Default Effect of Bonuses on Absolute MGR

Has there been a change to the way Absolute calculates MGR? I know the general consensus is that bonuses do not effect their MGR, but when I check my stats from my affiliate every day is about $50 less than the Total Rake / Average Players Per Hand. I'm also clearing about $50 worth of bonuses a day.

from what i know they do not subtract bonuses from MGR. however, about 2 or so months ago a few affiliates were complaining that the way they calculate MGR is very 'screwy'.

Make sure you are using the latest pokertracker patch [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Pokertracker shows my MGR on Absolute as $500, Absolute tells my associate it's only $110.

So I'm in the same boat as you are.

poppa,

It may just be that absolute is slow in getting updated data to your affiliate. Not all sites provide daily updates.

Absolute provides daily updates.

My first-ever hands were played evening of 10/17. I had positive MGR in the 10/18 report to my affiliate. I continued to play and each daily report since then has shown additional MGR on my account.

Does anyone know the cutoff time that a hand must be played by to be reported the next day? Absolute is on Eastern time.

I have the PT patch for Absolute returned bets and there are no bad hands in my DB. My reported MGR seems way too low and I am unable to get even close to reconciling it with my PT stats.

Is there a possibility your affiliate is ripping you off?

From what I've read in another forum it seems that Absolute does a poor job of staying on top of it's MGR and rakeback statistics and paying when due. It seems that every month either the affiliate or the players are E-mailing Absolute to insure proper and speedy payments.

I haven't played there in a week, and the reported MGR has never caught up.

I don't plan on going back unless they fix this, as it's a tough site only made worthwhile by rakeback and bonuses.
