Changing my FullTilt affiliate from Reduce the Rake
 

I signed up under Reduce the Rake to receive rakeback at FullTilt and Party last year, and as many of us know, Reduce the Rake decided to steal our Party rakeback tell us we were straight out of luck because he'd rather keep the last few payments for himself once he got busted.

So now I want to start playing at FullTilt again, but:

1. I can't stomach Reduce the Rake earning a piece of my MGR

2. I know he will withhold payment when times are tough or he gets shutdown, and will lie to me and try to manipulate me to extract maximum value from me, and shirk his payment responsibilities

Has anyone had a similar problem and gotten switched to another affiliate on FullTilt? I just emailed FullTilt's affiliates department and they told me:

"Your affiliate Reduce the Rake is still paying players rakeback. You have not been generating any revenue which is why you are not getting rakeback. If you start playing on FullTilt again then you will be entitled to receive rakeback. We are not going to move your player account over to another affiliate because we already have an agreement with your current affiliate."

I know some people have mentioned backdoor not-so-legitimate ways, like signing up with a different email address and payment method, but has anyone managed to do this in the open?

If Full Tilt says no you can't do it in the open. Try a new account with a different funding method.

That post is pure trash. We have never missed a payment on Full Tilt Poker ever. This can be verified with Full Tilt affiliate management.

Wow is right! I have NO personal knowledge of what happened, but all you have to do is sort this forum by views, and this thread comes up second (right after CCU):

Reduce The Rake Is....

Edit to add: This thread has the potential to become verrrry interesting...

Um...your website is down and you stole 3k from me and a lot more from many other members. Fine, good con, but don't expect me to give you any more business.

Re: Changing my FullTilt affiliate from Reduce the Rake
 

the poker sites should allow you to switch affiliates for this very reason,

or at least allow you to open up one more account.

Re: Changing my FullTilt affiliate from Reduce the Rake
 

Agreed.

The concept behind affiliates and the rules surrounding them is that affiliates will drive business with more signups and more play.

When the affiliates are instead discouraging signups and DISCOURAGING PLAY with questionable practices, sites should re-evaluate the rules in these situations.

Its in their own best interest.

Post this thread and "Reduce the rake is SCUM" thread to fulltilt and explain why you want to change. If many do that I think they will shutdown Reduce the rake since it hurts their business.
