i have rakeback with empire and it actually SUBTRACTS from your rakeback. so not only are you NOT getting rack back, you're LOSING MONEY that you already made playing earlier. Thus, this is a skip for me.

I would run your math again, assuming you did any in the first place.

uh, do you do rakeback? if not, then shut up. when you clear a bonus (at least from my rakeback site) you have a negative MGR, thus your rakeback is negative, thus you LOSE money you had made. examples of days when i cleared empire bonuses:
MGR RAKEBACK
April 04, 2005 Empire Poker $-1.71 $-.43
April 10, 2005 Empire Poker $-8.43 $-2.11
April 21, 2005 Empire Poker $-32.94 $-8.24
May 15, 2005 Empire Poker $-85.98 $-21.50

explain.

You're a fvcking moron. Either (in your case) you get repeated $100/200 bonuses, or you get $25 in rakeback a month grinding .50/1. Either way, low MGR or high, bonuses are beneficial.

I too am taking a pass on this one. For people who prefer SNG's and play the ring games only for the bonuses, this sucks big time.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, if you are an SNG player, at some point you have to just move on from the bonus whoring.
My hourly rate chasing the bonus circuit can no longer compete with my hourly rate playing SNGs. As a result, I don't play the bonuses anymore. It is a natural evolution in any players game.
If I was going to use them though, I'd probably rely on them as a subsidy while learning to play a new game.

Play SnG's at Bodog and you'll earn 2x your entry fee in bonus.

I make a little more than $40 per 1,000 hands in rakeback at Eurobet. Figuring that slightly more than half of my hands are raked, I'd need nearly 3,000 hands to make $100 with that bonus at Empire.

In essence, I'd get $20 more just doing my standard rakeback deal.

This is of course true for many players at 15X- If you don't get rakeback at Empire, do elsewhere and play at a reasonable level it's not worth it.

You're right. Free money from a Party skin sucks.

[/ QUOTE ]

It does when your rakeback deal is better. 15x blows.

What does Empire gain by requiring the play to occur in a 10 day span? The rake they earn is the same regardless, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

maybe in those 10 days you'll form an addiction and can't stop afterwards.

In case people are wondering, I did some simple math and if you play 3/6 and up and have 25% or better rakeback this isnt worth the effort at all. For people under these limits then I guess it may be.
