Right, but rakeback is always in play, not just during bonus periods. So now weigh your bonus hands vs. your overall total hands and apply that to your bonus payback. Unless you're ALWAYS clearing a bonus, then I think rakeback would be the way to go. Also, you can stay on one site and not chase other bonus promotions all over the INTARWEB.

Is rakeback only profitable for limit players? I never play more than 2 tables at a time.

I'm not sure I follow.... Why not play at the RB site when there are not bonuses to clear, but (Assuming you earn more per hand) play for the bonuses when they are available?

I forgot that the rake for 6-max capped at $2, at 10-20 6-max with a $3 max cap rakeback would be better although only slightly. I think badblood may be thinking of someone with a small roll, who doesn't have the ability to move funds quickly, or he could be thinking of sites like absolute where bonuses and rakeback occur at the same time (I think). Heres an article on rakeback from ZeeJustin if you don't feel like reading it, it basically says not having rakeback is losing you money a (potential) lot of money.

Here's a thread from 2 + 2 where this has been discussed:
I reckon that means that even when you have a rackback deal, it is still more profitable to clear a bonus when possible. If you generate less rake than the bonus, you still get the bonus. If you generate more rake than the bonus, you get the bonus plus rakeback on the difference. |

Lots of 'em
It kind of depends on how you look at it. Certainly Pokerchamps does. I’ve, ah, ‘heard’ that various affiliates over similar deals for Empire, Ultimate Bet, and many others. I’m sure somebody will send you a PM.

"Affiliates," eh? Well well well... Isn't that interesting.
Offering rakeback is against the TOC of the affiliate agreements, but I can tell you for a fact it happens all the time. How else can you explain so many people getting rakeback? PM me for a better explanation... especially if you are someone who plays a lot of online poker. Last edited by Talking Poker; 09-21-05 at 12:30 PM. |

Well...yes
 I guess I was thinking if you had to choose one over the other. |

Actually, for me...
... it worked out pretty good for me:
The two major bonus sites (IMO) are Party and Empire. Stars is too few and far between, but they are offered, and other sites seem to difficult to clear to be profitable. I get rakeback at UB and EuroBet (a Party Skin). It works out well that I am able to take advantage of Party / Empire bonuses w/out it affecting my rakeback money at the end of the month. The main problem I have w/ Party+Skins is that they do not offer $2/4 6Max. What is that about? Was that ever discussed? Fuck, that's annoying. The jump from $1/2 to $3/6 is FAR to drastic, so I'm going to have to find something in between.
