This is a very interesting post. I think the entire issue of rakeback can be taken both ways. Of course if you offer it then you love the fact that you are able to get the stats to give your players a % back. However if your an affiliate that doesn’t offer rakeback then you probably believe rakeback is evil.
Personally I feel the only entity that should be able to offer rakeback is the card room itself. The problem occurs when crooked affiliates start offering rake backs, and believe it, there are many out there. Talk about a headache………..how many emails do you think these card rooms get in a day complaining that some affiliate did not pay them their agreed upon rake back. Do you think they really care???
I know alot of you guys probably make a decent amount of coin giving rake backs but I still feel the card rooms should be the only people to offer it :kisser: Rake Back really puts the affiliate community on an unfair playing field when promoting and further more stimulates crooked affiliates to promote rake back who will never pay the players.
Just my two cents,
