Hi, thanks for the response. I am talking about the future though, not the past.

The way I see it there are two option for high volume players in regards to RB at Party:

Option #1 is to sign up with one of the many publicly advertised rakeback websites. You get a good % and a respected affiliate. But if Party does decide to heed the demands of the non-RB affils and shut down the individual trackers again, these websites will be the first to go.

Option #2 is to sign up through a large non rakeback affil who gives rakeback to a small % of his customers. You might get slightly lower rate (1-2% lower or maybe even equal) but you have more security as these are the rocks that Party depends on and you wake up every day knowing your RB will still be there.

It is all about risk vs reward and how confident you are that Party will not pull the plug on RB anytime soon. I am a more risk averse type when it comes to things like this, but thats just me. I feel its an interesting debate though.

If Party decides to turn off the individual stats for everyone (like they did before) then the non-rake back affiliates will have the same problem.
