I just don't have the time to update this anymore. I have only been playing poker about 1-2 days a week, and even then it is usually just a sit and go or two

1. Is it too late for me to get rakeback at Party?
Probably not. Since you have no relationship with an affiliate it may be tough to find one at the full 25% since its now kind of being done on the down low. By that I mean PP isn't allowing it, but they still pay affiliates for bringing on new players and they have no idea what the affiliates are doing with their money. I use Rakesucks and Matt has proven to be very reliable. What ever site you use you need to ask what happens if PP turns off the individual trackers like they did before. Last time this happened most players lost their rakeback deals
1.a. If I can get rakeback at Party, will I have to create a new account?
Yes. THe latest is apparently you can do a new one under your own name as long as you have a new email address. Once you set the second one up, someone from PP will call you and ask which account should be deleted. For a while there, it was looking like we were going to have to create new accounts with someone else's name. I don't know why that changed, but I do wonder if it will backfire on us at some point making it easy for PP to pick out the RB players.
1.a.1. If I have to create a new account, will I have to find a new way to fund said account?
Yes. I'm switching to ePassport
1.a.2. If I have to create a new account, what will happen to my Pokertracker stats?
I have no idea
2. How does rakeback get added to your account? Does the affiliate transfer money to your Party account, do they paypal it to you, do they send you a check every month?
Before, on Eurobet, it went directly to our accounts. I havn't set my account up yet and I don;t know the details what it will be with PP, but I have to imagine it will be outside the system, maybe with neteller. I doubt checks would be used, they're too much work.
3. How do you calculate rakeback into your hourly rate? I generally don't include reload bonuses into my rate or bankroll, and maybe I should. I've always considered reloads to be "comps".
I consider rackback something separate. I usually use it for something fun that I normally wouldn't spend money on.
3a. Come to think of it, if you did want to consider reloads (or rakeback) as part of your hourly rate, how would you "blend" that calculation in?
My rakeback comes to about $10/hr I guess if I were to include it, I would just add it on.
4. Any good unbiased sources for rakeback info online? Any affiliates I should avoid?
Other than my affiliate I don't really know any others. On 2+2 they have an affliate/rake forum and a couple of the long time posters are affiliates.
5. (not rakeback-related question) Any sites not named above that have good 6-max limit games?
Party is the only site I know of that has the selection and the players.
