Default Re: There\'s been talk on these boards of Party implementing some sort of

Why would Party offer an internal system sort of like rakeback when they don't want it in the 1st place.

They want to offer player rewards to stay competitive/maintain their edge over other sites. Party is aware that without rakeback, many high volume players would play at Stars instead. The reasons for this are obvious.

The do not want traditional rakeback because affiliates undercut each other. As a result, players are canceling/reopening accounts and switching back and forth between affiliates. This is problematic for both rakeback and non-rakeback affiliates, which in turn is a problem for Party.

By offering a direct rewards system, they prevent the undercutting and player swapping from happening.
