one would think that if people were concerned about affiliates/rakeback, they would read that forum themselves.

slim pickens that is the best contribution to the post you can do?
i think it is necessary the sng players to give their opinion on something like that.

johnnybeef : the rakeback is not a secret i think and if you do not talk about it you only help the pokersites too make more money from the fishes which bust out faster from the rake and not from the better players. right?

Slim has contributed way more to this forum than you ever will. He made that post because your post looks like spam.

Beef was referring to the old days when you couldn't talk about rakeback at Party.

Depends on the limits you play really. Lets say you play 500 $6.50's per month for 5 months.

Stars = 3 FPP per = 1500 FPP first month. You then become Silverstar and get 50% extra every month after - 2250 FPP.

1500 x 1 + 2250 x 5 = 12,750 FPP Although you need goldstar for the bonus that's enough points for half of the $285 bonus = $142.50


FTP = $250 MGR x 6 months = $1500 rake paid * 27% = $405 rakeback.


You really have to be closer to Platinum for it to be close. In general FTP is always way better than stars for low rollers.
