From 2+2 Pokerforum:
"As a long term player at Full Tilt I was first attracted to FT from Stars because of Rack back, since signing with my affiliate I have generate based on current calculations over $1000 per month in revenue to the affiliates bottom line over a number of years and I am a low volume player, but I could only imagine the amount some of their high volume players earn them per month.
Since I signed up, the best my affiliate can offer is a little weekly free roll for $100 bucks for about 10-12 players. They have offered the occasional rake race and larger free roll but nothing consistent like some other sites which I discovered since signing. If I had known of these sites would I be where I am today of course not.
I have had no issues with this site and in fact have signed through them for others poker sites even knowing there are better deals as the reporting tool is easy to understand and everything is in one place.
However the one thing that annoys me is that I have signed a life time account with this affiliate, who does little to nothing to keep me as a customers because they don’t have to. I get some pretty reports and nice web site to view to see how much rake back I have earned.
If you aren’t happy with your current phone provider you can switch, if you find a better price for your utilities you can change.
Can I change my affiliate? This answer is no and my questions is why not?
If I can get a better deal playing poker at another site I can start playing there anytime I feel like, however if there is a new affiliate throwing in a monthly bonus for being with them why am I not able to change?
As a player, there should be a period of time let’s say 12 months or 2 years, where if I am not happy with my affiliate I can change to new affiliate for the same period of time. Imagine the increase support and offers players would be getting from affiliates. Remember I am the customer and if you want my business you need to earn it, not just once but for life.
As far as I am concerned I am the customer and you as affiliates should be doing everything you can to keep me as your customer. Once I sign you can pull away your bonuses, your free rolls, you races and there is nothing that I can do about it unless I change the poker site I play at and sign through another affiliate, who can do the same to me in the future.
What keeps me playing on Full Tilt is not the affiliate it’s Full Tilt, with their promotions and incentives. Full Tilt provides me the customer support when something goes wrong, provides me the software to play poker.
So imagine if Full Tilt allowed all players to switch affiliates much like phone carriers, oh happy days.
Without the players the poker sites and your affiliate income is $0.
Afiliates are not bound to only promote Full Tilt, if your not happy go and pump your promtions into UB or Absolute. At least you have a choice to chase the site that gives you the best deal. Do I as a player have the choice to move affilates after I sign?
Give the players the flexibility to choose our affiliates after we have signed with the poker sites and you may get their support. Give us the flexiblity to change just like you the affilates do promoting other sites.
I can’t see that happening so why should the players support you?"
