You set up the rakeback before you set up your account so if you are already playing cash games you are too late.

I never played there and I play short 10-20 handed so if I sign up I need for it to be under a deal.. I saw some juicy games there after a buddy told me to scope them. How can I find a rake back affiliate. I checked the other sites and nobody is doing it.
Thx

Rakeback is money back from the rake you pay in a poker room. Typically a individual signs up as an affiliate to market a poker room in exchange for a commission, whether an adjusted percentage of the player's rake, or for a flat fee. Affiliates then offer to return a portion of the commision as
"rakeback." Affiliates can only offer rakeback deals to new sign-ups, not to existing player at that room.

Regarding Paradise, you need to be careful; they are known to be amongst the most "anti Rakeback" sites on the net.

This is how it usually works right now but there may be some changes soon. There might be more cases where the room gives part of the rake back directly in the future.

And to add, many rooms frown on rakeback. So any deal you pen for rakeback could change in the future if the room decides to enforce or change a rule on affiliate offers.
And descretion is the rule with rakeback. If you like getting it, don't talk about it to the card room or in the forums, in case the room makes a policy against it.
