What should someone in my situation do to get an increase in mgr with PartyPoker?

I have been an affiliate with PartyPoker for almost 2 years. I only have 15 players signed up, however, I generate an average of $50 000 in mgr a month. The majority of players I have signed up are winning players that I know from local casinos. I stoped trying to recruit players over a year ago when I stopped going to casinos to play poker (now I play only online). However, I know about 20 people who play over 40 hours a week of poker live but they don't play online. I want to try and sign them up under me, but I want higher mgr befroe doing this. I know that Party gives higher mgr if you bring in a lot of players, but what if I bring few players that produce a huge amount of mgr? What do you guys average in mgr? And do you think I can negotiate something with Party that does not include getting continuous signups, but rather just high revenue?

I don't think they really have any incentive to raise your mgr since you really aren't sending them much as far as real players. You have more bargaining power if you are actively getting new players (since you could take them elsewhere).

Ya but I could take these players somewhere else too. You know how much even 10 players who player 15-30 multi tables over 40 hours a week? I have 2 players that have generated over 200k each in 2 years and are still going strong. Wouldn't Party want more players like this?

I'd say if youre bringing in that much they'll give you a raise. Just tell them you have more players you want to bring on board. They'll see that the players you bring in are better than 1000 players and give you a raise.

I think its a stretch to tell them you can move "your" players. They are making big money palying poker at Party poker. There is a reason they win at party Poker. They have tons and tons of fish. People play at Party for a reason. I've played at most of the other rooms and you couldn't pay me to switch.
