We had a thread this week at
PAP that I wanted to bring over here for discussion. An affiliate was asking me earlier about working working with poker rooms that
did not do automated rakeback payments to their players. I
am not a fan of this for several reasons, one being that it hurts us all when an affiliates is dis-honest and decides not to pay their players. This happened all the time a few years ago and the rakeback market really struggled to automate things.
Now there are plenty of rooms that will pay your players for you, once a month (which sucks) and then pay you the commission left over. This is a the only way to do rakeback in my opinion.
What would be ideal is if you could get a room to do weekly rakeback payments to players so they could create more rake. Also, if players could view their accumulated rake to date for the month that would be a great incentive as well to keep them playing!
