finding rakeback players to buy?

[cardshark]

how is this done normally, kinda tossing a few ideas around for growing my affiliate business and this subjest came up. any tips would be very helpful.

I don't get it. If someone has good rakeback players why would they sell their information? The only way I think you could potentially "buy" rakeback players is buy advertising on various sites, or buying someone's existing rakeback affiliate account.

what i was meaning is how one would go about buying players from another affiliate, for example an affiliate needs money now for bills and wants to sell some players off, whether they be smalltime earners or big ones matters not. yes buying a whole affiliate account could be part of what im asking, i was just wondering about buying/selling individual players or groups of them and not whole accounts. but thank you i would also be interested in how whole accounts are sold/transfered to a different affiliate as well.

edit: im basically wondering about an affiliate maybe skimming some players off the bottom (low dollar earners) of their account to streamline their member load so to speak, but it could apply to the value of a high dollar earner as well i guess

I really doubt many affiliate departments would allow or offer these kinds of services as they would have to manually move these players but I guess it could be possible. I just think it would be very difficult to find someone who would want to get rid of some players then negotiating a reasonable price for them afterwards. But maybe someone here has done something like that?

As for how to buy an affiliate account, simply make a post in the Buy and Sell section saying you are looking to buy affiliate accounts with rakeback players.

You only can buy and sell affiliate accounts to get the players. You can't just buy a single player from someone. It just doesn't work that way.

ok so its whole accounts or nothing, thank you kushmoney that was basically what i was looking for.

edit: does the purchased account get integrated into mine or does it stay as is and i have to manage them seperately?

ok so its whole accounts or nothing, thank you kushmoney that was basically what i was looking for.

Yeah, thats how it goes. If you have skype add me. I see you have many questions and I have no problem helping.

[Graham]

I disagree that it is accounts or nothing. I doubt it is ever done and would be hard to find someone to do it, but I don't think it is IMPOSSIBLE. I am sure it could be possible with some sites, but I guarantee you would need to have a very good relationship with your affiliate manager and you would probably have to compensate them for their time.

yeah i see what you are talking about a whole account is much easier for the network to transfer so they will do that for you but it may take some pull and compensation to run down the names and change them over 1 at a time, and it would have to be one at a time too im sure and would have no way of doing a whole block out of an account with any ease, so im sure that with low dollar earners it would probably be very cost prohibitive to even attempt it. well maybe someday i could have enough pull/make them enough to be able to pull something like this off.

I gave you a reply about a week ago with some issues about your site which would of fixed them 100% and I see neither is done.. And now your on about buying players and what-not (btw you buy there sites and all so you have to 301 and all of that) I suggest you take Kush up on his offer and try not to run so fast.
