Q for mega-affiliates: where does the $ for your freerolls come from??

This is more just for curiosity, but does the prize pool that is offerred for the freerolls you occasionally hold for your members come directly out of your own pockets?
Or is it some sort of promotion that the site itself offers you for bringing so many players in?

e.g. I'm registered to play in tomoro's RTR 19K freeroll on FTP. Did that 19K come straight out of RTR's pockets, or is it somehow subsidized by the site?

(i ask b/c i'm also an affiliate -- although a relative small-timer -- and was curious about the logistics of setting up a freeroll for one's players)

I assume its comes out of pocket.

If they pay 3% of MGR toward the freeroll they are now effectively giving 30% rakeback to all players without evading site rules.
