Thank you for contacting us.

I would like to inform you that there will be no changes in Red Carpet Promotion. All the point you have earned will be automatically redeemed and cash amount will be placed on your account on October 17.
You can cash out any or all of the balance in your PartyAccount at any time. However, once the bill is signed into law, we will suspend accepting further deposits from US players until such time as we offer other products and services to our US customer base for which deposits would be used.

Should you have any questions or feedbacks please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. We are here to do for you, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.


Kind regards

Olga

So they are just suspending deposits on US accounts until they find new ways to fund them? Sorry if this has already been posted

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Wait, i could have sworn no more then 2 hours ago they said they were suspending accounts from being able to wager.

Now its just depositing?

This could be good

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

I assume they are going to offer hardcore fantasy sports games. Allowing thousand dollar and greater bets. This will make the US Govt wonder wtf they made any exemptions.

Well if Olga says so, it must be true.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

It's a party email. I't doesn't mean anything and if you send again them the exact same email you sent them that generated this response it is very possible you will get a completly different ansnwer.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

This is a HUGE find!!! They were VERY EXPOSED with IGM-Pay so I understand the shut down now. They must be seeing all the loopholes in the law and are crafting the next version of IGM-Pay or a 3rd Party solution.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Sounds like party is just going to roll out other "legal" services and once the funds are deposited you will be able to transfer them to the poker room...

This looks like really good news...if anyone has more info on this please post. Might actually be time to buy some party stock.

Party is so stupid. I wouldnt believe a email response they give me until it wa proven some way. Their word is worth nothing.

I responded back for clarification, but from my understanding it means if you have money in your account at the time the bill is signed you can still play poker, just can't make any more deposits

I just got an email from Nikolas saying the same thing

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Yes, definitely is hope.


But how freaking idiotic is Party for letting so many KNOW that they will be cutting off their American customers 'indefinitely' and not clarifying some of these not so insignificant details on their own.


I mean, it kind of snuck out there in an e-mail from party customer-service. Shouldn't they be TELLING their freaking customers what they are going to be doing???




NewsFlash:
Party is making no sense at all!!!!!!!

Surprise surprise.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

i wouldn't mind one bit if they were completely quiet about their intentions on this, as long as they actually roll something out in the future.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Although I am sure they are trying to figure something out, it´s also a way to hold on to the our float longer.

Their announcement to the share-type-people couldn't say anything else. Likewise, dodging an announcement would have been bad too.

If they're going to do anything sneaky, they're not going to put it in an official announcement for the lawyers of the world to use as evidence.

Edit: See rakeback for details.

The obvious solution to the Party problem is to just give all Americans regular, large CRBs. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

I think it would be awesome if Party offered high stkes fantasy poker leagues.

Looks like all the ppl that cashed out to Neteller and then to their bank accounts have screwed themselves.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Why is that?

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

You guys are putting way too much stock in a Party support email. Wait and see what happens.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Party needs to stop the deposit bonuses though. If we can't deposit, we can't claim the bonus! They need bonuses that just require us to type in a code without the need for deposit.

If it turns out true that they're only suspending deposits from US customers, the people who left their money in PP will be able to keep playing. The people who cashed out will have to take up knitting.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Ehh, if fish can't redeposit the games will likely dry up anyways.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

It would make no sense that they would be allowed to play but not deposit.

That's because of the third-level game theory randomizer on their email answering bot.

They have the biggest non-u.s. player base. It will still be a viable option for income as long as there's a way to play there.

It really would make no sense. By allowing Americans to play, they would be incurring the legal risks involved in violating the law. By not letting people despoit, they would be taking the massive revenuse hit as if they were following the law. It would basically be the worst of both worlds.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

Maybe they letting the stock price drop for some reason?

Like buying it up?

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

This seems to be pretty clear

Doesn't the bill say it's illegal to accept transactions for purposes of wagering, or something like that? It would seem that it's accepting the deposits that would violate the law, not the actual play. At least in the case of poker, which is not house-banked.

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

I believe this is the stance a few sites have taken..ie..we do not take bet or wager we are just a service provider..This would relate to poker only..

Re: Email I received from Party, they aren\'t closing US account?
 

that's all fine and dandy, but what is the time table?
