As I'm sure you are aware Partypoker has changed their loyalty program and the partypoints are now void. I used my points yesterday to not lose them before theyr disapear. But now I can't register to next week's BRM freeroll. I see there are 26 players registered into it, but the buy-in is points, and points no longer exist...
I believe BRM should get in touch with party to find a solution because it's impossible to register now unless you kept inactive points in your account.

I registred on sunday, just after i finished freeroll, and I am in guess you should try to get 5 points for freeroll in this week, it shouldnt be so hard
Oh, we can still make points? I thought we could only get rakeback now but I see the points are still involved in the new system. My bad.
But still, now that 25 points = 5$ rakeback, that means the BRM freeroll's buy-in is actually 1$ now Partypoints' value was low before now their real value has gone up.
Anyways, we'll see, maybe the BRM staff will know more about this!

Id the change is up to 1$ in terms of rake then it costs the same with the 888poker freeroll to enter. But if it was less before that, they may do adjustments to it, to equalize it, with the value it had before to enter. But then again maybe not If you are grinding regularly in party poker, it wont be a problem.

as I see when I try to register on sundays freeroll (even I have 4,99 party points) getting message that I dont have enough points,that I have 4 and need 5 points for buy in!so probably its same buy in!and when I open party poker software I see that I have 0 points and new system about rakeback and and other things!but when I open party casino software there is old system and I see that I have 4 party points on top of page!so we should earn on old way party points at casino and then use them on party poker

A couple more day for an answer. So there will be time for changes if they agree to it, with the next freeroll on 24th. If you can preregister, just wait for it, it may save you a couple of points

The system has changed and your poker points have gone..... not without huge amounts of forward notice though. From now on only poker points apply to your rakeback reward and not casino. Looks like that applies to points also. Have to start rebuilding those points but it will be interesting to see the outcome of sirthomas enquiry with partypoker.

... < ...Being that I TOO cashed out my points before it was too late ( $60.00USD for 851 points) I had to earn 5 of the NEW points to buy into the game this Sunday,...BUT,...they don't work...! The little thingy that pops up tells me that I have NO points,...but in fact I have more than 5...!
... < ...Let's see what happens by NEXT week,...maybe they'll update it for the new points...!

probably they have some old points and maybe its old system at party casino software!when I log in at casino software,I see old points system,so or they have enough points from past or they earn from playing casino games!

One thing is for sure. If there are not many players in tomorrow, due to that hiccup with the new system, the tournament will have more value. It will be easier to reach the money with bigger prizes. Good luck to all.
Still can't register today so I won't be able to defend my title against the contenders Hopefully this buy-in issue will be fixed for next week's tournament. It says I only have 4 points but these are the old points. The new points don't count, so basically if you did what they told us to do (spend ur points before they go void), then you can't register. Only people who kept 5 old points or more can play it.

After having bought tickets with my points i had 17 points left so i register for this week tournament and went to Party Casino and had 12 points left.
And a few minutes ago i went to next week Sunday tournament and register went back to casino and see i have 7 points left.
So the old points even if you don't see them on Party Poker are still good to enter this tournament.
