most sites have rakeback avail. Generally done through a RB affiliate .. Now, the only Rakeback affiliate I can think of is Bankrollmob.com - so check out their rake back section.
Now, basically, online poker rooms make their money from you paying 'rake'. Rake is either a percentage of the pot from ring games (cash games) or a fee on a SNG or tourney. For example $5 SNG might charge a 50c entry fee, that 50c is your rake.
Rakeback means you'll get some of your rake paid back to you, normally from 27% (FTP) upwards.
You most likely WILL NOT get RB as well as a no deposit bonus, so choose wisely. Although, BBP *may* do both for u
Yes, you would like to get rakeback. I started a thread/poll for a rakeback recently in the last few days so you should be able to find it quite easily and get some info. Click on the "Rakeback" at the top of the BRM site here and look at the sites that offer rakeback. Just remember you have to sign up thru the BRM link when you join a site so it can be tracked thru BRM. If you already play and have an account at one of the sitesyou may not be able to get rakeback, it's usually for first time accounts created at that site. I get rakeback at Cake atm and they don't deduct the bonus from your rakeback which is nice. So I get paid in $10 increments plus my weekly rakeback of 33% which is a nice little boost to a bankroll. Hope this helps and good luck
