Party no longer sharing tables with skins

Party Poker is no longer sharing tables with it's skins. All of the skins still share tables, but are no longer networked together with Party's tables.

All of the rakeback affiliates just took a major shot to the gut.

Everyone can kiss their Empire Poker affiliate income goodbye. I am currently logged into my empire account and its like a ghost town. I am cashing out now and will probably never play there again. All the rakeback affiliates for Party skins are toast.

ARGH!

This is definetly a backstab from party, like i said in one of my posts here in
the forums. I hate party poker, i truly do! This is just another example of the
party behaviour. I bet they do it just to make shareholders happy! Well this is
just my opinion don't take it too seriously!

It's excellent Party behavior and (at first galnce) they definitely should be congratulated for it. All the cheats get what they deserve. And finally a skin situation that makes sense for Party. Lots less poaching now.

Excellent work Party.

(Watch Party and Empire stock on Monday...)

Interesting move. Business is business, if the agreements allow for this then that's how the agreements are, nothing to "hate" about etc.

I don't offer rakeback, and I don't have any problem with rakeback sites taking a hit... BUT, I like to promote Empire because of the higher CPA so I'm not too happy about this.

By the way, I just took a look at Empire and traffic is still decent at lower limits. Middle and high stakes tables ARE a ghost town.

It makes sense why empire bought noble now. I wouldn't be suprised if Empire eats up the rest.

The blackjack table is pretty sweet. Easy money for us affiliates.

Has anyone confirmed that affiliates will get paid for blackjack revenue?

If we get paid anything from it. I had a player under me call and tell me he lost $700.00 on blackjack tonight. If we don't get paid for it, there's less money for them to spend on rake. This is horrible if we receive nothing.

I know most of my big players there and will try everything I can to send them elsewhere to prevent them from losing their bankroll on blackjack and me not getting anything for it.

The "true" poker players might play it here or there, but I have alot of players that play way beyond their means already.

My promotions for Party are coming to a halt until something is clarrified on this.
