That would be a very short sighted approach.
Again, this is the problem:
Granting permission for rake back schemes encourages theft and results in affiliates losing the players they rightfully earned. It is sparking a war that can only end with decent affiliates losing their players unless they settle for less and less pay at each round.
Take some time out and try to take a new look at this – one that includes the position of affiliates.
Paying back money on losses from a casino to players has nothing to do with encouraging affiliates to steal from other affiliates or forcing them to accept a lot less pay than is offered by your program. There is no way a few affiliates can do this and others can survive without.
It cuts the pay from your program to affiliates in half. Who doesn’t want to accept that can just forget about making money from you. If people do accept it and join rake back, others will go even lower. It does not affect you at all, but affiliates will lose their income.
Some other programs have taken a stance and will look out for the welfare of their affiliates, such as Party Poker and Paradise Poker. I will be inclined to go with them.
