Are you crazy not to sign up under your own affiliate?

[Scotty O]

Is it me, or not that it would be crazy for one not to sign up under your own affiliate? Thoughts?

I think they would figure that out and when they do they will cancel your affiliateness...

Good way to get your accounts closed.

Yeah it seems minor at the time but I have a friend or two that are banned from Party for life for this sort of thing--kind of lame for them. They miss certain tourneys etc.

I think another reason is that rooms have proportional payout scheme. Depending on total monthly generated revenue for all his players affiliate is getting more or less %%. So even if you create affiliate program in the name of your uncle, but still generate $1-2K of rake per month, that program will be in lowest tier of rakeback %% payout than some affiliates may give. And add reasons people provided above.

What about the buddy system? Get two people to create affiliate accounts and register under each other. Violation?
