Re: New Party Points System
 

The high stakes players (to be precise, all VIPs) were getting constant cash for points promotions better than this anyway, right?

Re: New Party Points System
 

it says the points accumulate each quarter.. so if you get to 'king status' in one quarter- does that carry over to the next quarter?..
Details seem vague.

Re: New Party Points System
 

yeah that was what I'm thinking about too. Does the new tier levels accumulate every quarter? or do we start earning at the new rates right away. Stupid me sold all my points and now have to start all over, but it won't take too long but still sucks if it accumulates next quarter.

Another thing I'm wondering about. It says you get points for every 20 raked hands. So if I play 18 raked hands today and 2 raked hands tomorrow do I still get credit for all 20 raked hands? or do they just cut you off.

Re: New Party Points System
 

seriously, partypoker doesn't make it easy to find this stuff.

when you hit your point target, do you move up right away? or do you only get upgraded at the end of every quarter like with the old system?

Also, where do you guys see the Deuce level on Party's website? The highest tier I see right now is Aces.

Re: New Party Points System
 

The Party site doesn't mention the Deuce level. To be honest I'm not even sure if people are being serious when they're talking about it, but 20k points isn't a completely unreasonable amount, they used to need 50k to get to Gold afterall.

Also (based on very little knowledge), I doubt that Party can compete with the PS FPP system because of the way Party pay their affiliates right now.

The deuce level is real, check https://secure.partyaccount.com/gene...s/pc/d_sml.gif

Since party support were their usual helpful selves, answering questions I didn't even ask, here's some speculation on how it works based on what I see:

Upgrades are daily. Not actually speculation in this case, it's mentioned... somewhere.
Downgrades are quarterly. Also not speculation, it wasn't what I asked but they answered it anyway.
Your starting status for the next quarter is based on the points you had at the end of the last. This is based on the partypoints summary page where it says "to upgrade to ... level" by requirements for higher levels and "to retain ... level" by lower.
It doesn't care if you spend the points. Obviously.

Re: New Party Points System
 

I like it. Based on the info available, it's really easy to get to the Deuces level.

Starting at Jacks, you need 150 base PP's to reach Queens.
To reach Kings you need 1850/2 + 150 = 1075
To reach Aces 4000/3 + 1075 = 2408
To reach Deuces 14000/4 + 2408 = 5908.
To retain it the next quarter you only need 20K/7.5 = 2.7K points.

So just under 6K points to get to the highest level and less than 3K points to retain it. In the old system, you needed 10K points to escape from the lowest level! Great improvement.

Re: New Party Points System
 

Also, I expect that there will be no more high roller promo's, because in the new system, that promo could earn you up to over 100% rakeback [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: New Party Points System
 

Typical Party. I asked them to explain the Deuces club and the points system. I already knew I was in it.
