AP/UB bonus clarification

[Keyser112]

UB/AP Bonus changes.

Ok after sending a few emails back and forth with a representative for AP's bonus/rakeback this is the current situation:

Hello XXXXXXXXXx,

Thank you for your e-mail.

We kindly inform you that our Affiliates Department deducts bonuses to your Affiliate only from the Bonus Dollars that you release, let's say you deposit $100 and receive a 100% Reload ($100 Bonus Dollars), at this point there are no deductions, but if you release $50 Bonus Dollars to your Real Money balance, your affiliate will be deducted the 50% of that amount ($25 USD).

We suggest you to get in touch with your affiliate to determine the exact percentage they deduct from Bonuses released.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything else we can do for you.

Best regards,
XXXXXXX

So basically I am asking the friendly people at Rakeback.com if this is the case.
If I deposit $100 on AP, then work off my bonus money from the bonus account, what will be deducted from my rakeback money? 50% = $50?

So in this case it IS to my advantage to utilize these reload bonuses, right?

Hello Keyser112,

50% of your released bonus will be deducted. If you will release $100 to your Real Money balance $50 will be deducted from your Net Rake. Here is the formula: (Net Rake * 30%)- (0.5 *bonus)= rakeback. So lets say you generated $200 in Net Rake and you release the 100$ bonus. ($200*0.3)-(0.5*$100)=$60-$50=$10. So you will get $10 of rakeback.

So in this case it IS to my advantage to utilize these reload bonuses, right?

Yes. Even if it affects your rakeback. Rakeback is more a long term thing. You get your $100 bonus and you will be playing with this money and it means that you will be generating rakeback again which will be paid back to you.
