Any room out there offering good rakeback (30% ish) from the get go and has good traffic on their 10 player regular speed SnG's (both regular and DoN's).
Microgaming has zero activity, Ipoker doesn't offer good rakeback (or do they?)
Ongame (betfair, bwin..) hate their software because i can't remove the chat part of the table
Everest offers only turbo 6 seat and lacks action
Those ''American'' rooms also have near zero activity and there is the black friday danger..
So yeah, willing to listen
------------ This being said-is there any way i can remove the chat part of their software? I am that stupid that i didn't find a way or..?
------------ The last part was for the Ongame network.

Some networks like merge (Carbon, Lock, Black Chip Poker) or the cake network (cake, adam eve, unleashed) offers rake backdeals with over 30% and more. And the software and games at merge are nice. But i don´t like the new cake software.

ya in hindsight I would have tooken rakeback deals instead of no deposit bonuses those I find are alot better in the long term lol but whod a guessed lol ahh well live and learn
Seriously - it's pretty different, you'll either love it, or hate it. The primary client is a full-3D engine - complete with animated avatars, voices, etc. They also had a 2D/Lite client - not as much fun, but easier on the PC.
The community is great and the competition is generally regarded as fairly soft.
PKR mostly cater to micro-low stakes, they have a few medium stakes offering and virtually no high stakes.

i think u'll have to make a compromise between traffic and reward program. many sites vip scheme is as good/better than rakeback for high volume players. or u can wait for fulltilt to open, maybe they'll have both

Posted by jessthehuman: PKR you can sign up to 30% RB straight away..However, the traffic isn't great for 10s SNGs (unless you're talking about DoNs).
Only problem for this is i made a PKR account some time ago and even though i haven't deposited anything yet, i am afraid i can't get the 30% rakeback from them now.. Shame..
I don't really like rooms that are accepting american players, was reading on a forum somewhere that one should be careful depositing on those sites since what happened to FullTilt etc.. I suppose smaller amounts of money is okay, you know, to give it a go but i am planning something bigger here.
As SuperNoob said, i am guessing its about choosing between. NordicBet had 30% rakeback but zero activity.
I actually don't have an account on PokerStars, but they only carry fifty50's so i will leave it alone for now.
As far as i can see, best offering so far is taking bonuses from the OnGame network. In that case you get a near 50% rakeback for two months. One example is say 600 $ of bonus being released in chunks of 120$ and you need to rake/fee 277 $ to receive those 120$.
In math that is 43.5 % rakeback straight away that lasts for two months.. After you are done-go to another Ongame room and so on..
Only problem with this is that OnGame's sick software, the chat part of it that takes up valuable space.. I have only one screen and it's 1024x768 so if i wish to play on 4 tables at once i really need to make an effort.
That being said, their timebank and disconnect protection is very good..
We should all just gather some money here and create are own poker room! And we should not be as greedy as the rest of the industry ^_^

I made the same mistake - I have RB there now.. But I had to play a lot to get it - if you talk to customer service, you can work something out.. You'll need to be raking a minimum of $500/Mth to get a deal though and more if you want a good deal / 30%.
So you're probably better off going somewhere else.. Personally - I really enjoy PKR so I eventually earn't myself a proper 30% flat RB deal.

Yeah, i understand what you are telling me. For now i will put PKR on the side. Found a way to detach the chat window at EuroPoker. Now to decide which bonus to take and than.. Let the games begin
