Better options may not always be present, so there may be no place to play that is profitable at all times. I would assume that many people are like GingePoker in that they play higher live or elsewhere when games run, but it is a great place to stay sharp as the game is always available. If you are a high stakes reg you can play a few hours a week to stay sharp and have thousands of hands and scenarios to run and review. With rakeback, even if you are a small loser, you can plug your leaks against some of the better NL players in the world for very little cost, which will then allow you to crush in the bigger games you may play.
If you are a 3 bb loser, it costs you $3K to play 20k hands. Get some rakeback and you are at a lesser amount. If that causes your winrate to go up when playing hundreds of hours at 10/20 or higher then it is a worthy investment.
