PartyPoker $500 sign up bonus?

[BewilderBeast]

I was looking for some non rakeback deals available from affiliates on party and came across a $500 sign up bonus when you play 25x raked hands(on a deposit of $500). The site offering this is thisisthenuts.com. Has anyone else signed up for this bonus or with this site, and if so are they reliable?

They are a legitimate affiliate I used to have a RB deal through them for Party.

Yes, TITN's is good affiliate.

[kidcolin]

Very very good.

How do some affiliates do massive signup bonuses like this? While most affiliates are just $100 signup 10x playthru?

High-volume affiliates can negotiate with the poker sites to offer better deals to their players.

[Nicholasp27]

these affiliates are paying the bonus themselves

any affiliate, not just high-volume ones should be able to offer this bonus if they want to take the risk; if a bunch of low-limit bonus whores started doing this, they would lose money as the 12,500 hands is not enough to get them $500 in commission if the player is playing .5/1 or, even worse, newbie microlimit tables

all it takes is some creativeness and approaching a site with an idea that will make them money. if the idea makes sense they will allow a bonus or program of this sort.

it does help to be established and have a track record, but being large helps the affiliate protect itself if a marketing idea goes south, as they can weather the storm.

but the sites wont offer an affiliate anything but the regular procedures written on their site, one must ask for preferential deals if he wants them.

all it takes is a little creativeness/brainstorming, hard work, and the balls to ask for something and backup your idea, you may be surprised with what they are willing to do.

[/ QUOTE ]I think that this affiliate pays the additional bonus himself and Party does not share in the payment, as in the initial 20% deposit bonus.
