Free Money From Party.

[Uppercut]

I just received an e-mail from Party telling me how much they miss my business, and offering me a $40 bonus if I will come back and play. The bonus will be mine if I play 400 raked hands by September 4th. My question is this: If I just enter a $33 S-n-G and happen to cash, can I withdraw my winnings from the S-n-G without having met the requirement for claiming the $40 bonus?

Got $30 10x cash restricted bonus /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I got $40 10x bonus.
However, I'm among those who just had money confiscated by PP due to the Backgammon screw up.

[Davey]

Anything over the $33 you can withdraw with no problems.

I got no bonus though. I hope that just means a reload is coming and I get the full amount.

backgammon, what happened??

[Phytopath]

yep, got the same thing.

[batmanoflove]

what's the best way to clear the 400 raked hands? my dead line is on September 1st

[kcheel]

Same here.

[Mustbeblufin]

I got $40 here.

[brendanb438]

Not sure what type of question that is but the easiest way would be to just play some NL to clear it. Either play 1 table of $50 NL or split your $40 over 4 tables with $10 at each of $25 NL.

$40 here also.

[OziBattler]

I found the the best way to use this free money is to gambool with it. If you busto then nothing is lost but if you run good you can score big, cashout winnings and continue to gambool the original $40. rinse repeat.

What I mean is play the money, hope to make a quick score because when you leave a table any profits youve made with the $40 are then unrestricted. Im pretty sure that when you then resit at a new table the winnings above $40 sit in your unrestricted account and you play with the $40. correct me if I am wrong.

of course if you are going to be playing there anyway then just play 400 hands and grind it out.

hopefully Ill find $40 waiting for me when I get home since I havent played party for a while. fingers crossed.

[froggy527]

I got $40 10x bonus

[Feroc]

No bonus for me yet. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Bco1/75]

Your right the restriction applies to $40. you can with draw everything except $40

[Bco1/75]

Anyone have a clue how they determine who they give the free money to? Last time they gave me $20 I turned it in to $400

They stole 14 and change out of my account yesterday for the BG bonus. Today I get a $5.00 1X casino bonus.

Freakin random as fish in a tree...

[MadMat]

I took my free $40 and dumped it in about 5 hands on a random 2/4 table

That'll teach 'em to steal my backgammon bonus /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Mat

[MycroftX]

$40 for me too.

Plus another $5 for the Casino, lol.

I got that one also.

You could gambool it also on 3 10+1 SnGs and as soon as you can afford, buy into a 55+5. If you win your Bankroll = $250ish. cash out everything but $55 so that you can play the next 55er with only a $15 risk. rinse, repeat as long as it works. If you go busto with a residuum of maybe $5 gambool it up at NL until you can play at least a 10+1.

[econophile]

i got $40 in free munnies!!!! 10/20NL here i come!

[Ballers83]

I got it too. Wasted the $40 playing drunk LAG poker

[Black winter day]

I got the 40$ offer.I assumed that's because i didn't play there for a few months.
Even though i am Nl100-200 player, i decided to have fun, deposited 200$ there and played NL25 like a maniac, raising almost every hand.

Won 202$ in like 1000 hands.
Nl25 is easy /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I just sent a quick email to Party complaining about:

1) Lack of reload
2) Lack of free money
3) Lameness of monster for cash game players
4) Lameness of Sizzler for everyone
5) Double-lameness of Sizzler since the points keep changing

They replied back and I got a $50 bonus within 15 minutes.

Though, I may think it's a ploy to get me to deposit so they can take my already cashed-out backgammon bonus. I'm awaiting reply on that after complaining about them taking .95 cents out of my account for that.

Not sure exactly but this is how it appears to me (for my circumstances):

I stopped playing Party in March and fully cashed out (.40 left)

I got a $40 offer in late Apr. I didn't take it.

I got a $40 offer in late Jun. I didn't take it.

I got an a $40 offer today (almost two months later).

So it was a one month gap followed my two two-month gaps between offers with no playing in between.

My story is totally different. I got $50 x10 hands in April and took it, $50 x10 hands in June and took that too, and $40 x 10 hands two days ago and cleared it last night. In between these I play(ed) 2-3 times a week at the micros.

So I have no idea how they determine who gets it.

[HesseJam]

Same with me.

This time I got a $40 10x and I went a different route. I played 10 (8 10+1 and 2 20+2) SnGs and like 15 NL hands in between to pump the $40 up to $210 and cashed out everything. 30 min later the money hit NeTeller. So, I have no clue what the deal with the wager requirement was as it didnt apply to me.

[kcheel]

As I stated earlier, I got the $40 restricted bonus on Tuesday. But a friend of mine tells me he got a 15% to 100 max bonus yesterday.
