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.

I haven't received word from Party on this yet, but it looks like the decision won't be made until tomorrow. For that reason, I'm taking the sticky off this thread. Another sticky will be made when further details become available.

If your affiliate is using the alternative that is openly endorsed by Party(which is what it sounds like), then I don't think you should be alarmed.

What is this?

yes. Soon after I made that post, Party released their statement. This is the official decision that Party released:

PartyPoker.com does not permit affiliates to promote rakeback (or any other discount schemes) to players. There are rumours that we are offering / endorsing rake back to affiliates. These are false claims and we are taking action against anyone who claims to have "special deals" with us.

If you are in touch with 'high-volume' players seeking incentives, you may let them know that there are multiple special offers for players running on the site right now. Please request your players to log in to their PartyPoker.com accounts and see what offer(s) are available to them. (If they have not received anything yet, they may write to bonuses@partypoker.com.

We now have a team that services the needs of high volume players. Please let us know if you are in touch with any such players and I will be happy to introduce them to this team.

We would love to work with you to get new players and increased revenues on PartyPoker.com.

Another thread was started by RakeReduction, so there was no need for me to make a post.

It is an option that Party and I discussed unofficially. It appears that this option has been replaced by one that doesn't involve affiliates. If you want more information, just email bonus@partypoker.com

I haven't contacted them. But, considering how late it is in that part of the world, I doubt you will hear anything today. Many departments at Party don't work on the weekends. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Monday at the earliest before you heard a reply.
