Conclusion: We most likely had no impact on the promo being yanked.

Whatever your arguments, I speak only from the experience that 2+2 kills promos at an alarming rate. There was one just last week. The fact that it was posted here and discussed at length was quite possibly noticed and caused panic. You talk about Party Casino as if you know them, but just because they are run by a poker site that you know intimately, does not mean they will behave as you expect. It's quite likely a different team, and they certainly have very different strategies. The rakeback example is irrelevant. This is the world of casinos, and Party Casino's actions were neither surprising nor unprecedented.

If we killed it for you, we don't care.

Of course, I quite understand. But I'm hoping that someone here - and you won't be one obviously - will realise that, for him or her personally, not sharing is more profitable. I hope the OP might think that he would be $6-12k in EV richer if he hadn't posted it. Even if he doesn't, I hope someone else who in the future might post a bonus to 2+2, will now think twice. That it helps me will be irrelevant to them.

If Party did get scared that their Promo was going to bring in too many undesireable players and therefore yanked it, they made a huge mistake.

Again, whatever the actual casino habits of the average 2+2 reader, the fact is that 2+2 does kill bonuses. Maybe all those casinos are really stupid and they should leave the bnuses, and let 2+2ers join and then donk away the profits. But they don't, because they see 1000 new signups in 2 days and they panic. Or in Party's case, they see a site that they know has sent 1000 of bonus players to other casinos start talking about their promo with huge EV predictions and plans to multi-table. So they panic.

Who cares what their motives or perceptions are, it's the result that counts.
