what if you are caught in this deal will the poker room confiscate your funds? or its just the deal is off? ty

hi sorry but i am talking about under the table rakeback deals

Moving to A&R from BQ

Hey CC

The network (or room if independent) wont punish the player in any capacity as the player provides them with the yachts, fast cars and 22 year old girlfriends.

They will just punish the room itself and affiliate most likely also.
And yes you will probably lose the deal too.

Best wishes

ok ty

Hi capo-crimini121,

The only problem with under the table deals on certain networks is that they tend to be offered on the smaller and typically less reliable rooms.

As a consequence of a room offering under the table deals they can be kicked off the network and this usually leaves players in a bit of an awkward position. In certain cases players also lose their rakeback payments.

Examples of this include; Potraiser, AlfaPoker, PurpleLounge and Eurolinx.

So while they can sometimes be quite a positive thing, you should definitely shop around and do your research.

Hope this helps,

Jamie

And you can even lose your bankroll, as happened at the aforementioned Eurolinx as well as all the Tusk skins on Microgaming.

tell me how i can become one of these 'Networks'

Lol, it's pretty easy if you have a lot of money

I'm too tempted not to point this out - You don't need a network to get all that if you have a lot of money.

tell me how to get this 'lot of money'

Play high stakes poker and hope you suck out a lot.

Or just be smart, start a innovative business and make lots of money.

so (a then

how can a poker room catch you doing an under the table deal?
isn't it the poker room itself that is offering the under the table deal?

sorry, new to this shady RB deal stuff. havent played much since BF, and trying to get back into it. back in PS/FTP days it was RB and VIPP and that was it, take it or leave it

A particular room may offer a deal to certain affiliates but it will still be against the network rules. If the network finds out they can order the room to stop it or face penalties that would cost them a lot of money, including possibly being kicked off the network which has happened to several rooms (Purple lounge from microgaming recently).

It is also possible that an affiliate can give players an under the table deal that the poker room itself does not know about. If an affiliate gets a 30% rev share for example they could give players 25% extra. This extra payment would be against the rules if they don't allow rakeback but is hard to police for the poker room because it will likely be paid via a different method than on the poker site.

dont forget that some affiliates are looking for deals to bust too

Yes I forgot to mention that but it definitely happens.
