You're running out of sites that Americans can join.

It seems like Cake is the most popular site that you haven't listed. Personally I haven't played there in a while, but they do offer 30% rakeback and have decent volume compared to the smaller sites. Rakeback is huge even if you don't put in a ton of volume. It's basically getting money that you otherwise wouldn't have got each month. Good deal.

The only problem with Cake is that even the NL10 games can be rock fests at times. Once you get to NL50, it is extremely rare to see a table that has a player to flop % over 25%. Many are under 20% which is just too tight...I've eeven seen some with less than 10%- I mean that is basically a table full of people just sitting there and folding pre flop with the blinds taking all the money!

Good site but the games are ruined with the 33% dealt RB because the tables are just littered with multitabling rocks who just aim to breake even to earn off RB.

Get money in good preflop and value value value. Lots of folders but you make your money off preflop bets and c-bets. Rakeback is the shizz and BTW you dont need a depo bonus code, its 110% automatically. YOU DO however need a Rakeback code, search google and good luck.

P.S. Is it possible you locked your PS account for a reason?

try carbonpoker.com, im clearing a few bonuses there. They do not allow Hud software, but the low stakes games are redic. ez have 30% rakeback, and have the same deposit bonus as FTP (100% match up to 600 bucks).

They don't have a 3/4 pot bet button but took the time to fit in 1/4 pot and 1/2 pot features...surely the most common bet is the 3/4 pot bet?

But the daily RB is good.

Only thing that sucks about cake, carbon, etc. is that they don't do e-checks, so you have to go through some taxing site to get your money in.

Also for some weird reason, cake doesn't allow you to withdraw (Or get a check or whatever) for less than 500.00

I've been searching for another site that does rakeback/US players. But until one of these other sites gets a decent transfer system, I'll stick to stars I guess.

I went through ThisIsTheNuts.com and signed up for Cake. Love the dealt rakeback method since I am pretty TAGgy. They drop your rb back into your account at the first of each month. Getting ready to do my first cashout this week, will try to remember to post how it goes. Hopefully to God, smoothly. $35 fee on the check, but that comes out to less than the vig some of those online banking sites take so I'm not worried about it.
