Deposited money for a specific time period (ie: reporting year) does not equal all the money on the site, in fact it likely represents a small percentage of all the money "in play" on the site at any one time. A lot of players who consistently win never or rarely deposit, as they are taking money out of the system, and definitely a chunk of the deposited money is going there as well.
Go back in time some and many would move the same money with cashouts and deposits for bonuses within the sites (and later on and currently with e-wallet rewards) - so the pure deposit number is not entirely an accurate one as well. Other money is added to the site by the different promotions the rooms run as well as any tournament overlays and rakeback style rewards (granted smaller these days, but still something), so "player deposits" is not the only way new money is introduced to the poker economy.
Not expecting any of this to change your outlook - just pointing out how you are misunderstanding some of the basic data you are presenting. If they represent that rake gets 90% of deposits to their shareholders then that is a fairly standard approach many companies use of having stats that let people believe something (for shareholders the financial health of the company, for you some riggie whatever) that is not entirely accurate, so your 1 in 100 make money conclusion is based on data you misinterpreted, and is clearly not correct. In future take some time to really look at and understand the stats they are presenting, and then dismiss them as you tend to do to get to the end belief you want
.
All the best.
