Why I don't miss Party Poker.

[ddollevoet]

I haven't played at Party in a while, especially since they banned US players. I received an email from them today that reminded me just how much I don't like them.

It read:

Dear ddollevoet,
Our records indicate that your account has become inactive.

As you are registered in a restricted country, you may wish to remove your balance from your account. You need not close the account as zero balance accounts are not charged an inactive fee.

If your Account becomes Inactive, then the Company is entitled to charge you an administrative fee (the "Inactive Account Fee").

So in 6 months the 90 cents I couldn't withdraw will be gone?

(it will be six months, as I got smashed the other night & sat on a Party play money table for a while)

OMG! if you don't do anything for the next 50 years they will steal $336 from your account.... awful...

[ddollevoet]

I wasn't implying that I couldn't afford the $.56...

My point is that that kicked me off the site and now they are going to fine me for not playing there?

I got the same email- except it was .66 - somehow I think Party just stole a couple million from Americans a few cents at a time.

So stupid little e-mails like that makes you prefer to earn less money? I wish more people thought like you...

I think you need to reread the posts a little closer. They can't play on Party, even if they wanted to, because they are in the U.S and Party banned all U.S. players. But Party is sending them emails fining them for not playing when they can't because they are banned.

Why didn't you tell them to close your acct like everyone else did when they stopped accepting US players?

So... remove your balance from your account? What's the problem? :/

Or does "remove balance from your account" mean "give your balance to Party"?

When I got the announcment i got my money out right away. How could you let them earn money on your balance.???
unless you have $1 and cant withdraw
