$43 million error at Party (screenshot)

[Draidin]

i have that much in my play money account

[deleteduser]

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

[timex]

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

What I don't get is you're playing roulette, see you have $43m and don't put at least $1m on red.

There would be a lot of happy 2p2ers if I had this much in my account.

(I would still shortstack tho)

Surely giving a reward is +EV for Party? As it making it somewhat proportional (though obviously you couldn't give millions). This is because in the future, anyone else who accidentally got transferred $40 million, knowing they wouldn't get a cent of reward for it, has little incentive not to screw around with it and maybe try to get some out for themselves. If Party thinks the average damage the person not reporting it could cause is even 0.1% of the total amount (assuming that they could catch people trying to withdraw or chip dump a large proportion of the time), surely returning half of that expected loss, $20,000, to the honest person is reasonable.

Of course, maybe they're banking that no accidental transfers of any scale could ever occur again.

So maybe if such a thing happens to you, you could punish Party for their stinginess.
