F.Y.I. .No bonus points and lowered the amount of points per 20 hands.

Please note we have discontinued the 'Bonus points', but don't worry, any bonus points already in your account won't disappear and you can still spend them at the Party Store. Remember you can now earn points when you play at both PartyCasino.com and PartyPoker.com. Plus you will also earn more points while playing poker tournaments.

Okay, this is a double kick to the nuts for me. I'm primarily a low stakes SNG player where the $1 rake I contribute used to worth 3 points, and now it's 2. I also used to try to play five days a week to get a raked days bonus, but now that's gone too?? Those bonuses were how I got the bulk of my points....

The stuff in the store doesn't seem to be costing any fewer points than before either.

We have made some changes to the way Players Club points are awarded for our No Limit and Pot Limit games. Points will now be awarded in a new incremental grading system where the higher the table stakes, the more points you will earn.

The points will now be awarded as per the table below:
Limit & No-Limit/Pot-Limit Games
Limit PartyPoints Earned Criteria
$100/200, $50/100 25 for every 20 raked hands played on these tables in a day
$30/60, $25/50, $20/40, $15/30, $10/20, $5/10 15
$15/30, $10/20, $5/10 - Jackpot 15
$3/6, $2/4 - Jackpot 12
$3/6, $2/4 12

IM gold and ive been playing 1/2 limit. IM only earning 8 points for every 20 raked hands. Anyone else having this problem?

[/ QUOTE ]

Change took effect for play on the 16th, which was posted late..sometime early today. 17th play also up.

I'm Silver 1/2 Limit player, and they gave me 12 pts/ 20 raked for the last two days, as per the new rate.

Perhaps you can make more of this than me lol. Its either 12k, 16k, or 35k for gold. You guess...


[/ QUOTE ]

12K seems for the next two months, if you note the dates. Guess they will bump you early.
16K seems to be for three months.

35K...no eFing idea.

Or maybe they are all wrong.

It's Party, Jake.

This was taken from my account (not some informative page) so I guess it can't be wrong:

So it seems that silver requires 15k and gold requires 50k.

i think when they realize how much traffic goes down without happy hour bonus, they will likely reinstate it. i know i played exclusively those hours and won't be back without incentive.

8 points for 20 raked hands 1/2


[/ QUOTE ]

isn't this an increase for 1/2...didn't it used to be 6 pts per 20 hands.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it used to be 4 pts per 20 hands.

I play mostly limit (1/2 and 2/4 SH, now awarding 8 and 12 points per 20 hands respectively) and I agree that this sucks majorly for players at NL50 and NL100.

so it looks like i still need 35k points for the quarter that ends 9/30 to maintain Gold.

since i'm 75% of the way there, sure, i'll go for it.

but unless PArty gives me an over the top reason to maintain it for the oct-dec quarter, i'm done.
