Interview with the PartyPoker $50 promo Support Angel
September 22, 2009PartyPoker $50 Free promo has its own Support manager named Angel. She manually transfers all the money to the participants of our promotion (I pray she wouldn‘t get sick, otherwise I would have to do this hard work myself). She also checks the eligibility of all the participants and makes sure that the cheaters are not tolerated. I've asked her some questions about the inside affairs and everyday issues of her job.
Our support Angel ;)Question: Angel, how does it feel to have access to so much money at the PartyPoker Cashier? You transfer $25 to thousands of people each month...
A.: When I first started dealing with this "bonus business" I knew that I need to be careful, because the PartyPoker team confided me with a huge amount of money, so when I did my first transfer, I found it fun and thought it will be easy, but as I can see now, it requires a lot of responsibility.
Q.: You run the promo in 15 different languages (including Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Russian, Swedish, Greek, Spanish etc.). Do you know all of these languages?
A.: I know only 3 – German, Russian and, of course, English. What about the rest? The PokerNews team is very helpful
Q.: Tell everyone how do you check and decide whether a person is eligible for the promo as they all need to keep to the T&C’s.
A.: When you enter the http://partypoker.pokernews.com/ first you need to read the T&C's, it's the biggest problem, because almost no one is reading it! Download PartyPoker to your computer and make a registration in three steps as required, if everything is done correctly, then there will be no problems to send you the MONEY! Mostly people think that any photo is acceptable, but there are many criteria how the photo must look like. You can also check what kind of pictures we do not accept.
There were also some cases with the phone numbers, players were not sending the SMS messages, but entering the numbers themselves and vice versa. When I first open a player's account I check if there are any duplicates, then I go on and check the picture and the phone number. I only transfer the money to those players who have correctly completed the registration.
Q.: What are the main ways in which people cheat in this promo?
A.: The most common is opening a new PartyPoker account for every family member. Multi-accounting is the main problem. People do not understand that even if they get money from us, PartyPoker will suspend them and all their accounts will be closed.
Q. Do people send some funny photos instead of their face and ID as required? Have you received any inappropriate pictures?
A.: What do you mean by saying ‘inappropriate’? Pictures containing adult content?
Yes, there were some pictures with people "in action", but I've rejected them. They also send some nature pictures and the photos of the poker pros. A quality of the picture must be good, because we are checking not just the face, but also the ID details.
Q.: What are the main misunderstandings among the participants of the PartyPoker $50 Free Promo?
A.: People do not read the Terms and Conditions causing us the following problems:
they do not understand what kind of photo is OK even though there is an example provided
they think that the total of $50 must be transferred
they require money immediately after the registration form is filled
Thanks for your time, Angel, I know you are busy with transferring the money as a few have just registered during the time of the interview.
If you still did not participate in this promo, please do! Also please tell about it to all your friends and especially those who still do not play poker for real $$$.
P.S. You probably understood that I have changed her real name, so don't try to guess who is she

How to add Poker News Facebook application
June 15, 2009Pokernews has just launched a new application in Facebook called "Poker News from PokerNews". You can add it to your profile or your Facebook Page. Here are some small guidelines on how to do it.
Step 1. Opening the application
Please go to http://apps.new.facebook.com/poker-news/ where you will find the entire Poker News application. In the right column you can select the categories you would like to see filtered. If you do not select anything, the application will show all the news stories.
Step 2. Adding it to your profile
If you want to add this application to your profile, please click "Add to profile" button at the right-bottom box called Pokernews.com Tools. A splash screen with your application preview will appear. You may then select where you want to place it – on your Wall and info Tabs or in the Box tab. Let's try Wall and Info Tabs first.
Once you have clicked the "Add" button at the bottom you are then redirected to your profile. Facebook suggests keeping it just below your friends' box. Please click the "Keep" button. Facebook adds this application to your profile, but you may drag and drop it yourself anywhere you want.
Step 3. Moving it to the Boxes tab
Boxes tab is less visible than the profile information to your friends; therefore I would recommend keeping this application in your profile. You could have moved the application to the Boxes tab by following Step 2, just using the Boxes tab instead of Wall. There is a little pencil icon next to the name of the application. If you click it, you will see 2 options: Move to Boxes tab or (I shouldn't have mentioned the second option) Remove Box. Please click 'Move to Boxes' tab.
Here you go! You are redirected to the Boxes page and you can see the application just at the top.
Of course, you can move it to any position you want simply by dragging it and dropping. Please remember that the Right column in the Boxes is narrow, therefore the looks of the application will change. If you want to return it to the Wall tab, just click on the pencil (edit) icon.
Step 4. Adding it to your page
If you are the administrator of any Facebook page, you can easily add the Poker News application to it. Just go to the start page of the application and instead of "add to Profile" click the small link below – "Add to Page"
Select the page you want to add it to and then approve the access to this page by clicking "Add Pokernews" button.
Then go to the Edit page and make sure the settings have the wall and Tab enabled.
Then go to the page and click "+" at the end of your tabs to add Pokernews as a new tab.
You can change the order of tabs by drag&dropping the Tabs.
Done! Congratulations! You now have all the latest and best quality poker news from PokerNews.com. You can always check on how it looks at Pokernews Facebook Page (please become a PokerNews Fan as you have already took a visit

Pay some attention to new Online Poker section. There you will find some new sections such as Latest Gossip and Rumors, Online Poker Blogs, Head to Head Interviews, Hands of the Day and of course Room reviews. Also new section about Texas Holdem has been launched. It is for beginning poker players in order to get them acquainted with wonderful game of poker
.What has been done? The column was moved to the left. Now you can see the submenu in the left column as well as top reviews and some special promos. Right column remained for tournament calendar and room reviews. The textual field now is in the middle. i am sure the reviews design will change soon, but shhhh... this is a secret.
I would like to ask you to examine the new design and some pages and tell me your opinion in a simple way - using Poll. If you use Twitter, please RT it.
Thanks a lot. Your opinion is very valuable to us.
UPDATE. Here is poll results after couple of days after the poll was started.

That's normal as it takes time to get used to changes. More than quarter thinks we could have done better. Sure, we can never reach the perfectness I am leaving this poll open in case you haven't voted yet and want to vote now. -
PokerNews on Facebook
February 12, 2009It's been some time since my last post about Pokernews features. Something has changed now. I will continue introducing the features, only not inside, but outside Pokernews. Now I work as social networking manager, therefore my main focus is on most popular social networks. Let's start from Facebook.
Facebook now is booming. It is translated to 36 languages, therefore there are no more language issues (as some features are really complicated, so difficult to understand for not native English speakers). There are lots of activities for poker players in Facebook. The main one is playing the Zynga poker application Texas Holdem Poker. It is really intersting to see who has got the bigger rankings among your friends...
Facebook has got a very nice feature - being Fan of some pages. So you can be a Fan of Pokernews FaceBook Page and get some updates without visiting Pokernews every day. Now there are no many fans, but once we reach some more, i will organize some added value tournament. We had some in the past and people loved it.
Also we have a couple of Facebook groups with more people
Main Pokernews Group
UK PokerNews Group
IT PokerNews Group for our Italian readers (you all should know that Italian government made poker as not quite legal activity and ISPs ban the rooms' websites)Some time ago we even created PokerNews application, but i will not tell about it as it needs some rework
If you are on Facebook or would like to go there and looking for some activity, please always remember that PokerNews is there. Or myself. I am always glad to make new friends. Check my personal Facebook Profile or search me using my real name - Marius Kuitniauskas.
