Full tilt vs Pokerstars / affiliate rakeback vs directly rakeback

[RakeReduction]

They don't offer it to all players, because as said before, those players that were earning 0% and were happy not knowing about rakeback, they would now lose 27% to them.

The advantage of the affiliate rakeback can be several things. For example a site like ours, you get paid everyday if you want instead of waiting once a month if FT paid you. A site like RTR, they have really big freerolls. A site like This is the nuts, they give free videos. We also give MGR & Referral cash contest prizes. All of the above mentioned, you WOULDN'T get if you went to FT directly. The rakeback affiliates work hard to obtain players and keep them happy.

Just my .02 cents

but rakereduction all these are including to the form of rakeback and really none of these make the difference or the advantage of an affiliate rakeback instead of directly.

gameplay, id have to disagree.. If you sign up with FT directly (Assuming they gave 27% rakeback)

- Would they pay you daily? No
- Would they give you EXTRA freerolls each mont? No
- Would they give you a piece of your friends rake for referring them? No
- Would you get free videos? No
- Would you win cash prizes for the most MGR or referring the most people each week? No

So what do you get? 27% rakeback directly from the site itself. Granted, it is much more secure and safe, the affiliate won't 'cut and run' but some of us have been giving rakeback long before the term rakeback was even coined.

Additionally players tend to email their rakeback affiliates general site questions that would otherwise go to the monkey support teams of the various poker rooms. Players who come in through big rakeback affiliates are worth much more to the sites than those that dont.

they would pay the players 30% directly without affiliates and not 27%.

red lion and if the affiliate site for any reason stops pay you then you will have an account without rakeback which the full tilt site will not let you change.

Actually if your affiliate goes rogue, they have been very good about this in the past.

if you have a no rakeback account and you dont play there for a long time? are they good? or do they think you are enough idiot to play without rakeback?
