Guy offering RB in chat

[scotty34]

I was sitting down at a table at PP, and one of the players started spewing off to the fish about RB, and telling him how it works, trying to get him to sign up a new account etc. Now we all know that rakeback is illegal on PP. Here is part of the convo that transpired.


ScammerGuy: alright
Fish: i have added you to my list.. i will catch you when i am ready
Fish: if that is ok with you
ScammerGuy: yeah i mean
ScammerGuy: whenever you want
Fish: ok cool
ScammerGuy: im not scamming you
ScammerGuy: its real
ScammerGuy: 25 percent of your rake back every month
Fish: so what do you get out of the deal
ScammerGuy: let me put it this way, if you play 20,000 of 5/10 a month
ScammerGuy: you will get 250 back
ScammerGuy: i will get half of it
ScammerGuy: if you sign up under me
Fish: lol well i dont play anywhere near that much
ScammerGuy: we split the rake 50/50
Fish: sounds good.... i will talk to you about when i am ready
ScammerGuy: alright word
Fish: quit taking my money guys lol
Fish: lol just wanted to see em
Dealer: Go DOWN UNDER and play for a HUGE prize pool - TELEVISED EVENT. Qualify via GATEWAY tonight @ 8 - One Package Guaranteed!!! You have 15 hour(s) 17 minute(s) !
OtherGuy: TY,,,,ROOKIE
Fish: like i said... just wanted to see if ya actualy had em
ScammerGuy: nike, OtherGuy
Fish: nothing rookie about it
ScammerGuy: you want your rake back?


Is their some sort of etiquette that affiliates are supposed to follow, such as not doing crap like this? Should I send PP an email about this guy, should I post his SN here, or should I just not worry about this?

Why would you ever expect courteous behavior out of affiliates? I wouldn't let rt1 date my sister, and I /images/graemlins/heart.gif him so much. Also, he told me to tell morgant that morgant's a huge fish and he's waiting for a 1/2 HU match.

Hey Scotty

With the exception of a couple of very suspect known affiliates, I am confident that you will not find any of the affiliates listed here or on RRR, spamming the chat.

Most of us have very good relationships with the poker rooms and are under strict instructions never to spam chat rooms. If we do, we risk losing all our commission for extensive periods.

The individual in your chat will be an independent who will have so many different affiliate accounts set up that even if one gets closed down then only one player is screwed.

With the other affiliates, trying to get one new player could mena losing 4 or 5 hundred.

You could report him, he'll probably open a new account, though Party may be able to ban his IP address.
Posting his screen name here might break some anonimity rule...

so basically, let Party handle their own business and don't worry about little things like this that really don't affect me?

[Jessica1]

Hey, i hope my message didnt come across like that!
Apologies if so....

On the contrary you should worry and report things as you see fit. In effect this spammer is actually ruining you game by filling the chat with meaningless rubbish.

Players should be chatting about how bad each other's play is and calling each other names as usual...
