Before all of you go and overreact about this here is the original email from AP/UB.
If you have players that aren’t playing at AP/UB because they already signed up an account internally in the past and want rakeback as an incentive to return, then for ONE month only (October 2008), Chipleader is changing the rules so they can now come back and get rakeback.
All you have to do is present us with all your players that fulfill the following 2 requirements:
The player must be inactive with AP/UB for 3 months or more.
The player cannot be tagged to anyone else.We will then at that time tag the players to your affiliate account so your players can begin to earn rakeback when they switch back to AP/UB.
While I have certainly been hard on AP/UB in the past they are in the right here. They are trying to convert inactive players through rakeback. They are going to big rakeback affiliates who they know get asked about rb on existing accounts all the time and telling them they can convert them now if they are inactive and signed up internally (not through an affiliate). What’s wrong with that? They are willing to take a pay cut to convert their own internal inactive players and no affiliate loses their players.
From reading Rakebreak’s email I assume they figure most players don’t know if they used an affiliate or not to sign up so they are going to get all the info and let Chipleader sort it out. Maybe they also just want the players to contact them that may not qualify so they can sell them on another room.
