bb1webs, I totally agree with your assesment of rakeback. In the long run it will not work because they will end up giving all thier profits away. I really like the loyalty bonus system of poker stars. It really has great prizes and they make it known how to get them…(pp is fuzzy in what they offer). I really think more programs need to make loyalty bonus systems that are fair for the player and are reacheable that will negate the pressure for players trying to find something in return which is why they are turning to rakeback. Players are flocking to poker stars not becasue of the rakeback which would be impossible to give because they offer cpa…but because how they treat customers. Btw this looks like a poker stars love fest…but I am just pointing out what they are doing right. They still have yet to get back to me on a player account that should have been tracked to me….with 2 emails and no response its frusturating. But thats from an affiliate standpoint…
