Help me understand the affiliate world
I understand that there are two ways an affiliate gets money. Either a refer-a-friend type one off cash sum or a % of the rake that the player pays. Does the affiliate get to choose which method or how else is it determined?
I joined some sites before I'd realised about the whole affiliate system. I may have joined some through banner ads and one I did get a free book for joining through a website. Any way of determining what they got for me?
I suddenly have a big problem with the idea of someone getting paid for my play for the rest of my life. This strikes me as a flawed system. It's money leaving the poker economy which hurts players long term. Rakeback has problems too but for different reasons.
Thanks in advance for any help,
James
