Selling a Party Poker Affiliate Account

[gogogators]

Hey Guys,
I tried to find something here on this topic before posting but couldn't. If I missed it, please provide a url to the thread. If its not already answered, can anyone tell me if I am allowed to sell my party poker affiliate account to someone else? I know I can sell them my website and then they can have all new signups go to their own affiliate account but for I need to sell my existing player base as well (I am on MGR). If anyone has done this, please let me know if Party was totally cooperative, gave you a hard time or what. I can't find anything in Party's Affiliate Ts & Cs on the topic.

I think this really boils down to simply changing the NAME on the affiliate account and most importantly changing the Neteller account that the Party Cashier sends the money to. If I am missing something, please let me know.

Thanks!

PS. This is a great forum, I wish I had found it BEFORE I was getting out of the business.

Hi gogogators,

I like the name by the way

This is a late reply, but I don't see any others to it, sorry if I missed them if there are...

I would not see a problem with selling your affiliate account, I actually think this is a good idea. If of course you have some good players under you and are generating revenue, this would be more of an attraction to the buyer. Also, you would most likely have to provide some information like this to the potential buyer so they know what and who they are taking on.

It is also best to ask your affiliate network if they have any issues with this. Just incase...

I've heard that you CAN NOT sell your party affiliate account. hhmmmm, where did I hear that?

Oh yeah, it's in the affiliate agreement.

I read the entire affiliate agreement before posting this question. The only thing I see that relates to my quesiton is this:

8.6 Assignment. Except where you have received our prior written consent, you may not assign at law or in equity (including by way of a charge or declaration of trust), sub-license or deal in any other manner with this Agreement or any rights under this Agreement, or sub-contract any or all of your obligations under this Agreement, or purport to do any of the same. Any purported assignment in breach of this clause shall confer no rights on the purported assignee.

That seems to state its up to Party which is why I posted here asking if anyone has done it. Please let me know if I missed a more blatant clause prohibiting such a sale.

It's pretty blatant. You can't do it. You can ask Party for permission, but there isn't anything else to talk about here.

[gogogators]

Why is there nothing more to discuss?

My OP says "If anyone has done this, please let me know if Party was totally cooperative, gave you a hard time or what."

That seems like a reasonable thing to discuss.

Anyone have any experiences with this?

He also said: "I can't find anything in Party's Affiliate Ts & Cs on the topic."

Okay, yes, asking if anyone has done it could be helpful (though the lack of an affirmiative response by now would seem to be the answer).
