No More Rakeback On The Merge Poker Network?

It appers that the US-friendly Merge poker network will change its rakeback policy from June 1st and any player signing up after that date will not be able to get a rakeback deal.

A representative of Merge skin RPM Poker released the news on a popular poker forum yesterday, and explained that existing RPM players would continue to get rakeback.

The Merge network, which continues to accept US players despite recent events, has seen its traffic increase by at least 60% since Black Friday (when the FBI seized the .com domains of PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, only to later hand them back to the poker companies after deals were negotiated).
