That sounds like Party, but I see nothing when I log in. Can you give a link or more details?

Is this +EV if I suck donkey balls at backgammon? I'm guessing no.

Is this reload bonus or bonus for new backgammon players?

It is + EV. You have to wager $3500. You can play 50 cent/Point - Limit $500. 7 Games to clear the full Bonus.
10 Minutes for me.

You should create a 0.5/$500 game and wait for a player.

10 Minutes for me.
Two quick questions if anyone if willing to help out...
1) Can I signup for a different acct than I use at Party Poker?
2) I don't play much Backgammon -- what does Limit $500 mean? Does it mean a point is worth 50c and you can keep doubling until you reach $500? If so, can you just reject the double, lose the game and thereby clear $500 of the bonus even while putting on 50c "at risk"?
Thanks if anyone is willing to answer.

Fullhouse,
another question--
the "limit" you slect is not what you are actually wagering, correct? it is just a theoretical max?
also, to create a .50 / 500max game you need to throw in 500 and not 400 into your account, correct?

Let me get this straight. The most I can possibly lose is $3.50, for a net profit of $96.50?
Isn't this too good to be true?

Can someone confirm if playing Seven 0.5/$500 games actually counts as wagering $3500? I.e. has someone who does this received the bonus?

It don't change the WR but you can only play with a $400 Limit and you need one more game to clear the bonus.

Yeah. And depositing just $500 isn't enough, because if you go below $500 you can't create a game or play in a game with a $500 limit. Depositing $503 will cover everything and you'll cashout $600.

Easiest $100 ever. I'd say it takes maybe 5 minutes, because you don't even need to play the full games (just hit the doubling cube right off). I doubt that this $1200/hr rate will be around for long, so if you haven't yet, get on board.
Thanks, OP!

that seems extremely odd. I'd try logging out and logging back in, opening your account page again, etc. maybe refresh your browser? I'm sure you've tried all these things, though. Every time party credits me a bonus the exact same thing happens, then it pops up.
Anyway, this bonus was easy and fun. It was so fun that I have been tempted to play some low-stakes games, though I think I'll try a tournament to get a certain # of games with limited risk, because I don't know exactly when to offer my opponent a double when I'm ahead.

Yeah...gotta move on this quickly.
Also I'd recommend playing your games through reasonably (rather than just double/resign on 2nd move, etc., which is the equivalent of folding ~700 consecutive hands to clear a poker bonus).
Up $102 on the whole deal. That's it, I'm goin' pro!

This is great. It seems to be working. Be sure to deposit more than $500, because if you lose right away, you won't have sufficient funds to play in a $500 max game.
EDIT: Done! I went 3 and 4.

sounds like me. never played the game before (not once) i just lost every game, asked for doubles to decline, etc. i tried messin' around a tad just for fun but i was totally cluelesss.
odd, i can switch to different forms of poker without any prior experience and have moderate success (hold my own) but this is different

Thanks to the 2+2ers who took some time to show me the basics of how to actually play Backgammon.. Interesting game. Best bonus ever!! Only thing that came close was getting $90 for Mansion when you could still bet $50 in the casino to get the $90, and betting $24 on red, $24 on black, and $2 on 0 was allowed to clear this.

I couldn't see any indicator of the bonus in the client program, even though there were places for the bonus to appear. However, it appeared on the account web page under the bonus details tab.

WTF?? That was so easy I feel guilty. I even tried to play the games out but my opponent kept trying to double the stakes and I just kept rejecting. Took about 15 minutes to clear the $100. Thanks 2+2!

So do we think that this is a bug with the software or did 2+2 just figure out the easiest way to clear this bonus? If it's not an error or bug and this was ok, then there is no way Party is going to pull this bonus.
If it was an error, then this is what? The third bonus that Party has completely screwed up and left themselves vulnerable to be taken advantage of...First it was the one month early this year where you could use ALL of the targeted bonuses. Then there was the TopBucks fiasco and now this Party Gammon thing.
PokerStars who?

Hey, if I go through http://partygammon.com/ and make account, does it have any effect on Party Poker... Since I dont have account yet on Party, and I would like to go though some affiliate when I open Party Poker account. Is this Party bgammon "same" with PP?
If somebody could confirm this, it would be nice. (Sorry bad english)

I'm pretty sure that you use the exact same account for PartyPoker, PartyGammon, and PartyCasino. So if you're going to open a poker account through an affiliate for some reason that must not be spoken of, you might want to pass on this one.

We have all obviously disliked the monster promotion. But, with the $100 casino bonus last week, and now this one for backgammon, it seems like the party organization is at least continuing the random $100 bonuses that we all enjoy so much. Hopefully a $100 poker bonus will be coming out "next Thursday"
Also, big thanks to OP for finding this and telling everyone how to do it, especially those of us with no clue of how to play backgammon!

Its only poor that anyone play it with 500 max. Instead a " possible" monthly reload from 100, Party close the door now.
Hoped ou are not that greedy and cleared it with 30-50 max:)

The terms and conditions page says that I may not cash out money within the bonus period in order to get the deposit bonus afterwards. Without withdrawing money from my PP account, I don't have $500 available. What can I do?

You only need to deposit $400. You just need to have over $500 available in your partyaccount.

I have $500 available in my party account. But in order to re-deposit the money, I would have to withdraw it first and that would make it impossible for me to get the bonus (according to the terms & conditions). As I am from Europe, I don't have any $ except for the money in PP and a little in Neteller. A Bank transfer would take days and cost a lot of money... So, it is really not possible to withdraw and then re-deposit? Has anyone tried it so far?

Yes you can withdraw and deposit with your Party account, I guess as long as you're not using the Backgammon program. That's what I did and it worked out fine.

No they aren't
I did a couple of bonuses at play65.com, they make you play a set number of games to clear the bonus at any stakes - think it was 100 games for $100, but as they have games for 0.25 it was still +EV

Easiest bonus ever, thanks a lot to OP.
I can report, that the offered $0.5/500 games are very soft, and if you dont have any backgammon skills being the first to double often works wonders.
I made an easy 7-0 (although i only doubled when i was winning anyway).
Running out of time loses the game by the way, one of my opps did this.
The reason for not accepting a resignation might be a chance to make a gammon, which doubles the value of the game (So probably running out of time with a gammon chance costs twice also).

Yes, you need at least $500 to play a 500 max game, so you actually need to deposit MORE than 500 to ensure you dont' dip below 500. I deposited 600.

you don't *have* to play $500 max games tho (although of course it goes faster if you do.) you'll hopefully see a few people also starting $300 and $400 max games, perhaps because they have smaller BR or no money at party other than the bonus deposit.
while i'm here i want to also say best.bonus.ever!!

Okay, auxillary question:
If you deposit $500 for this bonus and leave the deposit for 8 days will you get the 1000 PartyPoints?
I'm thinking 'yes', because it is going into your PartyAccount, right?

Why? Do you really think Party is going to take the money back? This isn't a "cabin downgrade" scam. You are clearing a bonus.
I keep hundreds in Party every day for playing. Am I going to cash it all out on the miniscule chance Party tries to renege on their own stated T & C's?

That was easy money, thanks for the heads up.
A couple of tips for complete noobs like me.
1. In the top left corner is a ticked box that will auto-roll the dice for you.
2. If somebody offers you a double decline then on to the next game!
Sweet!

Why on earth do people keep posting things like this. Learn to play the game! The reason he won't accept your resignation is because he thinks he can gammon you for double stakes, and in such a situation, he shouldn't accept your resignation. Just play the game out, and let him try for gammon. If he offers to double you will get your chance to resign. Otherwise it's an extra 2 minutes of you life.
Judging other's attitudes about the game when you have no idea what you are doing makes you the douchebag. It's a lot like saying 'OMG some douchebag just went all-in on me and now I can't see the turn and river for free'
AND... for all of you automatically resigning all doubles, you are idiots. You should play this bonus accepting a max loss of $7. Many times, you should accept doubling offers.
Sigh. Then again, I suspect many of you have no idea what you are even doing at all so whatever, decline all doubles.. but it's usually incredibly stupid.
Please people, just go online and read for a few minutes. Learn to play, even a little. Even just learning the rules would be good.

Ummm.. no
Not when saying you should occasionally accept doubles is tantamount to saying you should occasionally call bets in poker
When did people stop caring at all about proper strategy? I mean I know this is a bonus forum, but come on.
If it still makes you a profit, do you play all your poker bonuses by folding every hand too?

To all the good backgammon players out there, I have a suggestion for how to make about $500 in a very short time, over and over again.
Offer games to all the obvious whores but change the initial stake to $500. They'll check yes very quickly without even looking, and might even be nice enough to open resign. If not, should still be pretty easy to beat players who have no idea what they are doing.
Real Backgammon players must really be loving this promo.
