There is an open debate about legalizing online poker so why not have one on policies and contracts in the poker industry?
You really have to have a firm grasp of how poker sites recruit players to understand their policy on Rakeback.
Without going into a long dissertation on the subject, if FTP allowed players to change their revenue model at will, they would alienate the people that control the influx of new accounts.
They can't afford that to happen, obviously. Marketing affiliates have the upper hand and it doesn't appear that will change anytime in the near future.
