Can somebody PM me how you got money on the site? Seems WU is the only option. I wanted to use p2p transfer via selling a gift card or w/e in the marketplace, but I think I have to be "ID verified" before I can accept a transfer. WU fees don't appeal to me if I can be up and running by the weekend, but if I can't get my ID verified by then, how did you guys deposit? Again, please PM me info. Don't post here. Thanks!

+1. Some math wiz wanna do this up?
Say you play 50nl and 100nl and average 70k hands a month.
Compare between lock/carbon/rpm.
What am i getting for a total rb% once i achieve the vip level i should be expected to achieve accounting for the previous stated stake/hand quantity.
(Include rake races or double point days that are guarenteed to be weekly/monthly. Not those that are unique and may be one time offers.)

This is going to be tough, because if you spend a little time looking at rakeback providers, there are unique offerings to each one, depending on skin. I think its safe to say, rpm, lock or carbon have similar offerings, what's going to make the difference is the rakeback provider, imho.

You need an invitation from the site (FTP or Merge Skin) in order to get an account. Email the Merge skin to see if they can get you an invitation.

After I used it once, it found it always.

1) Update to the latest version.

2) Be more specific about the issue you are having.

Hey guys, seeing as how I played on carbon for a few months on and off, I figure I could help out with RB stuff.

First of all, RB = 35%. Pretty good. It's pretty easy to find affiliates who will pay 10% in rake chases as long as you hit the $500/$1000/$2000/etc. MGR #s. Then there's carbon's on-site promotions which usually come out to somewhere between 10-20%, the higher requiring decent volume, but nothing crazy for you guys who put in decent hours. They also pretty regularly have deposit bonuses going on, that when active usually are for around 6%

So yea, all in all you can be getting anywhere from 60-70% RB. Problem used to be finding enough tables at FR to be able to get in that kind of volume, but now that every single stars+FTP reg will be grinding it out against each other, that shouldn't be a problem anymore . If I'm not feeling lazy I'll put up more concrete %s tomorrow.

gl to you all

Since this is the Micro Stakes forum, let me ask this about Merge and bonuses, RB, volume, etc. As micro players, what should we be looking for as an optimal plan to sign up with? I am not convinced that I will have the MGR to clear a large deposit bonus in time. I was climbing the limits reasonably at Stars, so my MGR was growing each month, but with a contributed method, that number will fall significantly. I guess what I am asking is: Are there any plans or recommendations geared directly toward the microstakes player?

I posted this in a thread in NVG, but it seems to fit here too....

Just out of general curiosity, are you guys that are moving taking this as somewhat of a "fresh start" and changing your screen names or trying to get one as close to what you used on Stars/Tilt?

on RPM if you play i think 3k hands at any stake they give you a 100$ bonus to clear.s

bonuses on merge clear mega slow though especially for micro players
