Wow, I think this is some of the worst advice I've ever seen in one of these threads. TruePoker?? PokerScout doesn't even track them, but their estimates show them somewhere around the 20th network - similar to Action. I could see someone trying it if they were American, but it would be pretty low on my list for non-US players. And feltstars? WTF is that??

People don't rate them high because they're shady as ****. Superusers, retroactive bonus term changes, terrible CS, huge bad beat rake. Any non-American who plays there needs to give their head a shake. Cereusly.

Do some kickback bonus whoring and see what sites you like. If you're not familiar with the term, search the Internet Bonuses forum for the term. There's lots of threads there about kickbacks.

Oh. I forgot to mention, it must offer rakeback. As that is the main reason i am looking to leave FT (didn't know about RB when i signed up their).

I would play a high enough level to get full value from their VIP system.

How about poker rooms such as Ladbrokes?? As they are predominantly a betting service, i imagine there would be more gamblers at the tables. Right?

Email FTP about rakeback and they will offer it now after account opening. You have to email and ask them specifically for Rakeback and let them know which rakeback company you want to use.

I just did this a month ago, very pissed since i asked for it a year ago and at that time they told me your out of luck.

PS: FTP customer service blows, best card room out there but their customer service is a long unfunny joke.

PKR is the most softest and also the most fun,
but if you play poker to get $$$ you should go for another room,
because you cannot multitable on PKR

but i guarantee you will laugh your head off on PKR..

It's "eat your cake and have it too". You can have it, then eat it, but you can't eat it, then have it.

OP: If you want rakeback and a good site, it's FTP and it's not even close.

Maybe I was mistaken, thought I read a lot of shady stuff about ipoker.

Even if their support is good, I dont see how they could be better than stars.

That depends on the stakes you play; for lower stakes/micro the VIP/RB is much better at iPoker and they offer more game types than Stars like 100bb min cash tables, double stack SNG, 6max DON, etc.

Wait, we're supposed to elaborate, but you don't post what games you play, what stakes you play, whether you're a US player, etc, etc...

This question gets asked tens of times every month, so I'd start by looking at existing threads and then come back and ask more specific questions if you have any. Start with the thread I'm merging this into.

Any opinions about Pokerheaven/Boss Network?

Thinking of signing up there to play in EUR instead of USD and to take advantage of their free autumn gifts. Is 36k points feasible by playing ~20k hands/month of 50NL?

The dilemna I am in is similiar to a lot of others. I got a FTP account before knowing anything about rakeback, and am now looking at other potential sites open to US players. Currently I play 10 or 25NL on a $350 bankroll (up from $100 in a month and a half). My intent is to reach 50NL by the end of the year, and I do not think it will be possible to reach a necessary bankroll for that without rakeback, which leads me to pursue other sites Furthermore, the site has to be able to support HEM.

Here is the research that I have done through mainly bonuswhores.com, as well as a few other sites:

X Pokerstars - No rakeback, HEM supported
X Fultilt - No rakeback to existing customers, HEM supported
Cereus Network - 30% rakeback, HEM supported
X Cake Poker - 33% rakeback, HEM NOT supported
X Bodog Poker - No rakeback, HEM supported
? Merge Poker Network - 30% rakeback, Could not find a definitive answer on HEM support
X True Poker - No rakeback

Unless there are any other sites out there that I missed, there are very limited options that fit the criteria. 90% of the information on the forum about Cereus is negative, which makes me skeptical of placing any money there. On the flip side, the competition seems to be lighter. Just comparing the VPIP in microstakes from Tilt to Cereus validates that.

So, am I missing anything or are my options really that limited? In my position what would you recommend doing? Thanks.
Bodog has rakeback. Go to raketherake dot com
Bodog is a good site
