*** MANSION- Rakeback Ending - iPoker rakeback opportunity ??? ***

[RakeTheRake]

It has been brought to our attention that Mansion will be ending rakeback for NEW players from 30th June 2007
EXISTING players who are signed up for rakeback by that date will continue to get rakeback at 36% from then onwards.
We have received the following information on this:

I regret to inform you that of the 30th of June 2007, RakeBack will no longer be available on MANSION, and you would not be able to advertise our offer on your site.

Going Forward

We at MANSION believe in honouring our deals so we will be paying RakeBack on all players that are tracked to your affiliate account before the 30th of June 2007.

We will be paying 36% to the players that would sign up with us before June 30th.

A few weeks after the 30th of June, MANSION will be paying the Rakeback to players directly so you don’t have to.


[/ QUOTE ]

Though it is not confirmed we believe this is because they will be joining the iPoker network.
Because existing iPoker sites do not offer rakeback to new players, this could be the perfect back door to be grandfathered in to the scheme.
While the deadline is still far away we would suggest all players sign up with affiliates listed in this forum sooner rather than later in case any dates change.
You would not have to deposit at this stage, but creating your account now would entitle you to rakeback on the network in the future.

(FWIW they are also giving away 56 World Series packages (@$12,500 each) this week in the daily guaranteed $100,000 Overlay tournament)

Kind regards

(Sadly - Mansion does not accept US players)

[Pokeraddict]

Any idea why they might move to a network? Has their traffic been terrible since they dropped US players?

[RakeTheRake]

No idea really...their traffic was never really "up there"

Also we must emphasise that it is purely speculation on our part about where they are going, and is based merely on rumours floating around in the market and the fact that rakeback will not be allowed (for new players) on the new network.

Any idea when they will change to Ipoker (and is it for sure) just opened a account and made a 1000 $ deposit. Playing fixet limit there is not even 1 singel player to play with and they dont offer six max :-(

Thinking about withdrawing my money right back again

[RakeTheRake]

Well the email suggests the change will be on the 1st July.
But again the choice of network is merely an educated guess on our part

Kind regards

i had a sportsbook a/c with mansion last year, can i still set up a new poker a/c using the same neteller details?
also, any deposit bonuses available?

[freecard4all]

sounds good. Will also the sign-up bonus be honored?

i.e. when I deposit before merger, can I earn the bonus after merger?

[RakeTheRake]

We cannot guarantee this but it is most likely that they will honour it or give all new and existing players a new welcome bonus to encourage you players to make the switch

Kind regards
