Gamesgrid Affiliate Rakeback Report

OK heres the deal. I got my anxiously awaited Rakeback report from Gamesgrid overnight. A couple of things that were realllllllly interesting. The most interesting thing to me was I had exactly 20 (count em TWENTY) gamesgrid referrals this period.

I have only been on gamesgrid since May 14th so 20 referrals in 2 weeks, very cool. THANK YOU to each person that signed up under me. I only had like 10 people contact me previous to signing up and I told I would split their rake 50/50, but if your on the list I'm still splitting with you. I am assuming that all these referrals came from people either A) reading my blog or B) reading my posts on the FCP forum.

So now onto the actual rake news. Of the 20 players that signed up with me, 11 didnt play any at all (either no action or used free chips).

From the 9 people that did play real money games 5 of those players actually had a NEGATIVE rake which means I (nor you) collected/will collect any rakeback this period. I was at first a little saddened by the negative rake then I found the positive side of it. For every 25% I am not getting back that means you are saving 75% because the house is giving you more then you are giving them. We all know that gamesgrid has some outstanding promotions with their $5000 depo bonus and VFP so if you have a negative rakeback its a really good thing from the standpoint that you 'beating the house' and we all know in the casino world that doesnt usually (ok EVER) happen.

So this leaves us with 4 players that played real money and actually earned rakeback. From the 4 people left I received a total payment of $65.61 and after my 50/50 split I get to keep $32.79 and give back $32.82. Thanks again to all the people who signed up with me. Below is a report of all the users (and there are some hilarious names!) I also am going to put below a few of the applicable Frequently Asked that I received in my affiliate report.

Players that had a positive rake and will receive some rakeback (amount in parentheses is your 50% of the 25% I received)- Dagg111 ($18.46), FloppyNuts ($9.86), Monoatomic ($3.78), xthesteinx ($0.72). Stein just so you know the mininum transfer on grid is $1 so I will add this $0.72 to your next months payment.

Players that had a negative rake - afan002, DrawOnMyNuts, ejay, JaysonWeber, theresa113

Players that had no activity - cflames, GTKID, halvey18, joeburke1217, Mall, Maxq32,
opella, rybittle, TXstateEN, wrongshui

Here are 3 good FAQ's that they put in my report ...

Q: Why are the net rakes so low?
A: This could be for many reasons. The player you referred might not have played very much or they may have chosen games with very little rake, for example. But the most likely reason is that GamesGrid Poker is offerring some exceptional promotions during our grand opening phase, and this returns most of, and sometimes more than the total rake back to our players. Players with low net rake are probably taking advantage of these promotions.

Q: Why do some players have a negative net rake?
A: The grand opening promotions that GamesGrid Poker is currently offerring return most of, and sometimes more than, the rake we collect back to our players. In many cases, these promotional payments exceed the total rake paid by a player, so their net rake is negative.

Q: How do players' net rakes go DOWN?
A: This report shows lifetime net rake for the players you refer. In some cases, a player's lifetime net rake will decrease from one month to the next for the same reason that a player might have a negative net rake.
