Default Is PSO making loads of cash off me?

If I signed up to a site though PSO, do they get rakeback from my play or is it a cash payment up front?
Just curious.

we wouldnt know what type of tracker they signed you up under.

see my post in this thread for an explanation of the two prevailing payment methods sites give to affiliates..

They wouldnt be "rakeback" trackers, they would be MGR trackers. Rakeback is what the affilaite pays the player. I would guess they use MGR trackers, unless their average player doesnt play very much.

I would guess that they aren't making big money off of you because the majority of their players are just 25NL and .5/1 bonus whores going site to site, if they went MGR they could easily lose money by players getting more valuable gifts than PSO brings in. Just my thoughts.

No, they are not. They use MGR trackers only for their FFP (equivalent of rakeback) program.

There are several things I dislike about PSO. However, if it's one thing that any big affiliate that operates as they do would know, it's how players, on average, react to and end up playing at different sites.

They know, for instance, that at some sites just playing enough raked hands without going broke on the minimum initial deposit required to claim the PSO prize is extremely difficult for typical recruits.

I would think that they have a pretty realistic idea of the dollar value of the typical recruit and take that into consideration when deciding whether to assign CPA or MGR trackers to various promotions, when they have the option.
