I knew about those sites. I guess I was more curios on the "25% subtracted from the MGR." Suppose you reload your account and have $200 in bonus dollars. Does that mean you essentially gain $150 out of it? Per the 25% being subtracted?

OK, rakeback digression...

Most sites (such as Party) subtract bonuses from gross rake (MGR) before paying the affiliate. That means if you raked $1000 and got a $100 bonus, the affiliate (and thus you) gets paid based on $900.

UB, however, only subtracts 25%. This is good because you'll almost always have bonus there. So if you raked $1000 and had $600 bonus, rather than getting rb% of $400 like you would on Party, you'll get rb% of $850. And if you rake $600 and earn $600 bonus, you'll still get rakeback on $450, when you would get none on most sites.

This is true of all affiliates AFAIK.

The 25% is subtracted from gross rake, not from your rakeback. So if you earn off a $200 bonus, you'd get rb% * $50 less in rakeback than if you had no bonus. With 25% rakeback you'd gain $187.50 by playing for the bonus over just using rakeback -- $200 in bonus money and $12.50 less in rakeback.
