Default The word from Party...

Ok, I don't have the official word yet, but I do have a contact finally who I have been emailing back and forth with. I have been promised to be notified as soon as they figure out their official stance on this. In summary, I SHOULD be able to offer you anything these other guys can...... so again, thanks for being patient. I'll let you know as soon as I do, which according to this latest email (5 minutes ago) should be today or tomorrow:

-----
No problem, as you rightly say we have many affiliates to address on this
issue and all shall be notified as soon as we can comment. We are hoping to
comment later today or at the latest tomorrow.

Good stuff. I'm glad I waited now, the two other affiliates I have been in contact with have been flip flopping like mad, publicly advertising one minute, then hiding the ads the next.

My prediction on the official stance is dismal though. I have a feeling theyre going to say those crappy points deals you guys all got this month are going to be the new norm. I mean if Mike Sexton says so, its gotta be the best deal in online poker right?

According to my affiliate this is the official word from party:

"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 ).

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."

And now, according to me (sounds oddly familiar):

If anyone hears otherwise, please let me know, and if you decide to, proceed with extreme caution.

Told ya, sounds exactly like what I thought. I wonder if they'll start comping SNG play. If their points system works out to 25% rakeback like I was getting at Eurobet, I'll go back to fourtabling them, but I wont hold my breath.
