Gentlemen, a few questions about Party

[USCSigma1097]

Gentlemen,

Sorry if this has been discussed in this forum, but I was unable to find my question using the search function.

I have been playing SNG's at Party for awhile, but I have now taken my NL play there as well. I ten table the 100NL and 200NL, and I logged about 15K hands there last week.

I have read about the VIP offers and what not, and I am not sure of the status of the "unmentionable" there, but I would like to know if there is any way to get a piece of my play back from party.

I have seen several posts where users were offered X dollars for Y hands of play. How does one go about getting one of these offers?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

Rakeback is against Party Poker's terms and conditions.

you can email vip@partypoker.com
and ask them what it will take to get into the VIp club.
Once your in, you will get (or should get) popups that will give you x amount of dollars for xxx amount of points generated

The minimum qualifying criteria for the VIP club is $1000 MGR. At the limits you mentioned, I'm sure you'll have no trouble, but if you've only recently been putting in those hands, Party may take a month to gauge your play before accepting you.

At this point, limit players seem to be getting the better offers and some of those offers are quite nice. Unfortunatly NL players' offers are not comparable at similar stakes. This may be in part due to the Party Points configuration where NL players at any stakes earn a paltry amount compared to limit players. When Party makes a points for cash bonus offer, the bonuses clear much easier playing (med/high) limit games.

The VIP program is still evolving. Whereas a few months ago players were misinformed, ignored, or otherwise kept confused because offers were all over the map(if there was an offer at all), Party seems to be figuring it out slowly and I believe they are doing that by looking at each players MGR along with their points earned in a particular time period and coming out with offers accordingly.

As far as affilate based incentives, one need only look in the Rakeback/Affiliate forum to learn that they do in fact exist. I'm not one of the partakers so you're on your own there.

Best Wishes at the tables,

S&SGW

I emailed them at vip@partypoker.com today telling them i'd paid 3k in rake this month and asking if I could be considered for the vip program. Ten minutes (!) later they sent me this back:
