AP rake back method

[SuperPanda22]

Hi all, this may be a silly question, but i can't seem to find a straight forward answer anywhere...

I plan on signing up for Absolute + rakeback. Some affiliates say that Absolute calculates rake using the Dealt method while others say it uses the Contributed method.

Which one is right? Or is it affiliate dependent? Which one is "better?"

Thanks for your help!

I have confirmed from them that it is contributed after it had previously been dealt. Dealt is better unless you are a call station.

Ah ok, so it seems like they changed it (recently?). So, some of these affiliates are either advertising incorrect information or simply haven't updated their sites?

Thanks for the response!

It was changed sometime around 4 months ago. It was also never told to affiliates AFAIK.

Ff it is actual contributed then why is my rakeback close to twice what it says I have paid in PT?

I do not know if this is accurate, but this is the response I recieved from absolute:

Dear Mr. Bill Frist,

Thank you for your email.

Please notice that each site has the right to decide how they set their
promotions, in this case, our affiliates are the ones that decide how
they calculate their rakeback.

As an advice, please contact our affiliates websites for more
information about their promotions.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know.

Thanks for playing at Absolute Poker! We're here for you!

Sincerely,

Hello,

I was wondering how your rakeback is calculated. I am seeing
conflicting info on rakeback sites, some say it is dealt others say it is
contributed. Could you please explain it to me?

Thanks

Bill

Interesting response. I had not ever heard that. Maybe an affiliate out there can let us know their take on that. Are affiliates offered two options to pay the players?

No.

I think they just meant the affiliates decide how much rake back to pay the players (ie. 25%, 28%, etc).

Does anyone know for sure how AP does rakeback????
