4 hours later. Its worth a shot to get around the gammon police.

Goodluck and thanks to the OP.

[jrz1972]

Excellent find. I hope others can confirm this work-around.

[Y2RaY]

A friend of mine got the bonus yesterday & tried withdrawing same day ... but his cash out was denied ... they said he only played 7 games ... they let him take out $508 but the $100 bonus money is still in his real money balance ...

[Jibba]

Damn ... no way this will still be working when I can get on tonight. Crossing my fingers though ...

Yes it does work, as of this morning, I already have the cash in neteller.

go to partypoker.com, click my account on the top right

select cash out and proceed to cash out as usual.

You guys using the poker cashout......have you been withdrawing your FULL amount of money in the poker account?? If you happen to not be cashing out completely, the $100 will still probably get denied. Just a thought

My point total is going down after each game, but my balance is still $610, I deposited $510 (already had a $100 in there). My bonus just says pending, should it say somewhere how much of the $3500 I have wagered. It just says I need to wager $3500, and the bonus is still pending. anyone?

[Roy6]

So what's the masterplan guys?
Party will probably confiscate this $100 upon your next deposit like they did with the cabin downgarde glitch.

For most people it would be -EV to give up Party for 100 bucks.

[UATrewqaz]

It's highly unlikely Party will take back the $100

This was supposed to be a legitimate bonus given to players and Party messed up the tracking of the requirements.

the cabin downgrade was

A. Totally erroneous. It was refunding of money for cabins people had not won at all

B. Instantaneous, clicking a link on a webpage made money appear in your account

C. For much larger sums of money ($400 - $600)

Edit: well it appearst hey might be stopping it NOW, however I don't think they'll try to take it back from people who have already cashed out.

[Slyou]

Seriously we are just taking avantage of a mistake and they have the capacity of taking back the money ??? thats a joke . They sux , they have to assume it. Im not stealing money so.. if they take back some $ i i'll [censored] them in court /images/graemlins/smile.gif

My response...

To whom it may concern,

I would like to have my request of $601 cashed out of my party gaming account honored. I met the requirements of the bonus, you acknowledged it and therefore, regardless of YOUR mistake, owe me and should honor your word.

What else does a gambling site have other than their word? I guarantee you'll lose a lot more than my 100 bonus money if you fail to release it and I start telling people that party gaming doesn't honor their word and changes their policies to fit their whims.

Secondly, you have not returned the balance to my poker account as I cannot play poker or backgammon on your site. Sadly, as an avid poker and backgammon player, this is not the type of introduction to party gaming I was hoping for.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, I eagerly await your response.

Ditto. Played some cover play backgammon, some poker, and cashed out whole account from poker side about 11 hours ago. Not a penny on Neteller or Party account at the moment, cash out is "success" on transaction history.

I guess EV for this bonus wasn't +100 but -550. Oh well /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[tkcoffey]

just got the reply from them:

We understand your concern for the cashout. The PGAMMON25 bonus which you are referring to is showing as released due to a minor technical problem because of which the wagered amount is showing incorrectly. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Please note that you have to wager $594 only after which you would be able to request for a cashout.

We see that as of now (Date and time of bonus) you have wagered $5 on our games and still you have to wager the remaining amount $594 before September 15, 2006.

Please note that wagering is the amount which you take to a game i.e., the Stake amount and not the Limit amount set for the table.

We once again apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding in this regard.

hmmm. girlfriend and I did the bonus monday night. only got 1 cashed out as i was working on IGMPAY. i'm just going to not try a cashout until after sept 15th. that way they cant so you have to wager xxx more by sept 15th.

if they deny me $100 i should be able to at least raise hell until i get some compbonus for poker.

Got this email also.

For me, they are calculating my remaining wagering requirements as (my cashout amount - currently wagered). Anybody any idea why they are doing this,

Like you tkcoffey, why only 594 remaining and not (3500-current wager)?

I guess I'll have to wait and see. I always keep money on Party and have made a few withdrawals already, but since I haven't withdrawn down to 0 I didn't get any email. There's no pending bonuses etc on my account so I'll just play dumb if $100 mysteriously disappears on the 15th.

i still need to think of a good reply to their email, any suggestions?

[spino1i]

dont reply. call them. much easier. If you are good at talking people into doing things, its much much much easier.

Give us an example of how you handled it over the phone.

it helps if you are a VIP player. then you can talk to their VIP dept and they are always really resonable and generous. Normal PP support staff are braindead tho..

[chigori]

Their support if f***** up!

I replied to their initial email (multiple times now) and I received the same initial email 4 times in a row as a reply. Every single time signed by another support agent. Not sure if they know what they are doing or even read my email but I'm gonna go the phone way if this doesn't clear up pretty soon.

Damn frustrating!

[tkcoffey]

let me know on what you say and how it goes with their support

[godofgamblers]

I'm pretty sure they realize you're just complaining about the same thing so they're sending you the same general form. They probably read your past emails before replying to your current one.

just got the reply from them:

We understand your concern for the cashout. The PGAMMON25 bonus which you are referring to is showing as released due to a minor technical problem because of which the wagered amount is showing incorrectly. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Hahaha, Party support are funny.

[chigger]

Any of you who were denied cahsout have money back in you Party account yet? If yes, is it the full cashout or cashout -$100? Or is it still in limbo?

[tkcoffey]

i am limbo, just go off the phone and i will be getting my money (-100 bonus) returned to my account in the next 24 hours.
got nothing for my trouble
also according to the CS , anyone you cashed out will have their 100 bonus confiscated if they put money back into party (this is what she said so i don't know if they follow through with that )

Wouldn't it be great if everytime you screwed up and lost money you could just take it back no questions asked? Think anyone would actually stay away from Party just to avoid giving the $100 back?

Cashed out at around 6:00 PM yesterday. Haven't received any email or money as of yet.
