It is impossible to get negative revenue from the blackjack games at Party. Party Poker stated that since so many affiliates were worried about getting their poker rake wiped out from blackjack winners, they implemented a new method to calculate affiliate commission. Here is a brief summary of how they calculate it:
Per Party Poker, the house edge for their Blackjack Game is 1%. That means if every player plays basic blackjack strategy perfectly, Party Poker stands to make a 1 dollar profit per 100 dollars wagered. Out of that 1 dollar profit, the affiliate gets 20%, or 20 cents. That means for every 100 dollars your players wager, you make 20 cents…regardless if they win or lose the wager. This way there is never any negative revenue. I do not agree with this model because most players do not play perfect strategy. I think affiliates would make a lot more money if they were getting 20% of the net losses.
I think everyone who is a PartyPoker affiliate should lobby for the option to able to choose the current method or a percentage of the net losses.
