This is sad.

I don't think so, I welcome the opportunity to get feedback directly from them. Here's my question:

10 players in on a hand, rake taken by site is .10, does a rakeback deal player get a percentage of the .01 he put in or was the raked amount too small? Forgive if this is too basic a question but I'm new to the whole rakeback thing.

Edit: I am not rake reduction:

The penny gets added to the player's MGR. At the end of the month, the player gets a percentage of that MGR back (his rakeback percentage). So yes, in effect, he does get a percentage of that penny back.

Why do you say that? These posts can be very useful for a person looking for a rakeback provider. Some people may be looking for a smaller affiliate with a few dozen or a few hundred players. Some people may be looking for a larger affiliate with a few thousand players. You get to know some more personal information about an affiliate that isn't listed on their webpage.

If you want to ask this affiliate about percentages, sites, policies, payment frequency, customer service, extra incentives, or anything else, here is the place to do it.

If you would like me to ask different questions, reply to the thread I started about this topic.

Ya if nothing else i can answer questions

I'm glad to hear that and I want to believe it, so maybe I misunderstood BattlePoker site when it indicates players receive rake back on "raked hands" and that those are hands that have a minimum of .25 taken from the pot, which btw, won't happen very much w/ me cause i'm at lower limits where the amount taken out is usu. around .05-.15, and only occassionally goes to .25

Do you have an offer for Party Poker yet?

#9 10-14-2005, 12:53 AM

so tell me what is so unique about the battlefield business model that they can offer such high rakeback and guarantee that it will last forver?

Oh, the answer I gave was for the majority of the major sites like Party and Skins. I have no idea how Battle Poker calculates MGR, and based on how you described it, it sounds like a 10 cent drop might not qualify for rakeback.
