Rakeback negotiations question

Adding a little more to this.

If you give the .5/1 players a higher % to start with he makes more money. Therefore he has more bb's and stays in the game longer and can move up to the next level faster and generate more rake helping everyone involved.

Pay that man his money....Now.

Why give him a higher %? Why not just bankroll him. There are many affiliates who do this, they will give a player some money to play with and a reduced (0-10%) rakeback rate. A long term player will easily rake the money back to the affiliate and you dont have to deal with splitting up the profits from the player you've staked. I have a number of affiliates who do this and they do very well for themselves. Its the new 'staking'.
