I can also confirm that (last time I checked maybe 6-8 months ago) Pokerstrategy had very detailed "how-to" guides for closing one PP account and signing up over Pokerstrategy.

I am pretty sure that Party has known about this for quite some time. With Pokerstrategy's affiliate campaign literally bringing in millions in each month, though, it seems that Party has opted just to look the other way.

This could get scary for us as affiliates in the near future as Pokerstrategy has recently announced that it will be working with several other sites in the future, not just Party. It's just a matter of time before the guides for closing and reopening accounts at Full Tilt, UB, Absolute, etc. are all written up for Pokerstrategy members.

PokerStrategy Revolution

Like we often announced in the past, the future of PokerStrategy is so amazing and with a lot of surprises for our members: One of these surprises is that we will add more poker rooms to our offer in the future.
What will happen?
After a long and also successful partnership with PartyPoker, we decided to work together with other online poker rooms. The negotiations are still running but soon we will be able to offer you alternatives to PartyPoker.

What does this mean exactly?
In the future new players will be able to select out of a great variety of the biggest poker rooms.
Also in our forum we will be able to have free discussions about the best poker room to play on. A thing that wasn't allowed according to our exclusive deal with PartyPoker.

Why did we do this?
PokerStrategy is growing very fast. PokerStrategy is growing too fast for a single poker room. We still think that PartyPoker is the best place to play on but with the addition of our ninth language (Italian) and the tenth language (Korean) to follow soon we had no other choice of doing this.

When will we start?
At the moment we are in negotiations with the biggest online poker rooms next to PartyPoker. But of course the change can not be made immediately, since we have to change our techniques/support and stuff like this. So we are planning to add the first new poker provider in four to eight weeks. Other poker rooms will follow step by step.

What will happen with the PartyPoints system?
With the introduction of new poker sites plus their different point systems, PokerStrategy will work out a new system, which will combine all the different point systems in one useful solution.

Which options do PokerStrategy members have, who are already a member on one of the new poker sites?
This is a complicated question. But we are working on an appropriate solution. New information about this topic will be available when we added the first new poker room.

What should you do now?
Actually despite a lot of pleasant anticipation nothing changes at the moment. When you are considering to create a new poker account on another site it could be worth waiting a bit. Since we are always offering interesting promotions, content, articles and coachings for our members.
By the way this is only a small step in the not so distant future with PokerStrategy. We will have a couple of amazing changes soon.
