And then lost another $22 ticket this morning... LoL. I knew it expired at 11:20am PT today and had plans on using it. Unfortunately I've been far too busy to play a schedule of tournaments - - lots of extra work I'm committed to & some holiday prep. stuff too (just bought an RV & getting it ready for a couple of big trips... maybe even to Montreal for the WSOP-C events).

My peeve with those PPLive tickets are that you can only see '3' tourneys to register for with them (typically running within the next 2hrs.). So I can't even check to see when they'll be running a day from then... a couple days from then or even just a few hours from then. Makes it VERY difficult to make plans if you're unfamiliar with the scheduling of them. So because of this I lose another $22 (I bought into the $5 before it & then of course the time invested playing it).

I liked the thought of picking up a few PPLive dollars as it would definitely sway me towards adding in a stop to the Playground Club while driving across the country at the end of August (a 4,000 km trip). But as it is ... it is summer right now & I'm home less than half the time & when I am home I'm working 90% of the time. Chances are I probably won't bother to play in any of them (too hard to plan... especially while knowing you only have 7days to use it).

I'm curious... why is there a 7-day expiry on a ticket you invest your $'s & time into? I've never seen this before on any site I've played on. I can see if it's some ticket you've won from a promo or some sort of freeroll but why does Partypoker have time restraints on other tickets that the customers have bought & paid for with both $'s & time. From my end it seems like a bad business decision by Partypoker as it upsets (or disappoints) many 'customers'. I just don't understand the need for it?

All our tickets have an expiry to ensure the sat tree liquidity is kept fluid
Without the expiry, and having tickets sat dormant in accounts would mean a huge decrease in our guarantees and offerings

I have shared your feedback with the live team for review and future consideration

Thanks

Thanks for everything you do for us Colette. I also appreciate the occasional dip into power point corporate speak.

What is wrong with the chat box today? It's a nonstop spam generator for Party. There are messages advertising upcoming tourneys coming every second - perhaps several per second. I had to turn off all dealer messages to just have a chat box (that almost no one used) that worked without being able to see results of the last hand (which I couldn't see anyway because of the spam spew).

You would need to reach out to the Cards Chat affiliate team to ask - not something I deal with sorry

can I create a new bwin account while keeping my party account?

And would I be able to transfer funds between those two accounts?

I can't comment on affiliate deals however you can have both a bwin and pp account though obv you cannot play both in the same session
No - you can not transfer funds between accounts

There has been a configuration issue with certain games - this is being looked into today and should be fully resolved with the "spam" chat removed from the tables

Higher priced Sat Tickets have a longer expiry date which makes a mockery of the stated reasons given . Pay to enter a ticket tournament , win , and not be able to play it whenever you want to is absurd. Satellite entries and tickets should be two different entities. Until this is changed the site loses heaps of income. Stupid really .

No - you can not transfer funds between accounts

So it would be a new account right that I would have create?
I wouldn't be able to log in to bwin client using my partypoker username & password. Correct?

Yes you would need to create a new partypoker account
You can not log in to the bwin client using the same credentials - no

Huge news for our MTT players!

As we continue to work on our ecology and a player made site we have today made some changes to our MTT structures for our Power Series games going forward

Bounty Hunters are now freezeouts - we removed the re-entry option following player feedback

We have across most our games reduced re-entry overall, decreased from the option of two to one RE

These games now run on our smooth blind structure which features reduced blind lengths and also reduced late reg

We replaced the Deepstacks with new warm-ups featuring regular stacks and clocks which helps reduced the end time of the games making them more appealing to the majority of our players


The idea behind the above changes is to keep the game's player friendly with earlier finish times and increase the experience for our players with a smoother structure and less late reg alongside decreased/ no re-entry helping the overall game ecology
We feel these are great changes - as always your feedback is welcome and appreciated

Thanks!
Colette

 

[RedGnom]

Appreciate any attempts targeted to modify the operational stuff.
Way to Go! No. I would say "Way to Run", party poker!
Thanks for your care about players.

 

[Colette Stewart]

All - to be clear the changes were put in place following player feedback and for now, we have changed only our Sunday games
We will then roll out the changes to other days - it will be a gradual process to avoid major disruption and to ensure we have the changes spot on
We do feel the game changes in place will increase player experience offering earlier finishing times and a better structure


Thanks for support and feedback

I'm liking the new fast forward rakerace promo for the powerfest.
Unlike the prev rakeraces where It'd be super tough to make good money without 4 tabling the entire day I guess now we can win a ticket with not much trouble.
Looking forward to this
