Look, I just dont like the whole situation with affiliates, as Ive made it clear.
In this specific situation I signed up with this guy under the agreement I would be getting rakeback. That was the only reason I signed up through him. 888 poker knew this and decided to turn a blind eye in order to increase their player base.
Then, when it suits them they decide to cut the rake. Fair enough I guess, its their site. But I am tied to this affiliate now, if they want to end the deal they should allow me to create a new account. I certainly wont play on their site if I think the affiliate might still be profiting from my play, just out of principle, since they are no longer serving their purprose to me.
But the whole affiliate thing as a whole just irritates me. I dont want to have to sign up with an affiliate to gain the same rewards as every other player on the site. I dont want to have to waste my time dealing with and researching these third party sites/people, most of which are liars, scammers or spammers.
I just want to play poker, but Im forced to have to deal with these people because of the current setup.
