-0.01$ constant rakeback balance

I have succefully implemented a rakeback deal on my exsisting full tilt poker account thanks to Full Tilt that has passed my details to rakebackpros, that they claim is their preferred partner for this service.
Each week a part of the rake that I pay is returned to my account, but it is very strange that the new balance instead of reset to a 0$ shows a negative balance of -0.01$. So I have to generate rake to bring it back to a positive amount.
If I wouldn't play for a week the negative cent will carry over to the next week and cumulate in a negative balance of -0.02 and so on.
This happens every week and I can't find an expaination for that, I read the faqs and searched all over the affiliate webpage.
I don't have any active bonus nor promotion, never register to any tournament that didn't meet the guarantee based on the number of participants, no deposit or withdraw fees, no charge backs from credit card, and never used any FTPs.
Full Tilt Poker didn't answer to me yet, does any of you has experienced the same situation and can give me a valid reason for this?

Playing in freerolls and money added private games can impact your rakeback.

It's 1c a week, do we need to answer?

If you start playing on ring games for real money you would earn Rakeback and going into plus...

This. If you play any freerolls you generate negative rake.

You signed up for rakeback because you planned on paying rake at some point,right?

Also deposit bonuses and some other types of bonus affect this too certain aspects of the Ironman stuff.

Actually the Ironman mid- and end-year bonuses are the *only* FT bonuses AFAIK that do not hit your MGR and thus affect your RB. Any other bonuses, freerolls, tourneys with overlays, and FPP purchases do come out of your RB.

From RBP's site:

Full Tilt Poker calculates the amount we receive for each player by the following calculation: Rake + Juice - Bonus - Player Added - Fees - Fraud - Used Points = Net Revenue

You get 27% of Net Revenue back as RB

Please share how you got rakeback on your existing full tilt poker account. Did you have to contact full tilt support?

Nutshell: If your FT account was opened under an affiliate and you deposited within 60 days of opening the account, then don't waste your time -- there is nothing you can do to get RB. Otherwise, if you're not tied to an affiliate, then yes you can get RB on an existing account but only through their RB site, RakeBackPros, after they review your account and approve you.

It is not hard to get. You just can't be attached to an affiliate that does not offer RB. If you are there is NO WAY you will ever get RB on that account.

See link above for more answers.

This thread make me feel a bit better about having no rakeback.

If you only play low-stakes tournaments, unless you grind immense volumes, RB isn't going to be very helpful -- you may never even get it above negative. Where it helps immensely is in cash grinding. Even (slightly) losing grinders can be profitable with RB, thus the terms "rakeback whore" and "rakeback grinder."

This once happened to me when I went on Jeopardy. I still owe them about 8000 dollars. Chuck Norris is NOT the 17th president of the United States and Butter is not one of the noble gases.
