Re: Party will never give RB

This makes no sense. Whether the player has a rakeback deal or not, party shouldn't care. It's not like they make anymore money on a player who doesn't have rakeback than a player who does. The only person who would make more money is the affiliate. Instead of giving rakeback, he would just keep it all. And the only players who dont have an affiliate are the people who DL direct from the party website. The people who do that have no clue what rakeback is anyway. And once they learn, it wont matter because there is no longer any skin for them to jump ship and start playing at, so party still gets all their play.

Lol. Keep dreaming. Party is a POPULAR site (and I'm drunk). They have over 100K players signed. If they allow RB it won't stay secret. It just won't. When someone gives free money it never stays secret for long. So:
1) 100K players will try one way or another to get RB from Party. By legitimate and most of the times illegitimate ways (is this what you call gnome accts?). Can you imagine the frustration of this? And the result for Party. The existing customer that cost them 0$ will now cost them 25-30%.
2) New players who are the only hope for Party to stay alive (they are like blood for a vampire). They will be asking for free money to sign up. So Party will have to either let affiliates make huge money on their expense (since everyone will be signing through affts to get RB) or Party will directly offer RB to new players, which MEANS: they will lose 25-30% of revenues AND most important they will lose a valuable marketing weapon, i.e. the AFFILLIATES.
3) if you give someone free money then they will of course come back for more. So from 0% you go to 25% overnight. And then? From 25 to 26. And from 26 to 27. And so on. And your competitors (see no RB PokerStars) will make 25% more. Perfect
Of course there is one way for Party to give RB. Give RB today and increase rake tomorrow!
