    Jaysus, surely they have the right to take it back. They also have your credit card details. Hmmm wonder what the legal obligations on this are. Nice find:)

    You going on the Cruise Luke? hehe.:v:

    First post on 2+2 was about an hour ago, 4.49pm (irish time).

    I'm pretty sure that Party will just send an email and state that due to their **** up they need to take the $400 back. I've got my fingers crossed that they won't though. I've been playing some breakeven poker for the last day or two and this free money would be sweet.

    I couldn't do it. I was registered for the cruise, but my room was already the base option, meaning i couldn't downgrade.

    You should still be able to get $200 free, by selecting the Outside Stateroom instead of the Inside Stateroom which gives you the $400

    Let us know if you get any emails from Party. Do you have any $$ left in your Party account after cashing out?
    I'm assuming that emails will be sent outlining the mistake and telling all those who got the free money that it's being taken back.

    Can they do that though? I'm sure if it stays in PP, it's going back to them, once it gets to Neteller I'd say you're home free though! What if you lose it all to other players though?

    If you cash out and have zero $ left in your account, I'd say that the next time you deposit the money will be taken. So if you do cash out you won't be able to play on Party under that account ever again without returning the money. But creating a new Party account isn't tres difficult. You need a clean (of party software) PC, different address and different deposit/withdrawal method.

    You just need to weigh up if the hassle of creating a new clean account is worth $400.

    haha thats priceless

    well obviously its $400 worth but ya know what i mean ;)

    What about people who set up a new account in the next 5 mins? Do they need to be depositing players? I doubt all the play money accounts have the option?

    Yeah, i still have 300 left in my account after cash out. I'll keep you posted on what happens. My guess is there's going to be no free money. I've been in this situation before, and there's NEVER money for free.

    Also, my friend, who i believe has never deposited to party, has just availed of this fantastic, one time offer.

    The interesting thing will be what the hell does Party do to those people who had ~$0 in their accounts, did this cruise tricky thingy and got their free $400, and then went and lost (dumped) it to some random person playing poker.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 680 Amaru
    ✭✭✭


    Thats what i was thinking. They have pretty much no tangible way of getting to these people, except an IP address, and how are they going to determine who was playing on the account?

    Also, aforementioned friend did the trick, then gets over excited and types "f*cking hell, they just gave me $1230!" on MSN. After he calms down, he sees that thats his play money balance, and his real money balance is on the right....

    The link to the cruise from your Party Account home page has been removed. I'd hate to be the web guy who messed this up.

    Party rakeback:D

    I haven't done it and I'm not really bothered. As Amaru said, there is never money for free. I'm sure there is something backing them up for this mistake. I wouldn't go blowing it all playing poker, you may be liable for it.

    Its still working btw . i just clicked on update cabin selection (mine was lowest by default ) and it said that you already have that cabin..Other options are greyed out except the upgrade options.400 credited to my account.i reakon they will take it back when they figure it out but what about all the guys with 0 in their account who are cashing out or dumping the money to another account.
    tip of the day spread bet on party that shares will fall tommorow.

    odd, i'm sure they'll fix it. supprised it's lasted this long. poor guy who made the mistake.

    I'm not so sure that they can just take the money back out of your account. I know it's a different situation but (here in Ireland anyway) if a bank lodges money into your account that isn't meant for you, they have to ask you for permisson before they can take it back. Saying that, if I had a party account, I would make no delay in getting that cash out asap.

    That $400 would have been a great start to the year. Congrats lads :(

    read the 2+2 link.this could cost millions depending on how many cashed / dumped the money.It was live for a long time. i think its down now.
    i cashed out because of the fear of an account freeze but ill have to wait for 6 hrs before it goes through. they are in a world of **** because all i did was click on a link that i had won a cruise and the money automaticly enterd my account.

    I can't think of a better time for the sharps to go to work than right now. All those fish with 400 dollars they shouldn't have, sitting in a game they're not suited to playing in!

    Let us know if anything happens or if any interesting emails arrive in your inbox.
    My extra $400 is still my account, no emails as yet. Don't think I'm going to touch it until I know what's happening.

    That’s the weird thing .normally you get an email saying your request is being processed and after was successful, but i haven’t received anything from them even though the money went through.i suspect they are up in a heap somewhat.

    Party is taking the money back. Some people have cashed out already, some people's account have been flagged and cashouts aren't working.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens to those people who played the $400 and lost, and those who played the $400 and won, do they get to keep the profit?

    I've been following this one with interest, anyone who took the money and still has it in their account will defintely lose it. As for those who successfully cahsed put and aren't going back, who knows. But I'll say this - Partygaming are dodgy, and I mean really dodgy in terms of those running it at the top, publically quoted company or not. They manipulate the market to their own ends with dodgy financial reports, dodgy profit statements and "forecasts" about market growth in the industry. Call me a sceptic but how could this have been let go on for the length of time it was going on for, surely within 5 minutes of it breaking on the net someone at Partypoker would have found out and done something to prevent further incidents of it. It doesn't sound right to me. You say it would be a great time to sell Partygaming shares, well I'd like to know how many were agreed to be sold very recently by its principal owners, maybe the few $400s that get away will pale in comparison to the amount they'll take in when the share price temporarily plummets. I wouldn't put it past some of the main crooks at Partygaming that this is what they have done.

    Well then you just got some free money. Course you won't be able to play on PP anymore cause they'd take it back from any further deposits but I'm sure you can live with that. Hey now you can pay your proposition bet debt! And they say that crime doesn't pay :) It's a glorious day for all those repressed fraudsters who don't have the technological knowhow to break into systems to steal money, and I'd say for 99% of the people who cashed out the money it's the biggest poker win of their lives!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 680 Amaru

    I plan on making an over/under bet with Roundtower on how much money Party lost on this whole thing for €150 to cover the amount i lost on the prop bet!

    This does worry me though. I still have money in my Party account, and I want to still play on Party. I wonder what kind of consequences they can bring on people who cashed out?
