Yeah I got this. Doesn't really seem that interesting.. How much do I have to deposit to get the full $100? $1500??

15% up to $100 -> $100 = 15% -> 100% = $667 to get the full amount.

Don't forget it's really only a 16x 7.5% $50 bonus after exchange rate robbery and fees.

I've refused to play at Party since June because of their ridiculous exchange rate on Canadian funds. I had written several emails to my VIP host but she couldn't provide with with any justification for the gouging - only that Party offers a competitive rate... yeah, right.

xe.com has the current exchange rate at 1.02645. Party offers 1.0017 which is a huge difference.

If I deposit $600 my account with be credited with $600.99 U.S. using Party's rate. With the correct rate of 1.02645 $600 Canadian should net me $615 which means that someone pockets $14 of my money.

If I immediately withdraw the $600.99 from my account Party will give me $572 using their rate. I'm out $28 on the withdrawal plus the $14 they skimmed off the deposit. So I'm down $42 and I haven't even played a hand. My hundred dollar bonus just became a $58 bonus.

People need to be more aware of this and quit playing at Party. There is no reason for them to continue using U.S. dollars as they don't even allow U.S. players... well, I guess there is one reason to not convert the site to Cdn funds.... greed, baby.
