The latest word from Party
Since the thread is locked I'll comment here.
[ QUOTE ] The Points for cash promotion was just for this month. In the coming months, they plan on offering other things like cruise packages, merchandise etc. [/ QUOTE ] I hope this is some kind of joke. If not someone at Party needs to get fired. Talk about totally missing the preferences of their customers. Party, your high volume players play poker to make money. They don't play poker to get sweatshirts with your logo on it. If they want to go on cruises they certainly don't need you to act as the middle man (it completely screams of Card Player Cruises getting their greedy small hands directly into Partys operations). At first it looked like Party had some kind of plan of what to do when cutting off the skins but it is becoming clear they are totally clueless as to who their customers are and how to satisfy them. |

Re: The latest word from Party
Their customers are the millions of fish who reload each week. High-volume pros & semi-pros are taking money OUT of the party system. I'm not a party fan or agree with what they are doing, but for sure they are in this business to make money and offering RB is not making party more money. Offering some crapass sweatshirt instead of 2-3K/month in cashback deals seems to make more money for party, no?

Re: The latest word from Party
Party plays affiliate fees no matter if they affiliate kicks some back to the player or not.
And the sticky post is about rewarding high volume players, which has a much much lower ratio of fish than the population as a whole. If they want to give the fish an entry into a tournament to win a Card Player Cruises cruise, they are free to do so. I don't mind. That however does zilch to satisfy the high volume players. |

Re: The latest word from Party
I thought about this from day one:
So, the affiliates get the "high volume" players to dump their old accounts and create new ones using their linkes. Everyone of those fuckers claimed to have "worked with Party" blah blah blah. Kick, pow, surprise! They aren't going to be able to track individuals after all! But they're still going to get paid, just we aren't! Wow. What smells?

Ive have heard one way around the tracking problem
a small affiliate told a friend that she may have to have players send her their hand histories from PokerTracker.

Re: The latest word from Party
I don't buy that. If there are individual trackers the affiliates won't be able to keep that a secret from the players. Too many people would know.
Besides, most of them have a track record of being honest. |

I've always trusted my affi as well, and they've been on the money. But it's just weird. To have everything in place (more than a few affis said the same thing) and then for it to come out like this is screwy. Let the affis advertise, hell let them get new accounts. They can draw the big dogs back and when they get here, we'll pull the rug out from under them. That's more likely. Somebody knew what was going on. But either way, the affiliates get paid and we don't. |

i would think it is true
if everyone played equally bad (or good for that matter) ALL of the money would eventually get to PP. This way we take a protion of it and put it in our own pockets
