How much rake do you have to pay to earn 9,235 Party Points?

It's just over 46,000 raked hands [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Someone else figured it out to be about 12% of your rake.

Default Player\'s Association

I agree with AAAA. There is strength in numbers. Individually, we have no pull with Party, Empire, or any other site. Put together a Player's Association of serious high volume players. Collectively, we would then have the economic clout to dictate which poker site gets all of our business. I guarantee you that everyone in the Association would get more rakeback then we are currently getting through Empire.

This is a great idea, but I believe this offer is being made right now. Millions of MGR is being offered to Party. X-Party skin affiliates with HUGE accounts are trying to get their players over there. Right now Party's stance is - No, we don't think it's worth it. Other casinos may be more receptive to this idea.

I really don't think than a decent rakeback offer will come from Party. The only reasons that I can think of for why they want to keep high-volume players is for marketing reasons and to keep the highest-level games going. The micro-limit and small stakes players probably only soak money from Party.

Where does the MGR from a shark come from? From the fish. If it weren't for the sharks, the fish would either keep playing til the rake ate away their winnings, or they would withdraw a bit. I expect that the rake eats more than their withdrawals. Hence, sharks just diminish the amount of money that Party takes from the fish. Party doesn't need us. They have a critical mass of players.

Party needs us just like they need everyone else. I provided a brief synopsis on the issue in another thread. Here is the link .

If I play on Party tonight (haven't played there since June):

Will this activity affect anything that might happen regarding reakeback?

I have logged in to PP in the past few days.

Or what?

Yeah, your old affiliate will be keeping all of it. I'm sure he'll be very happy.
