what do you think is the best thing that a poker site could offer.
As we all know there s rakeback, bonus offers , rake itself, freerolls , GTD torneys, frequency points
a lot of options available.
A lot of poker sites offer a lot of promotions.. but the most of them are worthless to me as I am a player that s only palying about 6 to 10 hours a week so I can not collect enough points for it.

I know rake is top for most players, but I like deposit bonuses myself. For example if I deposit $50 and am going to get %50 bonus on it then I get $25 more. Now usually the catch 20 to this is, you don't get that $25 all at once. Generally in $5 increments based on the amount of points one accumulates. I still like it the most!

Besides on what a site should offer, someone should taking such offers carefully. As it has been told before it depends on what do you ask from a site. If for example you are after some free money a free bankroll is good to make you started and then start moving the money around. But if you plan on playing regularly in a site then the rake back is the best option.
In your case you might not be able to clear a bonus, due to lack of time for the points needed, so i would go for a rake back, along with a deposit bonus.gl

Bigger the promotion is bigger the attention require to look carefully when deposit your money on a poker site,because theese promotions hide something fishy.I go for no deposit bonus and freerolls,new player facilities.If you want to stay on that site you should look and the rake,numbers of players,cash flowing and a lot of numbers.. Good luck

TO KEEP THE PLAYERS COMING BACK THEY SHOULD OFFER 5% CASH RETURN INTO ACCOUNT, ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR EVERY LOSING TOURNAMENT ONLY WHERE IF U DON'T CASH, SO IF U LOST $100 IN A MONTHLY CYCLE U WILL AUTO RECEIVE UR MONTHLY PERCENTAGE INTO UR ACCOUNT IT COULD BE CALLED THE 'PAYBACK' AND ONLY CAN BE USED IN THE POKER ROOM BUT ANY WINNINGS U MAKE FROM USING PAYBAK IS AVAILABLE FOR CASH OUT, SIM TO TOURNAMENT DOLLARS;
THIS WAY THEY KEEP PLAYER VOLUME AND THE PLAYER IS HAPPY AS THEY HAVE AN INCENTIVE GOOD TO PLAY, EVEN WHEN THEY LOSE, THE POKER ROOMS CAN AFFORD TO DO THIS THEY MAKE MILLIONS AS WE KNOW. EVEN THO MILLIONS WILL BE RETURNED THEY CAN HAVE A TIER MAXIMUN SAY 500 FOR THE HIGH ROLLERS LOSSES. IT CAN EVEN OUT BUT GREAT FOR ALL ON LONG RUN ESP BAD LOSING PLAYERS LIKE THE MOST ARE. GG ALLGL

It really depends what type of games are you playing really.
If you are a cash player then definately a rakeback deal would be the best for you. If you play other type of game a VIP sytem might be a better choice
cause I did never deposit to any site and I will keep it like that
