As an example: Today I cleared the Carribean Sun $40 bonus and I generated $77.75 in rake. If I had rakeback I would've had to subtract $40 from my rakeback bringing this down to $37.75. Assuming a 25% deal I would've recieved $9.43 in rakeback instead of a $40 bonus.

Different sites/affiliates might handle it differently, and I might be wrong here, but generally I think the bonus reduces your rakeback, but you still get both.

So, bonus + reduced rakeback is still greater than bonus + nothing.

In the description you quoted from a rakeback site, the player clearing the bonus with rakeback would receive $100 bonus + $92 rakeback for $192 total.

The player without the bonus would receive $115 for rakeback.

The player without rakeback would receive $100 for the bonus.
