Partypoker and the other extensions

[simon]

Do you know why most of the names that have partypoker in it , for example
partypoker.biz
partypoker.cc
partypoker.ws
partypoker.biz

are forwarded to partypoker.com? I dont think partypoker.com owns all those extensions( whois shows different owner) or do they get some comission for directing the traffic to partypoker.com?

thanks for your input.

Yes they have affiliate program. On Per Sign-Up Plan they pay out $65-$75 per real player referred.

But why would anyone type in the alternate extensions?
