Thinking about jumping into the rakeback market

[Tea Flow]

What in your opinion are the main reasons why going direct with rooms over using PAS would be unsuccessful? Not trying to cause a rift, I'm genuinely interested as it seems as though the popular belief is that the sub-affiliate route is the only option for rakeback affiliating right now.

Is it mainly because of the added incentives like rake races and freerolls?

Automated stats, automated payments, automated referral program, free promos, and we do all the customer support.

Yes, it is the extra's, everything Alan said, although i do my own support. Plus the fact that it's pretty much easier and less hassle.

How about contributing instead of posting nothing in a rakeback relevant thread to get a rakeback link?

Sorry, im not much of a contributer, more like a lurker/reader. But i'll try to give my best in future. I can remove the link if its so disturbing tho..

The largest challenge facing rakeback operators is no secret: rapidly declining margins and brutal competition at almost every point in the market.

Starting a RB site from scratch with nothing to differentiate it from the gabillions of other sites out there seems like a tough task at best. For affiliates who have some sort of existing hook or product, adding RB might make sense, but attempting to build a player base from scratch in the current environment seems like a prohibitively difficult way to earn a living.

Re: why go with a provider instead of DIY? Good luck building a backend and handling customer support. Those tasks are better handled by a company with some scale, as they can afford attention and resources that an individual operator cannot.
