Why no rakeback if i already have an account?

That doesn't really answer the question. I wasn't asking why I can't use an affiliate, or why affiliates can't make money off of existing players. I want to know why I can't get rake rebate as a player, and why they're willing to lose me as a player because of that. I could care less whether the rebate goes through an affiliate, or if I could get this directly from the poker site itself. I just don't have that choice.

The argument that they have alreaday signed me up doesn't wash, because I don't have to keep playing with them. I can move to another site, and give them my rake money.

Assuming that Party makes less money from me when I play through one of the skins rather than them, I would think they're better off giving me back 20-25% of the rake I generate, rather than losing 100% of it. Or does Party make the same amount of money, no matter which skin I play on?
