Hi this is my first post, just wanted to share a recent experience with others who may fall into the same trap as me.
I recently deposited $500 into my Party account, the account was created about 2 years ago.
I played a little Blackjack and Poker but then decided my deposit could be better used elsewhere, I had lost about $18. I requested a withdrawal and went to bed. Next morning I got an email saying my deposit had been reversed, it seems Party have changed their rules about 4 months ago, to withdraw a deposit you now have a to accumulate partypoints to the value of 15% of your deposit before you can take your money back out, so I need to make 75 partypoints.
I argued for a while with Customer Support who were very unsympathetic, basically their view was my Party account isn't a bank account, the money was deposited for a purpose and I am expected to play their games once I have deposited.
In the end I 3-tabled playing poker at the $1 LIMIT until I had made the 75 points but I won't play there again!
