Re: Party loses another one to Stars
Party Poker's VIP system is BS. I knew that as soon as I inquired. I emailed them asking for details, explaining that I play a large amount of poker and I bluntly told them I left party poker because they eliminated rakeback from my affiliate. The response I recieved was something along the lines of 'We handle every VIP individually, offering unique promotions to each one'. To me this means they gaurantee nothing and analyze the best way to fcuk you out of more money.
PokerStars VIP is laid out very clear, and you get what you earn with no BS, no variables, no room for error. Just play on PokerStars. Personally I'd like to see everyone move to stars and just shut Party down. Unfortunately that will never happen, and since I can't beat them, I still play their tournaments. I won't have anything to do with their current VIP program though.

What other reason would someone have for needing to keep $50K on a site where you play .50/1.00 tables? [/ QUOTE ] some people w/ big bankrolls find it helpful to go blow off steam at the .5/1 tables and donk it off and just gambool every now and then. they say it keeps them from tilting in the big games. this isnt for me but it works for some people. i have a friend that i like to play w/ but he's only bankrolled for the .50/1 tables so ill sit at his table every once in awhile. bwana

Wow, I'm very very surprised so many poker players agree that the sites should have supreme power to confiscate entire bankrolls on the assumption someone has cheated in any way. I'm sorry to disagree, but this kind of absolute power would lead to much abuse and threaten to undermine the trust people would have that their money is safe in poker sites. I personally would withdraw daily if such a policy was widespread, and then only deposit small amounts to just fund what I needed for that days play. [/ QUOTE ] You forgot. They only seize your funds if you actually did cheat.

Anyone who is willing to play on a very high level just to receive the equivalent of a 10% rakeback is a VIP in my book. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I'm getting the equivalent of like 100% rakeback from the Acceler8r.

Re: Party loses another one to Stars
Pretty typical...and unfortunate.
I would have badgered them more about, "If it's 4000 points then why did YOUR reps tell me 3600 points and $1200 MGR. You said that 'whoever told me $1200 MGR is sorely mistaken.' Well, it was YOUR rep who told me that. The name of the party-rep who told me that is XXXX. You clearly do not have all your reps on the same page regarding the VIP program. Either your reps were misinformed, or they are just making it up as they go, or they are outright lying. I asked PARTY SUPPORT. And PARTY SUPPORT told me 3600 points. This is what I did. Now you are changing it and saying it is 4000 points." I would also consider forwarding this exhange of e-mails to Mike OMalley. You have been treated extremely unprofessionally. It is typical of the way party miscommunicates within their own offices and handles their customers with extremely little care.
