So it appears that Empire will be re-joining the Party platform. Does anyone have any idea what this means for affiliates? Will we continue to get paid for past Empire players we signed up? Will players w/ both Party and Empire accts be forced to choose one or the other? RB implications??

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

I am pretty sure party is not paying affiliates for empire players.

That is correct. Party will be keeping 100% of the MGR from the Empire players.

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

i thought empire affiliates stopped getting paid long ago. have you guys been getting paid?

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

sry affilates/rakeback n00b,

So with Empire rejoining PP, is Empire offering RB like before the break up or no?

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

Probably not, but would be nice as I would kill for a RB deal on the party network [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

What are you talking about guys I sent an email to tradal/empire poker and look what they said about rakeback.
I'm not really sure what this means but i emailed them again and I will tell u what they say.


Dear affiliate,
Please write to us from your registered email address so that we are able to
locate your account and check your query in detail.
Also provide us with your Full name.

Regards Empire, if you had a revenue share deal, you will get paid on the
old players activities (lifetime revenue) although you will not be able to
recruit any new players.
Thanks

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

Is there any reason not to deposit $500 and wait to play against the party donks to clear the $200 bonus?

This bonus is only good for 72 hours after your deposit. Since the last time you can deposit is April 1 I kind of doubt the merge is going to happen fast enough.

edit: Even if the merge started tomorrow it is likely that Party would FUBAR the upgrade until your bonus expired.

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

im pretty sure this bonus is empire's last try to make some money before the merger

They didn't say anything about rakeback. They just said they would be making affiliate payments. Party pays their affiliates too.

Re: Empire re-merging w/ Party
 

Is anyone of you receiving any payments from Tradal for your old revenue share deal? I am getting pissed of because Tradal says they will pay anyone with a revenue share deal "as before" but I have received an email telling me that I will not get compensated for my players because Party does not do Rakeback.

Is it not time for us to put some pressure on Tradal or are you letting they screw us?
