Promo. They have a mission that if you play 30K fast fold hand you get $150. 60K another $150, 100K another $300 and if you can hit 250K hands you get another $900, so you can get $1500 in bonuses just purely for number of hands, nothing to do with rake. You have until Aug 14th to complete. The lowest stake that qualifies for promo is 10nl. So it is the easiest and stand to lose the least I suppose, so prob a bunch of new people and I would imagine even some of the 25nl and 50nl grinders may have dropped down just to pump the volume out to hit the bonus.
You can see all of the info for the Summer of Grind promo here. You need to opt in under missions in the lobby to enter.
Is your Party account tracked to us? If not I would suggest you sign up to Bwin with us to get extra returns from our rake race with this promo + a new first deposit bonus. All the same promos etc on there, so its worth the swap
Yeah my partypoker account should be tracked by yous. Signed up a few months ago with a RB deal and deposit bonus. Thats me opt in now after i have just wasted 500 hands lol.
Ah unlucky that you had not opted in. But great that you are tracked to us for the race! I am playing this promo also, what stakes will you be playing at? We actually have a thread dedicated to it here, a load of us are grinding it out, feel free to let us know how you get on or make a thread.
Will be playing mostly 10nl maybe 25nl its what suits my bankroll best at the moment. Cool thanks ill check out the thread and see how everyone is getting on. This is my first day so will need to do some catching up lol
