RakeReduction, why are you so cheap?

With RR it's a trade, if you want to cashout on demand then you have to deal with neg carryovers. If you are willing to wait with another affiliate then you don't get neg carryovers in most cases. RR is right, their system would be primed for abuse if they allowed you to cash out and then go buy a $1000 item in their store on the last day of the month.

That is rubbish. If you could not cash out on demand, you could still buy at the store and not play at FT for the next month or so. It's not like you can't survive playing somewhere else (also with RB) for a month every now and then.
At the very least you would have the choice of keep playing and paying or taking a month break and not paying.


Not to mention that with the current system you could spend all your points at once just after cashing out from RR and never play at FT again. In that case they would not only lose the amount FT claims but the future income from that player as well.

RR is excellent in many regards, but they need to be less greedy and start giving back a little more. All the explanations about not finding a site for the freerolls is shady as well. Practically every other affiliate has something in place, usually a freeroll per site every month. Why should they be the only ones to encounter problems setting something up?

I think the word 'shady' is very wrong here. Like I said, we are trying to setup a very very unique freeroll and all the of the major sites are not willing to do what we want to do. We want this to be a weekly freeroll for starters. We expect the prize pool to be anywhere from $3000 - $6000 per week. We need it to only allow certain players (players who qualify). The only site who would even listen to our idea was Bodog, but they do not allow Canadian users, so we couldnt use them.

At the end of the day, we will be doing this on the Cake Network, but again, it is a very unique idea, and once it's rolled out, you will understand why.

William is quite obviously wrong here and RR pointed out exactly how this could happen.

william, you still haven't really addressed the issue of how RR would deal with people who would abuse the cashout system if negative balances didn't roll over. One of the few rewards that Full Tilt offers is the Iron Man Promotion, so I can see how the regs would not want to give up for a month and play somewhere else like you mentioned in order to get by the negative rollover.

I mean, just speaking for myself, I have given stars a lot more of my action lately, but I still play on Full Tilt enough to make silver, so that I can stay in the challenge.

The others who have posted are right in this regard and lion makes a good point with the revenue sharing system, this is how a business works

why do you have to have a minimum amount of 25 dollars to cashout to the site you are playing at? in my case, full tilt
