Party Poker scam
 
Is everyone aware that it's Party Poker's policy to keep players change giving you no option to remove it from their site. I wonder how many thousands of dollars they make off of people who cannot withdraw their cents and just leave them on for Party to do what they want with. I was told at first that Neteller didn't allow you to withdraw cents which I found to be a lie and then Party decided to tell me it could have been a technical reason offering no resolution. I find this to be an unacceptable practice that needs to be changed. Basically, Party chooses to steal your money with no option at recourse. I'd like to hear some thoughts on this.

If you withdraw through igm-pay, or by check your get you change, just not neteller. This Neteller not getting change is the same with every site I've played at, including pokerstars, pacific poker, and ultimatebet.

It's not Neteller's doing. I was able to get all my money off Betfred, including the 32c in change. It's apparently the poker sites.

Quarters add up. I can see why Party and others make money off this scheme. There are probably literally millions of fish who log onto Poker sites (after watching WPT) and then bust out and never come back. All those leftover quarters add up to a [censored] of money. It's easy to think zillionares don't care about a few thousand here and there, but that's how they got rich to begin with.

No, you're right, its not, there have been a handful of the casinos that I bonuswhored that let me cash out the change to neteller. All I"m saying though, is that if you want the change, you can get it, either by cashing out with igm-pay, or by a paper check. So its hardly a scam. And its not just Party Poker that does it. If people are too lazy to cash out their change then thats their problem.

Pokerstars cashes out the change to neteller. The first class operation always gets its right.

Yes, hundreds of thousands of accounts with between .01 and .99 in them is a substantial sum of money, and party makes interest of it and such, but it's not that big a deal.

I mean, to each individual the money is not that much, you don't freak out when your bank charges you some .99 service fee every year, but multiply that across their millions of customers and blamo, major money.

Some sites will let you cash out change, Stars and UB come to mind, but alot of sites don't
