Be prepared to have your Party account locked.

[kfellmy]

Party Poker has started implementing their "only one account" policy. If you have accounts on Party or any of their skins they will lock your account. When you call them then you get to chose which one you want. Happened to me today. Happened to a lot of BWs too. Of course some of them had up to 10 accounts at one site multiplied by how ever many skins they were on.

I had only one account at each skin (Party, Empire and Intertops). They won't even allow that anymore. Luckily I didn't have any money in these accounts since I un-installed them all a while back. Looks like I have a reason not to go back. They suck anyway.

I have known some players to play from each account with PC Anywhere or to just physically get in their car and drive over to the guys house to play, while the guy was at work.

I have only done it once with PC anywhere (just to see if I could get away with it) but have stopped now.

Why do I have this nagging feeling that there's more to the story here that you're not saying? It makes absolutely no sense for them to do this without a particular specific reason.

So far it does only seem to be Empire closing accounts. The network is only allowing one account on the network (whether you are on Intertops, Party, Empire or Multi).

Why did I get banned? I posted about a rather nasty post on 2 + 2 about a regular contributer to BW who was badmouthing BW. I posted it in the private section as I didn't want to drag it out in the open. So I got booted from the private section. Got read the riot act about not posting in that particular section unless it was casino bonuses only. I told them that the post shouldn't be meant for public eyes. They didn't seem to care.

So I posted on 2 + 2 about the badmouthing poster being right about the BW clique. Oh they all didn't like that. So they banned me and now you have to pay to be in the private section.

Went from a great forum (the best on the net actually) to total crap. Nothing any more than how do I start whoring or which site do I hit next. I am not against the beginners but there is an FAQ...READ IT. But no they never do. So you get 100 posts a day and three are about actual bonuses. The only good thing about that site anymore is the bonus blog on the front page and the tourney finder. Other than that the site is crap. I don't miss the forums at all. I check them once in a while and find nothing of value. Newbies to whoring will find the site wonderful, but after a while it gets old.

so, does that mean if I go to Empire to take advantage of the bonus they emailed about on this coming tuesday, I'm likely to get my account frozen? What happens to the money I deposit if I decide to try it?

Hey all

Those rat basterd cock sucking horse fuckers at party locked my accounts up. And beleive me, its not for bonus whoring either...If ever there were two accounts that didnt deserve it, mine are those. I think my main account, on which i have generated those cocksuckers well over 10k in rake, i have gotten like $300 in bonuses over the last 1yr +, and i dont even think any of it was this year yet. My new acct i made so i could get some rakeback under a friend of mine, and i deposited a whopping $50 and got a monstrous $10 in my bonus acct- and all i did was sit at 2-4 and heckle tightwad as i stacked off my entire micro-roll in about 5 minutes, about a million hands short of clearing my $10. There was absolutely no fucking reason at all for them to lock my accts, and they are BOTH locked out now. My empire account isnt locked at least, but i was planning on playing my Party one since i get rakeback on it...Whatta bunchof cocksuckers, is all i have to say.

my account at Empire is closed but my Party accounts are still open. Doesn't matter won't ever play there again.

Well I have accounts at Empire, Party and Eurobet (no funny business with hard-drives etc I opened them all from the same PC and used the same user details and neteller account on each) and, as I only play 10 hrs/week, and already have $1000 in unclaimed bonuses at UB, PS and Paradise racked up, I mostly play the Party sites when they are offering their bonuses. I have just cleared the Empire one and will do the Party one starting tomorrow (I got an email that looks UK player specific). Eurobet's has changed to a monthly $25 for 375 raked hands (hmm it should be $50 I think as the sterling players get £25). I won't bother with that given the other bonuses that I already have lined up.

This is just rational behaviour. Why play without bonus when I have so many bonuses just sitting there ready to earn?

I'm also an attorney and if they are daft enough to start using words like fraud (which is a libel actionable per se in England) they had better not hope to ever bring assets or give prizes out for televised tourneys within the jurisdiction. They will get a libel claim (from someone more litigious than me) and their assets frozen faster than you can call a showdown muppet's all-in.

It may or may not be a breach of their TOS (I didn't read the fine print on accounts on other skins when I signed up) but fraud it certainly ain't...

I do play various MTT's and SnG's on those sites too from time to time and have a non-static IP address so maybe that's why they haven't locked me out yet. To be honest if I could play on just one it would be Party.

I tend to find them the most frantic of sites anyway and prefer PokerPlex and UB for less heart-stopping earnings..
