Not only do they not respond to emails, they do NOT currently pay rakeback to newer players, or so it seems...I have spoken with 2 other players who's situation is similar to mine. Just because it says your SN is linked to them on their site, does not mean you are actually getting rakeback. Believe me, I know....

What happened to these guys? I heard Pokerlistings sold them and ever since I heard that I have been hearing complaints.

I take a 6yr+ break from poker, guess my timing was perfect! Such a mess though I don't even feel like dealing with it. Rakebrain FINALLY emailed me back, only to say "we don't know what the deal is" basically, then Carbon shortly after, saying I have just recently been approved for rakeback, when I played thousands of hands previously, under the assumption that I was linked...anyone can feel free to PM me with an affiliate that ISN'T rogue...grrrrrrr.......

Guess I could have done a little more research myself but they have been in business for a while, no??

rakebrain forwarded me to VIP players.com and they have been usEless after a couple of months oF rb they got booted from ongame, they promised to pay outstanding payment but never have.

VIPplayers.com are still offering deals at Purple Lounge and 5050poker.

Well done...

Issue has been RESOLVED....not by RAKEBRAIN mind you, but the nice folks at IMAWHALE are currently taking care of me like an affiliate should, or any business for that matter. Moral of the story: Do your homework before you sign with someone and/or a company! It will save you time, trouble, and $$$!!!

so is the consensus to stay away from these guys? I signed up with them for rakeback from Cake, and was thinking about doing the same for ACR...

Afaik ppl are not getting paid. I however do not have any accounts with them as they never responded to my repeated emails about a deal. I would stay away just based on fact you cannot get a hold of them.

same here,

they dont respond to my eMail.
but always paid me regulary. wanted to know if the continue since i have a RB deal on Celebpoker which now merged with Titan?!

any news updates?
i emailed them a couple of times now but didnt got a response.

No i have given up now.

scammers

I tried getting my RB on Cake switched from RakeBrain -> RTR... RTR said Cake wouldn't do it (not like Cake are paying US folks in a timely manner or anything?!).... I've cut my loses and am playing elsewhere now:cool

i have a cake RB account i got from rakebrain from that I havent played on in years, was thinking about going back to cake but dont know if my RB will be paid out after reading all of this stuff about rakebrain issues these days. wondering if i should try to deposit and play on there or if its safer getting rb on another revolution site from somewhere else?

Judging by the responses in this thread and other similar threads, it probably makes sense to go somewhere else. Lots of sponsored threads from fairly good affiliates here on 2p2 + the rakeback form.

Rakebrain and VIPplayers were the same group? VIPplayers.com is down or was the site veryimportantplayers.com? Rakebrain was owned by Pokerlistings. Does anyone know the story about how they changed hands and who bought them?

I also notice several rooms on the list at Rakebrain that are closed and rakeback percents on wrong on many rooms. I am thinking it is time to post a warning about them. Does anyone have details on how they got to this point?
