Hi again all,
well it comes down to the poker rooms. They should offer the rakeback scheme to all affs and not just some. it should be set standard to create a level playing field.
That has always been my stance. I’m sorry if misunderstood. I have no problem accepting less % …. but have a large problem when the guy next to me is offering more than I can afford.
when rakeback first started … it was the affs offering it …… not thru a poker room (in many cases). This created an unequal playing field and gave me no incentive to promote poker. I lost players I had for years due to it.
I think Dan and I agree but have termed our appraoch differently. I don’t think he wants to see his % forced down further than what he’s already giving because he has to due to the next guy offering a bit more back than he is.
again …. it all falls on the poker rooms. But there are …. (or used to be …. i’ve been out a long time) affs who were offering kickbacks thru their sites. This is what a true rakeback is. A poker room offering a kickback is the same as a bonus or comp. Even if it takes the aff agreeing to less. at least the affs have the chance to either accept or deny this.
