Well the rake is better on GR88, but nothing else seems to be as good as it is at Carbon. I personally played at Carbon, but they no longer accept credit card deposits so I'm seeking out new sites where U.S. players can still play, but I like the site to have good options.

well since you're a cash games player, and play fl holdem i presume you play lots of rake over the time, especially if you are multi-tabling too. i would deffo go with the 35% rakeback- since it's guaranteed and paid out daily, monthly deposit bonus is nice, but you need to count here- what is bigger- clearing a monthly deposit bonus offer+ getting 10% rb or getting 35% rb...numbers don't lie

Guess you should go with the flat rakeback deal of 35%. Or how much do you get for exchanging points to cash ? As you wrote it I guess it is in addition to the 10% daily cashback.

i would stick to the best daily rakeback, which is the second option, according to what you showed us. If you play nice, and a lot, the rakeback will be extremely good for you, you will notice the difference between a low and a high rakeback, and the higher's the best. You don't count on having to deposit a lot if you intend to win, so don't matter much about deposit offers. You want to deposit once, win, withdraw a part and keep playing and winning with what you left there for future withdrawals and keep this circle alive. It can happen you have to deposit again, but only if things start running bad, and if that happens more than twice, you will start questioning keep playing there or change to another site. So go for the rakeback, it's money in your pockets!

You need to figure, how many points you gain that you can convert in cash, to make a comparison, since with the first deal you get deposit bonuses too. So you will have to estimate the % you get back from the first deal (including points cash bonuses) and then decide. In other words, you can only answer this one by yourself

Better for you is 35% rake, because you can made a lot of money from rake... if you choice 10% rake... i think is almost = 0 ... if you get $1 from $10 raked... if you take $3.5 from $10 is right... so i can tell you to choice the rakeback of 35%
