Can you get an affiliate rakeback through Stars?

Stars doesn't pay its affiliates a percentage of the rake, thus the affiliates can't give you a percentage of the rake.

There is not, and never has been, rakeback at Stars.

I find this hard to believe, unless you're listening to some really silly people.

From Pokerstars affilate program:

PokerStars does not offer any form of shared revenue (percentage of the
rake) nor do we intend to at this time. If this policy is reversed,
notification will be submitted accordingly. To qualify, a player you refer
must earn 100 Frequent Player Points, which is easy to do by participating
in a minimal amount of raked hands (it typically takes less than 2 hours).

Please note that PokerStars does not support sites that offer direct
incentives to their users. Due to our privacy policy and other concerns, we
do not reveal the names of players who sign up under your affiliate code.
This policy makes it difficult if not impossible for affiliate sites to
offer direct compensation and we recommend that you choose an alternative
method of attracting new customers to our site.

I've never once seen conflicting reports on Stars rakeback. Whomever you're listening to is an idiot. Use the search, it's been discussed many times in here.
