I am in Canada and want to play party, havent cleared the bonus there yet and tables are very juicy!!

So, I go to deposit using moneybookers and in the cashier says min $50 max $500 so I am obvioulsy going to deposit $500 to get full 30% up to $150 bonus.

However, when i choose 500, it says the max is 100... I called the number on the screen which was pay-pro (Pary's payment processing company) and they said I have to ask moneybookers to increase it even tho I have used moneybookers to deposit up to 600 on other sites before. Then I called party who ask me a bunch of questions (dob, postal code, etc) and then said my acct was verified and I could deposit.

When I retried same thing happened. Moneybookers is the only convienient way for me to deposit, but jus to see, I chose $500 using click and buy and the same thing came up about $100 max even tho clickandbuy also says $500.


WTF why is party only allowing $100 deposits LOL... how do ppl get bonuses like this... i recently played on empire which uses exact same payment crap and i deposited $500 with MB. LOL i really can't understand this...

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to participate in bonuses on both Empire AND Party. TBH I didn't think you were even supposed to have an account on both.

Oh, and there are huge delays on account changes on Party so perhaps the max deposit amount has been changed at their end but is taking a while to implement? Eg, if I win a sattelite or buy a tournament ticket with points it can take up to an hour before I am able to actually register for said tournament.

Empire and Party accounts are FINE. I have both as do many others.

The moneybookers issue is strange. I have never seen that problem. You could do a bank account deposit to Party.

Well, they agreed to give me a second bonus on my second deposit to make up for what was happening. So I deposited $100 yesterday and got $30 bonus and the second bonus will be 20% up to 200. Although, since the max deposit is 500, I will only be able to get 100 from the second bonus. So overall, I am out 20$, but at least they did the best they could to resolve the issue.

Be aware that the Empire and Party bonuses clear on very different terms. Empire's clear much more quickly.

Yes I did realize this, but Party's are still very clearable at 25NL and the softness of the tables helps as well :P

Can anyone confirm what the current best bonus on Empire is?

http://www.flopturnriver.com/reviews...mpirePoker.php lists 20% up to $100 but I thought I'd heard they had the same 30% up to $150 as party?

(Searching then net I found some others for 30% to $150 there, but if someone is going to get some sort of kick back - I'd rather it was FTR)

PS: Anyone know what the deal with Party's note "HarringtonOnHoldem2" - get a free book if you sign up using the FTR code?

You CAN have bonusses on Empire and Party, that's no problem. You should try to contact Party Poker again and again and again till you find a person that actually helps you.

The $150 bonus on Empire takes a lot longer to clear then the $100. I forgot what the difference is now, but it's huge.

Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.
