Default Re: Question for you guys

If a person is already getting RB on Multipoker, are these bonuses deducted from your MGR? If so, then they're definitely not worth it to me. However, if I still got my full RB plus the bonus, then it would obviously be worthwhile.

This isn't correct. Here's why:
suppose your rakeback percentage is 100p (so if you get 25%, p = .25). Suppose your MGR for the month is M and the theoretical bonus is B.
Rakeback alone you get M*p
Rakeback plus bonus you get B+(M-B)*p = M*p + B(1-p)

Since p < 1 you are better off in the second case.

In other words no matter what rakeback percentage you have (as long as it's less than 100% obviously) you are better off getting any bonuses that come along. I'm assuming that your bonuses are subtracted from your MGR and not your rakeback earnings, which is the case for the party skins.

In this case if you get the $500 bonus and have 25% rakeback you gain $375 by doing the promotion. If you manage the full $1500 bonus your gain over rakeback alone is $1125. If you think it's not worth it then you have a lot more money than I do.
