U.S. dormant account fees....

U.S. players had insult added to injury last week when emails from Party Poker started arriving informing them that the company was charging them a $5 a month dormant account fee.

Given the situation in the United States, where Party Gaming unilaterally and rather hastily withdrew from the market as a result of the Frist legislation that became the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, this seems more than a little unjust.

It certainly has the potential to be profitable if players let Party get away with it; the group had tens of thousands of American players who may have received their credit balances but who's accounts were left open, and that's a lot of $5's every month.

Some players report that the charge was reversed when they complained to Party's Support, and that may be a wise course for players receiving these emails to follow. Despite asking Party Gaming Head Office for an explanation, as we went to press there had been no response.
