Affiliates = PIMPS

[Gregg777]

Sniper is the only person in this thread that seems to have the slightest idea of what is going on.

Poker sites have affiliate programs only as a means to direct new customers to their site. It is simply subsidized advertising.

The problem with the system is that everyone already knows about the sites. As a result, the affiliate industry is highly competitive, to the point that they give almost all of their income back to the person they signed up!

This is almost unheard of in other online affiliate programs. It only exists with poker affiliates because of the unusual circumstances.

You people calling affiliates pimps, while correct on the one hand, are completely misguided on the other. Technically we shouldn't be getting any of the rakeback, fortunately we do, so don't be too harsh.

And no, I don't have a thing to do with any rakebacks...
