Default PartyBets Feedback Wanted

Can anyone share their experience with PartyBets? How similar to Gamebookere is it?

Software is obviously the same. Lines are not completely the same and Party seemes to be slower to move them than Gamebookers.

Party only offers USD as account currency. Also I sent a mail to Partybets customer service and asked a question about betting limits. The answer I got had nothing to do with betting limits. It sounded like somebody from poker customer service was handling my question.

The cashier is from partypoker I guess and it is not the same as Gamebookers has. Both offer Neteller and moneybookers though.

Played twice there - odds are as Gamebookers, so outside the bonus deals there's not a great incentive to switch. Payouts via Moneybookers were reasonably quickly and efficiently dealt with after an initial security verification (I had to call them, they called me back and asked security questions). No complaints.

I love Partybets! The winning is so easy, their LIVE betting is not 100% of the gamebookers yet, but they are developing it.

A little success

I don't like to dump on a Sportsbook, but..........

My understanding is that Partybet is affiliated with Gamebookers. If so, my experience with Gamebookers was a NIGHTMARE. Would not recommend them to my worst enemy.

A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.

I've just used partybets to get the $100 signup bonus after finding bonus code on another forum.
The sportsbook bonus is $100 matched deposit with a 6 x WR and there is also 20% deposit bonus up to a max of $100 in the casino with same code.
Up until a couple of weeks a go the bonus was only added once you had staked 6 X your initial bonus so basically you had to bet $600 of your own money before getting the $100 (which was withdrawable) so people were depositing $100 and betting that and laying it off then depositing $500 and betting that and laying it off.
But now (with a RECENT code ) once you deposit $100 they add $100 straight away.
They are also offering 100% books on certain events. I put $200 on one of these matches at 7.3 and laid it off at bf at 7.3 , winning at BF so total profit was $91.31.
They do verify your ID and telephone number though, they will ask for copy of passport etc and will verify your details over the phone on the number you reg'd with.
I wont post the code here as I'm new round here and haven't read all the rules yet and dont know if its aloud.
My dad and brother-in-law-and have dont this offer today too and code worked for them fine.
My overall opinion of partybets is fine, only thing I would say is if you are using them is to send your ID inh as soon as you sign up and there should be no holdups if you need to withdraw etc.

As I wrote, I have been limited because I won around 7000 USD in two months from Partybets, and they cut my stakes to 10% of the original. I sent several mails about my limitation, but nobody answered.

Today I sent a mail from a different mail, I did not write my name, I asked : I heard that you limit the professional players. Is it true?

30 mins later their mail arrived :

Dear Sir/ Madam,


Thank you for contacting our customer service team.


In regard to your query, please be kindly informed that it is absolutely not true that we set limits to professional players.


PartyBets is a part of PartyGaming, and as a respected company we would have never allow ourselves to limit any of our players. At our platform each player, no matter whether a professional or not, has an equal start. We do not in any way discriminate any of our customers.


We do, however, set maximum stakes for our events but these stakes are universal for all our customers. These stakes depend on the odds and the type of sport and they are individually determined for each event.


We hope that this information is comprehensive enough and we shall be looking forward to welcoming you as a new customer of ours and a part of the Party community.


Best regards,


Vanina

PartyBets Customer Service





Vanina, the little liar!
