| How can any claim all is going fine and there is no change needed inside the network? There are a bit over 200 real ring game players at low times and sometime no games above 0.25/0.5. The network is almost entirelly almost USA targeted, apart from the nordica guys who are after the danish/scandinavian market. |
The change needed inside the network will not just be for rakeback. If you are saying thsi is what needs to happen than clearly you yourself have not spent much time playing on it. A 30% rakeback means nothing when other sites can offer more. The network needs to offer more competitive GP's, bigger tournaments, better bonuses etc. The $50 K freerolls and all the others that follow suit are not in my opinon an eye catcher or a reason to download and start playing they are donk fests. Rakeback is not going to cut it, it needs to be changed within the site itself and what they have to offer, not turning around and opening a new one and saying ok go get em boys. I love the software, and is probably one of the best out there next to PS but it's problems that are lying within. They need to work on being as competitive in the market as the other sites. Damn look at Cake, who is still very low key. 6 mths ago they had very limited players on line. LOL I waited 20 min for a sit n go than left becasue I wasn't waiting anymore. They are always changing and revolving and yes they offer rakeback which is fine. But you cant tell me that the rakeback has brought the players they have now. No it's called revamping to improve and always doing so, good affiliates who keep updating tehir sites to show thier visitors hey look what they are doing etc....Rakeback is not a long term solution.

| Does anyone think we are going after the 0.05$ players to give them rake back? No, we are only into generating high limit action and you will see the effect in less than 6 months. |
So affiliates who do not offer rakeback only want the low limit players, no we want all players at all levels. I think every affiliates out there wants high action players. That's ok you have reassured me that I will be able to keep my low limit players

| As for those claiming loosing players or affiliates, does any of you can show me any poker room/network that completelly prohibits rake back apart from the top 2 rooms out there who doesn't really need this to generate good action. Please do not mention that networks that do rakeback but call it VIP (ipoker, ongame.....) |
I dont have an issue with rakeback when it is done fairly. But when I go to major forums and see garbage about a new skin and go get this bonus or go get this rakeback it really pisses me off ( especially coming right off the poker.com forum). These players belong to someone. I have already done a search and seen the amount of people who are now pushing this site, and it is really sad when an AM tells an affiliate no you can't use this promo that could bring in more players becasue you are tracking rake for points and offering 1 monthly prize for most points yet you can go out and push the hell out of your skin and take the player, especially when I have been told under no certain circumstances is rakeback allowed. highrollers and offer this they will leave, so how is that ethical when they already belong to someone. I am sure a few others on here who do really well with this network will agree with me that this should have been handled another way

| As some of you agree, prohibition doesn't work so is better to be regulated(30% cap) |
This has nothing to do with prohibition, first I think the AM's should have come to the affiliates and said look there are some new skins opening up, some with rakeback blah blah blah. Not one word was mentioned. I found the info out at the Poker.com forum, which by the way is now missing all the threads. All they could talk about was jumping ship to get the new bonuses, freerolls etc, which is why I posted here. The Am's new this room was in the near furture because the mods ahd told the forum members to keep an eye out for it. So why isnt info like this passed on to the other affiliates?
Like I said before players should not be able to open up accounts with every skin on the network, and if they can than each player should always be tracked to the original affiliate. I do hope an Am comes along and clears this up. Either way I am really annoyed at this entire situation, this thread, and lack of info ......again!
