Party buys Empire

vluna · #1 02-14-2006, 05:23 PM

Its official....I just received an email from Tradal to replace my Empire banners with CD poker. Does anyone have any insight as to what will happen with the platforms. Will Empire join Party again, and if so what happens to our players?

What will happen to the players that you have with empire poker? I don't have many but am curious what the standard procedure on a buyout like this with affiliate players. Party Poker just got alot bigger...

I'm glad they aren't with Tradal anymore. Tradal blows! I have been with them for 2 years and I make maybe 100 bucks a month. I'm curious to see how things change with Party.

heard from my partyPoker rep. they'll be part of the partyPartners program now.

i'm waiting on my trackers so i can replace them. ugh, what fun that'll be. worst case scenerio, 70 sites to update. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

even worse, i was doing fine on residual income from them. maybe the only human on earth to be able to say that though.

I see Tradal already send the traffic from our ep.com trackinglink to noble poker !

I just finished replacing all of my empire poker links with Planet poker.

First I lose my starluck players after a 'software upgrade' and now I lose my empire poker players.

Not very impressed with party partners at the moment.

As for tradal... good riddance, I will not be working with them soon.
