"Hello there, This is kinda weird, why do the canadians have a daily 1000$ GTD for 10 PartyPoints as buy-in, which has usually 500 players on and we, the rest of the world, got a ridiculous prized 250$ GTD, where we need to enter by paying 25 PartyPoints, which is alot more than the 10 PartyPoints of the canadian 1000$ GTD... Let me sum up... Canadian's tourney 1000$ GTD 10 PP Around 500 players Rest of the World 250$ GTD 25 PP Around 1000 players Isn't there a mistake? Maybe you guys forgot a 0 (zero) on the prize pool?
Good bye"
This is the email I just sent them... Maybe it would be nice if someone also sent them this message, I dunno... That's really crap what they are doing

Party has some tourneys for certain countrys only. Those for europe are in the evening.
Yes, but come on, they used to be the same for canadians and non canadians... The rest of the world is paying more to play against more people for a worse prize pool!

yOU CAN'T really blame party poker since it could be a part of their marketing strategy. If you would know, since their trying to establish a player base, they would naturally seek those that the others might not have a good solid hold on. In short, they may be trying to get a foothold in the canadian market.

seriously, it's a freeroll. No one is doing anything of the sort you are suggesting.

no seriously, I dont think canadians produce more rake than russians or germans, which are the big majority of PP they just want more profit, and make their players look like clowns playing those freerolls that aren't freerolls, the buy in is 25 PP, and when you get 25 PP you generate 25$ rake to the website, so hey, it is well fuc*** paid. The thing is 25 PP x 1000 players = 25000PP = 25000$ rake generated, and from that they are giving just 1% as prize pool For the canadians is like 10PP x 500 players = 5000PP = 5000$ rake generated, and they give 20% as prize pool, huge difference hum?!
