Caribbean Sun rakeback question
 

I saw a site that offers rakeback here. I have never done rakeback anywhere. Does the rakeback in any way affect the monthly $40 for 500 hands or will I get rakeback in addition to that offer? If anyone wants to PM any other info that would be cool too...

afaik the cryptos don't deduct bonuses from the MGR used to calculate rakeback. but best to check directly with the site that is offering you the deal.

I believe that rakeback does not affect your bonuses on the cryptologic sites.

BTW, pokerplex is $50 for 300 hands :-)

Re: Caribbean Sun rakeback question
 

I have rakeback with as many of the Cryptos as possible and Caribbean Sun is the only one that I am aware of that deducts your monthly bonus from your MGR before calculating rakeback (this could be affiliate specific though).

so does this basically mean I would not get rakeback until I am done with the hands for the month???

no, it means that if you DO clear a bonus during the month, then it MAY be deducted from the revenue you've generated which your rakeback is calculated from. you only get paid rakeback once a month anyway.

also, unless you're playing high limits around the $3/6, $5/10 range and mostly shorthanded, the CS bonus is still worth more than the rakeback you'd earn in the same amount of hands. exactly how much MGR are you hoping to generate where a $40 bonus deduction is freaking you out?

i didnt say it was freaking me out, but wouldn't you want to know the best way to sign up before doing it?


EDIT: what is MGR?

I already told you the best way to know before signing up the first time I replied to you. check directly with the site that is offering you the deal. specifically, ask if bonuses are deducted from MGR. if they are and you think you can do better, then pick another affiliate, or maybe another poker site (or network in general) to get rakeback from.

So you already told me that you have no idea. Thanks.

No, he told you it depends on which affiliate you sign up under. Ask them.
