Empire Royal Flush Club: Free $100/month, Does it Affect Rake?
So I've been feeling prety smug about my free $100 a month from Empire (ok, I had to deposit $1,000 to get it, but that took 3 clicks), but I just realized that it might not really be free. Are they taking that out of my rakeback? Don't they do that for deposit bonuses? I never do the deposit bonuses because I figure they don't really help me since I play at a minimum 10k+ hands a month.
Can anyone help me out on this? |

Even if they affect RB, you should still do them, b/c there are no playing requirements.
Yyou should also be doing the monthly reloads -- even though they affect your rake, it's not a zero sum game: the deposit bonuses are still about twice as lucrative as getting rakeback on your play while you clear them. |

I'm pretty sure the reload bonuses are only worth it if you dont have rakeback. For example:
Say I do a $100 reload bonus and collect it all after 700 hands (cant remember if this is the right number) and only pay $35 in rake. I net $65. However, in my rakeback for the month there will be a big fat -$100 on my check, so it is only worth it if I don't have rakeback. |

Not this discussion again...
Bonuses are subtracted from your MGR. So the bonus acts as a temporary 100% rakeback. It's always better to do a bonus even if you have rakeback at that site. $500 MGR with no bonus and 25% rakeback = $125 $500 MGR with $100 bonus and 25% rakeback = $200 |
