The affiliate/company running instantbankroll dot com is the same affiliate that I’ve been harping about for a bit now concerning rakeback.
This affiliate has an exclusive deal/agreement with Party Poker. They’ve been open about that fact. They sign players up for a rakeback program using a single bonus code, and each month Party provides this affiliate with individual player stats so they can reimburse players. Sure sounds like Party supporting rakeback to me.
It really is amazing to me that Party continues to support this affiliate by providing them with these stats each month, while they’re in the middle of “cracking down on affiliates that offer rakeback”. Seems like it would be a very simple problem to solve. Just stop sending this affiliate individual player stats every month. Rakeback at Party would go away entirely, and all of us affiliates would be happy because there is now a level playing field.
Until they rectify this situation, we as Party Poker affiliates are at a distinct and undeniable disadvantage.
I’m all about pay for performance, and poker rooms offering exclusive deals and offers to affiliates that perform. I’m all for it, right up to the point that those affiliates kick back the profits to their players, making it impossible for me to compete with them.

Can I beat a dead horse, or what?
Sorry.
