Beginner's Rakeback Info needed

Thinking about signing up for rakeback deal, but have a few questions.
1. Does having a rakeback deal in place affect any bonuses that one may be eligible for in the future(for instance does it affect sign up bonuses or reload bonuses?). If so, how does it affect the bonuses? Might I be ineligible for sign up or reload bonuses if I have rakeback?
2. Can it ever be disadvantageous to have rakeback in place(this is kind of a follow on from the previous questions). Should size of bankroll or limits played at affect the decision to have a rakeback deal in place?
3. Does the rakeback deal have to be in place before an account is created?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

no, no, yes - you will have to create a new account from a new computer with a new email adddress and deposit from a new neteller yada yada.

1.) Yes, rakeback effects bonuses. No, it does not make you ineligible for bonuses. Bonuses are deducted from your MGR. MGR is how much Monthly Gross Revenue you generate, and your rakeback is a cut of that. So if you make $1000 in MGR and have a 25% deal, your payment will be $250. If you have a $400 bonus in there, your MGR is $1000-$400 = $600, and your payment is then $600*.25 = $150. So you can see it doesn't really matter, because you make more money clearing a bonus with rakeback than you would from either method alone.

2.) It is always better to have a rakeback deal. At least I'm pretty sure. If there's a situation where you will only be a =MGR player due to whoring, and that will upset your affiliate, I'm not sure what it is, and others will be able to chime in.

3.) The deal does have to be in place before you sign up.

EDIT: for clarity

Thanks for the great responses guys. That clears everything right up. So now I'm curious, which affiliate should I sign up with. I'm planning on depositing on bet365, but I don't really know which affiliates are reputable....
Any ideas?

Use one in the sticky on this forum or listed on rakerebatereview.com they are trustworthy. Being able to trust an affiliate is way more important that squeezing out an extra 2% from some person that has no reputation.

Anyone know if paidpoker.co.uk is reputable. It's the only site that I can find that offers rakeback with bet365.

Is there any reason you are looking for Bet6365 instead of another Prima site?

I have legimate affiliates other than paidpoker.co.uk that offer rakeback on Bet365 and other Prima skins.

People want rakeback at Bet365 because of the monthly 5x bonus.
