Carbon/Merge has the bigger player pool right now.
Cakes liquidity is questionable atm, but poker listings just invested in them, and cashouts take a very long time. They have lost approx 65% of their player pool over the last year or so.
Cake's rb method is dealt at 33%- paid either weekly or monthly- cant remember- been a long time. Merge is 35% contributed paid daily to your account.
Merge's skins' promotions and rake race through affiliates add more value, with points and also bonuses, which clear slower than Cake's. At the top tier at Merge, depending on skin etc, you could be looking at 80-90% effective rb in combo with promotions.
Cake has gold cards, but the value of these things are not extraordinary as a VIP scheme.
Cake does not allow a HUD. Merge does.
Neither site hits your MGR for bonueses , rb, etc.
So, there are some differences.
Merge also offers more reload bouses than Cake.
I guess should add there is sorta a hit in regards to bonus- they clear at 6.5 points per 1.00 in rake instead of 10 points per for non rakeback players. Just want to be accurate.

Reason: points for bonus addition
