Anyone know if this is legit or if they autorenew it or if there are more fees, etc, etc... if not, this seems like an easy thing to do, 80 dollar net bonus, plus a T shirt, ha

Only thing that would keep this from being a hot deal would be if it was a 20x bonus or some crap.

Bueller???

Edit, heres the URL ... Spam? (http://www.pokerplayersalliance.com)

[cgwahl]

I smell scam.


EDIT: Did some searching on it...may be a legit organization, but I would still wary of anything I would have to donate to.

[HSB]

That's pretty smart actually.

I'm sure this alliance is going to take some funds for administrative fees and send the rest to a political action committee that just happens to have an office right next door and a name like Poker Players Alliance Action Committee. They end up getting thousands of members and party poker just shifts some of their political spending to bonus spending.

I would guess the chances are it's legit and that you'll be seeing it every four months or so

[krazyace5]

I don't see anything about the party bonus.

[RiverTheNuts]

It popped up for me on the deposit confirmation screen when I deposited for my 15% to 75 bonus just 15 minutes ago... the one that usually says like "Transaction successful - Set your own limits" or some garbage I never pay attention to.

[Parlay Slow]

Just opened up my PPA membership. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

[fluff]

FWIW, PPA seems like a legit organization. Linda Johnson is apparently on the Board of Directors. Here is a Cardplayer article about them:

http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_news/detail.php?p_id=608

If indeed they are, and you have a stake in the legality of poker/online poker, might be a good idea to join.

Edit: Hah, they accept Firepay and Neteller for their membership fee!

[Mustbeblufin]

There was an article on PPA in this week's Cardplayer so I think it is legit.

[Parlay Slow]

OK just got this bonus. It's a 7x bonus.

[RiverTheNuts]

nice... its confirmed then.. Ill be doing this shortly... did you buy the 15 or 20 dollar membership... and did it say anything about renewing it?

[peregrine]

Is this for anyone or do you need to get a pop=up or e-mail?

It's not a pop-up. Just deposit, and put your 10 digit registration code in the bonus code field.

FWIW, mine showed up as "elapsed" eventhough it has an expiry of 30 days from now, but from past experience this can usually be cleared up with an e-mail to support.

[festeringZit]

I entered the 10 digit code, and didn't get the bonus.
I called party poker, and they are saying that
it's for 1st time deposits at party only.

I had to call party because it initated in 'elapsed' status. They fixed it for me though.

[synth_floyd]

The bonus comes up as PPABONUS or something like that in the PP bonus page, right? Has anyone tried to just make a deposit using that as the code? I'm not sure if I want to join Party Poker's lobby group.

[bigballz]

Is the extra $5 worth it?

[Luxorr]

FYI I also got the "elapsed" bonus when I used my registration code. I called support and they told me that it was because I had cashed out within 15 days and this was a cash out restricted bonus and they were unable to credit me with the bonus money.I made a cash out last week. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

It isn't Party Poker's group. If you want to give any other entity ownership, it is more closely related to Card Player.

They guy you got your call was obviously wrong. If you still have the bonus in the "Elapsed" column, just play dumb and call again, or e-mail. Past experience with Party is you'll get different result from different people.

[umdpoker]

how long is this offer active? i looked at their webpage, and see nothing about this offer.

[Macint0sh]

So, is it only for first time deposits or for all?

[cwes]

Worked for me. It wasn't my first time deposit. I didn't withdraw in the last 15 days.

[gyaawax]

Hi...Im new to this forum...on the first post i noticed it said click here...but there was no link available for me...if its nto too much trouble can someone please send me the link of Poker Players Alliance where you sign up...thank you in advance

[MrEngenic]

Worked for me, just cleared it.

[aLOWdAkING]

ugh, what do i do about this?


The "PPABONUS" has become active from 23rd November. As per the standard terms and conditions of the bonus promotion, if you cash out any amount from your PartyPoker.com account after 23rd November, but prior to making a qualifying deposit, you become ineligible for the deposit bonus.

I have checked the records and see that you have made a cashout of $2317 on 23-NOV-2005 03:22:11 and then you made a deposit of $500 on 23-NOV-2005 19:23:37 using the bonus code, PPABONUS(which is the qualifying deposit after the cashout being requested).

Hence, as one of the terms and conditions of the bonus promotion was not followed, you account was not issued with the bonus "PPABONUS".

Thanks! Nice with an extra 85 $ bonus for christmaspresents.....to myself!

[Roy6]

so the bonus code to use is PPABONUS or is it different for everyone?

[markoman]

Do i actually have to sign up with PokerPlayers Alliance to receive the 20% bonus? Or can I just use the code PPABONUS code and forget about signing up with pokersplayers alliance?

[darkcore]

the bonuscode is different for everyone & you have to sign up with paa.

[Mogobu The Fool]

Signed up with PPA for $20 (full member with T-Shirt), got my registration code, used the code for a deposit, got my $100 bonus, all after a withdrawal.

26-NOV-05 Deposit Bonus $100 495######
25-NOV-05 PURCHASE $500 494######
24-NOV-05 Cashout $2500 492######

No more yammering. Go support PPA. I may give them the other $80, and I'll ask other players to support the cause, too. I don't want online poker illegal, and I don't want home games busted up.

Stop harassing citizens and wasting law enforcement's time and energy!

[Rock_Potato]

When joining the PPA, enter the code "CP10Y" and you will be upgraded to the $20 full membership. Get a free t-shirt too.

Come on; it's a good cause!

[MrX]

When I made my last neteller deposit, Neteller asked me if I wanted to join and mentioned the bonus.

X

[lazyweasel]

I made the deposit, the bonus showed up , but it's been saying elapsed and not showing raked hands ever since. And I'm being completely stonewalled by Party customer support. Proceed with caution on this bonus - many other people had the same issues.

[Doc]

This thing still active?

Thanks,

Doc

[luvmick]

Yes, I signed up & deposited today. Made a withdrawal on 11/23, but bonus is pending (not elapsed).

[R.J.]

I have a question, if i make a withdrawal tomorrow and then deposit would i still get this considering that the bonus is still active?

[otter]

The alliance costs $15/year if I remember reading correctly, doesn't it?

[People_Mover]

awesome, it still works and you get a shirt!

[zabt]

I've looked around the PartyPoker website (what a joy) but can't findout whather SNG play counts toward bonuses. Anyone know. And, if so, how it works?

Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately, no. SNG play gains you 'party points', so if you have a bonus that says "earn 225 party points and receive $30!" then it will work, but regular deposit bonuses like this one, you get nothing for SNG play.

[peregrine]

I joined PPA but there was no mention of a Party bonus. Do I just deposit and enter my registration # in the bonus code? Did others get instructions or an offer when they signed up? There was nothing indicating anything about the Party bonus.

[peregrine]

Never mind. Just used reg # and all went well.

[Ainex]

No you don't get the offer when you sign up but if you make a deposit to PP the confirmation screen has it. Just use your PPA 10 digit account # as the bonus code.

[PatInTheHat]

I had also made withdrawls from Party on the 23rd and 24th however this bonus was active for me.

[dDiabolical]

I currently have a 20% to $100 bonus that I'm eligible for at Party. If I sign up at PPA and do this bonus can I then withdraw and still use the current bonus I'm eligible for, or will I become ineligible?

[PokerAmateur4]

When's this ish expire plz?

[lazyweasel]

Watch out on this bonus. Party screwed me. I made the deposit, it's been showing up as "elapsed" since the day one and I havn't heard a single word back from customer support. So I'm just out 20 bucks. I hope PPA & PP choke on my $20.

[/ QUOTE ]

This happened to many people, and support corrected it for most (if not all) of them. Try emailing/calling them again. I am almost positive you will get your bonus.

On another note, PPA has nothing to do with Party's crappy bonus system that marks bonuses as elapsed.

Check the T&C. A lot of these say if you make any withdrawal during the bonus period, you lose the bonus. Each of them is different, you'll have to determine which ones you have and which order to play them.

[pokergrader]

Just for a current update:

I just did this about 5 minutes ago, registered for the $20 membership and paid through neteller. Put the 10 digit reg code as the bonus, and partypoker gave me a 7x 30day $100 bonus under the code PPABONUS.

Bonus Pending, everything worked perfectly.

[livinitup0]

Beware of this...Party told me that I was not eligible for this bonus, and I would not be paid out on it!!!

[darkcore]

could you please elaborate why you are not eligible for this promo?

[PrincipalSkinner]

Of course you asked WHY you were not eligible, didn't you?
Sooooooo, why not?

[parappa]

Worked fine for me. Showed up as pending.

[Goat_boy]

[Goat_boy]

thanks - will have to try again

[grouchie]

Trying to sign up for this
Get to the bottom of the first page to select my payment type.

I select Neteller and it takes me to the page to fill out my credit card info.

I cannot seem to get it to let me use the neteller option.

anyone else?

[Luzion]

Everything worked fine for me. Signed up w/ the $15 option and used the code that someone provided to upgrade myself to Full Membership. Deposited $500 after getting my membership code and got my $100 bonus.

[BigBluffer]

Can anyone get to the PPA website www.pokerplayersalliance.org (http://www.pokerplayersalliance.org) ? I've been trying for a couple of hours this morning and keep getting the old "The page cannot be displayed" error. This could simply mean they've got their servers offline for some maintenance. Or, it could be more ominous. (maybe they were busted by the Feds -- wouldn't that be ironic!)

Anyone?

[MuckinWinners]

It pops right up for me whether I type player or players

A little late to this thread, but better late than never.

The Poker Players Alliance is a real non-profit organization and is very much needed to help defend the game of poker both online and offline.
They need members and donations to effectively lobby for the game of poker to be regulated both online and offline as oppose to prohibited. The board includes poker pioneers such as Linda Johnson, Jan Fisher, Greg Dinkin and Mary Magazine who are committed to keeping the game of poker respectable and legal. Poker is an American tradition that needs protection and that is what the Poker Players Alliance has been organized to do. The threat to poker is real and the Poker Players Alliance is not a scam; it needs members and donations so please sign up. You can join for as little as $15 and there are no recurring fees or dues, although additional donations are welcomed.
