You wont have any problems. Your allowed to have an account on multiple skins. You just can only play one client at a time any given session.

Thanks for the quick response!

I may sign up on America's Cardroom, with the Elite Benefits VIP program instead of rakeback. I used this form but haven't gotten a response yet:

1. Since it is for elite benefits not rakeback, does it matter who my affiliate is?
2. What are the possible pros and cons to each affiliate?
3. Any special tips for signing up and depositing?

Thanks, Yojimgari

For ACR, I remember they didn't used to count against RB. Has it changed now?

So if I have RB is it better to get a bonus or not or does it make a difference?

I like bc as well just sucks I get 33% on Acr rather 27%on bc

the code is REMATCH for ACR

Didnt receive any rakeback this morning...Anyone else?

Bonuses do count against RB, But they are better than RB.

Example: When you release a bonus every dollar is deducted from your total rake but you are technically getting +$.73 (@ 27% RB).

I think that is correct haha

Are you sure about this? I thought when you release a bonus dollar, it is deducted from your rake BACK not total rake...

Could WPN rep chime in?

Yeah, if you have a 20% bonus, the 20% is taken first and then you get rakeback on the remaining 80%.

For example with 27% rakeback, total rake return would be:

20% + 27% * 80% = 41.6%

(Also note that Beast and Sit&Crush fees come out first and are not counted as rake eligible for rakeback)

Oh so it is better to get a deposit bonus when you have 27% rakeback already?

I had thought that it is the same thing.

yeah, Max Cut explained it alot better than me. But regardless working on any deposit bonus is better than just straight rakeback.

You only get bonus taken off the Total rake, not your rakeback %

Yep, bonus plus rakeback will be better than just rakeback alone.

I may sign up for ACR, with elite benefits instead of rakeback. I am trying to find out what affiliate to use as my referral if I sign up.

The process people use to find an affiliate to sign up for ACR with rakeback, is this the same process that people use to find an affiliate to sign up for ACR with elite benefits?

Is it better to use affiliates that are official Two Plus Two advertising partners only? Thanks, Yojimgari

Aren't accounts automatically set to Elite Benefits when you sign up? I didn't think you needed an affiliate for that. I believe you'd need one if you want rakeback.

Is it possible to have rakeback on one skin and be on the VIP program on another? When I first signed up I asked to switch to rb because it made the most sense at the time and I didn't imagine my rake production to change much. Fast forward several months and i'm now raking enough to earn more from VIP than RB. If I open an account on a different skin can I be put on the VIP program or does the "one change per player rule" apply across skins?

You can be rakeback or VIP with or without an affiliate.

Yes.

Please answer some of my questions so I can sign up on ACR with elite benefits:

1. When I sign up on ACR with elite benefits (and will soon after that make a deposit), what is the benefit to me to using a bonus code instead of leaving it blank? (Various poker sites have different bonus codes)
2. What is the differences for me between these various codes?
3. I was told that there is no affiliate referral involved when I sign up for ACR with elite benefits, but I see some poker site with an ACR review and on that webpage it includes an affiliate referral sign up link for me to sign up on ACR with elite benefits. What is the benefit to me to signing up on ACR with elite benefits using that link, instead of just through the actual ACR program?

Thanks, Yojimgari

I answered your PM.

I would love to know who came up with the Bonus payout structure. To have it come out of rakeback is just ridiculous as it actually takes away the rakeback you would receive by playing without a bonus. I made a first deposit and got the bonus. As i release the first dollar earned i log on today and see that my rakeback is now in negative because i redeemed my bonus that im entitled to. I redeemed $1 and now have -.15 rakeback.i dont care about how much it is, just that im actually losing money from a bonus.And if iwas to wait and redeem whole bonus my rakeback would be even more in the negative. There is no way a BONUS should result in a negative outcome. I talked to support and all they said was we can remove the bonus if it affects you negatively. Just take a moment and reread that last sentence, and tell me how ludicrous that sounds. A bonus is not a really a bonus on BCP, its just rakeback on a lesser scale.

That's just their odd way of doing the short-term accounting. Keep the bonus. You end up with more money back using a bonus rather than not using it.

Thanks to WPN Rep for answering some questions in PM! I hope other people may comment also please.

1. When I sign up for ACR using elite benefits and use an affiliate as a referral, I have no benefit and there is no difference to me, compared to signing up without an affiliate as a referral.
2. When I sign up for ACR using elite benefits, and input a bonus code, I have no benefit and there is no difference to me, compared to signing up without a bonus code.

Are both of these statements correct please? Thanks, Yojimgari

So with the first deposit bonus, what is the actual dollar value of each dollar released if you are removing rakeback from the total?

I don't understand the question.

I guess I should rephrase it as, what amount do I put in HM2 for every dollar released? Like when I release a dollar from bonus, I have been putting in $1.00 under my bonus tab, but that's not really true because it is coming out of rakeback. My rakeback is set to the standard 27% but it doesn't account for any bonuses released. This leads to inflated amounts of earnings. I was curious to know what dollar amount I should put in for my bonuses to keep my rakeback + bonus amount correct.
