Well while bonus is deducted from MGR and may in some situations amount to 100% rakeback in many cases it has a slower unlock rate than the rate at which you rake.

Ie. lets say it takes 1000 hands to clear a bonus of $100 but you spend 500 hands clearing the bonus but give 500 hands away. Then rakeback would kick in for those additional 500 hands.

None of the big bonus systems are designed to let the poker room go +/- profit over time. Especially since all the transactions via VISA / Neteller etc cost the sites money which has to come from somewhere. They also give away a certain % of their revenue to affiliates / network operators so it wouldnt make sense that way [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
