Future of RakeBack at Party Skins

[LuvDemNutz]

I just got this email from my PokerNow affiliate. Can anyone substantiate the part about affiliates not being able to track INDIVIDUAL rake stats.

"We regret to inform you that the PokerNOW rake back
plan is officially over.

PokerNOW has become a fully fledged part of Party
Poker and all current PokerNOW Affiliate Agreements
have been terminated. Luckily, PokerNOW did keep
their word and has paid us for February so you will
receive that money by this Friday (4/29/05).
Unfortunately, this also means that there will be no
future payments towards your PokerNOW rake back plan.

Party/IGM has also taken the next step towards their
goal of completely eliminating rake back at all the
skins. Party recently started withholding affiliate
stats on individual trackers. This means there is no
possible way for a Party affiliate to tell how much
rake each individual player has generated.

We currently have affiliate agreements with Eurobet
and Empire Poker, but truly believe that Party/IGM
will definitely be putting a stop to rake back at all
the skins very soon. For this reason we are hesitant
to sign-up alot of our PokerNOW players at Eurobet and
Empire, just to have the same situation happen.

That being said, please let us know if you still want
to sign-up for Eurobet and/or Empire to keep receiving
Party/IGM skin rake back for however long it does
last. We will consider your request on an individual
basis and accept a limited number of new sign-ups....."
