You guys are panicking about nothing.

The writing is very clear; and the change is significant. The evidence that people are not yet seeing a change in count does not mean Party is not changing the rules,

The writing is NOT clear.


"A player is considered to have played a raked hand if he or she has contributed 1 cent or more in rake in that hand."



In this case 'contributing' 1-cent in rake for that hand just means that you were involved in the hand and were responsible for 1-cent or more in rake.

It doesn't mean that you actually had to bet money into the pot on that specific hand. It means that you got credit for 1-cent 'contributed' (which another poster observed should actually be wored as 'attributed' when we discussed this very same thing in a different thread 2 days ago).


When you play 1,000 hands or something and it has X amount of rake over that stretch...then your affiliate is getting back 20% (or whatever) of "your contributed rake".
This is jhust how Party words it.


NEVER have they said that YOU actually have to bet money on that specific hand.
They just use the word 'contributed' to mean "a hand where you are receiving credit for the some of the rake."

Something like that anyway.
I'm not good at explaining some of these things so anyone with a better way of explaining it to all the panickers can feel free to chime-in.



You guys feel free to scan over the party-poker T&C's and read over whatever else you like and find something else to panic over.
"hey...I read that Partypoker cash-games are 'for entertainment purposes only'!!! OMG!! They're going to ban me if I play too much!!"
"hey....party said that THEY have the final-judgement on all decisions. So this means they can just decide to just change all their rules and take all my money whenever they want. They just said so in their rules!!!"
