Default Re: Does Party Blackjack Affect MGR

[ QUOTE ]
First, there shouldn't be any rakeback at Party.

Second, how the hell would playing BJ in the casino have anything to do with poker rakeback?

Who said anything about rakeback?

The subject is rake payments to affiliates. Party BJ is a new income stream for poker affiliates. It also introduces the variance monster into a new environment. The affiliate is effectively taking about 1/4 of the house action: +EV but gambling nevertheless. A high roller who gets hot might seriously hurt a small affiliate who was unlucky enough to have signed him up.

Maybe those who know more about BJ can comment on how serious a threat this is?
