rakeback site question

[alextam]

so,i wanna add rakeback section on my site,i noticed that the top rakeback site have a feature that people can track their rakeback stats.
my question is how does this work?does the poker room provide API?or there is something i dont know inside it?

any idea?

Many of the more successful rakeback sites have rake races. In the case of these rake races, either the poker room themselves - or a provider of a rakeback platform, which encompasses multiple poker rooms under one umbrella for the purposes of rakeback (referral upon request - pm me if interested) push out the standings for the respective rake races. Of course, this allows the customers to track their stats daily, as well as to see where they stand in the rake races.

I think that answers your question...

hardly.

most sites provide rake info, usually updated daily via XML Feed to rakeback providers. you can parse and serve the data to your players.

Hi,

Just wanted to add that most Rakeback websites have a tracking method within the program so that you can view stats. This is normally updated daily as pauljones stated above.

did you just twitter reference people? Anyhow, thanks for the clarification @RedStarPoker. My question is do you get info on your total player rakeback or is it broken down by player?

[RedStarPoker]

Hi everyone,

The information provided is broken down by player so you will be able to view each player’s performance. This will include a total view of the following;

Hands Played, Deposits, Total Rake, Deposit and Promotional Fee's.

This provides you with full activity report from each player.

I think you might want to change that to "Mr. Gripe"
