PARTY POKER UPGRADES

20 July 2007

Faster points and personal Hosts for VIPs and convenience features break new ground

PartyPoker.com has announced an upgrade that includes the opportunity to earn PartyPoints faster; a new level of service and a series of features extending the customer service experience.

The upgraded PartyPoints program gives players the chance to earn points at up to 400 percent of the standard rate, and there is potential to hit a private level beyond that. Points can be earned on any of the PartyGaming brands including PartyPoker, PartyCasino, PartyBets, Gamebookers.com, PartyBingo and PartyGammon and exchanged for cash, tournament entries and soon a series of other products and services.

In addition, every VIP is now allocated an experienced host to provide personal service and be the single point of contact for any and all issues on PartyPoker or any other PartyGaming products around the clock. The firm claims that this new offering is the first of its kind in the online gaming industry. "It means someone who knows gaming and knows you will be there for you whatever your gaming needs." said a PartyPoker.com spokesman.

Three improvements to make players' experience easier and better are part of the upgrade.

The first is to allow for the expansion of the poker table for the larger 1024x768 screen resolution commonly found on today's monitors. It's accomplished simply by clicking the maximisation button or dragging the corner of the window. "Players have long been able to shrink our tables to allow many to fit simultaneously on the screen, now single-table players can fill the screen with their gaming experience," the spokesman said.

Easy replays and rematches have also been tweaked. Now when players bust out or win a tournament, they'll be immediately asked if they would like to play in another one of the same type. One click and the registration for the next event is available. There are also new rematch facilities against the same player with just a click. When the heads-up tournament is finished, each participant will be asked whether they would like to play again. If both click 'yes', another heads up will immediately begin.
