Party Poker Disconnection Policy Rating: 7,5/10 9970 reviews

Unless otherwise stated by us, the following Terms and Conditions set forth the rules and procedures that govern all players' rights in the event of disconnection and game cancellation.
Disconnect protection is a tool that protects players if their internet connection is lost while they are involved in a pot. If a player is disconnected, he/she will be able to stay in the hand (provided disconnect protection is available) to contest the portion of the pot that he/she was financially involved in at the time of disconnection.
We strive to offer the best disconnect protection to our players. Our goal is to protect players while also maintaining appropriate checks so that the protection offered is not abused.
Disconnect protection is not intended to be used other than in the event of a genuine disconnection. Any misuse of this policy may result in the forfeiture of any monies won, tournament disqualification, the loss of the disconnect protection privilege, or expulsion from the site.
Our software is designed to assess if a player has a genuine disconnection before giving the disconnect protection to him/her. Players trying to take advantage of disconnect protection by deliberately getting 'timed out' will be deemed to have folded.
Players must accept the risk of disconnection, and should simply log back in and continue playing as quickly as possible if they are cut off. Ask your ISP about how they can help reduce the risk of disconnection. We are not responsible for disconnected players.
If a player is disconnected during a hand and has disconnect protection available, he/she will be able to play for the part of the pot he/she has invested money in. The player can win whatever was in the pot at the time of the disconnection.
In respect of services provided under our Swedish licence, any game that is interrupted as a result of a disconnection shall be automatically terminated if not otherwise ended 90 days after the disconnection first occurred.
We reserve the right to alter this policy and render final decisions on all matters herein at Our sole discretion. Policy changes and relevant decisions will be communicated accordingly by us using electronic and/or written means.

Lifeline

The normal disconnection protection feature is not available on certain types of tables (all tournaments and some specifically marked ring-game tables). These tables will have 'No DP' next to their names in the Lobby. On these tables, when a player who is invested in the current pot is deemed to be disconnected, the system will award additional time for them to return and rejoin the game.

The amount of time awarded will depend on the current pot size:

For stud games ‘X’ is lower stake.
For flop games, ‘X’ is big blind.

Multi-table tournaments challenge your poker skills and give you the chance to win big prizes for a small outlay. Every multi-table tournament on partypoker has a buy-in as well as an entry fee. The buy-in is added to the prize pool, while the entry fee is kept by partypoker. You must play the Games pursuant to the poker rules set out in the Game Rules section, and the procedures specifically set out in, Games Section, Tournaments, Promotions, and the Disconnection and All-in Policy, and any other page on PartyPoker.net that specifically relates to and governs any particular event, game or tournament.

For non heads-up tables:

No time added if pot size is up to 5xX
20 seconds if the pot is more than 5xX and up to 20xX
30 seconds if the pot is more than 20xX and up to 40xX
45 seconds if the pot is more than 40xX and up to 80xX
60 seconds if the pot is more than 80xX

For heads-up tables:

20 seconds if the pot is more than 0 and up to 5xX
30 seconds if the pot is more than 5xX and up to 10xX
45 seconds if the pot is more than 10xX

The system will wait for additional time only if the current player who is deemed to be disconnected a) has invested in the pot and b) his/has current options do not contain 'Check' option. We call this feature a 'lifeline'.

Lifelines are simply the extra time players will be given to choose what to do if they are disconnected when it is their turn to act. We strongly discourage abuse of this feature by penalising players deemed to be using it intentionally with the risk of losing both chips and money.

The player will be given 60 seconds to reconnect, including the lifeline. If he/she reconnects on the 56th second, he/she will then have at least 20 seconds to act: this is the extra 'bet time-out' period.

Here’s a brief break-down of tables and tournaments which feature lifelines or the normal disconnect protection:

Any table (normal, STT, MTCT) can have either lifelines or DP; no table can have both features.
All tournament tables are lifeline tables.
Live-game tables can be either DP or lifeline tables.
There is no lifeline tag added to STTs and MTCTs listed in the Lobby.
'No DP' will be added to the Lobby listings for live games if they are lifeline tables.

An unlimited number of lifelines are available to the players, as long as the conditions given above are met.

We will send the player a chat message when the software decides to award additional time as a result of a disconnection.

If a player who is deemed to be disconnected has the option to check, the software will automatically carry out this action without awarding any additional time.

Sit & Go single-table tournament disconnect protection

We have removed disconnect protects from all Sit & Go single-table tournaments. Your hand will automatically be folded if you lose your connection. This change was implemented at the request of Our players.

Sit & Go multi-table tournament disconnect protection

Disconnect protection is not available in any Sit & Go multi-table tournaments. Your hand will automatically be folded if you lose your connection.

Multi-table tournament game disconnect protection

Disconnect protection is not available in any multi-table tournaments. Your hand will automatically be folded if you lose your connection. This change was implemented at the request of Our players.

Game cancellation policy

Real-money games

Players will be refunded the exact amount of money they had at the time of cancellation.

Play-money games

Players will be refunded the exact amount of chips they originally brought to the table, as We do not record play money hand information.

All real-money tournaments (Sit & Go and Scheduled)

Please see the tournament rulesfor the cancellation policy for Single Table Sit & Go, Multi-Table Sit & Go and Multi Table tournaments.

Blackjack

If you are disconnected in the middle of a game of Blackjack, simply log back in to your account. You will be able to resume the disrupted game at the point at which you were disconnected. If you were disconnected after submitting information, the next sequence or result will appear as normal.

Please contact our Customer Support team if you continue to experience problems. We will investigate the situation fully. We will refund any losses caused by a bug in our system immediately.

Deal-making

The deal-making process will continue as normal even if you are disconnected while discussing a deal with another player, giving rise to the following scenarios:

You reconnect while the deal is still taking place and rejoin the process.
You do not reconnect before the deal is rejected because the deal making time has elapsed.
Other players have rejected the deal while you were disconnected and play has resumed.
Disconnection is treated as an implicit rejection of a deal: If a deal must be approved by all the players at the table, it will fail unless you reconnect and confirm it in the allotted time.

All use of the Platforms is governed by the Terms and Conditions of use.
