Never say Never, Party Rakeback update

Here is the most recent email I have gotten from one of the largest Party affiliates. The exact email:

"This time I have definite and good news for everyone. I just got off the phone with my contact who is deeply affiliated with Party, and has been working with them from day one. This is the first time I got hold of him, the man has slept 4 hours since the bomb hit on last Saturday. I got
briefed on the recent Party situation, and what has really been happening earlier and right now.

Within the next day or two, "bleeped out" will have an affiliate account set up and will be able to offer a player reward program to PartyPoker.com.

Players can be signed up swiftly and easily, with new accounts. Players who have an inactive Party account are easier to move. If you have a Party account that has lots of play recently, you will still be able to get an account.

Please rest easy, and wait for further information on the player reward program. The ball is moving now."

Thanks.

This guy gives up easily.

I just got the email about 30 minutes ago. This was after 2 emails I got previously in the day stating that they were no longer going to be able to offer rakeback. I trust my source. There is no reason to jerk all the players around back and forth for no reason. He is a major affiliate and am suprised more players have not received the same email. I would imagine many players also use the same affiliate.

Will someone just go blow up Party's servers so they will stop [censored] with us?

I just checked my affiliate page and there is a message saying this....

Myself and a couple other affiliates were able to setup a special deal with Party. We are being allowed to offer deals at Party at this time whereas some other affiliates may not be able to since these affiliates went through different contacts. I've spoken to my contact at Party 3 or 4 times today and he has mentioned that Party is aware of the special arrangement myself and a couple other affiliates have......

I have been contacted by two affiliates, both trusted, both big, both advertise on 2 + 2, and they have both told me they can set me up right now with rake back on Party. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like so much?

It's not so much Party that's screwing with everyone, it's the rumormongers and morans that feel they need to forward every post from their affiliates and ring the town bell every 5 minutes. It's most likely hurt more than it's helped at this point.

I got this same thing, was wondering if anyone else has my affiliate and set up a rakeback account with them at Party? To even broaden this question, does anybody have a RB account with Party at this moment?

Hi,

I'd like to add...
>If you have a Party account that has lots of play recently, you will still be able to get an account.

The information I have heard, whether accurate or not, is that if it is apparent an account has been inactive due to a player leaving for rakeback, or semi-inactive where a player just comes in for the reloads, then a new account under the affiliate that has contact with the player and is responsible for his return to Party should be possible, but if an account shows no decrease in activity, setting up another will not be an option. The reason is obvious - it is in no ones best interest to steal an active account from another affiliate, or from Party to be under an affiliate who really didn't put any effort into doing anything beneficial. You wouldn't want it done to you, so it shouldn't be done.

I think it is time that affiliates look beyond the dollar to the future and realize that their long term success is in developing strong bonds with their players, their affiliates, and even Party.

The skins got their plugs pulled because they looked for shortcuts. Party worked hard and smart to get a solid player base - good marketing, plenty of money spent. For their "partners" to try to take Partys players and not put the effort in to market and develop their own base was wrong and they payed the price. The affiliates are in the same position. We all need to spend time and money developing our player base, otherwise Party will be pulling our plugs.

A good affiliation works both ways. If Party sees we have their interest in mind, they will reciprocate. We should all be trying to get our players back to Party - playing poker - because that is what it is all about. We can then figure out how to make up for any rewards they might debit us for. It is then we can figure out how to market for new business.

Running around trying to steal each others players by offering an extra point, a free chipset, or whatever else is just dumb. People want to play poker and will play with or without an affiliate! We need to level the playing field as much as possible and concentrate our efforts on creative marketing outside of the narrow confines of this or any other forum.

Just my opinion - I could be way off base here. Whatta I know

I got a mail saying i can get 20% RB, i just gotta make a new account.... which is bit crappy.

How easy is it to make new netelleraccount? ID/Etc?

[HesseJam]

I like Tohuwabohu = big mess/ chaos

I spoke to Neteller last night via their Live Chat and they suggested to me to make a new account (but to use a different email address) because I wanted to change my base currency.

So it would appear they don't mind at all. You'd have to contact their customer service via phone to get your current balance and info switched over though.
