Title: Re: Party Poker, Festive Gesture Post by: Wardonkey on January 02, 2007, 01:33:57 PM I got the same a few weeks ago.
The joke was that the only money in the account was theirs; they had put $11 in my account to 'welcome me back' just two days prior to charging me the admin fee.... Title: Re: Party Poker, Festive Gesture Post by: tikay on January 02, 2007, 01:34:36 PM Now, we KNOW that the lovely folks who run Party Poker are the world's worst (by design I suspct) at Customer Service, & the world's worst (ditto) at PR.
But, given that they ARE hugely successful, one assumes there is a method in their madness. Did some Marketing geek in HQ wake up one day & say "hey, I just had this great idea boss. We'll write to all the inactive Accounts & rub 'em up the wrong way, that'll bring 'em all flocking back"? I mean, DOES it work, or are these guys really stupid? Title: Re: Party Poker, Festive Gesture Post by: UpTheMariners on January 02, 2007, 01:53:43 PM i installed an update for party poker, sat down in a $33 rebuy comp and couldn't see my hole cards or any chips! a joke i was playing blind the whole comp. they have refused a refund because i played hands. yet the only hand i played was when i went all in and lost. so quickly cashedout out and uninstalled the software.
PARTY POKER BACKLISTED!!! ;tk; Title: Re: Party Poker, Festive Gesture Post by: tikay on January 02, 2007, 01:55:35 PM i installed an update for poker poker, sat down in a $33 rebuy comp and couldn't see my hole cards or any chips! a joke i was playing blind the whole comp. they have refused a refund because i played hands. yet the only hand i played was when i went all in and lost. so quickly cashedout out and uninstalled the software. PARTY POKER BACKLISTED!!! ;tk; Party Poker or "poker poker" (as you state at the start of your Post). Be careful, "poka poka" is another site. Title: Re: Party Poker, Festive Gesture Post by: TightEnd on January 02, 2007, 02:30:30 PM you all miss the point...its not a marketing manager gone mad...
they want you think "bollocks, I'll just play a hand or three to save the charge"and then they can reclassify you as an active customer from a dormant account when they report shortly to their shareholders....which makes the results look better .."look how we are keeping our customers" etc etc if you leave, they don't care if you stay they get to claim the charge its win win win for them not that I am at all cynical Title: Re: Party Poker, Festive Gesture Post by: snoopy1239 on January 02, 2007, 02:38:27 PM Don't forget that, pre-ban obviosuly, Party Poker was the most popular online cardroom in the World. They must have been doing something right.
