Competitive market rate, come on, u serious?
Reasonable. They try to get as much money they want and don't care about the players.
They can do that because the players are not organized at all, not even the top pros on WPT etc.
In golf and other games the top pros is being paid for providing television coverage. In poker they have to pay themselves and contest for their own money while the WPT and
makes big bucks on television coverage.
It would be great if 100s of semipros on 2+2 could make a deal and get out and ask for the best rakeback rate and the affiliate with the best offer gets it. If he sees he can make 10000s of dollars getting 1.5% he might take that instead of not getting anything at all.
That is a working market rate.

I do know that there is a group of people planning on doing this. it's like small players' unions. whereas one person matters very little to an affiliate, if you could offer him 10 people and 200k hands a month that is pretty appealing.
