Thanks Ironside.

Why's it illegal on some?  If it's not mega complicated, what's the mechanics of the scheme?

some sites dont like there affilates giving out rake back

they give the rake to there affilates then the affilates give it to the players

when there is a problem the players often goto the site rather than the agent

If you're a big cash game player can work very much in your favour

Any thoughts on the best offers out there.

i take it you have to be a new member to a card room to qualify, not an existing account holder.

Thinking of opening a Pokerstars account soon.  Legal on there?

PM me if you're interested for betfair or just for any details on rakeback in general.

No rakeback at all on Stars, there is a site that reviews rakeback deals. Try googling as I'm not sure if it's polite/allowed to mention it here.

I don't want to spam, but Phil Stein has just set up a site where he gets big rakebacks for high volume players. PM if interested, or with Tikay's say-so, I can post the details
