Since the thread is locked I'll comment here.

The Points for cash promotion was just for this month. In the coming months, they plan on offering other things like cruise packages, merchandise etc.

I hope this is some kind of joke. If not someone at Party needs to get fired. Talk about totally missing the preferences of their customers.

Party, your high volume players play poker to make money. They don't play poker to get sweatshirts with your logo on it. If they want to go on cruises they certainly don't need you to act as the middle man (it completely screams of Card Player Cruises getting their greedy small hands directly into Partys operations).

At first it looked like Party had some kind of plan of what to do when cutting off the skins but it is becoming clear they are totally clueless as to who their customers are and how to satisfy them.

I hope they all go broke

Their customers are the millions of fish who reload each week. High-volume pros & semi-pros are taking money OUT of the party system. I'm not a party fan or agree with what they are doing, but for sure they are in this business to make money and offering RB is not making party more money. Offering some crapass sweatshirt instead of 2-3K/month in cashback deals seems to make more money for party, no?

Does this mean all the work I did last week to sign up thru an affiliate is for naught? My affiliate just says they are working with PP to get it fixed. This sounds more final

Party plays affiliate fees no matter if they affiliate kicks some back to the player or not.

And the sticky post is about rewarding high volume players, which has a much much lower ratio of fish than the population as a whole.

If they want to give the fish an entry into a tournament to win a Card Player Cruises cruise, they are free to do so. I don't mind. That however does zilch to satisfy the high volume players.

The party is over?

Nicholasp27 · #7 10-17-2005, 03:38 PM

officially, yes

party does not allow public rakeback

they still pay the affiliates the same as always, tho

I'm so confused!

Rakeback doesn't promote a clean image. ROFLMAO!!

If rakeback is dirty, then I don't ever wanna be clean!

Party are so dedicated to keeping the image of online poker clean that they have raised the rake twice.
