These days, the largest online event of the year with a prize fund of $ 5,000,000 is taking place at the PartyPokerpoker room - a multi-day PartyPoker MILLIONS Online. And despite the fact that Pati this year shows itself only from the best side, it is impossible to deny the crookedness of assembling their client - the constant lags in the lobby come up very often. But the fact that the software room will fail the company at the most crucial moment, no one could have guessed. During the day of 1A the tournament was supposed to stop at the end of level 16, but this did not happen ... In the hand tournament they were able to stop only after 40 minutes, and during this time, some players rallied, which in theory were not supposed to play above the norm. Pati decided to roll back the stacks of players that had flown out of the tournament to level 16. And to the quality of compensation for inconvenience gave entrance tickets to other events worth $ 109 and $ 215.

When it comes to online gaming anything can happen. You can have the best equipment and personnel, and yet something like that to happen. The compensation they got with the tournament tickets was a very good one. A free chance for some big money.

Winning that title against pokerstars did not help party poker in this issue. They had to stop at the end of level 16 but they did not. Now they will pay compensatory damages for a likely moderator's mistake. I hope that in the future party poker be more careful for not to pay compensation.
if we say absolutely honestly, the program of this poker site is of course long overdue and if it is changed then it is necessary to do some cardinal changes ... of course many players are accustomed to this program of this site but time is moving forward and therefore changes are needed in this

The problems they are having according to posts here from brm members, are much less, than the ones they used to have. At some point they used to have a technical problem every couple of days. But players are getting compensated at the end after all. And with all that good promotions they are having, no one is leaving

I have played some games in this poker room party. Not too much because i quit quickly. Maximum 4-5 games because i really did not like their software. now i can not play there but i hope in 2018 to buy a license in my country. They will have much more exciting tournaments and i hope to play in party poker because tournaments in 888 is weak and in pokerstars i do not play.

I don't think that anyone is insured about this- mistakes do happen and it really doesn't matter are we talking about one site, online poker as a whole or even brick and mortar games- mistakes happen everywhere. now of course how you deal with them shows a lot about you or your company.

This was not funny in such a big tournament, off course. But it can happen at a online poker room. And it seems that PartyPoker do all what they can, to comensate the players. With a good run in the tournament at day 1a and a big stack, this thing was evrry bad, but sometimes it can happen.
