In August 2020 I got the infamous email from Party entitled "All Good Things Must Come to an End"
They gave me 2 days notice that my account would be suspended indefinitely.
This was while I was playing a 3 day tournament. I didnt make it to day 3 but I have no doubt that no one realized or even cared that I would not be able to finish the tournament had I made it to day 3.
They took days to respond to my requests to cash out my tournament tickets won. No refunds were given for any of the $250 in tickets spent in this 3 day tournament which I could never win because I would be locked out of the poker room on the start of day 3. And yes I did check and I was locked out of the poker room like clockwork when the email said I would be.
They were clueless when I complained and just quoted their policy against converting tickets into cash.
I eventually got a hold of someone to look into it, but it was like pulling teeth. They converted my 1 remaining $125 tournament entry into cash but not before trying to convince me I had to play it.
Then to finally get them to initiate a wire transfer took another 45 days. They already had my documents. I still had to submit multiple times before it took or anyone even acknowledged me.
It was not a pleasant experience nor easy.
From what I could ascertain, Party decided not to renew their gaming license in Panama. I am certain this wasnt a last minute decision on their part. This showed me how much they actually care about their players.
I highly recommend people look elsewhere when choosing a site to play.
