i second your statements bluff

even when he called me a minion?

Booooo~!

Actually, it's not good for those of us not willing to create a second account against party's T&C's. If affiliates weren't making all this damn money, maybe the internal rewards would be better than 10k hands for a party poker sweatshirt and a chance to be on a cruise!

You are forgetting about the enormous amount of money generated (and kept) by non rakeback affiliates. If people didn't sign up with an affiliate for rakeback, they would click a link and some affiliate would get all of the cash for himself.

Now we're really on to something here! A backlash not just against party but also against those money grubbing affiliates! NH.

P.S. Oh the irony of such reactions in a paid affiliate forum here!

[somapopper]

Well... yeah, I guess I do have my tin foil hat on in that respect. I am not at all against affiliates making good money, and I think most of the affiliates who post here are good people who run legit operations.

The objection was just to non-rb affiliates who don't do anything for the player but happily pocket the full 25% (or whatever) a month.

I'm not sure if you were making fun of me or agreeing with me, but this should suffice either way.

PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT PARTY POKER AND RAKEBACK!

Sorry but no. If people want to talk about party rakeback then they should be allowed to, if putting things out in the open pisses people off then that’s just tough on them.

If you have made a commitment to keep quite about something, that’s fine you should stick to it, but that’s no reason why anyone else should be so restrained.

Also anyone who is considering suicide due to lost Party rakeback, open your eyes and look around, you might find loosing Party’s rakeback is not a problem at all.

I vote for a spree of harsh bannings to set examples.

non-rakeback affiliates create player liquidity... you might as well be complaining that there are too many fish in the pond!

piers-

people who 'talk' about party and rakeback are people who want it. i am letting them know its very counterproductive.

Don't forget we now have the non-rakeback rakeback affiliates.
