The end of rake back deals?

[Windbreaker]

It looks like Poker Now has decided to back out of affilate deals they had now. They will no longer will make payments to affilates for rake back deals. This could mean that players that were expected to get rakebacks from their affilate programs for Feburary, may now no longer get paid.

What does mean in the bigger picture? Will poker sites stop rake back deals? Does this mean there may be more bonuses to give back to the players? Or are they going to their wealth to themselves?
