Absolute Rakeback Calculation
 

I've asked this before but not had an answer.

Can any affiliate give the proper claculation formula for Absolute rake back?

Its not the usual Total Rake/Avg Players*RakeBack%

I've had e-mails from Fred at Absolute but he still cant explain his own calculations.

Appreciate any input from affiliates.

For which month of the year are you trying to verify the information?... there have been several threads on this, try doing a search.

I'm just looking for the formula that Absolute uses. I thought this forum was frequented by affiliates that offer rakeback at Absolute. None of you care to give this formula?

Before anyone mentions it, I have PT and have used Poker Grapher but according to Absolute its not the same.

I am not an affiliate there, but it wasn't hard to find this -

2.6 "Net Revenue" is calculated as the sum total of all players' contribution to all "rakes" the players were involved in while playing at Absolute Poker, minus chargebacks, rake contributions by prop players or any uncollectable revenue attributable to the Player. Moreover, a Player's contribution to the "rakes" shall be determined as the quotient obtained when dividing the actual amount of each rake to which the Player had contributed divided by the total number of players at the table at the start of the hand. So, if the rake in a hand with ten players at the table is three dollars ($3.00), each player's contribution to the rake will be thirty cents ($0.30). Looks like they used the same terms as Party.

PokerAl,

Thanks for the reply. Thats exactly what I thought it should be, but............

The following was posted on PSO's forum by Fred Roman, their affiliate manager;

Here is the way we calculated your rakeback for the month of August.

total raked hands x actual rake contribution x .275 = Rake Rebate

5606 x .07 x .275 = 107.9

Hope this clears things up for you,

Fred
