Default Re: Party Press Release-More Consolidation Ahead

[ QUOTE ]
surely party are not going to allow any poker site which becomes a skin of theirs to have rakeback, otherwise they would incur the same problem that they faced when empire and the rest were a part of the skin network? ,with everyone leaving to avail of rakeback. does this make any sense?

Nope. There will never be anothe skin of PP. Rakeback is different.

Party (and the skins) pay its affiliates upwards of 35% rake. Whether or not the affliate pockets the entire nut or gives it all back to the players is irrelevant.

Party's skins recieved about 90% (hypothetically) of the rake from its players. When players left Party for the skins, it cost Party a lot of money

The 30% middle man fee (affiliate) isnt likely to change in the near future. So what has happened with Intertops, is that they have been demoted from "skin" and pocketing 90% of the rake generated from its players to "affiliate" taking home about 30% of the rake its players generate.
