DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!! They might have. Crap. From a 2+2 post, which was posted a couple hours ago:

Looks like Party finally figured out that their bonus was too good to be true.

Dear

Thank you for choosing our site.

This email is in regards to your cash out request for $xxx.00. In order to receive the $100.00 bonus (PGAMMON25), a player needs to at least wager five times the bonus amount.

We regret to inform you that due to some technical glitch the bonus amount has been released even before you wagered an amount of $500 at the Backgammon tables. However, our technical team is working to rectify the mistake.

We have placed the funds back to your poker account ,so that you would be able to wager five times the bonus amount and then cash out the funds. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you in advance for
your understanding and cooperation.

Contact us anytime, we are available around the clock to assist you with your account related questions and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Shubodaya
Investigations Team

Has anybody here had a problem cashing out?

I haven't cashed out yet but the funds are in my account.

Seems like one or two people on 2+2 were getting the funds into their accounts, but had a problem when they cashed out. I don't know. I'm at work, so the earliest Id be able to act on this is, like 7 or 8 hours from now. I would guess Party would stop it by then, if it isn't already stopped.

Hmmm.

I just tried to cash out then....

First time it hasn't gone straight through to Neteller. Damn.

PS: If I have to actually wager a bazillion dollars in backgammon to get this bonus, I am so not even bothering.

The latest from 2p2:

"Ok...this is my first post but I'll give you something to try. Do not try to cash out using the partygammon software. I had my cash out reversed with my full bonus in tact. I originally deposited $500 so I tried to withdraw $596 and it got rejected, so I tried again by logging into my account at partypoker.com and requesting the cash out from there and it was in my account 4 hours later. Its worth a shot to get around the gammon police.

Goodluck and thanks to the OP. "

*edit* Apparantly this was confirmed over at PSO, no link sorry.

That's how I tried the cashout, through the poker software.

I think they stopped it, or are in the process of stopping it....cashout still not even approved, which has never happenned before.

Come on man, wait a few days before you try to cash out your bonus. I mean could you make it any more obvious? Play some poker for a while before you cash it out. All sort of flags go up in their system when you do this.

[mewsiclovr]

That's what I was planning on doing, and actually it's going to force me to do it anyway since I wrote an e-check for this and it takes a few days to clear.

All well now I can try some of these juicy games I keep hearing about.

[biggle10]

I got my $$ no problem. But this was probably before the wave of 2p2 hit hard.

[ugignadl]

OK, it's all good. They will let me cash it out later.

Anyone else with problems still?

[ugignadl]

Yeah, basically they said I can't cash out the bonus money until I wager a fazillion dollars in BG. I made sure I can cash out my other money, and then checked that, and it was all good. I don't care about the bonus money anyway.

Party ignores me more than half of the time. I got the free hat in the mail, but I haven't gotten an automated email in ages. Turns out they reversed the gammon bonus without telling me either. I just found a $0.46 debit in there today.

I bet your isp's email server is trashing them as obviously unwanted degenerate illegal spam.
