Party sends moles to Rakerebatereviewforum...

Today I got an Email from my Affiliate...

It seems as party hunts down affiliates who give Rakeback.

Hello,

As an affiliate of Party I am contracted to work toward their goals. They have grown to be the "home" of pro and fish alike, which is why many of you wished to move after the split.

Despite my best efforts, a mole infiltrated our system and I have been reported to Party. I have been told I can "No longer offer Rakeback".

This email is to inform those of you who wish to stay, you will be recieveing "RakePoints" that can be used for their purpose as decribed on the site.

If this is a problem, contact me on AIM at screenname RakePoints and I will work with you to resolve the matter.

Thank you,
Tom

What can you do with these?

I got that same email a while ago.

This is all speculation - but, based on the way the guy talked to me, I think his plan all along was to sign up a number of high volume players using him as an affiliate, then tell them that he is unable to give them rakeback for whatever reason, and hope that some of them stick around so he gets a few thousand a month for nothing.

Whether or not this is true, I closed down my account under him. I don't think any of this means that Party actually is using moles at Rakerebatereview.

this is worrying.

my affiliate owes me over $2k from last month - if i dont see that there will be trouble.

whether or not party is using moles is anyones guess. what certainly DOES happen is affiliates snitching on eachother to sabotage a competitors business. its a dirty game, and unavoidable. some of the beauties of the internet also make running a business through it challenging.

even if an affiliate is caught, they should still be able to pay what is owed from the previous month, correct?

[morgant]

i dont know. there are too many unknown variables. if the affilaite was paid for last month, one would think they will pay their players. but busterstacks proved that wrong just a few weeks ago.

i dont know the circumstances of the affils. trackers getting shutdown. i think it was a partywide shutdown of individual reporting. the parent affiliate will still get compensated for his players, but have no way of knowing who contributed what to the gross value, for these affiliates in question today. again, i am doing a fair amount of assumption with this.
