Okay… Thank you all so much! You have given me ALOT to think about! I first started thinking about rakeback, when I started dealing with No1 Poker Room, being a smaller newer aff program.. I was looking for ways to sign up my new players… As you can see by my post in the (I don’t want to say bad
…) “not so proffesional yet” affiliate thread that point is now moot. After No1 1stly didnt come through, I thought offering say a month of rake back, might help bring them back into players good graces.
I am still though considering offering rake back to a few of my players.. One in particular, is a HUGE player, I’ve actually watched him play once or twice, and he tends to stick to very low limits (.25-.50 NL ring) Only 1 table at a time as far as I can tell, but my rake from this player is generally around $1000 a month! He prefers two casino’s .. One is mine, one is not.. hence the reason I was looking for a little more incentive to sway him toward playing my casino all the more (yes I realize I call poker rooms casinos .. I’ve tried to retrain myself
)
Soo… to be an evil (and in my own opinion.. unfair to my smaller players) and give the guy rake back.. or not? (there are also a few other players that I might consider offering to as well…)
Any other ideas for keeping my guy playing on the sites I promote, and not the ones that I don’t? ( I absolutely despise his choice #2.. not that it matters being that he is already signed there)
