To bw's and rakebacker's - question

[toby]

Do you keep one site just for rakeback and use no bonuses on it? Or is your volume of play so high that you can do bonuses and rakeback on that site (assume other sites are played 99% for their bonuses)

I know for Empire, bonus money is subtracted from rakeback until your balance in the rakeback account is higher than that of bonus money paid out.

So, clearing a bonus at a site with rakeback cuts into your rakeback.

I am not a particularly high volume player (darn school and work).

some people probably like to get a RB at eurobet which only has a $25 reload so they can get the full $100 bonus from empire, multi etc.

Exactly what I do.

I should have qualified what I said before. i was strictly referring to party skins.

UB & Absolute give bonus + MGR.

The only caveat is that if you play low limits ($1/$2 or lower) exclusively then your MGR and rakeback will be negative while you clear a bonus. So if you are ONLY going to play for bonuses on that site, and are ONLY going to play low limits. Don't get rakeback as you WILL lose money more money than if you had no rakeback. (ie your MGR while clearing a bonus at $0.50/1.00 is like $40.00).

Once you get the $2/4 or better.. you make more MGR clearing so your bonus is actually higher (ie $100 from bonus and $50 from rakeback while clearing)

this is not a correct argument against low limit rakeback. negative MGR does not get deducted from what the player gets in bonuses paid directly from the site. it is simply zeroed out or carried over to the next month, and then the next month, and so forth. the low limit player is NEVER penalized for having negative MGR after bonuses are paid out.

there may be no immediate benefit for a low limit player to get rakeback, but there is also no reason NOT to get it. because a player may one day play high enough volume and/or limits to generate positive MGR, they should sign up NOW without penalty, rather than regret it later.

bonus money is not substrackted from rakeback, but from the mgr on which you have rakeback.

Can you explain that further?

I'm not very well versed in RB

[wmspringer]

Say you pay $200 in rake.
You earn $100 in bonus, and you get rakeback on the remaining ($200-$100=$100)

[Smackdab]

I ALWAYS take the bonus even if I am getting rakeback. Never -EV at my limits
