I need the ACR rep to answer please!
Why is it that those of us on the rakeback program get slightly screwed over when you get a first time deposit bonus?
The FTD bonus is supposed to be a bonus over and above what you receive as a non-first time user. However if you opt to be in the rakeback program you lose 5.4% of the rakeback while the bonus is still active.
The bonus is $1 per 27.5 points earned. It requires $5 raked to earn those 27.5 points which reward $1 - That's simply a 20% rakeback. So far so good.
The rakeback program offers you 27% rakeback, however they subtract any bonus money claimed from your raked total before they calculate the 27%. Simple math will show that the player is not receiving 5.4% of what they should be getting.
Real world example:
I get raked $100 today
Bonus would be $20 (20%)
Rakeback SHOULD be $27 (27%)
The total should then be $47.
However, since they subtract the bonus of $20 from the rake of $100, the 27% gets calculated on $80. This changes the results as followed:
I get raked $100 today
Bonus would be $20 (20%)
Rakeback is now 27% of $80 = $21.60 (should have been $27)
The total is now just $41.60
I lost $5.40 or 5.4% of total raked.
Can someone explain why please?
The VIP players don't get their points reduced by bonuses, why do we?
