I was planning on bouncing my money from one skin to another and unlocking the bonuses. But I noticed in the Rakeback section it says "(ring rake + tournament fees) - (bonus earned out) *27%". Has anyone done the math to figure out if you're actually making any extra $ by trying to play through a bonus or not? Also, I currently receive 35% on BCP vs 27% on ACR, does the customer service/payouts outweigh the 8% rakeback difference I'd receive if I only played on BCP?

You end up getting more when on bonus.

The initial deposit bonus returns 20% of your rake and tournament fees (ignoring The Beast and Sit&Crush promotions).

So the formula is:

20% + (ring rake + tournament fees - 20%) * 27%

= 20% + 80% * 27%

= 20% + 21.6%

= 41.6%
