Hi Thomas,
With regards to the forum post, affiliates who are new and not aware of the fraudulent players who will take advantage of new affiliates starting out with free $50 will have a hard time. Party poker takes a very strong stand on fraud, affiliates are responsible for the quality of traffic that they send to Party Poker.
All affiliates who promote by giving $50 to new players must have a fraud system in place to help minimize the level fraud that they will attract. We will always work closely with our affiliates to help them promote Party Poker in the most effective way and also advise them with practical strategies to avoid any problems that may arise with their account.
We are both here to make a profit but no one makes money from fraud and affiliates have to understand that.
If you have any further queries please let me know.
Best regards,
Mark Suwankumpoo
