Stupid rakeback question

#1 10-19-2005, 04:41 PM

I am relatively new to the joys of rakeback and only get it on two of the less popular poker networks.. but was curious if it benefits sit&go/MTT types also i.e. getting back 25% of the $3 fee on a $30 tourney. Wouldn't affect me much but I do have friends who play online without rakeback that are almost exclusively sit & go types and was wondering if it would benefit them...

I don't know - I wish I could help you, though. But I do know:

There are no stupid rakeback questions, just stupid rakeback forums.

if they play 30/3s, then 25% of that 3 is 75 cents/tournament

if they play only 100/month, that's $75/month, or their cable/dsl modem plus eating out once

if they 4-table, then it's $3/set, which last 45 mins, so $4.50/hour

so if they just play 2-hours/night while watching tv, that's 9/day = $270/month, or an ipod each month

and that's not even including the roi they are getting...this is purely a $270/month bonus that they could/should be getting right now

Definately benefits STT players. 8 tabling party $30's you make $10/hr just from rakeback. Just make sure the site you're playing counts STTs and MTTs towards the MGR.

I am on prima and absolute. my buddy that plays the most is on UB (i friggin hate UB so please nobody message me offering to sign me up). what's their rakeback policy on tourneys?

I heard UB policy on tournies is no rakeback given for them, but that it might change soon. This is all a huge rumor of course, but could someone write down a list of the sites that give rakeback for tournies and the ones that give rakeback for cash games only?
