Re: I just talked to my Party contact
Well, how many of you have already signed up for some kind of deal? Why would Party offer anything better if you cannot listen to InThaCup and wait for a little while? There are all sorts of sites out there to play. If you have put all your eggs in one basket, and now you lost your basket, you can cry or you can look for a new basket. You can promise yourself you won't get caught like this again, or you can just run and take whatever is offered, and assure the sites that they don't have to consider players as any kind of effective force in the market. O'Doyle and InThaCup have both suggested some kind of unified action to show some solidarity and strength. I agree that patience is a virtue that poker players need. If you don't have it, quit poker! no one you can reach easily at Party Gaming is ever going to tell you they will allow rake back programs. It is their leash that keeps affiliates in line. However, woe to any affiliate who thinks they can stop working for "the man!" and pity any player who gets comfortable with any deals that they might get temporarily! I keep seeing pictures in my mind of affiliates running faster and faster on those hamster treadmills trying to keep up with ever growing demands for new revenue to keep them from reducing payments for existing players. Then I see players having gradually increasing quotas to keep getting what they thought they had already earned in rake rebate programs. Once the juggernaut has all the aces, what will you have to do to keep what you thought you had already earned? Remember PokerNow? Affiliates were given the opportunity to take a tiny lump sum amount in exchange for future revenue or else? If poker players aren't patient enough to show any kind of solidarity or patience like avoiding a site for a week or two, maybe we deserve to be on a leash.

Re: I just talked to my Party contact
He did not refer to his site in any way. The Moderators of this forum just dont want anyone else to be heard.

I don't want to repeat the content since it seems likely it will cause a conflict in this forum.

Re: I just talked to my Party contact
this is a very shady forum. Very dirty and underhanded form of advertising. I don't like it at all.

Re: I just talked to my Party contact
I am seeing very definitive language on this situation from my affiliate who I have a Absolute and UB deal with.
He is saying on his site he will be set up tonight or tommorrow. He also says there will be a soloution for existing players. I have also heard other things just about the exact opposite of what you guys have been saying. The whole deal makes me want to just go play other sites. Except that would be too simple. Anyway the ones who are really looking bad in this wholoe thing are the affiliates,a lot of tail chasing seems to be going on.
