You: Give back 45 million
Party Poker: Thank you.. then takes your $25 bonus.

What a bunch of Nits, F-Party Poker

[Paul McSwizzle]

Them taking the 25 is so ridiculous

FYI, that number is basically 2^32 cents, so its possible if you win anything, it will roll over to 0.

As a programmer, I'm embarrassed to say I didn't notice that. Good eye.

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? ]

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. )

please to be trying this, someone

[BadMoFu]

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?
