Doomdy, dont talk to any one at the tables about rakeback and outher bonuses. Look at the T and Cs of your deal, you might end up shooting yourself in the foot.
You can get both on somesites, but you gotta check if its dedutable from the bonus or not. But for a beginer rakeback even at 50% is going to be worthless and probably not eligable, and the bnuses are getting tighter now, for a NeWbi id go for a bonus that releases in small amounts.

Bingo. Roam the networks for the sign up bonuses and settle with a rakebackdeal if higher limits are reached.

Posted by doomdy: Ok, yes ur right, but... If i ask other players at rakeback at PKR they all say reload is deducted so i dont know why its not with me. Offcourse a new player allways have to sign up for rakeback and do the first deposit offer your right
(I thought you just meant me with my double rakeback thingy)
Doomdy, have the other players tried doing 99% of the bonus than finish the bonus after they're credited with the deposit/reload bonus?

For people that doesnt really know what rakeback is,
before U deposit at a room, and choose a deposit bonus, compare the rake U pay before U can actually receive the deposit bonus => U would be surprised how much U already paid to the room, before U receive your 'extra' deposit bonus money.
Rake back is more prfitable than first deposit bonuses + reload bonuses cause at rake back it is equal how much rake u pay... u will get back the percentage of your deal EVERYTIMe... when you only get sgn up bonuses + reload bonuses you have to clear at least 5000 LMAO-points before seeing any money... so if you got a bankroll choose rake-back offers... or even better: found a poker-room and offer rake-back
just remember if you play freerolls your rake will be deducted on full tilt.
if 100 people plays a 10000 freeroll your rake will be deducted 1/100 of the pricepool = 100$.thats money you wont get rakeback for, which means you pay 27$ to play in a freeroll, sounds more like a PAYroll to me
if you use your full tilt points your rake will be deducted 5$/1000 full tilt points, that site seriously sucks, they should change their name to full cheat.

Posted by Noogey: I am not ok with you ... I raked about 25 - 30$ a week in FTP, it's not a huge amount but if you play NL10, that means your bankroll is not more than 100$ so 1/3 of bankroll !!!
Rakeback is really important for me. and on full tilt, it's shared rake so if you play SS, it s really good for you
$30 rakeback a week with NL10? Wow didnt know, not bad mate Your playing more as 1 table right?
Sure I multi between 2-6 ... 2 when it worked really bad and 6 when I have luck like a pig ^^ or 4tables SNG.

rake back is quite usefull if like me you dont play often but when you do you play lots so each time i come back from a break (week or 2) theres normaly more that i left in there. I dont directly see the benifits as much as say someone who went broke but its good
Personally I know a few people gettin' over $1k/month from rakebacks so in my opinion it definitely is profitable. However it requires a long play on higher stakes (too high for me because of the bankroll and skills) so for me rakeback isn't so important at this moment.

I think its profitable, doesn't mather how much and what level you play - if you play 0.1/0.2 dollar blinds i guess you will be as happy with rakeback as the one who plays 100/200 because you get the same % back.

Yes! I think it is! If you play cash games and a lot of tables at the same time! If you after thousands of hands beame break even the rakeback will give you the profit you deserve! And that way will make you build a more solid bankroll!
It is a good way to build a bankroll in a safe way!

The rake the poker site take u get a % back and poker sites make tons of money off rake. The higher the more profitable. A 50% rakeback will get u like 50% of the rake the pokersite takes from u. For example lets say a 31$ hand has 3$ rake in it and u put in half and the guy u were against put in half that means u will get 50% of the 1.50$ u put in. At the end of a week it adds up to a lot. Ppl that play like 10$ S&G's pay something like 1$ rake and will get 50cents bak. if u play like 4 at a time and say in total u play like 50 a day that is 25$ rake back/day.
