I'm always checking out the promotions on numerous poker sites in search of value, most of the offers are basically gimmicks that don't really help us punters, they merely encourage us to reload our bankrolls or even worse actually present a poorer value, than normal, investment.
Now this offer does'nt help much if you play at the low and medium stakes, but if there are any OLBG members who prefer to play at high stakes, Party Poker are slashing their fees for high stakes SNG's to a uniform $10; they are doing this for all SNG's over $200.
You might pay anywhere between $30 and $50 fee to the house for entering a $500 SNG which represents 6% and 10% commissions respectively. Now it's only $10 to join a $500 SNG which represents 2% commission.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it actually is if you plan on playing at this level; if you play 500 SNG's a year it will literally save you $10,000 based on a $20 saving per game. If you're a breakeven player at the high stakes after playing 500 SNG's, just by choosing Party Poker, you're now making 10k per year purely because you're paying less rake.
I only wish there was a trusted poker site that was willing start a price war for SNG business at the low and medium stakes too. If I find one, I'll update this thread and change the title accordingly.
Details of this offer can be found here:

If you don't have a Party account yet, don't forget to give something back to OLBG by signing up via an OLBG link...like the one below:
