Blondepoker rakeback??

[thachipmover]

Hi, I'm interested in signing up to the blondepoker poker room. Does anyone know whether rakeback is available through the site or affiliates? Also if there are any bonuses etc. that I are available I would love to hear about them.

thanks

blondepoker has no affliates and no rake back and no sign up bonuses this is because blondepoker would rather give you better reward for action points

I agree, wrong way to go IMO.

I don't think Blondepoker is big enough to get involved in bonus-pissing contests with much bigger poker companies. I like the fact they're trying something a bit different.

Andrew sums it up the way it is.

We are not setting our to be big, we just are not. The aim is just to have a friendly, comfy Cardroom, & if it pays the rent (the blonde running costs) then that will do nicely.

I agree that it's nice to offer Rakeback & stuff, but we just can't - & don't want - to get into that market right now.

There is an incentive deal though.

We will keep all ideas under review though, so we need the ifm's of this world, who constantly make positive & constructive suggestions,  to keep us on our toes!

Who said anything about bonus-pissing contests?
The best way to attract users is to offer a bonus, simple as that.

Or me at your table - surely that's a bonus.......?

I consider this forum a very nice version of "rakeback"

we would all be poorer if this forum wasn't around, and the poker-room is a pretty good chance to give something back/contribute to the costs of running blonde poker

Yes, it is, so what happens is that poker rooms get involved in a bonus/rakeback arms race, each trying to give a bigger bonus than the other poker rooms, each cutting their own throats to give away the future rake they may earn from the players (if the players bother to stay around - another problem with offering a bonus is you get people signing up who are only interested in the free money, you'll never see them again after that).

What a lovely thing to say - thank you, totalise.

I love you.

Well its a bowmans wide loyalty scheme, it's not like blondepoker came up with those prizes.

It's a shame that blonde management havent yet implemented any rakeback/loyaly bonus. It's the only thing keeping me from giving it a go.

I think you'll find most bonus schemes don't allow you to bugger off with more money than you started with (they are self financing).
At the end of the day in order to pay the "rent" players are required for the skin.
More players will be attracted by a bonus, some will stay some won't. Bonuses work because some stay.
