Newbie question for Party VIPs

[ajmargarine]

Send them an email if you are over $1k. I did and like others around here, was almost instantly put in the VIP club.

Thanks, I actually thought it was gonna be harder but $1k isn't that hard to do at all, I did $300 this week playing .5/1 so let's hope the move to 1/2 makes it so I I breeze through it by week 3 1/2.

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...

Fudgies. Now I don't know what to think, I'm going to see if I can rack up $1000-$1200MGR this month at mostly 1/2 and .5/1 Fri-Sun and hope for the best. I really wish there was some sort of consistency where they told me if I did X rake at Y game I'd be in but apparently there is no such thing as standard opperating procedure in the offices of Party. I'll report what happens at the end of the month. Good luck me.

it seems to be like most party support issues it just depends on who you talk too on what day and which dart board they are throwing darts at. when i emailed them they told me 8500 raked hands (i emailed them back and told them i had played over 8500 raked hands and they replyed if i continue it through feb they will let me join). so points or MGR or rake i think it depends who you talk to. and apperently they concider more than one months play.

[MicroBob]

just to clarify:
they only have one dart-board. It's a really big dart-board with lots of different responses such as points, MGR or rake (given what day and hour you call) but it is only just one dart-board.


You don't want to be heading across it to get a coffee-refill at the top of the hour when all the different C/S reps are required to throw their 'policy change darts' at it.

Well since the high volume players keep the games going, maybe they think it's more important to keep the higher limits running smoothly than the lower ones. I don't agree, but that might be their rationale.

Well they tell me that to qualify for VIP, my goal is 40k hands a month at my ultra high stakes of 25NL. WoohoO!
