Party had no choice
 

The dye was cast in March, when Partypoker stopped letting affiliates see their individual tracker figures. The result of this was that high-volume players left Party because they could not longer get rakeback. The skins flourished, using Party's best customers.

This was a no-brainer for Party. They will suffer in the short term with lower traffic, but almost all those who left Party will return. They left for rakeback and they will return with rakeback, as it is readily available to anyone that looks. Maybe not as high as they were getting, but fairly close.

I would say that within two months, Party will be close to the figures they were at before. Not only that, but at a much higher profit/player ratio.

Not necessarily.
since many of the 70k players on at any given time came from the skins....and also came from players who were logged onto 2 or 3 sites at the same time.
70k players logged-in NEVER meant 70k seperate individuals.
It just meant 70k accounts.

Do we think it was around 1k or 2k or so that were multiple-account users....or maybe even more than that??

not sure.


I agree though that they pretty much made an obvious decision (and actually made it belatedly).

TUCO knows what the heck is going on from the inside if you dont read his posts on this topic you are missing out on valuable information.

The more I think about what Party has done here the more I like it for Party's stock ..sure short term players totals will be down but if they can build those numbers back up slowly and and just maintain solid growth this will be amazing feat. They have engineered this thing brilliantly and in the meantime they have cleansed the system of bogus accounting gimmicks-which anyone that had a clue knew they had to clean out at some point.

This stock in the short-term is going to move much higher unless they come out with another earnings warnings which had been rumored late last week.

Watch PRTY.L and EOL.L monday morning will be interesting to see the markets reaction!

I always thought they counted the play money tables to juice the numbers, myself.

Probably not if they are half as thick as the rest of these guys (you know . . . the one's whining in every thread tonight) who had their rakeback account at a skin as opposed to . . . .

Good points Bob.

I guess I should have said, within two months Party will be making more money than they ever have. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
