Re: WPX- no rake- what\'s the catch?

But how do they make money?
[/ QUOTE ]
They are trying to draw/lure players to their Sportsbook by offering No Rake poker.
Their Sportsbook is large & profitable so they can afford to offer 100% RB.
As others have said, the RB is entirely done through the site (no affiliates). They put your RB into your account each Monday.
I played there off & on for a few weeks but the games were positively dead with few fish to be found.
At prime time there is maybe 1000 players logged in (maybe 1/2 in play money tables) so there might be only a couple of tables going of the level you which to play.
The RB potential cited in this thread is real, however like I said the players are mostly solid regulars with such a small player base.
This isn't surprising as the fish or gambling type players aren't likely to be aware of WPX, and they are equally unlikely to be aware of just how much the rake eats away at potential profits.
