Problem is that if you get a "free no deposit bonus" then you can't change to rakeback later. Not without illegal multi accounting anyway.
What's the point of checking a site out, finding out that it's perfect, then not being able to play there because you need rakeback?

that seem to be the problem and unfortunatly i have a no deposit at full tilt, but would like to have rakeback cos i like this room. but ok...that was one of my first pokerrooms, and i didnt know about rakeback yet. anyways i think i didnt express my self well. i try to get information about the pokerroom before i decide rakeback or no deposit.
lets say room A has not much traffic and the graphic sucks but offers alot tournaments, then i choose no deposit. to some people its not that important, but i play poker as hobby, so visual things are important to me. i try to comply with conditions to withdraw and only play tournaments.
room B has alot traffic (things u can read in forums), user-friendly, graphic etc (by screenshots) then i choose rakeback. room B is a room i spend the most of my time at, so it has to be a wise decision

Got exactly the same problem with Full Tilt myself - I love the user interface and of course there's always plenty of traffic but I signed up with no rakeback before I knew better.
So now I just play the occasional torney there, playing cash games just doesn't make financial sense - shame really.

This may be a problem for US players, but you can play at ipoker, ongame or party. All rooms/networks with lots of traffic. So this ends up to be Full Tilts problem

Indeed I've found plenty of decent sites to play at with plenty of traffic, so it's no really a big problem, but I've yet to find a site with a better user interface.
Features like the "auto top up stack" when your below the min buy in and been able to customize the betting slider control are really nice and make multi tabling so much easier.
The table action is quite fast too allowing you to play more hands in a given time period.
I've yet to find another site that has these features but I'll manage without if I make more money elsewhere.
Definitely more of a problem to Full Tilt than me though.
