I mean that, when I play and my rake is collected and then every week I get back whatever rakeback deal I have.

Does the pokersite pay the amount I have gathered to affiliate and then affiliate pays me. Or does the pokersite pay my rakeback to my account straight and then to affiliate whatever their cut might be.

can work both ways, depends on the setup.

^yup. need to ask your affiliate.

Make sure whoever pays u is reliable. I used to have a scumbag of an affiliate in 2008 or something who once paid me like 2 months late. IIRC he cashed pretty big in a tournament right before he finally paid me. Never played for him again after that.

I've had the same affiliate ever since then who's been super reliable. At first I played on a skin which paid him everything, out of which which he paid me the % we had agreed upon. Never once received anything late from him. I've since changed (with the same affiliate) to a different skin on the same network that pays me my share directly. Rakeback's been late, by even more than a month once or twice, so the site paying u might not always be a better option than a reliable affiliate either. In the 6 years I've played I've always received everything I've been due eventually though, but think I got pretty lucky with the first guy.

Ok, thanks for the info. I get my rakeback paid weekly. I got paid yesterday my rakeback from last week of august, so it was week late. i contacted my poker site and asked was there some problem and had to wait also their answer couple days, maybe 3 days or so. They also said that I can contact my affiliate, but I dont have my affiliates contact info anymore. He is 2+2 member, but thats all I got. I have been rakeing a lot and rakeback have been like 10BI week, so its boosts my bankroll and is amount that I care about. Do the poker sites give me that kind of info if I would ask them?
