    i've been playing cash games ($1/$2) for the last couple of months now on Boylesports (Prima network).
    I'm dont have any rakeback deal with them so i'm wondering if i should try and get one from them....i havent seen them advertise any so i'm just wondering if i should bother?....
    has anyone tried to haggle a deal from a site that doesnt normally do them?....or are these stakes low enough that rakeback wouldnt be a significant amount anyways?

    no, rake is significent at that level. the lower the level the more rake matters to you - even pros would find it hard to beat the rake at a B&M low level limit game. dont know about prima rake back im afraid. have you tried bonuswhores.com or pokerlistings.com?

    There's no discussion about RB allowed on Boards, but just one thing that I think alot of players don't understand is that RB is not normally paid to you directly from the Site.

    RB is paid to an affiliate who refers you to a site, they then in turn, pass on a % of this to you the player. It's very similar to Refer-a-Friend promotions that most sites have. An affiliate can set up 2 different types of Affiliate scheme, (a) a set fee per real money player referred (like Refer-a-friend) or (b) being paid a % of the Rake Generated by that player (known as MGR - Monthly Generated Rake).

    In general unless you are playing at very high stakes, there's no point in haggling with the affiliates, because they are on a set rate with the Site and generally will keep about 4-8% of your RB and pass on the other 27-40% (depending on the Network).

    One thing to be careful of is the affiliate that you use, as there have been many reports of Rogue Affiliates, so only use someone that you trust or has been recommended to you by someone you trust.
