Default thats how all forums / affiliates work

hi

thats how all affiliate sites / rakeback / forums work

basically a small % of forums membership generate income from a small percentage of the rake assigned to the affiliate / site which a player signs up under

that small percentage of members supports all the funding for tournies etc that all the rest of the forums members enjoy

all the poker sites you see online depend on affiliate income from the poker rooms to survive / profit / cover costs etc

whether its a rakeback site or a normal affiliate site - basically the affiliate (forum owner / site owner) gets a % of the poker room's rake on that specific player who signed up to the poker room via the affiliates bonus code / link / banner

with rakeback the affiliate gives a % of their own profits to the player as "rakeback" alot of poker room don't allow this - alot of rakeback affiliates do it anyway - some have agreed deals with the poker sites.

on the specific site mentioned - I hope that the original poster has no affiliation to this site as they are effectively 4kingpoker's competition and I don't allow (as others don't on their forums) promotion of other affiliate sites here

cheers scrawnybob
