Hi guys!

I know I am calling for a bashing when I tell you guys this. I did the free partypoker promotion frree $75 ones and gave out 13 accounts. Now I have not been paid and my account has been put on hold. I am supposed to get $1475 in affiliate payments. I am very mad for I signed under the CPA and I had naive understanding of the concept till Jeremy explained to me that its poker players they need not signups. There is no indication of any of this in their agreement?

Please my friends, help me what should I do? I am never doing the free promotion again but does anyone know what I need to do? Please guide me how to get my money back?

Anyone I could talk to? Please help. I am really desperate for my money now.

Vik

ur players have not generated enough rake, even though ur on the cpa plan. Party has to be atleast be breaking even with u, there is alot of fraud and this is how they cut down on it. So ur payments will be released but ur rake has to increase.

Please see my thread titled "Party Poker is a joke!" - I know many others who have been caught in this same situation... you'll just have to hope that your players play enough over the next few months that eventually Party will pay you!

thanks but is there nuthing else I can do. I talked to my AM Dione Scott and she informed me that she is yet to get the reason why the account has been put on hold. I am waiting for her to email me back when she knows. ANy other suggestions?

If you are a new affiliate and [# of RMP] X [CPA Amount] + [BONAZA AMOUNT] < [RAKE GENERATED BY PLAYERS] they will hold out on your payment. If you are an established affiliate and have plenty of previous players you won't run into this problem... so the good news is once you get paid this time the chance of this occuring again is somewhat slim!

That still does not matter if you are still below the rake they will still withhold your money. You should atleast ask your AM to give you half so you can still sign up people. Thats what I done in the past when I first started out. If you work with party they will work with you.

i will talk to her soon. However, I just looked under my monthly statement and it says my account status is suspiscious. ANy ideas why? Will it say that just if I do not have enough rake?

Its fine they say that most of the time.

Yeah, don't take the "suspicious" thing personally. I did something similar when I first started out except it was exclusive to about 20 of my friends and I did it on MGR to be sure. My account showed suspicious, then after about 10 days, I was paid.

I'm really only repeating whats already been said, but to surmise :

1. The account will be on hold until your players rake enough to release your commission OR
2. You sign up fresh players whose rake equals their CPA and contribute towards your on hold CPA

Your best bet is to show understanding, and say you're in this for the long run, so you're going to try another promotion to recruit better players, but need x% of your held commission released to do this. They are usually quite willing to do this.

The suspicious thing is almost a default message, so don't worry about that.

And your AM SO knows why your acocunt is on hold! believe me
