It looks like the problem is on the PokerStrategy site and they don´t want to inform us about reality... .. they hope for our silence
This is just not right, i dont see why would they blame party poker and pass the responsibility to them.
This is a promo run by PS, party has nothing to do with it. It is not advertised anywhere on the party sites.
Thing is PS rakes so much money from us, this is just a bit of the money they raked from us in the first quarter. Pretty sure they already got their share of the money we raked but for some reason keep blaming this 2 months delay on party.
Very very scummy of Pokerstrategy to do this.
I wrote to Party Poker and I got the answer:
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your e-mail.
I am afraid that you would need to contact the affiliate in question for more information about the promotion and the payout.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries.
Kind regards,

Its ridiculous, why you run the promotion if you have no money to pay out?

I guess you don't understand how the promotion works even though it has been explained to you and to others a few times over. These promotions require both party and PokerStrategy to work together.
It's up to party to distribute the money once everything has been verified. It would be a failure on their part if this wasn't done in a timely manner. As you can see the iPoker payouts were already made.
Historically, partypoker were the most troublesome site when it came to outsourcing promotions. I remember back in the day when there used to weekly freerolls at different sites it was ALWAYS the partypoker one's that caused trouble (either they cancelled or there were some kind of "technical difficulties"
I get that everyone is upset about the delay and I certainly wouldn't be pleased about the situation but blaming PokerStrategy/Marta/moderators etc is assigning the blame in the wrong direction.

Having dealt with partypoker support regarding personal queries over the last few months I have come to notice they are the most useless organisation. When they were running the first Powerfest promotion some of their staff didn't know about free tickets being issued when you played four events and were adamant I was wrong even when I linked them to their own website.
In other words, don't believe a word from them because they are terrible!
^ i guess you really dont understand how much money Pokerstrategy has raked from my volume on party poker.
they get around 40% of what i raked life time, thats a 6 digit number
i understand how promos work, dont worry, PS does this promotion so they gonna have people deposit on party and rake for them, get their share of the rake then forget to pay us, the grinders
this has shit to do with party poker, its a promo ran by PS where they gonna pay us a share of the rake they get from us, easy to understand
pretty sure PS can pay everybody here with a fraction of the money they made from me last 5 years but its easier for them to blame it on party.
i repeat, party has nothing to do with this promotion, they just pay % of the money we rake to PS and PS payes us back , very simple indeed

Correct, and better still I don't care, because it is completely irrelevant and has no bearing on this issue whatsoever. I deal in cold, hard facts because that is what really matters.
Having dealt with this situation on multiple occasions in the past you will get your money but only when partypoker get off their backsides and pay you.
But you have to understand that its the PS's responsibility to pay out the gemstones. Why they are not giving any information about the date of the payout? If they would say before the deadline that "guy's we are really sorry but we cant pay out your money in time, we will pay out two weeks later" I would be totally patient. But its not happened, and they are just keeping they mouth closed.

They cannot give you a date because they don't know. That's up to party! As far as I'm aware (from reading the thread) that PS has sent the money to party (after the initial delays with getting the date collected, collated and checked) and now it's up to party to send the money to players accounts. PS has no control over that whatsoever. As for why they are "keeping their mouths closed" I don't know buddy. Haven't been on the other side for over 2 years.
^ you have no clue, please just mind your own business stop kissing PS ass in this thread.
money comes from party, both for PS and for us.
its a promo made by PS , not by party poker in order to get more people deposit on party and make rake for PS
its all about money
just show me one place on party poker site/fb/twitter where they advertise this promo.
this has nothing to do with partypoker, everything is done by PS and they should pay us the money or give us a date when we gonna receive the cash
That is not how the affiliate system works though. You are just being ignorant now for the sake of it. Yes, you are upset that you haven't been paid and I can totally understand that. I have tried to give you an insight into how this works but you seem to have it in your head that it works in a certain way which is completely incorrect.
I'll leave it at that now. Hope everyone get's paid asap but trust me that won't happen until PARTYPOKER sort their shit out

Not exactly sure what that is going to achieve but if it makes you happy!
I don't like their attitude, the weekend is coming again and no updates, they should act in the case with the regulators or with somebody, because if they had a contract the party breached it. But its strange that, they got the money for the affiliate but we didn't.
Hi,
we are checking with partypoker the status of the payments. I'd also like to get some facts straight:
1. The promotion is organized by PokerStrategy.com together with our partner rooms (iPoker and partypoker in this case) which host the games.
2. In order for the promotion to be successfully finished, including the payment process, we need mutual cooperation.
3. Due to technical issues, staff absences, incomplete data etc. it happens that the payouts might be delayed - like in this case.
4. I agree with you all that this is taking exceptionally long and it can be frustrating. We do apologize.
5. We are now at the final stage - we have sent the reports and are awaiting the payouts to be completed (this technically needs to be done by the operator).
We care for the payouts to land in your accounts, it's in our best interest to finally grant you the rewards you've earned. I will let you know when I hear more from the people who are directly on this case (and who would tell you the same, should you ask them).
Best regards.

Sorry but all the players have a kind of contract with Pokerstrategy.. Pokerstrategy has a contract with Partypoker. So from our (players) point of view Pokerstartegy is responsible for the payout even if you have problem with Partypoker still You as Pokerstartegy is responsible. I (we) do not care what kind of internal issues You have with Partypoker.
Legally from players point of view we are in contact wit PS you are in contact with Partypoker You have to sort the shit out. From our point Partypoker is a third party.
It is really sad that some people tries to explain that PS is done already everything and thats the way how it works, thats fully wrong. You just try to shift Your responsibility to Partypoker. Even if Partypoker goes bankruptcy tomorrow still You as Pokerstartegy is responsible to pay as out.
As Martha You mentioned earlier in one of your post this is a B2B with Partypoker and you cannot give more information, that is correct, we are not interested what problem You as PS has with Partypoker that is your business. Sort it out!!!!!
Anyway, tomorrow I hope will have the time to report this in some official forum like eCogra, etc. I will do.
Info: for all other players, the strange thing that since a while You cannot check Your Partypoints for January neither on Partypoker nor on Pokerstrategy :(((
RIP our money

And on top of that Pokerstartegy is still advertsisng on the main page, why they did not put some information about this issue on the main page??? They simply hiding and shifting the problem and responsibility.
Very very scummy of Pokerstrategy to do this.
