Such a great promotion with the extra tickets for the following week and so poorly executed from party. I had no idea missions existed but there are still several days this week and plenty of time to play 4 tournaments (I thought), but the mission appears to have been already removed and the offer over. I did not know there was a 'mission' that needed to be done and I did not know I had to commit in advance to doing it. I thought I just had to mail support after I played 4 tournaments or maybe it just happened automatically.
--Can someone confirm that I can no longer do the 4 tournaments to get a ticket for the following week of power series?--
Makes me laugh that this promotion is right up my street and would encourage me to play more and it is ended up making me more annoyed than if there wasn't a promotion in the first place if I am denied it on a technicality.
Obviously I'm grumpy. But I was also denied equity in the cancelled tournament when I had 2x start stack when the tournament disappeared after an hour and a half and then just got my buy in back the same as the people that already busted. I don't really get this as it is actually set out in the terms and conditions on the party website:
https://www.partypoker.com/games-fairness/cancellation.html"Multi-table tournaments
Players who have been eliminated from a tournament before cancellation for technical reasons will lose their buy-in and entry fee.
Any players still competing in a tournament when it is cancelled for technical reason will be refunded as follows:
1. Each player will be awarded prize money equal to the amount that would have been awarded to the next player to be eliminated.
2. After prize money has been allocated according to point 1, 50% of the remaining prize pool will be distributed equally between the remaining players, and 50% will be distributed on a percentage basis according to the remaining players' chip count at the time of cancellation.
3. The remaining players will also be refunded their entry fee."
I really want to play more on party. I just wish it was smoother and easier.
The people who do Social Media are really dedicated and do their best at the thankless task (I feel like they are Fernando Alonso, fantastic at their job but with terrible machinery to work with). But things just keep infuriating me with the site and prevent me from playing there more.
I am enjoying the experience of being a customer of poker sites less and less. A welcome exception in the industry is DTD (even though I haven't been there much as I am not in the UK much), so I'm glad for the DTD/party connection and I already see the good influence. I appreciate the effort from party, I just wish they would stop missing the open goal.
