Daniel Negreanu's FCP moving to Pokerstars

Too bad the mgr option for affiliates is delayed again again. I guess they don't need afiliates too much as they have EPT and all the pros.

After much thought and consideration, Full Contact Poker has decided that it is in the best interest of its poker players to merge with one of the industry’s top poker sites, PokerStars.com. As part of this merger, all FCP player balances (cash and player points) will be transferred to PokerStars. Full Contact Poker and PokerStars will try to make the account transfer process as easy and seamless as possible.

We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding during the transition process, which will take place over the next few days. Please take care to read the information that follows very carefully.

Full Contact Poker will cease all poker and casino operations in all countries and return FullContactPoker.com to its roots as a forum-based poker community that features Daniel Negreanu and his popular blog, video diaries and a new video poker school that is in development. FCP players now have the opportunity to shift their FCP accounts over to PokerStars, where they will join over 9 million other players on the World’s largest poker site, assuring themselves of a game of poker any time of day.

In a separate agreement, Daniel Negreanu has signed as a member of Team PokerStars, showing his commitment to where he sees the future of online poker.

The soon-to-be-revamped Full Contact Poker website and community will now have the best of both worlds. Daniel will continue to be an active leader in the FCP Community, while at the same time PokerStars has agreed to become the new home for many of our community’s online poker events, including Negreanu’s Protégé 3, future Weekend at Daniel’s events, the weekly Negreanu Open and much more!

This is a good move for both parties. Full Contact Poker was a pretty lame poker room.

I am excited about this. I hope that PS will do what FCP was offering in having a pro mentor the average person so to speak. I know many people who would rather spend a few days with thier favourite pro and learn, play all that than ever go to the WSOP.

Wow, Pokerstars made a great deal. Negreanu is one of the most known players around.

And the lack of MGR really sux

Poker Stars has the ability to become the #1 poker affiliate program...but it seems they don't want to.

WHY?
