A lot of us don't play at one site often enough to make it worthwhile.

I've got accounts at Empire/Party/Intertops, and I sadly signed up without a rakeback deal, despite paying like $2,000 this month in rake.... *sigh*

I missed out on the boat big time.

Edit- and despite what tosh says, I at least only play at Party/Skins.

Ditto. I haven't played a site without clearing a bonus in about a year.

I missed out as well and play alot at party and empire.
Its very annoying. Wish there was a way to semi legitimatley change this situation. 25% of 2G a month is alot of $$.
ARGH

Hi,

I also missed the rake-back boat :-(
but I signed with the rooms directly so all of my rake
stay within the site an hopefully they will use it for promotions and other nice "for the player" stuff.

Firstly i must say i am NOT an affiliate so i am not spamming here. But for anyone who plays Party/Empire/Intertops and hasnt got a rakeback deal have you considered signing up at CoralEurobet which is another Party "skin". If you wish to PM me i can give you the details of someone who will offer you a good deal to play there.

I will repeat i am NOT an affiliate but i would like to help out anyone who doesnt get at least some of their rakeback.

As newbie forgive me for this question but what is exactly is rakeback and affiliates? How much would one have to play to make it worthwhile? And how would you go about getting rakeback, with whom, and what is considered a good amount? Are there particular sites that are better for this?
thanks

Due to the little Eurobet new signup/reload bonus a few weeks ago, I and many other people missed the rakeback boat for Coral/Eurobet too. Now, the only place that I don't have an account is MultiPoker, and it seems like they don't have any rakeback affilates.

Does Coral allow American players?

party should just drop the rake. Get rid of affiliates. That would be much simpler.

I also missed the boat, having signed to Party & skins long before I heard the term "rakeback."

Wouldn't it be possible to close one of my accounts, wait 6 months (while playing on another skin), then register a new account under a rakeback affiliate?

Yes. They have different account options depending on where you are from. Americans have accounts in USD whereas British based players have theirs in GBP.

If you define a bonus as a rake back scheme then maybe you have a point.

Personally I don't have a rake back scheme, however I almost always play with a bonus.

One thing that has always worried me about rake-back is that it might well be taxable as its not really gambling winnings. Certainly any sort of propping arrangement should be taxeable.
