After bwin.party revenues fell way short of expectations for the second quarter just as I predicted, its Head of Online Poker will finally be replaced. The new Head is PokerStars executive Jeffrey Haas. He has been with Rational Group/PokerStars for the last five years where he’s held positions including Director of Strategy & Business Development, New Platforms and had a big hand in developing mobile strategies.

Acquiring back rake-paying customers for the #5 site will be a lot harder than losing them, but at least the journey of a thousand miles has just taken the first step in the right direction. "cheers:

Assuming they still have the same software circa 1983, maybe they could also update that sometime soon

As far as I understand, there will be new software in next 30 days tops, major overhaul

Shill! ;)
This so-called "new and improved" software was scheduled to be released by the first quarter. Indicators are that bwin.party will try to make it more appealing to recreational players by having badges (ala FTP) & social media features; nothing mentioned so far that would make rake-paying regs come back.

Unfortunately, bwin used its same subsidiary of Ivy Comptech in India :-\ that is responsible for the current buggy software & constant server disconnections/crashes to somehow create "the next generation" software, so the few Party players in this forum such as T8urmoney, actyper & trigs already know what to expect from TNG.

You are killing my hopes that this new software will be....even......average.....if it ever arrives.

Too bad, Party was the 2nd best place for Cdns to play satty's to live events.

For the 1 or 2 other forumers that were stoopid enough like me to try to play a WPT qualifier, you already know what happened. I phoned Support & before I could tell them the tournament ID, they already knew it because they had received a lot of complaints from other Canadians already. I asked if there would be a tournament scheduled on another day this week as a replacement. They said no. I tried to register for the next tournament - same problem.

They said that they have passed the problem onto the technical department - the same department that is supposed to release "TNG" software by the end of this month.

What exactly was the issue with the wpt sats?

BlondeFish

Believe it or not, "the next generation" software has now been delayed until next year!

The big gaming company bwin.party 's planned renewal of their poker software has once again been postponed. Originally, the be launched in early 2013, since it was postponed to August, and now it is so exposed to "sometime in 2014".

Maybe jontm can get an official confirmation from his sources. It looks like I am now pot committed to playing live for the rest of the year & 2014. I'll be posting in other threads about how to find the best cellphone plan for me, vision correction, snow tires (driving to Montreal, etc.), and more live BAPs.

jontm

I don't have anything official to report, only hoping to see it launch here in Canada sooner or even on track. Will post anything new I hear or that relates. My contact hasn't heard of any delays so far.

T8urmoney

new download today.........is this supposed to be the 'new' software?

jontm

According to Warren Lush RT and Party Twitter, looks like it is. How is it?

T8urmoney

looking at the tables, can't say anything, other than the cards

the lobby has a different color, and a bit different look.........but clearly not a 'new' platform......just modified everything around the tourney lobby, but the lobby itself is the same

T8urmoney

oh, was playing 2 tables to test it out.......as the :55 break, one table started playing, the other was frozen on the last hand played

had to leave the table, open lobby, and click 'take seat' to get back in

I was reading about the update, and a lot of ppl have said that the notes have not been transferred over, I am really hoping this is just a bug they need to work out and not something where we have to start from scratch as I've always been a pretty avid note taker.

BlondeFish

As I was downloading Party "2.0", my better half heard me saying, "I hope it's not just a different interface over the same buggy sh*t. She didn't understand at first then asked, "You mean like putting lipstick on a pig?"

Excuse us, we seem to have technical issue. Please launch the client again.

Welcome undefined!

Service unavailable. Try after some time.
:
OOPS! something went wrong. Please try after some time.

It seems that the words "quality assurance" and "beta testing" do not exist in bwin.party's software subsidiary in India.

The fonts are too small even on my huge 42" screen! It's a good thing I've ordered new progressive eyeglasses.

I opened up a game but my megabytes of player notes don't work, nor the colour coding I've done on thousands of players. It becomes even more laggy when I try to use PokerTracker.

I hate admitting it, but my better half is correct as usual.

Neat.......are there any updates on the whole 'note' issues? Clearly this is a big problem for me as I don't use any hud's whatsoever and only play on party.
