Does Anyone Know Why ???

Hi all,
Don't know if this has been covered anywhere else but does anyone know why you can only benefit from the rake from ring games?
I'll try to explain what I mean : Sites which offer some kind of comp system like frequent player points or the "crowns" at Noble etc...even money made via affiliates all are based on the "rake" only.
Why don't poker rooms apply this to tournament play as well? Some players only play tournaments or SNG's and the "fee" for each tournament can really add up but no-one gets anything for this apart from the poker room.
If you want the extra benefit of "loyalty points" or "comp points" you can only get them via "rake" from ring games.
Some tournaments ( depending on what ones your playing ) have between $1 and $10 + fee's. I wonder how many "comp points" I would have built up over the years if this applied to fees in tourneys.
Any comments???

Hey Webmaster,

I don't know why these sites don't offer this feature, but I do know this. Ultimatebet.com and fulltilt.com do offer bonus points for your "fee" for sit-n-go's and tourney's. You can easily check how it works at their websites. I have not deposited at any of these but they explain it in their rules to clear a bonus. I may pick fulltilt for my next deposit instead of noble just because of this reason. Check into this thouroughly before depositing though as I don't have experience with it. I just read about it.
