    This has been party's policy for awhile (at least since 2004, but maybe since the beginning of Party Gaming).

    True.

    But if u dont want to get charged anything, make sure u dont have any money on party. That will care of it.

    pretty standard. much like a gift card, after a certain period of time they begin deducting a small amount off the balance every month. they do this to ensure that if someone never logs in again they will have some claim to the money and it won't just sit there forever. just play one raked hand imo
