Just signed up a rakeback account there but have not deposited yet. Is the 50 deposit, and 40 monthly bonus all you get as a first time player. What do you guys think of the skill level of the games? I play 1/2 to 3/6 limit, but occasionly do SNG's and tourneys. How do you like the site in general. Thanx in advance for the info.

its just the same as all of the cryptos.

and yes, the $50/$40 is what you get on signup. thereafter there's $40/month for 200 raked hands.

they do have one of the better rakeback plans of all the cryptos as far as %'s, though interpoker is close and doesn't deduct bonuses from mgr. and i believe that sun does.

edit to correct: it appears that sun might not deduct from mgr as well. at least they don't appeat to have at this point for me this month.

Thanks for the info.

I just logged in and sat down at some play money tables to get use to the software and got a pop up saying i would get 10 bucks an hour to play at a specific table. Is this normal? Does the 10 bucks an hour come out of my MGR? Also thought I saw the bet cap at 5 bets for fixed limit. I will have to get use to that. I have only played at party, stars, and pacific. Anything else that is different with the cryptos? I am mostly interested in ease of games, table selection, and primetime. Noticed more players on at 3 in the morning then at 11pm. Also can i sit at the euro tables? or am I only allowed to sit at the dollar tables?

The $10 per hour is a prop for starting up a new table. Once the table is mostly full it is stopped, so you may get $5 or so for starting a table. Not really worth it unless you like to play SH.

I signed up with CaribbeanSun / SunPoker last month.

They didn't subtract my signup bonus from my MGR but they did subtract my monthly bonus from my MGR.

the prop stuff is not worth it at all in my experience. Usually when I do it I sit at an empty table for a few minutes, nobody shows and they say they are giving me $.05
