Not Happy with PartyPoker - I won't be playing there any longer

[DolphinsBea]

You revive a 7 year old thread to let us know this information? Well personally I'm glad you did. I can't believe I've been playing on that site without even knowing this stuff. Wow... I feel like an idiot. I wonder how much they've ripped me off for.

Probably lots of money

Probably lots of money

It's not a lot of money I win on there but it almost feels like I'm guaranteed an increase to my bankroll on most days I play on Partypoker. I do pick my days carefully (almost every day, lol) and time of day is also important (along with table selection for cash game players but I typically play FastForward cash games and no tournaments at all). Now if I could multiply it by 10x I might be able to buy groceries with it.

Seriously though, I have found this site to be the easiest one to make a profit from. I'm sure WPTglobal is also easy but I can't stand the software on there, or the lobby, etc. etc.

The only thing I will say is I wish I could play on that site again .Plus, I didn´t have to pay any fees everytime I wanted to withdraw some money.

I play on Party only the CC freeroll,i stoped play there after the reunion with bwin.Party Poker back in the days was one of the best poker sites but now i would not recomand to anyone to play there,like you said ,to take commision when you want to withdraw is sick ...

I don't think it's right to charge a withdrawal fee, but GG also charges for each withdrawal. I haven't played at PartyPoker for a long time, but my husband does. Since we're from Brazil, we have the option of withdrawals via PIX, which are immediate upon request, and PartyPoker charging withdrawal fees is new to me. I used to play more at PokerStars, but it's become a self-serving company. There are no longer promotions for beginners, and they only target and benefit those who deposit large sums of money on the site. The free tournaments that do exist are just those hyper-turbo bingo-type tournaments, with nothing else of interest other than the site's gameplay.

PartyPoker and WPT were a good site, now are very poor

Partypoker like all sites is there to make money

I really wish I could play on Party. Bret Michaels said it best "you dont know what you got till its gone".

Just like the starving kids in Africa who would love to eat your brussel sprouts, there are many players who would love the chance to play on a Party.

Partypoker have been issuing tickets and then cancel the games before the expiry date so that expiry for a while now , And have now started issuing tickets that go straight into your inactive tickets (2x Super $55 satellite Tickets $8.80) I won these last week so not a weekly tournament and the chat team have no idea when they will be played so waiting to see if they expiry.

Does anyone know then these are normal played?

Questionable comparison between ur gambling addiction and people in need.

PartyPoker is one my favorite sites but they bit the apple too hard when they relaunched few years ago, too many bonuses with too little rake... it wasn't sustainable and now they are paying for it. I think they need to "relaunch" again. They are due larger update!

Good morning everyone. It really doesn’t make sense for poker sites to charge more than $1 in withdrawal fees for micro and freeroll players. In fact, they shouldn’t charge withdrawal fees at all, since we already pay rake every time we register for MTTs or play cash games. Most of the sites’ profits come from casino games, which generate millions of dollars every day. So why charge such small withdrawal fees, which are practically insignificant for the sites?

How much rake gets paid in a freeroll?

I strongly disagree with much of your post here. Perhaps Partypoker doesn't cater to freerollers... but actually I know there are some CC members who are regularly winning tickets to bigger tourneys via 'freerolls' on Partypoker.

For micro stakes players, Partypoker is excellent (tournament play I'm talking about mostly). Smaller fields, and generally softer play in the $11-$33 range (compared to Stars).
Solid, trustworthy software. NEVER get any disconnects. I feel my money is secure on the site.
Withdrawals are quick & easy! (methods for depositing are easy as well).

I've mostly only played cash game on Partypoker for years now but I just started playing some MTT's and I will certainly be playing many more going forward.
