Party Poker Player Reviews and comments

Date: 01/21/2005, Comment from Golum44
Iīve been playing at PArty Poker for years now and Iīm up aprox. 2500 dollars. Reading all these posts gives a very bad impression of Party Poker but I guess itīs due to the fact that people losing money are more willing to complaint than people who actually won are willing to write something positive here. So hereīs a winner writing for a change. Of course I had doubts myself when I was losing money and never thought about it while I was winning. my advice would be: Donīt go and play without a plan of what youīre doing. Donīt play when you had a bad day and certainly donīt play when you shouldnīt be taking the risk of losing the money you play with. But that applies to all gambling.
On a scale from 1 to 10 Party Poker would get a solid 8 from me.

I'm a regular in the money games at PP and the way your money goes makes me believe it is a crock of S***. You are either really happy or really pissed off. The fluctuations are enough to make anyone insane. The customer service is HORRIBLE(india). The bonus is BS. I didnt realize it at the time but I checked it out after I got the bonus. Okay.. so if you use the code REAL$100 they give you a $25 bonus on a $50 deposit which you are required to play a miniumum of $50 raked hands (taxed hands). Well, I played heads up with my friend and that is what qualified me for the bonus. Each hand taxes around .50 cents to $2+.. so if you play heads up you can figure at least 25 cents per person that is being taxed. Well... 25 cents x 125 minimum raked hands =$31.25!!! So you arent getting a bonus.. they are actually TAXING YOU... and that is only figuring 25 cents per person.. the rake can go up to $2+. HORRIBLE. Note: (If you dont already have an alcohol/drug addiction you will develop one playing at party poker. Take your money to a real casino.)

Pretty good software. Rigged? Probably. Solution: Don't play cash games. I always see excessive bad beats and people getting screwed over, but YOU CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM. It is possible.

i have started w/ $50. . . cashed out numerous times, won big tourneys after cashing out. . . used to think there was a cash out virus but pp seems to be the closest thing to real poker

Just got disconnected for the first time in over a year on the site. Connection status page said the service was running okay and all other web sites were available. Was mid-tournament so very annoying.

Has anyone else noticed that some players location says"unavailable?" Also why are they now based in Gibralter and not Canada? Kind of suspicious to me. Can't get to the Gaming commission in Canada to ask either.Should'nt they let us know?Gaming law says they can't move without telling

Party poker is definitely rigged. The bad beats are just horrible. You can never win big with just a 50 dollar deposit, its almost impossible! I have been trying to win over 5 months with just 50 bucks deposit, and lose all the time. Sure , the highest I will get up would be about 90-115, but then lose all of it again. I dont know any player who has won "big" with a mininum deposit or with a avg raked played hands. Show me one person who deposited 50 bucks and won a huge tournament like the 200 buy in mtt? Then ill believe its not rigged. Or a player who has won the 9000 step tournaments with just a 11 dollar buy ins. Horrible horrible site. Shouldve listened to others who warned me before. Best bet is to play at casinos.

It's absolutely rigged. Dream it's fair all you want, I've done more research on PP than anyone else ever will, including you!

For a college paper we studied logs for 70 party poker accounts. Anyone attempting to make money from low stakes tournaments has their account flagged for loss.

On a typical account we'd start with $50.00 and cash out once it hit $400.00, which doesn't take very long at all playing the sigle table tourneys.

Do this twice if possible.

Cashout the 2nd time then reload the account with another $50.00.

Presto, you have a flagged account. This account WILL NOT be winning another tournament at Party Poker. You will not be allowed to win again under any circumstances. The cards to beat your hand will always come up to keep you out of the money spots.

PP does not want people making money off of ther noobies. The rigging is automated and is in place to help with customer retention. Poker is popular and only getting more popular, PP wants to retain all these new accounts and can't do it by letter better players take the new players money.

Play at PP all you want, just don't plan on cashing anything out, you'll get flagged.

I\\\'ve lost a considerable amount of money on Party Poker therefore I may be a little Jaded. I\\\'ve been playing poker for about 6 years now so feel I have considerable amount of expierience. In my time playing for 6 years I\\\'ve seen a Royal Flush happen once. I saw a Royal Flush twice playing at party poker over a couple months of on and off play. Just seems like the hands are always so good. Its like, if you have a K high flush on the flop. You better wait and see, cause somebody probally has a A high flush. Amazing combinations of cards happen all the time. Also, people know this so they bet crazy. It just seems really fake at times. Now, I\\\'m sure exactly what
the \\\" random number generator\\\" is. Or who the hell the BMM. is. But, don\\\'t let that think theres something completely legit going on here. Nothing can replace a real deck of cards with humans dealing them. Bottom line, its a different type of poker. If you choose to invest your money on the site be careful.

Party Poker is the biggest poker room online. I think they have more than 50,000 players by now. I donīt think one becomes that big by being rigged and providing poor service, donīt you agree? Besides, the bigger a site becomes the bigger is the chance of having players that are not happy with your service.

Party poker sucks ass it is easily the worst online poker site on the net. The customer service is the worst I have ever seen and that is my line of work. They dont return email and if you call the 1800 number than you cant understand the rep because they dont \\\\\\\"speaka the english\\\\\\\"; good luck if you play on that site. If you do dont play in the cash games.

there is absolutely no question about the fact that partypoker is rigged. I have played there for a living for two years, and I don't believe any winning player could fail to notice the fact that they are rigged. Absolutely no question about it.

i have played partypoker for 7 months. i strongly oppse partypoker now. like others have posted they dont honor thier bonuses for one. they lie to customers about bonuses which in my mine is completely unacceptable. also in my 4 years of playing poker ive never taken so many bad beats combined as i have on partypoker in 7 months. I constantly lose as a 80% favorite with one or two cards to go. i mean people catch 10% chances 50% of the time. it defies all percentages. as soon as u say something about it while your playing the beats just keep coming. in my opinion it is rigged and set up. they dont care who they screw as long as they get their money. ALSO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS IS TRUE THERI CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE U GET AN EMAIL BACK DAYS LATER FULL OF LIES FROM SOMEONE NAMED KAPELIN. ITS VERY SIMPLE IF UR A GOOD SMART PLAYER AND WANT TO WIN DO NOT PLAY PARTYPOKER. It is rigged and set up ive seen and taken so many bad beats and no one from partypoker is ever accountable. oh one more thing if u do decide to play dont think premium hands and percentages will hold up because trhey dont at least for me. Dont say u were never warned.

There are ways to claim bonus and most players do not read the terms and conditions of the Bonus offers that poker rooms offers and later feel cheated.. There is a certain raked hand restriction that is required in order to claim the bonus that is being offered to you and you need to qualify for the same in a specific period of time..if you fail to do so , then it expires and you do not get that bonus…

Party Poker is a horrible site. I was warned against using their site, and I wish I had listened. The site does go down often in the middle of games or tournaments (I have a cable connection). You will have major problems trying to cash out. I tried to cash out on several occassions, and everyone was held pending further review. For what I don't know. I highly discourage using this site. Till now none of my money was released.

I have played at party poker for about 4 months, the people on there play stupid will call just about anything. getting beat on the river is normal. cashing out is a major problem. I have been trying to cash out 500.00 for almost six weeks. the customer service is terrible.
I WILL NEVER PLAY ON THEIR SITE AGAIN.

Getting beaten on river is got nothing to do with PartyPoker specifically. It can happen on any site or live poker room.
The random number generator has been tested and certified by BMM International,
a globally recognized tester of gaming and wagering devices. Its just one of your bad times that you are getting beaten on the river. The best thing to do at these times is give a break and then get started again.

Regarding the cashout, well it depends on what kind of option you choose to cashout. Whenever there is a cashout request, for internal and security purpose there is a review process to ensure that there is no fraud involved in it and this process takes 24 hrs. The quickest and fastest way to cashout is through IGM or Neteller account.

Easily Party Poker is the best site out there. Its totally legit and on an average night there are about 40,000-50 players. I play for real money and I highly recommend to all others.

Party Poker is a crooked site. They refuse to honor public bonus offers. I referred a friend, they admitted in writing that I refered her, and they refused to pay me the referral bonus.

This was my first cyber poker experience and I have to admit that it was the best online game Iīve ever played online! Reviewed Casinos recommended me this one and they were so right! Thanks!

Party Poker is a great site, but it has its problems. Seems to be down quite abit, hard to connect to customer service to find out whats wrong.

i began playing poker 6 months ago and 4 for real money and i have try 5 or 6 casinos for poker and the service in partypoker is incredible, the only thing missing is a point program for costumers and a store, but if you like service, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE (just tell them DUQUE_DELBOT sent you)
