A. Who can sign up for a rakeback deal ?
These rakeback deals apply for NEW ACCOUNTS ONLY. Any attempt to close accounts or sign up under false pretenses will be considered Fraud traffic and therefore the agreement will immediately be terminated.
B. Why should we trust you as an affiliate?
We have a proven record with 100s of players/clients that are respectable posters in the highly regarded Poker Forum in internet:

C. What is the Rake?
Rake is the amount of money the casino takes out of the pot. This is how the casino makes its money. The pot needs to reach certain level before the pot is raked. Each player generates a specific amount of rake every month based on the limits he/she plays. Affiliates get paid a percentage of the rake of the player they bring into the site (typical 20% to 30%).
D. How much do I get paid?
The amount of your rakeback depends on the site, limits, number of tables and numbers of hands/hour that you play. For example, playing 2 tables for 3 hours a day at a 3/6 limit can net a player approximately $360 a month with a 25% rakeback deal. This is about $0.04 average per hand. Monthly Gross Revenue (MGR) is calculated as the sum total of all Players' contribution to all "rakes" the Players were involved while playing at the Website, less any credits, bonus or promotional amounts given to Players.
E. When do I get paid?
In General, sites pay the affiliates anywhere between the 2th to the 12th of the month. We pay our players within 1 or 2 days after receiving the payments from the sites.
F. What is the minimum amount I will get paid?
Neteller and Paypal require a minimum of $20 for member to member transfers.
G. What happens if the amount you owe me is less than $20?
We will carry over the amount from month to month until the accumulated total is $20 or more.
H. Do SnGs and tournament fees count towards the rake?
Yes, they do.
I. Do I need to play any minimum number of hands a month to receive payment?
No minimum number of hands is required.
J. What do I need to send you when I change payment method?
When you change to a new payment method (like Neteller for example), do not send the account number. All we need for Neteller and Paypal is the e-mail address.
K. Is there way to know my rakeback balance before the end of the month?
On most sites we are able to send your balance up to the date previous to your request.
L. How do I know if my rakeback is calculated correctly?
We encourage all our clients to purchase Pokertracker to keep track of the rake independently of our records. It is our understanding that the software is accurate within 1% or 2% of the actual numbers. We have some of the most sophisticated players that match their records to our payments.
M. What happens to my rake when I get a bonus?
For Party skins, the rake goes negative for the amount of the bonus. As you generate more rake equal to the bonus amount, it will become positive again. It is beneficial to get the bonus in any case.
For example:
Player A raked $500 for a month and cleared a $100 bonus. His MGR, (this is the figure his rakeback is based on) will be equal to 500-100= $400. Assuming a 20% rakeback he gets $80. Therefore, player A receives $100 from the bonus plus $80 rakeback for a total of $180.
Player B generates the same amount of rake but he does not take the bonus: $500 MGR x 20% rakeback= $100. Player A is still ahead.
Absolute Poker does not deduct bonus from the MGR.
Ultimate Bet only charges 25% of converted bonus dollars against the MGR.
