party poker grindload

[cvpoker]

does anyone know if we can play this $100 4x bonus or 500$ 6x bonus now or do we have to wait until aug 27 to clear the bonus as that is when the grind freeroll qualifying starts aug27. Or do we have to enter any code when depositing as it says nothing about a code just a % of your deposit


http://www.partypoker.com/news/grind/offer.html

[SlightlyMad]

From what I read, you have to grind on consecutive days to receive the bonus (starting on August 27th). Think of it like a mini-Full Tilt IronMan promotion except the number of consecutive grinding days is what matters. From what I understand, a "grinding" day must include 25 Base Party Points earned on that day. So try not to miss out on Wednesday or something ... 25 points a day should be achievable for most of us.

[Lessu]

Are you sure it's only 25 points a day? My first impression was 250 or 300 points per day for 5 days to get the one of the best reloads but that would be awful lot of play. The wording is pretty unclear in t&c imo

[Weaselgoth]

For the reloads you have to earn a minimum of 25 points per day for 3,4 or 5 consecutive days.
3days = 20% $100 4x or 50% $250 6x
4days = 25% $100 4x or 50% $500 6x
5days = 30% $100 4x or 100% $500 6x

To gain entry to all 5 freerolls you need to grind 300 points on 5 consecutive days. Grind a minumum of 25 points on 5 days in BOTH weeks for a draw ticket for the car.

[cvpoker]

yeha i think u have to play 3-5 days in a row to eqarn the reload bonus, and the more u play the better the bonus u earn, but unle4ss u play big limits looks like 100$ bonus with 5 days to clear.

[Genesis]

I miss Party promotions.

Anyway, I don't think anyone has clearly spelled out the details of the promotion.

You grind (earn 25 points per day) for consecutive days. If you get 3, 4, or 5 days in a row you are eligible for a reload bonus.

You then get to choose either option 1 (4x bonus) or option 2 (6x bonus). You don't get multiple bonuses.

This is where the real grind begins.

4x bonuses must earn 4 points for each bonus dollar, and must be complete within 5 days.
Max $100 bonus = 400 points in 5 days.

6x bonuses must earn 6 points for each bonus dollar, and must be complete within 3 days.
Max $500 bonus = 3000 points in 3 days.

[SlightlyMad]

That's a clearer reading of the T&Cs than the one that I had this morning.

It looks like the reload is intended to be played out on the second week of the promotion. So, just freerolls for the first week, a deposit bonus for the second week, and, of course, Mini tickets if you grind for 5 consecutive days both weeks.

At least you're able to select the level that you want to try for. That's cool.

[WhatDoesCallMean]

nits of the (free)world unite /images/graemlins/cool.gif

party is gonna be so much fun over the next 2 weeks /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Rainclouds]

This is one of the better promo's ever. I like it!

Since this promo is geared towards higher volume players, I suspect this promo is made to lure back the high volume players who left party after they lost their unmentionable.

Anyway, I'm gonna go for the 7,5K grindrolls and the 30% up to $100 bonuses. The $500 bonuses are undoable for an SSNLer like me.

[Mr. Wishbone]

3k points in three days? Awesome.

[1968]

the email I got doesn't mention anything about reload bonuses.. where does it say that?

[Womble]

Anyone know how many hands 1k points/day works out to be at 100nl/200nl/400nl etc?


Im thinking about 5k hands at 200nl but havent got much data there

I did the $100 bonus yesterday. 600 points took 3993 hands at 100NL/6max. 1000 points should be about 6700 hands.

I'd guess closer to 4k hands for 200NL.

I also didn't get the reload offer in my email. Where do you all read this?

Ok i think I understand all of this promo apart from one thing. Do we get two reload bonuses, for example week one i grind for 3 to 5 days get a bonus. Then week 2 i grind for 3-5 days do i get another bonus now?

Sounds like a good promo, Im away for the first 3 days unfortunately so just 3 days for me, reckon i will take the $250 bonus. Week 2 i might just rinse repeat as im away the following weekend.

I play 4,000 hands yesterday all on $2/$4NL and got 1,300 base points.

[SlightlyMad]

To me, it seems that the Grindload offer is given to you after you've proven your mettle in week 1. (Of course, I emailed Party 24 hours ago about this question, no response.)

I don't believe they are going to offer an additional Grindload after week 2; after all, there are raffle tickets for the Mini and another full set of freerolls for September 9th which is the final day of the promotion.

[Kriber13]

I got an unrelated question but I post it here because you're all party players, and here we go...
Do the game time table in pokertracker work for you guys after the 1970 update? I cant find any tables to choose from in the drop down menu although the hands are imported into the database. If not do PAHUD work after the client update?

Thanks a bunch, Kristoffer

[Maksim]

Is it standart points only needed for this bonus?

[1968]

all the freerolls are on at early hours of Monday morning for Australians.. couldn't they at least spread them out.. They have timed it well for US players that can't even play on the site.. wtf

[Ajezz]

For the reloads you have to earn a minimum of 25 points per day for 3,4 or 5 consecutive days.
3days = 20% $100 4x or 50% $250 6x
4days = 25% $100 4x or 50% $500 6x

how do I get the bonus now? I played for 50 pts for 3 days but I don't see a bonus code or anything.

[ninenine_zoe]

i asked partypoker bout that.
i seriously thought i could grind for 3 days, deposit and grind/clear the bonus for the next 2 days /images/graemlins/tongue.gif --> 5 days grinded but:

[canadiensfan66]

whats better doing the grindload on party for $500 bonus, +pts from deuce level or getting 60% RB?

[callme]

As far as the T&C say about the grindroll stuff - yes, so probably the same about the grindload

[darkcore]

that would be awesome. but i'll wait and see. where talking about party afterall.

[Falc]

Yeah, that would be crazy. $1000 for 8100 partypoints (if my math's correct) plus 12 freerolls plus a chance at the mini! But probably to good to be true.

[Weaselgoth]

There is only one grindLOAD and 2 sets of grindROLLS. The tables have been jammed all week its been fun. Shame I'm a fish really but never mind I'm learning.

[Falbrav]

I took the $100 bonus and the offer of the $500 bonus is still there so it looks as if you may be able to get both

[ShuffleNDeal]

The expiry date is 03-Sep-07 23:59 ET. But my question is if how many days do i got after i have done the deposit. Is it 7 days, or something else?

[Maksim]

1 - 4X in 5 day
2 - 6X in 3 day

[getsky]

what the hell.

so I deposit 1000 to take advantage of the 50% up to 500 bonus @ 6x points.

now I only have 3 FRICKEN DAYS to clear it at 100NL

Slightly impossible don't ya think.

maybe I should 12 table nl400 or something

sigh...now I am going to lose money on the god damn transaction fees

[1C5]

hahah yep, I play 100nl also and am just going for the $100 bonus as there is no way I would clear it.

How many hands of 100nl to clear the 500 bonus? an insane amount i am guessing...

[zaephyr]

25k hands i think

[foppa69]

NL400 i need 10k hands in 4 days to clear 3000p. It is 2500 for day. If i play 5 tables 400 hands per hour, over 6 hours per day average, but hey thats grindz....

[PartyScout]

IM actaully playing in 4 grindroll donkaments /images/graemlins/grin.gifLOLZ im gonna win me a wii /images/graemlins/wink.gif

so fkn annoying they give you 3 days to do the $500 100% bonus.. no way im clearing 3000 points in three days..

[melange]

NL400 i need 10k hands in 4 days to clear 3000p.

[/ QUOTE ]


For the 500$ bonus they say 3000 points in "3 days", but it's actually almost 4 days if you deposit early in the day right? For example, say you deposit on Monday 2am, you have Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu (till 1159pm) to clear it? Or just Mon-Tue-Wed?

[tufat23]

i havent found it that tough. after day 1:

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/tufat23/andy/untitled-17.jpg


i did drop 3k chasing so far tho /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Falc]

tufat, did you first deposit for the $500 bonus and then the $100 one?

[1C5]

probably as after i did the 100 one, the 500 one is still there for me. but there is no way i am going to do it at 100nl.

600nl and it wouldnt be bad as tufat said. even 400nl shouldnt be that bad.

[Falc]

I deposited for the $500 earlier today, and the $100 one was still there for me so I deposited for that one too and it worked, so I have both now.

1C5, you could just deposit like $200-300 or so for the $500 one. That way you could clear it at NL100 aswell.

[jukofyork]

[/ QUOTE ]
Yep, I've also managed to get them both - big thanks to Party's incompetence! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just make sure you go for the 100% one first as that only has 3 days to clear - then you will still have 2 days to clear the remaining 400 points for the stacked 30% one... By then you will have all but 200 points cleared for next week's grindrolls (and bonuses if we lucky).

Juk /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[1C5]

i forgot about the tournaments on sunday, did any of you play them and how were they? how many players?

i have to make sure to try to play them next sunday.

falc, yeah i may do that, thanks.

[Falc]

I played all six (?) of them. Cashed in the 20k one for $150 (out in 27th, AK < AQ /images/graemlins/frown.gif ).

The $20k one had 235 entrants or so and top 100 got paid ($100) so it's definately worth playing them. Altho the lowest ones are only worth it if you make the FT since the payouts are so small.

1C5, Just make sure you deposit before it expires.

Just noticed it today it is actually four days since the las day count as a whole day, could have started out a bit slower....

[1C5]

as a side note 100nl seems a lot tougher, like even more aggro than stars 100nl and many regs at all my tables.

not the fish party it used to be, thats forsure.

Hi Bitch,

Dear Player,

Due to a technical issue, you were not registered in the $5K GRINDROLL tournament that ran last Sunday at 14:40ET.

We apologize for that mistake and as a gesture of our good will, we have added $25 to your account.

Sorry for the inconvenience

266 in the 12.5k and 984 in the 7.5k, close to 2000 in the lower ones, don't have other exact figures.

Are there tournaments at the end of week 2 as well? They are really early in the morning here in Oz, but if only that many qualify, then it might be worth getting up early!

The cash prizepool in the 20k grindroll was short with about $3600. Compared to last week it looks like the money has been removed from places 21-100, so if you cashed here you should send party a mail and ask to be credited with the correct amount.

Wow, they screwed up with about everything.

Letting players take both reloads in the first week, vip hosts promising a non-existing reload for the second week, tournaments freezing up, incorrect prize pools....

.. which brings me to the following question: when - if it's happening anyway - will the car draw be taking place? Nothing in their T&C's about the date&time on that.

Last week there was a frozen table during the top 20 as well - anyone know how they compensated the people on the non-frozen table?

Everyone on the frozen table makes the final table while only one person on the non-frozen table makes it. Completely retarded.

[1968]

so there is no reload bonus for the second week?.. I sent party an email about it and they conveniently ignored that part of my question..

[PartyScout]

Juk,

I believe that our accounts gets credited with $400 and if we want the wii we need to email them inside of 7days otherwise they just release the $400 restriced funds from our account.

I decided to accept the cash as i was planning on selling the wii as a few friends have them and dont have time for computer games really.Also they dont sell for much more then £200 on E-Bay so no point /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yep, I'm just gonna cash mine as also don't play computer games much anymore, but I just can't seem to see the $400 listed on my account page. Can you see yours listed somewhere? I've sent Party an e-mail but as always they are soooooo slow to reply...

Juk /images/graemlins/smile.gif

No,cant see it as yet.Like you said it should show but it doesn't.I have not emailed them yet maybe i will wait untill you get a response.PM me with the response please when you get it.Im sure it's all cool as PP never stiff no1.All about the table image /images/graemlins/smile.gif

As said on T&C's withing 7days if we dont request a Wii we should recieve the full amount in cash into our accounts.So i make this another 6days before it's worth me bothering to email them /images/graemlins/wink.gif

After the farcical mess Party has made of the Grind promotion, I don't trust them not to just forget... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I've also asked about the date of the drawing for the Mini, as there doesn't seem to be any mention of it anywhere in the T&C.

Will post when they reply.

Did they ever do the $40K draw?

They are very quiet about it.

The $40K is the money equivalent for the Mini Cooper S Cabrio, for which they were going to have a prize draw at the end of the promo for everyone who made the grind in both weeks. I haven't heard anything about it ever since.

I sent them an email about this on the 8th, and they responded:

"Please note that the Mini Cooper winner will be announce on September 10th on www.partypoker.com (http://www.partypoker.com) (news section)."

I've been checking every so often - but still no announcement...
I've just sent another email asking for an update...

[oliverm]

just got their response

"Thank you for contacting Customer Service. Im sorry for the delay, the name of the winner will be published on the website www.partypoker.com (http://www.partypoker.com) within 48 hours. Please check the website for information. "

[Rainclouds]

48 hours gone and still nothing on the website. I don't see why they need so much time for it anyway.

To me it seems like the draw has never taken place, which makes it false advertising.

Does anyone know if someone/who won the Porsche Boxster draw from Party's Jul 02 - July 25 promotion (25 party points)?

Another 48 hours and still nothing... The way Party didn't list when the draw was gonna take place in the T&C makes me think it's not gonna ever happen...

This grind promotion has left such a bad taste with me.

I sent them another email this time yesterday asking for an update on the draw and have not got a response. I also think the draw is not happening.

FYI -

I got burnt the first week of the grind.
On the second day, I realised I was about 15 points short of my 50 day target with an hour to go for the day. so I jump on 4 tables. I closed one before 12:00 and the other three a minute or so after. I check my points balance and the points for the tables I closed in the new day went to the new day, and leaving me short for the tuesday.

So I sent them an email asking what is going on? and could they transfer those points, which were earned actualy playing on the tuesday back to the tuesday.
They responded saying it was a known problem, and will be fixed within 48 hours.....

So I send them the follow up email after 3 days of no change asking whats going on. This time they respond by saying, no everything is working as it should be. Points are allocated to the day you close tables, and because you closed them on the wednesday etc....

My email asking where does it say this in any of the faq or t&c's and why was I sent an email saying there is a known problem. Then letting me go on and play the rest of the week went unanswered.

Even though I made a profit from it, I just spent too much time on this promotion. I play poker for a hobby, when I want to, this felt like work the whole time. I realise this is the definition of grind, but add to this the way party handled my situation and now this draw scam I just feel like a sucker.

Thanks for reading.

Beat:Currently frozen final tables /images/graemlins/mad.gif

[/ QUOTE ]
Were you in the 12.5k too? Any idea on what they gonna do about it?

[/ QUOTE ]


Last week there was a frozen table during the top 20 as well - anyone know how they compensated the people on the non-frozen table?

Everyone on the frozen table makes the final table while only one person on the non-frozen table makes it. Completely retarded.

[/ QUOTE ]



I emailed vip support about this, and they compensated me by giving me 100$ no strings attached. We each lost on avg ~400$ of value but i guess i can't really complain, i expected 0 compensation from party. :P

So if you were on a table that got shafted either week in the Top 20, get your compensation.

Seems like the Mini promotion was really a scam after all and Party seems to be hoping that nobody notices... It all seems very underhand, and possibly fraudulent, to me.

I dunno, i don't see how a legit company could get away with that. For now i'm banking it's just email support incompetence, but i won't let this go quietly either if no one reports good news in this thread.

[oliverm]

I finally received a response from Party upon sending another email yesterday asking who the winner of the Mini Cooper was.

"Dear Oliver, Thank you for contacting us. The lucky winner of the Mini Cooper from the grind promotion is "PostFlopWTF" The details shall be posted on the site soon!"

[Rainclouds]

A quick google search brought up that PostFlopWTF also won the Party BBJ earlier this year. Life ain't fair. Well, at least the winner truly exists.

Well either you got this wrong or im very disturbed...

My VIP host emailed me in regards to another matter and also mentioned this...

"The Mini Cooper Grindroll has been announed, pp_monkeyfever was the
winner. "

So they tell me.

Anyone else heard any diffrent. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Lessu]

It could be his login and the other one his screenname.

So either they have 2 winners or they aren't going to award it at all or this person won it and they just told everyone his login+screenname. wp party
