Re: $43 million error at Party (screenshot)
[ QUOTE ]
Actually, it is 2^32 - 1 cents. If the OP had won $0.01 before contacting PartyPoker, his balance might become zero. [ I don't think anyone can have a negative balance, right? ] [/ QUOTE ] so THAT'S how you get 43,000,000 dollars folks!! bet 1 cent more than your entire roll. LOSE. then you'll have -1 cent in your account, which party figures is 43,000,000. Someone try this and see if it works. ( i suppose it'll also work if you transfer your entire roll + 1 cent to a buddy. then you'll have -1 cent in your account, party thinks it's 43,000,000. profit. )

Re: $43 million error at Party (screenshot)
Now we just have to figure out how to bet your roll+1c, which is not allowed by software afaik.
Also, in theory, one could have a roll of 43M on party, join a limit table, win a pot, and his roll becomes 0 again? Unlikely scenario, but could be done if someone really put an effort into it?

So it wasn't like they would miss the money? After all, it didn't really exist. In which case, he could have kept betting the maximum on one number at roulette, waited until he hit and cashed out his net win, less the one cent. Because although the balance would have zeroed, the rest of the win would be registered. With average luck, (and assuming $500 is the maximum) he would have been left with a balance of about $9,000, which probably wouldn't have alerted anybody's suspicions.
