And what makes you think that??

Party has lost some fish, the ones who played on the skins. Party will retain most of the serious players.

Party loses some fish who stay on skins.
Party loses some serious players who have had enough and go play stars.

Default As Far As Party Rakeback Goes, Let Me See If I Understand This

Right now there are NO available ways to get a rakeback account on Party Poker. However, a few people (ZJ being one of them - http://zeejustin.com) are working on trying to provide rakeback on Party Poker.

However, all this being said, there is apparently a new "rewards" program on Party Poker that could possibly end up working itself out to being just as benefitial as rakeback ever was, thus rendering ZJ (and other)'s efforts rather meaningless.

Do I have it?

yes but what's the catch, do they actually give you 25% rakeback? They claim "25% bonus every month", that could just be some funky deposit-bonus type thing.

party hates the word rakeback, it's just a different name for it.

Why so much bitching? Party's bills over the long run are paid by us. We just start a little boycott and we'll have them coming to our houses to do the yardwork if we want. Who wants to head up this effort?

I'm no expert in this business, but I suspect Party wanted more from the skins than they got. If the skins put more money in advertising and brought in more players, party wouldn't do this. We all need these sites to make a lot of money and spend it recruiting new players.

I'm not against putting pressure on Party by spending our money at another site, or even by collective action, but it's all just business - not good vs. evil, at least as far as I know.

Hi Microbet...remember me?

Since I'm a newbie on this board and at online poker...could you (or someone else) please give a brief synopsis of what is going on here?...please dumb it down as I don't even know what a skin is.

Thanks in advance.
