Re: why do some rakebacks have sliding percentage scales
 

I'm pretty new here so it's probably not my place to say, but dam this site is weird about rakeback. For all the helpful info on other things there seems to be a conspiracy to hush any talk about rakeback. I guess there must be some history I don't know about.

go take a peek at RGP. it is the future of 2+2 if affiliate deals are not prohibited. the newsgroup is forever ruined, and we were headed that way 3 months ago. you could not find many posts that were not solicitations for a rakeback affiliate. it was ugly, and the mods did what they needed to do.

Re: why do some rakebacks have sliding percentage scales
 

Technically an affiliate doesn't need to give a dollar to a player who signs up under him. Do you think other poker boards or places like poker pulse give a rake back deal? The sliding scale is because if you get a whale giving the guy a higher percentage is a better deal for him which will keep him playing at one of the skins instead of Party. If I were to get a 1 table .5/1 Party part time player or a hardcore 4 table 15/30 guy who makes more money for me potentially? Obviously you bend over backwards for the other guy no different then higherstakes casino players......

granny I think I've been very careful not to use this thread as any sort of encouragement of actual solicitation. if you think posting the results publicly would reduce the chances of keeping the 2+2 boards clutter-free, then I could offer only to distribute the information by request via PM, or set up a separate, dedicated web site that will not affect the day-to-day activities here.

i think a secondary reason for the lack of useful rakeback data from zoo veterans is that many longtime online poker players have already taken initiative to become affiliates themselves. The +EV (though highly variable) associated with being a rakeback client goes hand in hand with the +EV of being a rakeback provider, so there is some degree of conflict/interest where one is compelled to suggest that a novice player get a rakeback deal, yet not be able to specify any tangible details about them, even on his/her own personal setup.

so I will get started shortly on my project for those that care, and life goes on for those who don't.
