is this Party bonus for real?

[bl]

I mean, whats the catch? I just can't cash out anything I win until I play 400 hands?

Dear Patcho,

We haven’t seen you around in awhile and wanted to offer you a reason to come back…Free Money!

Login to your account and you will find $40. You can use this money to play on any of our cash games or tournaments and will only have to play 10 times the bonus in raked hands to claim the bonus. But don’t delay, you will only have until September 4th to complete the requirements for this bonus.

And there are other reasons we want you to come back! We have made many changes to our Players Club which should allow you to earn PartyPoints faster. We have revamped the points accumulation for all cash games and tournaments and made it easier to go from Blue to Silver to Gold. Click here for more details about the Players Club.

And of course there is the Monster! Monster prizepools and Monster jackpots! Don’t miss your opportunity for a Monster payday. Click here for Monster details.


Good luck – we look forward to seeing you at the tables.

Sincerely,

let's see what kind of roll I can build from $40. should I play a bunch of sit'n'gos or cash?

this could be a fun experiment.

After the party gammon fiasco, what with how badly they botched it up and tried to make up for it by stealing from players, I have no desire to return to party.

I got the same email and since I have no plan to ever cash it out, I will be spewing chips all over the place to TP players in a private game. I did this last time and PMB made a cool $35. I'm out of town, but Thursday night Biggle's money will be fair game as I won't leave the table until I'm broke (details to follow).

P.s. I am hesitant to put $$ into Party after I was a benefactor of the partygammon fiasco.

HAHAHAHA that was fun.

no worries about cashing. it's gone.

I went into 25 NL, spread it out over 3 tables and played the ultimate donk. I actually built one stack up to 30 then took two terrible beats. JJ vs 99 guy caught a set and flush vs boat.

I played every hand and bluffed my ass off. figured I'd build a monster and play enough hands or do what i did.

it was the most fun $40 i've ever blown off. I'm not a Party guy anyway.

I got the same email....just made a post in the Bonus Section...didn't see this one until I already started the other one.

Exactly my attitude about this, of course I'd play with their money if they let me, considering that's only 1/5th of what they took from me...

[labatsman]

Mines already in my account.

[terminal]

I got one of those as well. You may get the offer again next month. I got the offer last month on July 7th I lost it in about an hour of PL O8. I just got the same offer today. After 2 hours of play I am up $2.00, this time I am trying NL$25.

[scotty1139]

I was up to $82, but then my uber donk took over and I got stacked on a table at $25NL, so back down to about $2 up. I played 325 total hands, didn't bother to check how many raked hands I played.

[throthedeuce]

I won $163 dollars with my free $40...and you bet your ass as soon as the restriction was lifted i cashed that shit out and took it to a site that didn't steal it riiiight bacK!

FU PP I GOT THE BEST OF YOU .... FOR NOW!

[darinvg]

I'm trying to get the bonus to play and it says there's an error. Is party fucking up AGAIN?

[johnny]

I did not receive an email but there was $30 there when I logged in. So thank you for posting about this, might have missed it otherwise. And if you didn't get an email check your accounts anyway.

[darinvg]

I finally got it to work last night.
How long does it take to rake 400 hands at $25 NL? I assume way too long.

[snickers99]

Making money during lunch....fired up the ol' PP from the work laptop during lunch and played .50/1 limit (thank you, PP bonus) for about 45 minutes and picked up $8. And picked up some raked hands towards clearing the bonus. My favorite hand...AQs in EP, raise, one caller (fucking donk who could have anything). Miss the flop, but I bet and he calls. Nothing on turn, check, check. Get my queen on the river, I bet, he calls with a pocket 5's. Nothing like calling me, the preflop raiser, down when there's 4 overcards on the board.
