Yes, it is true we charge / deduct $5 (administrative fee) first if a players party account is inactive for 180 day’s, find the details in the T&C below…
11. INACTIVE ACCOUNT FEES AND ABANDONMENT OF ACCOUNTS
11.1 If you do not access your Account by ‘logging on’ to your Account using your Account name and password and either (i) place a cash wager or bet via the Services, or (ii) enter a tournament with a cash entry fee via the Gaming Services, or (iii) play a raked hand via the Gaming Services, as applicable, for any consecutive period of 180 days, then after those 180 days (the ‘Grace Period’) your Account (and any related account with any ESP) will be deemed ‘Inactive’.
11.2. Once your Account has been deemed Inactive the Company is entitled to charge you an administrative fee (the ‘Inactive Account Fee’). The Company will deduct an amount up to the Inactive Account Fee amount from your Account Balance on the day following the end of the Grace Period and then every thirty (30) days thereafter in accordance with the Inactive Account Fee Schedule [NOTE: Partypoker only.].
We will stop deducting the Inactive Account Fee from your Account Balance if your Account is re-activated by entering a tournament, or making a cash bet or wager, or by playing a raked hand.
