Partygammon

The point system is being exploited, extreme case:

A 1500 rated player with moderate to high experience on PartyGammon gains/loses 1 to 2 points for each cash game won/lost. He plays for $10 a point / $80 a game, eventually gaining 80 points winning a healthy sum from inexperienced players in the 1400 to 1600 point range. He concurrently plays eight 21 point matches for 50c each and purposefully loses them to offload 80 rating points at a net cost of $4 with each match taking 20 mins or less.

There are green and yellow ranked players (1400 to 1599) who are no less than break even against most of the 1700+ rated players on your site. They have been under 1599 for several weeks and I expect they will continue to exploit the rating system and take advantage of the unsuspecting.
