jstill -- I think that the ANL promotion is timed quite well. Monday and Tuesday are fairly high-traffic days, because ofrakeback being distributed Sunday night.

Where is there information or an announcement of this? Is there some 'news' page or something?

I just started playing here again last week and this news is semi disappointing. However, if there is an affiliate program in the works that could possibly increase traffic then this could be a good move. 75% with the current player pool isn't going to cut it, so I hope there will be a big push for new sign-ups.

I understand the need to cut the rakeback, and just hope some of this gets funnelled back to a marketing campaign. Ironically, WPEX was a positive sum site (with aces never lose and freerolls) and still was losing market share.

where is info that they are going to give money to affiliates?

i honestly love this idea

I hope this works...traffic has been lower since this change happened. Can't even keep 2 3/6 tables going after midnight (CST).

It's a little early to make judgements based on this already. You have to expect there will be some who will instantly leave. Whatever it is that WPEX will do with the 25% will obviously not have happened by now. It'll take weeks or months (after they implement their plan) for us to know what the future may hold. As I, and others, have said, let's just hope they don't screw up what could very likely be their last chance. They've been lucky enough to be the most talked about small site up till now...there's not a lot of time for them to prove this is a good decision.

I understand that it will take some time to get things moving. Problem is that when potentially new players log on at midnight and see 400 people playing and very few tables, it's not going to attract them. I love WPX, I just hope they thought this through is all.
