Is it just me, or has Multipoker basically figured out...

... how to give rakeback to people who have already made accounts on their site?

These bonuses are slightly better than 25% RB, and if you don't have RB at their site, this is incentive enough to play, once Party/Pokernow shut down their rakebacks.

It's a huge pain in the ass compared to RB, but still better than just grinding it out without RB or a bonus.

I think they just about compensate for Multipoker's higher rake.

[Tk79]

higher than what??

Below 5/10 just about all sites with the exception of Action Poker and of course pokerroom.com.

Umm, actually Party's rake structure is definately in the top half of rake structures at 2/4 level. UB is MUCH MUCH higher as an example.

Sorry maybe I overstated. Below is my best guess of the average rake in dollars per hand per player at a 9 player table at various sites at, at various limits. Apart from $1/$2 Party is not so bad. (Not completely sure about Cryptologic, could not find a rake table anywhere, and Email exchanges with support at a couple skins of just led to frustration, so I have tried to work it out from my Poker Tracker data, guessed TribeceaNet’s 15/30 rake as well.) I would be interested if you think I have goofed anywhere. Ralative values should be more accurate than absolute values.

Edit: 24hr is in Euros so not as good as it appears. Also this if for limit holdem games, no idea about No limit.

I like it a lot better than rakeback. It gives me incentive to put in more hours, something that is nearly impossible now adays. Also you get your money as soon as it's cleared rather than a month down the road. Great system, for me anyway.

I feel the same way. Anything that can get me to commit to playing 40k+ hands a month is a good thing.

[/ QUOTE ]Thats a good point. If you add rakeback on top if it its a hell of a deal.
