Let's make some calculations. You deposit 500 euro and get 500 euro bonus and need to earn 10,000 VPP to clear. While earning 10,000 VPP you pay 1,333 euro in rake (7.5 VPP for each euro). With 10,000 VPP you get 120 euro of stellars. Assuming you are silver on average (750 VPP/month) you also made 15,000 FPPs and can buy 3 cash bonuses 40 euro each for 13,500 FPPs. Summary:
€1,333 - rake
€500 - bonus cleared
€120 - stellar bonuses
€120 - cash bonuses
740/1333 = 55%
After you clear the bonus, it depends on your volume, but it will be over 10% even with a moderate volume and can be over 50% with a high volume.
P.S. Stars doesn't get all of your €1,333 in rake. If we guess that 20% of this rake is collected for no flop hands, it's €267 tax. For the remaining €1,066 collected in post flop hands, Stars pays 26% tax which is another €277.
So your net rake during this time is €593, French government gets €544 and Stars gets €49.
Dude, do you work for the Stars or maybe you are paid to defend them here? All you do in these forums is defend the Stars, so you must have some pecuniary interest in this.
You are the only person who thinks that this rake is not ridiculous.
Your above calculations are way off and with too many assumptions, btw. There is no way you get 55% return, unless you are really a high volume player on higher stakes, and even then it won't last long.
