I received a notification from bonuswhores that Party Poker has reintroduced the Empire Poker tables into their network.

Should make for more yummy games :)

    I wonder if this opens a buying opportunity on Empire's stock considering it got hammered bad when party booted them.

    For the people that were on Empire or Party? I assumed that 90% of the people that played on the old party skins were there for rakeback deals...

    Yeah brutal!!
    Party lets empire go which kills rakeback then buys them back.. What a scam!

    It's not a scam. They kick Empire and the rest of the skins for giving rakeback deals (while leeching off Party's player base). Destroy their market value and then buy them back at a fraction of the price. It's freaking brilliant.

    I don't think the games can get much softer and I don't think that this will bring in many more players as most skin players switched to a Party rakeback when the changes were initially implemented.

    Not if you use the rakeback! The greedy Bastards!

    what exactly is this rakeback, out of curiousity? I mean, it sounds obvious, and that you would get some of whatever is raked from you back, but how much, and how exactly does it work?

    Rakeback is just what it sounds like. You get a percentage of your rake back every month. That percentage can be anywhere from 20-35% depending on the affliliate. Now any bonus are usually deducted from your MGR prior to the rakeback calculation.

    sites with affiliate programs offer there current players money or rakeback to bring new players to their sites. Alot of online pros use rakeback deals to supplement their income. I know guys who are 8-10 tabling cash games up to 8 hours a day... now if you can consistantly pull in 3bb's from the cash games and then add in 25% of your rake back onto your bank roll it can be very large sums..

    Some of these guys have gone from 6 max 1/2 limit all the way up to 15/30 limit and have never sat a limit under rolled...
    They're also running twin monitors to be able to do this with less stress.
