Emmmm – NO!!!!I agree completely. We should do absolutely nothing for the rakeback affiliates. They ruined it for those of us who knew rakeback was a bad idea from the start; the last thing I’m going to do is help them out during their “time of need.”
I refuse to offer rakeback, which puts me at a competitive disadvantage. Now the rakeback affs want us to help them maintain their competitive advantage? HAH! I don’t think so. Tempting offer, though. :woo-hoo:
Communally, we could end rakeback asap.
The rooms do NOT like it hugely advertised. They want it to be an insider thing for large players, passed by word of mouth. Hush hush.
They are scared to death that all players will want rakeback.
Hmmm, yes, should we all decide to do rakeback and plaster it all over the search engines, it will stop asap.
If we have the power to end it, we should. I don’t quite understand how the rooms would be affected one way or another, though. If an affiliate offers money out of his own pocket, that doesn’t affect the bottom line of the room; it only affects the affiliate. Or am I missing something?
Rakeback has always been a slippery slope, and now it appears we are reaching the point of the slope where the slipping can’t be stopped. Sorry guys, but you should have seen this coming. And if you think the non-rakeback affiliates are going to help you maintain your competitive advantage, you must be smoking crack. :rasta:
