PartyPoker Changes Play Money Policy
By Brett Collson for POKER NEWS DAILY | Posted on February 02, 2010
Online site PartyPoker made some changes to its play money policies during the past week. The site, which has been in the news with the signing of professional players Kara Scott and Tony G and its purchase of the World Poker Tour, is now putting a clamp down on the dishonest actions taking place at its play money tables.
PartyPoker posted a blog on its site Tuesday briefly explaining the software upgrade and change in play money policies: "We recently implemented a new policy that restricts play money accounts to a maximum number of chips. This decision has the vast majority of our play money players in mind, and is intended to stop the transferring of chips from account-to-account outside of regular hands of poker... Although this may have affected some play money players in the short term, the decision was made in the interest of our play money games and the fair play benefits it will bring. We will not reverse our decision."
Players who create an account on PartyPoker are first credited with 1,000 play chips. Should they lose those chips, they can replenish their account with 1,000 more chips two more times within a 24-hour period. Under the previous guidelines, players could build their accounts to millions – and even billions – of play chips.
Player-to-player play money chip transfers were never allowed on the site, but players found a way around that rule by sitting down at a table and chip dumping to one another. The practice of purchasing play money chips on sites like ChipEmpire also became common. Players could buy up to one billion chips for $400 on Chip Empire. This resulted in millions upon millions of play chips spreading across the site illegitimately and PartyPoker wanted to put a stop to it.
The new maximum players can have in their account is 250,000 play chips and the change has resulted in backlash from the dedicated play money players on the site. "Party Poker has, without notifying any of the players, arbitrarily taken away everyone's play chip bank. All we have been allowed to have is 250,000," said Brigitte Hole, a longtime PartyPoker play money player. "I had almost 82 million in my account; my husband had just over 100 million. All of our chips were not illegally obtained or even purchased, but won over a long time. We took great pride in building up our accounts to this point.
Hole continued, "Now in one fell swoop, in Party Poker’s efforts to get rid of the people who cheat with their chips (get them illegally, etc.), my account is at 250,000. Without warning, I have been 'bankrupted' and made to feel like the bad guy. This is not fair, this is terrible PR. And they will not give my chips back."
Beth Harrington, another regular play money player on PartyPoker, has been less than pleased with the site's unwillingness to listen to its loyal players regarding the rule change. She told Poker News Daily, "People who have built their bankrolls up over the years have had their accounts reset to 250,000 and even now if you win when you leave the table, you will be reset. We have been e-mailing and calling PartyPoker, but to no avail. They say they can do what they want."
While the new changes appear to be final, as a gesture of goodwill to its play money players, PartyPoker is going to run a special $1,000 freeroll plus the chance to win an all-expenses paid trip for two to watch this month’s PartyPoker Premier League in Las Vegas. The site will have more details on the freeroll soon.

Hello Brett Collson,
Re: PartyPoker
For your information I can also tell that those who have real money accounts by PartyPoker did not get robbed of their millions or billions of playchips.
So PartyPoker treats people different and that is discrimination.
February 3rd, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Is that a joke?
There are many sites where you can buy playmoney chips. They were transferring billions of chips in minutes. It only is possible with PartyPoker help and support. Now PartyPoker talk about illegal transfers. PartyPoker, or someone working in there, was helping sellers.
I never did buy chips. I won my millions by myself and playing for years in PartyPoker.
February 3rd, 2010 at 2:36 pm
It’s a shame, I really enjoyed the site. 30Mil gone. So am I. Fortunately there are other sites. I will check back a few times over the next month to see if they re-think their policy otherwise I will never play there again.
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:22 pm
its a shame we had to go to the us attorney generals office and they recomemmended a law firm to file a class action suite again party poker since party poker wont listen we will shut them down
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:23 pm
PP, I AM A REAL MONEY PLAYER AND IF IT’S THE CHIP SELLERS YOU WERE AFTER TO SHUT DOWN (with your update)….WHY CONDEMN YOUR LOYAL PLAYERS? YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE ENJOYMENT OF THE SITE AND THE UNITY AMONGST FRIENDS…YOU ARE SAYING CHIP SELLERS ARE SCAMMING REAL MONEY PLAYERS BUT LOOK IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD…YOU (PP) OFFERING BONUSES TO NEW MONEY PLAYERS THEN MAKE GUIDELINES SOOOOO HIGH TO REACH FOR LIL BONUS AMOUNTS…THAT IS A SCAM TO REAL MONEY PLAYERS…
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:36 pm
i also had an account for 6 years i had in the memory of my best friend who passed away I won every chip in that account and logged it the other day and was down to 250,000.. I cannot make a real account cause I live in the USA..The account only had 64 mills in it that i had won now it has 250,000 makes me sad that they discrimate against usa players knowing we can’t make real money accounts..now they are offering a tournament for non us play money players to play in a tourny to make real money account and to come to las vegas which i believe is in the usa..why bring your sorry ass to are country for a tournament when you are not fare to usa players..
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Party Poker made the biggest mistake of their lives when they switched to this “new” genre. Instead of keeping the hundreds of thousands of people who played daily on their site, they have alienated them, taken what they believe to be hard earned “play chips”, taken away the around the world friendships that were made because of Party Poker and totally pissed everyone off because they did not have the guts, or maybe the resources, to go after the ones who wronged them. Anyone with half a brain, which obviously the decision makers at Party Poker dont have, will tell you that you breathe and live your customers, and in Party Poker’s world, potential players. I have played on Party Poker for 4 years, and will never come back again. Living in the United States we can not have real money accounts, which we all know is really behind what Party Poker wanted out of all this. All persons I’ve met, from around the world, who have had real money accounts with Party Poker, have pulled their “money” and gone on to other poker sites because of what they did with the play money, makes many think, what will they do with real money.
Congratulations Party Poker, you went from the number 1 site for poker players right down to the bottom. I do hope that you gave raises to the executive members who made this decision.
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:39 pm
partypoker is just discriminating against USA player’s because those who have real money accounts are able to keep their millions and billions. if they are going to punish some, they should punish all. in fact, it’s their way to get people to deposit onto their site. who would deposit real money onto a site that steals play money chips. they also have been contradicting themselves since the beginning. first they blame those who sell chips, then they say it’s to stop people betting “high’ on no limit tables. what’s the point of no limit if theirs a limit on chips and betting. i can’t wait to see this site go down the drain.
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:40 pm
why didnt they go after the chip sellers it would have been easy enough 2 do they were addvertising on the tables . pp could pretended 2 buy from them .then closed there accounts instead taking every bodys . its like hitler hurt every 1 because of a few
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:47 pm
F*** party poker there going down slowly with whats happened and its going to be too late when they change there mind. As i have a way better site in mind and evryone one else will find another that dont treat you like Party poker so my message is to pp what goes around comes around so good luck pp as your going to need it when your players stop playing one by one
February 3rd, 2010 at 3:54 pm
I myself have been on party poker for many years and also made many friends i have to admit i have sold chips over internet and many may brand me for this , but i can without naming names know over 100 different players who have sold chips , my chips have all been won and myself i have lost accounts which total 4-5 billion chips which have took a long time to build up , theres also many poker forums that i have joined over the years that also advertise the sale of chips this has been a common factor for at least 5 years. if this was such a concern it would of been much easier for p poker to have someone to monitor tables for chip dumping and ban there i.ps or actually the main sites selling chips have them closed down , theres many people who have legally played for fun and built up bankrolls who have suffered , i dont think this is all p pokers fault though , i feel for the american public that there goverment needs to address the future of online gambling as americans cant open a real money account on p poker but can have the gambling capital of the world , the slipper doesnt fit the shoe . let hope p poker get wise and have a re- think but i feel the damage is now done and theres no going back .
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:06 pm
I myself have been playing party poker for yearas have had alot of fun. Have a Granddaughter that was very sick she had to be watched around the clock so party pker helped me stay up all night ty very much but i built my bank made lots of friends from all over but i will not play nomore if i cant build bank.
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Recently they showed that they think that they can discriminate against US citizens. What they don’t know is that 10’s of thousands of players have contacted lawyers to go after them. Why do they care how many chips we have we still played on THIER site..Their loss there are many other sites……..LATER LOSERS
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:13 pm
I cannot beleive PP had done this without warning, it was a fun site..now I am broke…took me two years to build up my account. I was a loyal player here, Not anymore.
wat a shame.
I came here to play for fun, Now we are steady rebuy rebuy and when u do it to much it says cannot buy for 5 mins.
all My 22 Million gone in one sweep.
wat a rip off.

:’(
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:23 pm
What we all need to realize is that Party Poker does not care about you unless you pay them. That is like buying a whore to be pleasured. We did not pay for our chips because we won them. Why do they care how we play as long as we played on their site. We had thousands and thousands that went to this site and basically made them what they are. But they chose to want to have us PAY them to let us play. That is ridiculous who buys friends. I can thank them for allowing me to meet some very wonderful people and bringing me to the man I will love the rest of my life. As for the discriminting..well as they say “you reap what you sow”…farewell to Party Poker and hello new sites………………
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:33 pm
If I,m not mistaken when PP first opened the first chip sellers where partly own by PP !!!!
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:33 pm
i have played here 7 years and i am now no longer happy with party poker i would play for hours everyday there but their new policy has me gone i will never play there again. party poker u are a big loser now and will steadily lose all players with ur new policy hope ur happy with urselves ur big losersssssssssss.
February 3rd, 2010 at 4:44 pm
All what we need is, one player with a brave heart and enough money, who took a lawyer
and lift partypoker to the european court.
He never will lose, because its a discrimination of people.
If they wanna stop those chips transfers and chips offering websites , why they are only kick
playmoney players ass and not the realmoney players?
Why the realmoney accounts still got their playchips , and are able to build ap more, without gettn reset to 250k?
But htis is our chance, cause they wont get in trouble with the realmoney players, therefor they didnt touch their accounts.
But if 1 brave heart stands up and threaten to call european court , partypoker got only two choices. Given back our playmoney or taken the playmoney of realmoney accounts too.

I played real money on party poker before the bill was signed making it illegal. I also spent a good amount of time playing histakes NL holdem tables and had built up over 80 million on my new account after closing my real money account. Now that party poker has dropped the ability to build a bankroll, myself and dozens if not hundreds of friends have moved to other sites. I wont namedrop but party poker had other ways to handle what was going on, they chose the wrong method. After all , Isnt the fun in playing NL TX Holdem building a bankroll?
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:42 pm

February 3rd, 2010 at 6:49 pm
REAL MONEY HOLDERS WITHDRAW ALL YOUR MONIES TILL SANITY PREVAILS YA CAN ALWAYS REJOIN ONLY THEN WILL THEY REACT WHEN THEY SEE PEOPLE WITHDRAWING UNITED WE STAND UNITED WE FALL
February 3rd, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Well, I hope (PP) is happy . I for one live in the (USA) and can (NOT) open a real money acct. I have played on (PP) over 6 yr’s now and almost on a 24/7 basis because I had fun and enjoyed making friend’s and winning as well as losing. (That’s Poker)~~~ But…I don’t like the fact that I have won over the year’s was” over-night” taken away from me. We both know (unless your completely stupid, which apparently you are)? that greed is the back-bone of whatever choices you just made. Ya want more real money player’s? Ya get tired of what you call losing play-chip’s? Are you serious? Explain to me how you lose play-chip’s? (Don’t pinch a nerve thinking)!! It is really sad that whoever is in charge of (Party Poker’s) success has just ruined the reputation of (Party Poker) in one very stupid move. Now I am wondering…You say it’s the chip-seller’s you want to stop, but you sell chip’s? So tell me what you mean when you do that? But remember, player’s inside the (USA) can do nothing. We can’t not play real money, We can NOT buy play-chip’s. Christ, we can’t even call (Party Poker) if we have a legit problem because (Party Poker) does (NOT) allow (US) player’s to call them for any reason.So you think of the big change and saddly it will in time (if not already)? it has effecting you and your site!! CONGRATULATION’S!!
February 3rd, 2010 at 7:16 pm
cry cry cry little babies – lmao – party poker gave you 5,000 free chips (and each time you went broke they gave you 5,000 more) and a free website to play 24 hours per day – along with that came some simple rules – you cry cry cry little babies broke those rules and used 3rd party software to “steal seats” meaning getting seated in front of players waiting in line to sit at a certain table – also party poker allowed you to have 5,000 more chips free on their sister sites ( party bingo, casino, backgammon) so you took advantage of that and you put your pp nic in omaha and put all your chips on the table so you would appear broke to pp software then you sat your “appearing broke” nic at a casino table and at bingo table and a backgammon table and received another free 5,000 chips at each then you took those back to the pp omaha table and put those on the table then you repeated this using auto play macros and building your accts at the rate of 15.000 chips every 4 seconds so you could amass 225,000 chips per minute 13.5 million per hour and you would do it for about 10 hours while thousands watched you do it then you took 135 to 150 million chips and locked up tables with 10 players of the same cheating ilk and would let your auto play macros run for 30 hours until the table accumulated about 5 billion chips then you would all sit out while each seat was passed back 500 million chips then you would play your high stakes game with antes of 20 million or so and you blatantly flew all of this in the face of party poker and other players and you arrogantly called yourself “pumpers” and you called other players “clickers” and if any “clickers” came on your table then you arrogantly attacked them both verbally and with more macro 3rd party software to run them off – most of you were lousy poker players and player recklessly and lost most of your millions of chips and were too lazy to create more and party poker was able to limit your chip manufacturing activities to 3 million created per acct so you made 100’s of accts and filled up tables with those accts and fed all your 3 million per acct chips into one acct using more macros and 3rd party software and when you did not want to take the time to do this you went to many sites that “spammed” party poker tables using more macros and 3rd party software advertising chips for sale you went to these sites and bought millions of chips for less then 40 cents per million and you kept this up making many actions impossible for the “clicker” players you openly disdained. – So, in short, you got your come-up-ance – you made your forums and bragged to each other how party poker could not stop you that no matter what changes party poker made you could beat those changes – you so believed your self gratification braggadocia that you became totally over bearing on a free site that did nothing but give to you without you ever paying so much as a penny to them – so now they did what you said they could not do – they beat you by simply pulling the plug on your rubber dolly and let the air out of your date – but yes I saw recently where some of you have now come up with ways to get around this new limitation pp has put on – so hats off to you there which just prompts just one last question and that is” if you are so smart and talented, and you are, to constantly defeat a multi- million dollar operation such as pp that handles approximately $10 million per day in real money transactions, why don’t you put your talent to some productive use and make some real millions for yourself and your family and forget about doing battle for fake chips from pp – last i saw fake chips could not even fan a decent fart away. Good luck and bright futures to all of you – and stop crying – thanks
February 3rd, 2010 at 7:38 pm
PP out and out lies.
When I called they and asked what was going on they said it was due to illegal chip sellers. I asked why they didn’t track them down and shut them down via the websites they advertised or ip address and they said that they “don’t monitor play money tables”
If this is true how do they know about chip vendors and “chip dumping”?
I have found files imbedded in my computer after several of their “upgrades” I am sure it was to track the activity on their site.
If they think people are stupid enough to trust them with their credit cards to open a real money account when they can’t be trusted with fake chips they must be on cheap drugs.
If they were to roll us all back and make us start over I could live with that, as long as I can keep what I win. There is no point in playing on their otherwise.
Yes I gave chips away to people who had none but not once did I ever take 1 red cent for them, and I never gave a large amount, just enough so the person could play the big tables and try to build their own bank. These were chips I played to win, I never bought a chip ever. The chip sellers were a thorn in our side too popping into the middle of a game.
I hope Party Poker is proud of themselves thinking that offering 1 freeroll is going to make it all go away. They might as well post a banner saying we think you are all stupid enough to buy into this.
I have no intention of ever watching the WPT ever again much less patronize any of their sponsors or advertizers.
I will however take the time and make the effort to let them all know why, I won’t support them.
Party Poker executives are no more than liers and thieves.
February 3rd, 2010 at 7:42 pm
well i made a nic in my mothers that had passed away in honor of her over 6 yrs ago had played it and build it up and i would do it again but 4 the fact u gonna take what i make 2 240 pp is off all my pc and paty poker as my mom would say can KMA

February 3rd, 2010 at 9:05 pm
This is highway robbery, Most of player spend endless time to build up their account for months and years, Now all the chip is taken away from them…The guys who make this idiot decision should be shot, Instead of going after the chip dealer who selling chip, they going after all the players hard earn chip that they build up for months and years. Now all now to 250K lmao… I hope your stock tanks and what you did to many of us…
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:08 pm
I was one of those loyal players for party poker..been on this site for years n never did buy chips instead discouraged the buying of chips by helping those with what chips i had! What party poker doesn’t understand is that people all over the world gathered through this site to play together and have a nice time! and also played tournaments to win chips! we have not done anything illegal but try to just play a game we love! Now slowly you are losing players and we are going elsewhere! so congrats on your final upgrade which you gained all our fake chips but in the end who has the last laugh?
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:15 pm
our chips we owned it . Party poker should not decide and takes all our chips, expected players to deposit cash to make real account. Party poker steal what is belongs to us. Party poker is a biggest thief and DO NOT realise how long we been playing …we built up our account so u have no right to take away. Party poker rob us without a gun.
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:25 pm
I was a loyal party poker player…been on this site for years and other poker sites didn’t measure up to your standards, and now with your last upgrade you have pushed us to find other poker sites which do not have so many issues as you do….i have not seen you take play money chips from real account players? why just discriminate the united states????? i am sure a lot of complains will be filed n what you don’t understand is the fact people from all over the world gathered on this site to enjoy the game n the pleasure of making friends and having a great time..the purpose of site like party poker is to take away our stress n daily life issues! n now with your last upgrade not only have u lost players but our respect of how you have handled n made excuses of taking away everyone’s chips in the u.s.a. I hope with you are happy to have pushed your fans to other sites! lets see who has the last laugh???
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:27 pm
PartyPoker says, they did this to stop transfer of chips from account to account outside of regular poker hands…… can they say its not happening now? what are real money account holder doing on tables everyday, they r transfering playmoney chips (which were not touched by PP) same old way, which pp gave as a reason behind their decision.
I m sure all those who were selling chips and making money, have real money accounts too, and must have protected their playmoney accounts (with billions in it) by making a deposite of $25.
With a cap of 250K set on playmoney accounts, who would play and practice when they know even if they win they will lose their winnings next time they log-in. And mind u PP, all these playmoney players r ur potential new real money players. Not only PP is losing current real money account players, but its also losing potential new cash game players. what kind of brains these executives at PP have?
It was lot of fun playing on partypoker, but partypoker is a dead site now.
R.I.P. Partypoker
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:38 pm
While we all know that Party Poker will not reverse it’s obviously biased decision – for loyal players (I have been playing PP for over 6 years and know some players who have played for 10) the site was refreshing as it allowed for the freedom to play innovative high stakes poker games. I never bought chips and neither did hundreds of other players that i knew.
What PP is failing to notice is that they have effectively disintegrated a vibrant SOCIAL NETWORK of loyal players who never played anywhere else but their site and had developed true and lasting friendship and camraderie spanning years of daily playing together. I had at least 400 friends who have left the site permanently now. This decision also effectively killed BRAND LOYALTY to this site by thousands of players.
As mentioned by the post above, the ability to build a bankroll was half the fun of playing. This new policy is frankly ill thought out and discriminatory. It does strike me that if PP has the funding to BUY WPT that they “might” have the resources and technical wherewithal to have weeded out third party chip sellers.
dumb. dumb. dumb. I and all of my friends will never play at PP again – it’s apparent that customer service, brand loyalty and social networking aren’t priorities of this corporation.
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:42 pm
PP just took away our excitement to play..suppose to be a fun site but now its sucks big time .Since they reset our bank to 250k what good is that if u loose that 250k it will take you like 5mins to rebuy in if u win can’t even keep the chips… Wow PP doesnt really care! all they care is to get peoples money..Thanks alot! my favorite nic that i play for 4years now down to 250..
February 4th, 2010 at 12:22 am
Robbing people with their hard earned chips is messed up !!! Shame On You Party POker !!!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:47 am
im disgusted in ur final decision pp would have thought u guys had made the better decision in the end i cannot believe i played here for many years and met great friends some to whom are more than pp i consider them a part of my family i met a special someone here also like many of us have.
But it that final blow u have taken away so much from so many people from disabled and ill to all of people in life thanks pp would never had known u could be so dam cruel and heartless thanks for nothing
February 4th, 2010 at 2:47 am
I am Dutch, so please excuse me when my English is poor.
I have played PP since 2001 and I made a lot of friends. We also had meetings so it was fun when we “met “at a table again.
PP can say they changed their POLICY because of CHIP sellers, but why can’t PP close the SPAM nics which bug us, regular players) every 10 seconds with their stupid spam.
Why buy chips for a PLAY MONEY game?
I have friends helping me out with a few chips when I am broke.
In the past PP also closed CHIPNICS, so there must be a way to close SELLERS NIC.
What about people playing almost 24/7 on PP?
Some of them I know are really sick, not mobile anymore, and the only thing they HAD was PP.
And since a lot of people left PP and play other sites where building up a bank is possible, these sick people feel more alone now.
Of course, they also could move to an other site, but a lot of people are just used to playing on PP and don’t like a change.
Its unreal that PP can put up 250k in each nic without any notice but people cussing, calling names or even really sick stalkers could play without getting caught.
I saw stalkers threatening others ( I WILL CUT YOUR THROAT), I did send a mail and what did PP answer ? According to our files you don’t have a real money account and blablabla…..u can guess the rest.
So, its NOT about chippers, its NOT loaded banks, ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY and the proof is there.
Ask ANY player having a real money account.
Like I read before, its DISCRIMINATION and I feel especially sorrt for the American players…..they cant do anything.
And I agree with most readers….PP, you suck, and instead of being # 1 on the internet, you have given the other POKERSITES the chance to become THE NUMBER 1 and PP will end up last place.
Good thinking, congrats with your STUPID decision to change YOUR rules.
But in fact…….THE PLAYERS RULE……we can play without PP…..can PP operatie without players?
WELL DONE LOSERS

pp, you are a joke, you make my blood boil.Not only are you liars, you are thieves as well. Look at your site now, they are still pumping, they are still transfering, and they are still selling, tell us pp what have you stopped?? A bsolutly nothing, and what have you achieved? Nothing only to destroy yourself. Look at you now, this is the worst site now that I have ever seen. People swearing cussing hating each other , and you have done that. PP you are going down, and I hope fast, you have developed so much hatred in people, when this used to be a friendly happy family.Shame on you PP you make me sick, discriminating on people that cany afford to open money accounts. well no one will evr trust your site again, and you will go down, we wouldnt open money account s for anything in the world, not now the damage is done. Hope you go bankrupt, and your dumb executives lose all their jobs, I give you a month, and no more PP, you will be just a memory.

cry cry cry little babies – lmao – party poker gave you 5,000 free chips (and each time you went broke they gave you 5,000 more) and a free website to play 24 hours per day – along with that came some simple rules – you cry cry cry little babies broke those rules and used 3rd party software to “steal seats” meaning getting seated in front of players waiting in line to sit at a certain table – also party poker allowed you to have 5,000 more chips free on their sister sites ( party bingo, casino, backgammon) so you took advantage of that and you put your pp nic in omaha and put all your chips on the table so you would appear broke to pp software then you sat your “appearing broke” nic at a casino table and at bingo table and a backgammon table and received another free 5,000 chips at each then you took those back to the pp omaha table and put those on the table then you repeated this using auto play macros and building your accts at the rate of 15.000 chips every 4 seconds so you could amass 225,000 chips per minute 13.5 million per hour and you would do it for about 10 hours while thousands watched you do it then you took 135 to 150 million chips and locked up tables with 10 players of the same cheating ilk and would let your auto play macros run for 30 hours until the table accumulated about 5 billion chips then you would all sit out while each seat was passed back 500 million chips then you would play your high stakes game with antes of 20 million or so and you blatantly flew all of this in the face of party poker and other players and you arrogantly called yourself “pumpers” and you called other players “clickers” and if any “clickers” came on your table then you arrogantly attacked them both verbally and with more macro 3rd party software to run them off – most of you were lousy poker players and player recklessly and lost most of your millions of chips and were too lazy to create more and party poker was able to limit your chip manufacturing activities to 3 million created per acct so you made 100’s of accts and filled up tables with those accts and fed all your 3 million per acct chips into one acct using more macros and 3rd party software and when you did not want to take the time to do this you went to many sites that “spammed” party poker tables using more macros and 3rd party software advertising chips for sale you went to these sites and bought millions of chips for less then 40 cents per million and you kept this up making many actions impossible for the “clicker” players you openly disdained. – So, in short, you got your come-up-ance – you made your forums and bragged to each other how party poker could not stop you that no matter what changes party poker made you could beat those changes – you so believed your self gratification braggadocia that you became totally over bearing on a free site that did nothing but give to you without you ever paying so much as a penny to them – so now they did what you said they could not do – they beat you by simply pulling the plug on your rubber dolly and let the air out of your date – but yes I saw recently where some of you have now come up with ways to get around this new limitation pp has put on – so hats off to you there which just prompts just one last question and that is” if you are so smart and talented, and you are, to constantly defeat a multi- million dollar operation such as pp that handles approximately $10 million per day in real money transactions, why don’t you put your talent to some productive use and make some real millions for yourself and your family and forget about doing battle for fake chips from pp – last i saw fake chips could not even fan a decent fart away. Good luck and bright futures to all of you – and stop crying – thanks

Well after reading carefully an edited e mail concerning play chips from pp. All i can say is pp are offering double standards here. I checked the party poker site out and was amazed to see Chip Sellers advertising to Real Money players. Will Party Poker pull the plug on real accounts now – no i dont think so. I am sure party poker are aware of these advertisements and i am now watching to see wot they are going to do about this. I suspect nothing.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:23 am
i was one of the players of party poker, i played years like my frends, was verynice site. we didnt need to go other sites we were happy. but now..?? i have also real money acc. but i dont play anymore on partypoker..WAKE UP FRENDS, what they do today for playmoney players will do for REAL MONEY acc. same..i say party poker is not to trust anymore……WAKE UP..and..dont log for a monht….let them see that YOU..very importend…whitout you all is party poker nothing…..JUST WAKE UP and dont log anymore…
February 4th, 2010 at 8:23 am
Party poker should be boycotted and not ever be allowed to sponsor a tournement in the US. Any US pro should be ashamed of themselves for associating themselves with this WORTHLESS THIEVEING ONLINE POKER SITE. US pros should stand up and support the 10s of thousands of people party poker has done this too.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:30 am
Well Well Well….alll you whiney ppl are doing not good complaining cause its just gonna make them stay with thier decisions ….If you would quit complaining and carry on with your life (Poker aint all there is to life!!) then you will find out that you mighhttttttt have more fun …Your all disgusting to be putting down Party Poker they have only done to stop all the chipping cheating and the transferring of your thieving arses. Get a life Grow Up and Move on Poker aint all there is out there …get outside you might find out

GOOD RIDDANCE PARTY POKER
February 4th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Its good to know how Partypoker is to his clients, so i took my real money acc. and go to another site that will take care of me and my friends. The Management from Partygaming changed and the former boss Anurag Dikshit sell his company and we see that the new owner only want to maximize the profit so BYE BYE PARTYPOKER maximize your profit without me.
February 4th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
1st of all Bychin dont help people.What needs to be done is PartyPoker to sever ties with the USA and let us play poker again.I would bet 10.000 + would sign up within a couple weeks if not faster.I play Real Money on 4 other sights which ill name if my friends that read this hit me up on hoo lol.
2nd thing is the 250,000 reset Even they know thats not a fair decision.a 20million cap like most sites would be fair.
3rd Wanna stop the sellers then get rid of chat on playmoney accounts
Heres the E-Mail i got from them and it is discrimination againt play money players.
Dear Player,
Thank you for sharing your inputs in regards to the 250,000 chip
restriction. For the benefit of the vast majority of our play money
players, we have taken the decision to restrict the maximum number of
play chips any single player may earn to this amount because a very
small minority of poker players have been disrupting games by betting
large amounts on any kind of hand. They may think it’s fun but it’s
certainly not for other players who understand fair play and enjoy the
fun and excitement of playing poker games for free.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the capping of play money
chips but we hope you understand that our sole aim is to ensure that you
experience better standards of fair play on the tables.
We also apologise to the players of free money casino games who have
seen a reduction in the amount of their free money chips – we had to
impose the cap across the board. The cap on play money chips makes no
difference to the type or number of games that our customers can play.
We hope you understand why we have taken this decision – we do not
tolerate unfair play in any form on our play money or our real money
sites. This is for your benefit. This restriction does not affect Real
Money accounts as their play money balance remains unchanged from one
login to the next.
We hope you appreciate our efforts to keep a healthy gaming environment
on our play money games and guarantee an enjoyable experience for our
players.
Best Regards,
Customer Service
Have Fun and Gamble Responsibly
Thanks for your time;
X_PapaSmurf
To all my friends on PP love you guys…..
February 4th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
u have taken away so much from so many people from disabled and ill … they play and meet people from all over.. we could play for a hour or two and forget our handicaps you took that away from them and me…party poker used to be a top site not any more.. please rethink your new rules any give us back our play chips thank you
February 4th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
What they did was wrong!! Their purpose for the limit on chips is pointless when chip selling and transferring chips still exist. Real money players have no limit on the chips that they win on play money tables……how is that fair????? What is the point in playing on your site if you dont get to keep what you win????? I uninstalled Party Poker and am now playing at PKR.com, along with many others! I hope to see a class action lawsuit soon!!
February 4th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
To all my true friends on party poker i had fun i will never forget u lot are the best
February 4th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
I HAD NEAR 230 MILLION PLAY MONEY CHIPS AFTER PLAYING AT PARTYPOKER FORA FEW YEARS.WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS A SHAME AND A DISGRACE.IF YOU HAVE A REAL MONEY ACCOUNT WITH THEM,TAKE SOME GOOD ADVICE AND TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE.IF THEY WILL BE DISHONEST WITH PLAY MONEY THEY WILL DO THE SAME WITH REAL MONEY.THEY DESERVE TO LOSE ALL OF THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS AFTER STEALING ALL OF THE MILLION AND BILLLIONS OF PLAY MONEY CHIPS FROM LOYAL PLAYERS.GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN BECAUSE PARTYPOKER IS GOING DOWN.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
I would contact their online gaming regulators..ecogra.org and gra.gi….im sure pp was part owner of the first couple of chip sellers on their site. and for all the people that never got paid from pp for hitting the jackpots
February 4th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
where is my 94 mil??????????
February 4th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
What a disgrace this is taking everybodys chips.They could have been decent about it and advised people what was going to happen first.We are now suffering the consequences of chip sellers on pp.It would have been alot cheaper for them to go after these idiots, rather then losing all their Loyal players. You cannot hold everyone responsible for these chip sellers..Be fair about it pp Shut down the right people not innocent fans that regulary played on your site
February 4th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
I PLAYED 5 YEARS BUILT UP 342 MIL AND PP WIPED IT OUT ..IF YOU WIN THEY TAKE ANYTHING OVER 250 K
1 BAD DAY YOU LOSE YOU LOSE IT ALL …WELL WHAT FUN IS THAT WIN 3 WEEKS 1 BAD DAY YOUR A CLICKER ..PP YOUR SRY TO DO WHAT YOU DID..I WOULD ASK YOU WHAT R U THINKING..BUT OBVIOUSLY YOUR NOT THINKING..
February 4th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Party Poker’s actions are discriminatory in nature, no 2 ways about it. And, the fact of the matter is there are people out there that do purchase chips. The advertisers that Party Poker let come onto their tables day in and day out made money. I, for one, do not believe for one minute that Party Poker did not profit in some way from those sales. The people who purchase chips, lost something of value. It was taken from them without their consent, without notice. In this day and age, where the economy is sluggish … why would the idiot running this business take such action? The USA patrons are not supposed to be able to be Real Money players … although they can get around it. They sure don’t monitor the creeps on the site … the stalkers, the thieves … no wait … they are among the thieves now. I personally lost about 700 million. Fake chips … yes … but they were my fake chips that I played with, shared with friends in need. If I wanted to blow them I could … they were MINE TO LOSE….I won them. I have played at other sites, and they are not as much fun … but, I guess if they are HONEST, I’ll get used to them. Party Poker can go straight to hell because they don’t deserve to thrive. Cater to real money???? Go ahead. Real money players shouldn’t trust Party Poker either … if they will steal FAKE chips, what’s to stop them from taking the real stuff … maybe they were just practicing on us.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
The recent downgrade at Party Poker defeats the purpose of free online poker practice as it does NOT follow the rules of Hoyle for Texas Holdem No Limit Poker. Tournament play is the only time limits are set for this poker game. Regular play for No Limit Texas Holdem does not have limits, thus the name of the game. Sit at any live poker table, and you are allowed to play with unlimited amounts, you can even reach into your pocket and put more on the table. They will hold your seat while you run to the ATM. Party Poker is unofficially trying to change the rules of Hoyle. Those that sell fake chips for profit should be addressed in another manner, rather than punish the many for the few.
February 5th, 2010 at 12:19 am
HOW DISAPPOINTING TO SEE PEOPLE SIGNING UP TO REAL ACCOUNTS JUST TO PLAY PUMPS AN JESTERS SHAME AS YOU ARE FALLING ITNO THE TRAP PAYING TO PLAY WHAT YOU HAD FOR FREE WITH FOOLS LIKE THAT PP WILL NEVER CHANGE AN GIVE IT TIME YOU REAL MONEY PEOPLE WILL FIND IT HARDER TO GET GAMES AS PP IS PUTTING DUMMIES AT TABLES N HAVING LESS TABLES OPEN WHEN THEY DO SAME AS THEY DID TO PLAY ACCOUNTS AN YOU LOSE YOUR REAL MONEY ALL ILL SAY IS HA HA FOOLS FOR SIGNING UP WAKE UP FOOLS YA DONT PAY FOR SOMETHING YOU HAD FREE JUST WHEN YOU GET ROBBED OF YOUR REAL DOLLARS DONT COMPLAIN AS YOU SEEN IT COMING WAKE UP AN SMELL THE ROSES

February 5th, 2010 at 11:14 am
I am totally disgusted that I still see people pumping and transferring within Party Poker. Please stop them!!!!!!!!!
February 5th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
PP is discriminating against Americans, stealing chips from accounts, and refusing to do anything about it. Dumping chips is still going on people are chipping the 250k in multi accounts and dumping them into real money accounts and the selllers are still advertising on the chat board so what have you accomplished PP? You accomplished making Poker Stars a much stronger site, plus Im having more fun over there, they monitor their play chip site and do not allow harrassment or bad language on the tables and do not allow discriminating or insulting remarks a monitor shows up and cuts off the chats of the offenders They allow transfering chips to friends but do not allow begging for chips from other players. I really enjoy playing Pokerstars. Thanks pp for sending me there. I have deleted party poker software since they deleted my chips. As far as he clickers on Party Poker who complained about chip dumping and stuff… why are you clicking? After a while if you know how to play poker you shouldnt have to click anymore, you are just little whinners and have no skill and want to blame someone else.. wah wah… I have been playing on a new site ever since pp upgraded this last time and took my chips I had to start with very few chips I now have almost a million chips I have won. Thank goodness Poker Stars doesnt limit to 250k
February 5th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Fortunately there are other sites. I will check back a few times over the next month to see if they re-think their policy otherwise I will never play there again
February 5th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
i played poker with play chips built them up to a few million, then they were stole from me by party poker.. you are losing alot respect by the people who play poker for real and play.. pp rethink this and put the fun back into party poker..
February 5th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
what have you accomplished PP? alot of people going to poker star site and other sites..
party poker was once a great site for us until you took away our chips we won… you should rethink this and be fair.. restate the chips we won. so no limit is a true no limit again please forward this to anyone in party poker who may help thank you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
February 5th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Does anyone at PP have a brain…if you put a cap of 250k why have a maximum buy in of 100k ..I guess after robbing billions nothing bothers you ..and you can take your promotions and shove it where the sun don’t shine…Like i worte earlier im contacting pps on line gaming regulators ecogra.com…the first chip sellers on pp were owned by pp…and i heard pps hasnt paid out some people who won jackpots for real money…
February 6th, 2010 at 10:23 am
yeah, yeah…….. dont give more than 250K for chipplayer. but if u have a real account
u can have billions , hahahahahah
what a great bull chit
February 6th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Where are all the hackers? Surely some of them played PP and have been screwed. Can we have muliple DOS for PP please.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:41 am
later party pooper, you have just killed your nice tidy company!
February 7th, 2010 at 2:05 am
I CONGRATULATE CITY ON WITHDRAWING HIS/HER MONEY FROM REAL ACCOUNT IF ALL REAL MONEY ACCOUNT HOLDERS DID SAME IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS AN STOOD UP UP FOR THE REST WE WOULD HAVE HAD OUR CHIPS BACK CONGRATULATIONS CITY YOUR A CHAMPION PITY REST DIDNT FOLLOW YOU NO MONEY MEANS NO BUSINESS WITHDRAW AN THEY FALL THE ROOSTER STILL CROWS
February 7th, 2010 at 6:29 am
ARE YES IF IT WASNT FOR PEOPLE LIKE( STARSHIP) WE WOULDNT BE IN THIS MESS
February 7th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
Mamma Mia, Nobody ever prevented you from sitting at a table. So stop peddling your BS Party Poker propaganda. I hope you are a stock holder in that 10 million dollar a day business. Then I can LMFAO at your ridiculous remarks. Sounds to me like you’re crying more than anyone else.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Nl 50/100 was a creation of a whole new poker game. It wasn’t poker but it was something and it was fun. Good bye party poker. Principle.
February 9th, 2010 at 6:16 am
4 years of fun down the tubes build my account to 10million with fair play. this site stinks like the rest of the world just another way of sticking it to the public
February 10th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
This just shows how smart PP owners are, they screw up their programming and piss everyone off. when all they had to do is this! sell chips!!! then allow people to make privite tables so their choice of game play will not affect everyone else adversly. I have been writing programs for years that take advantage of their programming and still can, and will! rather than bitch, moan and complain about their new layout, just adapt to it. to all those pumpers out there, start pumping on their small blinds tables. if we can’t have it how we want, make it a bitch for them to conduct their daily bussiness!!!!!!!!!!
SCREW YOU PARTY POOPER, I will do all I can to hassle you and screw you as you have all us!
February 12th, 2010 at 12:08 am
I hadn’t logged into my partypoker account since before Xmas. I logged in the day before yesterday after I had to reformat my harddrive only to find 450mil (I had been playing since 2006) in play chips were gone from account. I was never a pumper and I never used any macros to get those chips. All were taken from me. I was left with 250,000 in my account. I emailed partypoker to ask what was up, they didn’t even have the nerve to warn any of the registered members of the actions they were taking. This is ridiculous. I’m not even getting any response from them. The only reason they have done this is because they have never been able to get rid of the macro users and now they punish all of us.
February 12th, 2010 at 12:09 am
PS>>>> It is not just Americans they are doing it to, it is also Canadians.
February 12th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
What lies is Party Poker going to come up with now. They say it was the chip sellers that caused the problems and we lost everything. So tell me this Party Poker 2 weeks on and guess what the chip sellers are still chipping, transferring and spamming all tables. Wonder why that is? Love to hear your answer Party Poker
February 13th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
that is because party poker is the ones selling the chips, just my thoughts think about it
February 14th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
ive been playing on this site for years building my play money bankroll. while i had 135 million and all of a sudden i have next to nothing…!!! you bastards i worked and played my ass off to win those play money chips you have no right..!!! go after those bastards selling or trying to sell the chips. give all of us what we earned back..!!! dammit i’m pissed..!!!
February 15th, 2010 at 2:09 am
aRE YOU KIDDING ME ….ADVANCE TO GO …COLLECT MORE THAN 250,000 TOO MANY OTHER SITES GREAT JOB PP HOPE THAT EXECUTIVE DECISION GIVES EM ALL A RAISE BETTER- RE-THINK THIS ONE ……..SO LONG PP
February 15th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
Tuffa Chitta Mama Mia @ You have it right, many were using 3rd party software, macros programs, and cheating the system, and mistreating many players. Now with the game capped out, the game is much more fairer, and now maybe when can see real skill on the tables, and not just pumpers cheating people out of their chips, and robbing the tables to sit there and play with their dishonest earnings. Now that party poker has realized how how bad it was to start with, they finally fixed the system, and many other websites will do the same. So down with the selfish, spiteful, malicious, dirty, greedy people who play poker on these softwares. Its time for fair play.
February 19th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Has everybody gone NUTZ. It’s a friggin game. I had 54 million dollars.
SO WHAT! IT’S NOT REAL..
Hell, it isn’t even like real poker. Have any of you played real games against people FACE TO FACE. That is poker.
Go play some tournaments, or a sit and go. Thats more like real poker….
Jesus people, GET A FRIGGIN LIFE.
February 19th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
One other point.
PP uses play money games to entice people to play with REAL money.
You have not, and don’t pay a F’ING DIME to play.. SO SHUTTUP.
Nothing was stolen from you. Morons.
February 19th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
I think this new rule is very stupid. I built my bankroll up to 1.2 Billion in 2 years, and now all is gone.
March 3rd, 2010 at 5:08 pm
I have around 40 000 000 chips– there gone… now i will newer make any deposit on that site, maybe that will gone to… unbeliveble…
March 6th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
I MAD!
March 13th, 2010 at 12:31 am
WOW! Major Bummer. I had been playing PP since 2005, Had built up 165 mil, just by playing. I’m smart, I know they’re play chips. It was just kind of a status thing among myself and several friends who live in different parts of the country and found a way to play poker together. I never chip dumped or bought chips. I DID win a lot of hands against yahoos who tried to buy the pot every time. Oh well, was time for a new site anyway. Few companies ever recover from blatantly pissing off their customers, I fear PP will join a distinguished list on has-beens and never-mores.
Thanks for giving me a good reason to change poker sites.
