Rake Back

[mojobluesman]

I don't understand how rake back works.

I generally only play when I have some sort of bonus to work off. Usually, that means Party Poker during the reload bonuses, UB when I have some bonus dollars to work off, occasionally Absolute, and Pokerstars etc...

If I start a Rakeback situation, can I still get bonuses or do I forfeit all my reload bonuses in order to get rakes back?

At what point does it make more sense to do a rake back?

I am totally lost on this issue.
