Stop talking nonsense. I'm not defending this company.

It's goofus talk to say "how they want to steal players" is defending them!

Allegations based on gossip and just saying nonsense won't help your cause. In this case, if you have evidence of somebody doing wrong, then post like thecorster. THAT is helpful.

Its my direct information, I didnt think I had a "cause". I posted just to give a friendly heads-up to the forum members. I'll leave it at that

I can confirm that they had the same text re: closing an account and re-opening it in german.
It is true that PartyPoker tolerates it. Because of the fact that they are their biggest affiliate, they seem to have a special status. For example, they know exactly how many PartyPoints every one of their players has, so they have a ranking system rewarding players who generate the most rake.
When I tried to install the same for my players, they turned me down citing "player privacy" (read : they are afraid you might offer rakeback).
After I protested about being treated unfairly, my case worker has ceased to answer any emails that I sent. I have not received a single answer on a dozen requests since 3 months now.
Imho, this is quite an issue. They do have a monopoly at PP already, and with all these special treatments, no small affiliate will be able to compete with them, especially once they start working with other poker rooms.
