Maybe in the year 2350, when 12k is the standard equivalent of a 2005 $200 bonus.

Well. It's on the Affiliate Manager's tray.

what's on the 'affiilate manager tray' for those of us nonaffiliates who don't know what that means.

So you've just announced to Party that there are a bunch of people desparate for bonuses at any price. They'll just take away what little they give us now.

baulucky, i for one am glad you are trying to do something that would benefit us. I hope this works, and i hope its not too expensive. I would hate to have to take out a loan to take advantage of this. You should also consider fronting these to people you know for a percentage of the bonus on top of the original fee. More money for you....

peace

Thanks man. I hope it flies. I'd be a user of it too. Too early to see all the variations , but the way I put it to them was very appetizing. I hope they bite the bait, hook and sinker.

Thanks for doing this, but I don't think you should use that kind of attitude here. They read these boards, too.

You don't get it?. I put it as a very good deal for THEM.

No, I don't get why you would use language to suggest that you're tricking them into something, whether or not it's actually a good deal for them.

Dec '05 bonus leap calls, no bid offered at a teenie - any takers?

It means he's begging his affiliate manager to let him do it.

I don't think it's very far fetched at all. Party has probably noticed that alot, if not the vast majority, of those who play 8 hours a day, 7 days a week play on one of the skins. Even if they have to take a $12k cut on the rake they still want the other $30k this guy would pay while clearing this bonus if he played Party and not Empire.

I doubt I am alone in the following: I signed up for Party while not knowing what rakeback is. After figuring out that this was a Good Thing (tm) to have I switched to a skin. Now I literally only play on Party when clearing a bonus.

I'd guess that most of those who pay $5,000/month or more in rake don't play on Party but on one of the skins. These are the players that Party would want to 'buy back'.

Paying full time players a five figure number to play on Party for 2-3 months probably isn't the smartest idea. It doesn't guarantee any kind of permanent playing. It is just an extended bonus.

Besides, it will not be looked upon with kind eyes by Empire etc.

What I dont understand about all this is that party could just offer an option "play 1k hands per month or more and get 25% rakeback if you dont have an affiliate". That would benefit them a lot more than paying 50+% on a "continual" bonus. Party is not nearly dumb enough to offer something like this. Good idea to the guy who thought of it, but sorry, you won't become a millionaire overnight because party is not this dumb.

I'm sure others fall into my category. I've been on Party so darn long I can't remember where I clicked to join. How do we know if we're signed up under an affilate or not? Maybe it doesn't matter. Dunno. Hijacking released.

Do you think Party look kindly on Empire knowingly turning a blind eye to violations of their affiliate policy so that more high volume players stay at Empire?

You still pay way more in rake than the bought bonus, so Party makes dough on it.

The results of this poll shock me. How could any one not have absolute faith in "My Big Swinging Dick" Baulucky?

And how many accounts does Party suspend for this? It's not like Party already isn't doing anything Empire is.
