Does the Monster Promo mean we arent getting a VIP promo at PP?
 

Like the topic says, do you think that this monster-crap will act as a vip-promo according to partypoker or will they release some sort of VIP Promotion also?

Why speculate?

The Monster offer seems like a counter to PokerStars' $2.5mil freeroll if nothing more. We will see.

Re: Does the Monster Promo mean we arent getting a VIP promo at PP?
 

If you read the Monster thread in the Internet forums there's a post from someone saying that this is NOT the VIP offer and that it will be coming 'out very soon'

Re: Does the Monster Promo mean we arent getting a VIP promo at PP?
 

I expect the VIP offer to come out this week. They know we're going to be upset about the Monster promotion (0.50 extra rake), so they'll give us the VIP offer to keep us playing their.

The VIP offer better be fantastic, otherwise, there's no way I'm playing at Party with this Monster promotion running.

wait...so the rake is $.50 higher on every table?!?!

If that's the case I'll be cashing out of there ASAP until this [censored] is over.

It will be interesting to see if their player base goes up or down during this period. I'm guessing most of the low limit grinders from 2+2 will cashout, but maybe this promotion will bring in even more beginners.

stars just started the $2.5 million thing yesterday.
There is zero chance that Party put together this scheme the very next day as a response to that.

Additionally, the PokerStars structure is much closer to 'free' (10 FPP's per entry) and much more closely resembles the Paradise or UB $1-million freerolls that they had (except that Stars structure is a little bit better imo).


There is no additional rake on their tables for their 2.5 promo which makes it very different from the Party monster promotion.
There is also no accompanying annoying animation on the Stars promotion.


I'll have to read more about the Monster promo to figure it out a bit. But it just seems like super-rake being converted into some biggish tourneys to fleece their real-money (especially lower stakes) players.

Stars is putting lots of money into a big pool with very few FPP's required to qualify. They are not fleecing their real-money players in the least as you can simply choose to not play the round 1's of the freeroll if it doesn't appeal to you.

they are very much just trying to give more of their play-money players an additional reason to switch to real-money (so they can earn 10 FPP's to play in another tourney).

But, most importantly, all of the other ring-games and tournaments aren't affected at all in the Stars structure.

Thank you for contacting us.

The new VIP offer should be introduced much more in the beginning of August. As we do not have any update about it at the moment, we are unable to provide you more accurate information.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

No, not for every table. Have you guys noticed that they added one more section? Before it was cash games, tournies and stuff. Now first comes monster tables, than you cash games. All you have to do is select cash games and they are same as before. You pay more rake only if you play monster tables or am I wrong?

Re: Does the Monster Promo mean we arent getting a VIP promo at PP?
 

You are right but there are not many normal tables running. You either have to play at smaller avg pot tables or pay the extra rake.

Re: Does the Monster Promo mean we arent getting a VIP promo at PP?
 

Anyone have a link to this promotion? I can't find anything on their site.

Re: Does the Monster Promo mean we arent getting a VIP promo at PP?
 

Just log in. The news popup gives a "details" link.

Re: Does the Monster Promo mean we arent getting a VIP promo at PP?
 

WHY ARE YOU GUYS EVEN PLAYING AT PARTY????

(1) The games are just not as soft as before; there are other big sites with much better games.

(2) Other rooms with 10,000+ players at peak give more than 60% rakeback. Party, you have to hide it.

(3) This Monster promotion is garbage. There a few regular tables left. Pretty soon, every table will be a Monster.

(4) Their VIP program is a joke.

See the light people and make Party feel the consequences of their actions. Alot of people are complaining, but they all still play there. Party has no reason to change anything. If I were them, I would increase the rake until people did something about it.
