Default Why PartyPoker is a joke!

Firstly, their conversions are VERY low. 95% of serious poker players already have (or had) an account there, and with tons of free PartyPoker bankroll sites the one that don't yet are tough to convert.

Secondly, their affiliate system is a joke - this month I received 1/10th of my commision, heaven knows how long it will take me to sort this out (it took me 9 weeks to get my friend placed as my sub a few months ago).

Thirdly, their pay is sh*t. 25% poker MGR is weak - although they have a strong brand so it's not terrible. Their BlackJack MGR is complete garbage however, this month I made 2.1% Casino MGR at PartyCasino

I barely promote PartyPoker as it is (for any of my sites that rank for general poker terms you'll never find a PartyPoker ad) but I rank for some Party Poker related terms so I can't remove them entirely... or can I? This rant is to (hopefully) vent a little of my frustration with PartyPartners before I do something drastic... I'm currently considering throwing up a TitanPoker bonus code & link on my PartyPoker bonus code sites, and completely removing the PartyPoker links (but keeping all the keywords there so I still rank highly). Sure conversions would be lower (although I'll put in a blurb about how terrible PartyPoker is and how great TitanPoker is, which should help), and some players would be upset that they were tricked and now have to go back to their search page, but atleast the real players I do land would be worth something.

Im sorry to hear of your bad luck with partypoker. I do run a BANKROLL site for partypoker and titanpoker and both of them have treated me well. Yes they are slow to get the payments out. I understand your pain for the long 9weeks of getting your sub. I really think partypoker is getting better with their affiliate support.

Sounds like you have problems of your own to address. Party gets more new players each month than any cardroom, by a large margin. They are still the easiest place to send players to, and of course they are much easier to keep there than any place except Pokerstars.

In my experience PartyPoker is the best of the best.

I still get great conversions, not like the good old days three or four years ago but it's still a steady stream of new RMP's.

I've make more from Casino rev than poker for the last few months myself so I guess it really depends on the quality and type of customers that your websites and promotions are attracting.

Party may suck for some but they are the main reason I am lying here on the beach right now typing away and playing some 3-6 Holdem instead of working 9-5 at some boring ass job.

I love you PartyPoker and keep up the great work as the most successful online poker room in the world!.....Period.

P.S. ... It's about time you got into the lucrative sports betting biz.

I know Party has pulled the plug on at least one big bankroll operation (really big) so I can only assume that you other guys are running under the radar.

I'd suggest treading carefully...

Georgia,

Do you know which bankroll operation they pulled the plug on?

Personally I have never had a problem with Party. They have converted well for me.

I have seen many problems with their customer service, or lack there of, but we all know that.
