Default Best Poker Bonus\'s, rake back, etc

Hello

I'm looking to make my first deposit onto an online cardroom, and am looking for the best deal(bonus's) on my money, (50$), which programs are the best to sign up for to get my rake back(how it works),which online casino's have the lowest rake, etc.....I've done research but everything looks the same with a 20% bonus here or a 100% bonus there(full tilt, why doesn't everyone play there??)...

Thank you very much

Default Full Tilt 100% why not?

why doesn't everyone just play and bonus whore full tilt with their 100% bonus? is there something I'm not seeing, because they seem pretty reputable..but they aren't mentioned in basically anyone's posts.....100% sounds a hell of a lot better than 20-50%....

The 20% bonuses people recommend take on average 450-700 raked hands to clear, which can be done in a day or so depending on how you play (I 3-table). A "raked" hand is any hand you were sitting in the game to witness, regardless of whether you were invloved. The FUll Tilt bonus not only counts exclusively the hands you are actually invlolved in, but even then only gives you a fraction of a point (most at low limits will only credit you with 1-2 cents). Because these new players are playing low limits, the Full Tilt bonus is unrealistic and the others are much easier to clear and will give much larger and faster return on investment.

Full Tilt takes forever to clear and can only be cleared easily on 1/2. The 20% Party bonuses can be cleared on .5/1 and take less than a week.

Plus why would you use up a 100% up to 600 bonus unless you could do the entire bonus?>

I like Full Tilt but the problem I ran into was limited traffic at the tables. Though played aganst Phil Ivey and a few other pros. Also the tables are not 10 but 9. Also i ran into a little bit of collusion there. Nice Software but the bonus takes forever. I would suggest NL to clear it faster
