However the issue for us non rakeback affiliates is that the players are the ones driving it and learning about it. It's better to be proactive about capturing some of this business than just getting pissed that the players are leaving. The Bodog solution seems like a win/win for everybody, well except the rakeback guys. I have never been a big fan of rakeback either.

Its funny if you look back say 9 months ago I was entirely against rakeback, but now I am looking into a bit more. I think I have to give players a choice at how they want to play rather than making that for them.There are bad apples in every group but it doesn't mean that all rakeback affiliates are that way.

With 20000 points I went str8 back to Bodog, without doing the simple math myself. Lol. But ok $200 is better than nothing :p Great initiative, expecially if 25000 points paid $2500 like written in the article… $250 that is.

Issues with 3rd parties (affiliates) paying players rakeback has and always will be one of the biggest debates in this industry.
