Probably a stupid question

[Baby Mantis]

but I will ask anyway, why is it once you have played with real money at a site you can't get rakeback?

What is to stop someone from just creating a new account with a new email?

I have an account with Full Tilt, Ultimate Bet, Poker.com, and PokerStars, I am pretty sure that rakeback doesn't apply to the last 2 though. That means I am not eligilbe for rakeback now doesn't it.

If I am not eligible at these sites then where are some other popular rakeback sites?

Thx

Stars doesn't do rakeback at all. Don't know about Poker.com.

You can still get RB at Cakepoker, Absolute (and skins) and some of the minor sites.

From the casino's point of view, they're not paying you to play, they're paying someone for finding you in the first place.

Once you've signed up, they don't feel they have any motive to provide a bonus to anyone.

Nothing. Set up a new account, enter the affialite's bonus code, transfer your cash to the new id, and you're off and running.

TY, I've always wondered. This does make perfect business sense, but as someone who found out about rakeback several days after signing up for FTP it always ticked me off.
