I can understand the players being upset but that should be directed towards the affiliate because the bottom line is the affiliate is going back on the agreement. The poker rooms say this type of thing is between you (affiliate) and the player. If the affiliate wants to make right by the players they should A: not only stop the rake backs to this particular room (and get a clue that it is possible that other rooms could do the same), B: continue to pay these players what was promised as they are still making what is a very nice commission off the them.
Very true, it is the affiliate that is letting his players down here.
And this is not unexpected at all – even the players say that it was to be expected.
And surely the aff knew – PP has been making lots of noise about stopping all types of rake back for quite some time.
