Re: Prima affiliates

they calculate their rake differently than party.

Yes, but so what?
Imagine a 10-player table where each player has an affiliate who gets 25% of MGR. Suppose the blinds play a heads-up pot that is raked $1.00.
Party says each player contributed $0.10. Ten affiliates each get 2.5 cents for a total cost of $0.25.
Prima says two players contributed $0.50 each. Two affiliates get 12.5 cents each for a total cost of $0.25.
In each case the affiliates are getting 25% of that dollar. The difference in the MGR calculation is real but it doesn't address how much Prima sites can afford to pay their affiliates.
Notice that Prima sites that bring in loose players will make more money per hand than sites that cater to tight players. That's probably healthy for Prima. A provision like that on Party might have made the skin wars a little less severe by focusing more attention on acquiring fish instead of stealing each other's pros.
