Absolute Changes

[tomdemaine]

A lot of the people that will leave will have been net losers for the site or close. 9 people on a table all clearing a 10X bonus + some on rakeback = $1 per hand. You can see why they no longer want to give it out on hand raked 25c. 50c is probably about break even considering not everyone will be clearing bonus.

Agreed. I've been playing at Absolute for about 6 weeks. During that time I cleared ~500 in bonuses while paying only 400-something in rake (I don't have PT in front of me). And of course Absolute didn't even get to keep all that rake since some went back to my affiliate which in turn returned some to me.

I always wondered how Absolute could possibly afford the bonus structure they offered. Now I know: They couldn't.

They lost my business but I'm sure they're fine with that. No hard feelings.

I wonder if Absolute will lose many customers to the recent changes of the rake requirements for reload payouts?? I know of a couple of dudes who aren't playing there anymore because of it but was curious if there will be any significant impact??

The only players that will be leaving are the ones that were losing them money.
