Party: "Pick Your Prize" promotion

[jukofyork]

Just noticed this (http://www.partypoker.com/news/items/pick_prize.html), but as with everything run by Party it doesn't make much sense...

So it appears as though you gain some points and then get entered into a MTT, but then you click on the "special" link in the payout column and the T&C don't seem to relate in any way to whats on the other page as it now doesn't mention the tournaments and starts talking about qualifying for a "cash prize". Then to totally top the lot it has this as one of the T&C: "Any Cash Prize not claimed before 23:59 hrs ET on April 20, 2007 will be forfeited".

Good old Party... I'm just waiting for the day where they actually run a promotion without [censored] something up... Juk /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It looks like they've fixed the T&C page and it doesn't mention anything about cash prizes now.

Perhaps I can't count, but it seems that they've switched the $25k ("$2k", but that's just a typo) and $15k freeroll payout structures in the T&C and the prize pools are $14250 and $22500 anyway, not exactly what's advertised (didn't check the $10k).

...actually, they screwed up the tables for grind freerolls too so it's probably not me who can't count.

[traz]

I noticed this as well. Anyone know what cash prizes we can claim for each tournie? I can't make out from the site

[traz]

OH, is it that we can sign up for multiple tournies, or save up for one big tournie? Is that the idea behind pick your prize?

[luckychancer]

Pick what prize? Getting into a freeroll with no guarentee to win anything is not picking a prize.

I don't know what problem you all have. As a public company, Party Gaming releases an annual report.

In it, they say how wonderful their marketing and promotions are, so your issues with them must be your own fault. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yep, and even then the equity of the prize is too piffling to care about: 3000 players with a fund of $25k is a super-crappy $8.33 in equity...

EDIT: Since it's only "standard points" that count, then an Ace level player will have earned 2000 party points to get entry into the $25k freeroll (which if cashed, are worth $20). So the party points are actaully worth ~2.5x more than the freeroll itself!

[PartyScout]

Any body know the prize funding for the 25k? there was 18k in packages 6 x $3k packages so i assume theres $7k to be dished out.I read that the $15 11th place gets $200 so hopefully im due more than this:)

I just sent an email to my VIP host:

Someone know the email address of the personal Host when we are a Ace vip player?
Or the fastest way to get a answer about a promotion?


About the Tourney promo they have now
it is quite stupid to see that
the poeple who will play the 10K and 15K tourney
have better chance of winning something interesting
than the player in the 25K
because there is 3 time less player in the 15K

I am qualify for the 25K but i want to play in the 10-15K

I want to write to them if it is possible to do so

[PartyScout]

Thats why their Personal hosts,there not going to respond to anybody not on thier caseloads i guess so pointless excercise.

Just email support there fast anyways
