Actually, I appreciate the fact that Chipleader does this. It gives the affiliate a chance to act on it if they can. Which ever way, if the player is asking for this, then chances are you are going to lose that player if you cannot offer a rakeback or another solution. And that is exactly why I appreciate the fact that chipleader does this. They will not move the player without your permission. If you are capable of helping the player everybody wins.. if not, both lose as the player will more than likely move on to a place where he/she can get rakeback.
Your answer still doesn’t address these issues. Chipleader doesn’t have a right to give out my private information to anyone without my permission. If Chipleader wants to make an attempt to meet the customers needs by emailing me to ask me if I want to give a player rakeback, then they are free to do so. I shouldn’t have to give up my privacy rights because of rakeback affiliates.
Another thing that rakeback affilaites need to realize is this . . . Giving rakeback is not always the optimal strategy. Being a asuccessful rakeback affiliate isn’t as easy as just cutting a check to your players every month. You have to spent tons of time dealing with financial issues and customer emails. Many non-rakeback affiliates (including me) do not want to get into the rakeback business. Although we may (or may not) make less money, many times we will make more money for our time invested since we don’t have to deal with operational issues. Rakeback affiliates need to stop telling non-rakeback affiliates that they are making a strategic mistake by not giving rakeback – because they don’t know what our strategies are.
But regardless of the opinions of the affiliates, I am still waiting for a reply from Chipleader.
