Saying that a room that offers rakeback is unethical is the same as branding all casinos with a loyalty program where you get $1 for every $10 played back.
The fact that affiliates cover these costs in a poker room is their own choice. If you don’t like it – don’t promote it. We do very well without the rakeback.
It is just a matter of time that any affiliate who does not offer a rake back program for a site that allows it will lose all their players to affiliates who do offer rake back. All the money and time you spent trying to get a new real money player will go to waste. A heavy player would be foolish not to be getting a rake back if the site allows it. As the market becomes more saturated with rake back plans, you will feel the effects in your bottomline. You might not be feeling it now, but it is just a matter of time.
