fwiw -
it appears they might be upping the requirements if you play lower.
Seems weird...but $1k at .5/1 might not be enough. They might tell you that "at your limits" you still need to play more.

Which is totally stupid since MGR of $1k = MGR of $1k regardless of what limit you are at. But this appears to be a factor they consider.

Okay I admit it, I am the one who clarified it was $1K a month. This per an e-mail I received from Daniel Wexler, head of promotions at PP. Since then I've seen a few posts saying that doesn't seem to be correct. I've been thinking about it and am wondering if those who seem to need more than 1K are signed through an affiliate and therefore Party is not getting the full 1K and would then up the requirements. I had never signed up through an affiliate.

Of course it could be that they have increased the requirement. The e-mail I got was in December, and it regarded my November play (first month of VIP) and lack of achieving my VIP goal.

I had posted the info in several threads but was reluctant to post the actual e-mail. If you guys really want me to post the e-mail, I will.

I have been reading all this... I came to a thought that it may "no longer be the preset number of $1K MGR"... while I agree with Bob that $1K MGR = $1K MGR regardless of level, I wonder if they are going on a trend focusing on having the high-volume players to get *the necessary Player Points*, rather than the MGR amount? One of Party's emails pasted here by someone seemed to indicate that...

Obviously, doing 18,000 hands at 0.5/1.00 as opposed to doing 10,000 hands at 3.00/6.00, Party prefers to invite the player into the VIP club doing the 10,000 hands at 3.00/6.00 even if rake is "probably similar" because...... who-knows-why!

My 2 cents...
