I think FTP did a huge cut... But at least they did not change the terms for existing RB players. Thank you Bill for sharing your insights on the poker affiliate industry with us!

For me the very existence of the 'White Label' RB providers and ease at which any player with no business experience (or even website) could set up their own RB business set the alarm bells ringing...

Comments about affiliates adding value spot on too... Be interesting to see how the big sites react.

Comments about affiliates adding value spot on too…

Be interesting to see how the big sites react.
