I first read about this over at StudioGlyphic, and then got the e-mail about it when I woke up today.

Hello Alan,

Unfortunatley, we have some bad news – iGlobalMedia, the software provider for all Party Skins, has mandated that PokerNOW immediatley stop all rakeback relationships with their affiliates.

This was not PokerNOW’s decision, it was iGlobalMedia’s, and PokerNOW has to go by what they say.

We, of course will pay all rakeback due through March 11th. This is an across the board decision, and all sites offering PokerNOW as a rakeback partner must take them down immediatley.

Our other rakeback provider Caribbean Sun, is completely on board with our rakeback program, many of our players enjoy huge rakebacks from them. We will also add another site as soon as possible.

We are truly sorry for this, but it was a complete shock to us and other affiliates. If you have any questions, please email us or post inthe rakeback forum, we have started a thread there as well.

This has caused a delay in processing all rakeback points from being credited, however all will be completed today.

Thanks,

Tom
Customer Service Manager

I don’t particularly like the Crypto software, so I’m not too thrilled about having to play at Caribbean Sun to get rakeback. I just sent off an e-mail to Party cancelling my account. I’ll continue to play their tables at PokerNow (or get in on a Eurobet rakeback deal for however long that lasts), and then create a new account there through a rakeback affiliate in three or six months, when they let me. I don’t where I’m going to play in the immediate future, now. I have a bonus to finish off at Bet Holdem, and have a bunch of bonus money at Absolute, UB, and Stars. And FullTilt, but working off the bonus there is a real pain.

Any suggestions?
