Good luck with that one. Let me know if you find such a site, because I will sign up too!

Even if such a site exists I highly doubt anyone will tell you about it.

If you play extremely low volume on Unibet (HUD-free), you can achieve very high rakeback (in the form of bonus points that can be converted to bonuses/tickets) if you just stick with the monthly missions. But you can't make much money if you only play about 100 hands a month.
Unibet is one of the few sites that rewards low volume/low stakes players generously. Curiously, if you play there, your rakeback percentage goes down as you increase volume, until it starts going back up again at very high stakes/volume.

The new rewards system being launched on Stars next week will also benefit low volume/casual players (a bit like CardMatch does), but 50% rakeback is basically impossible in 2017.

I'm trying to get back to online poker after 3+ years. So, I ask the community (the regular players more than promoters around here) what would be my best options available for rooms/skins/sites/networks that offer rake return in cash/tourneys, decent traffic and no long delays with cash withdrawals for NL hold'em poker?

I may be slightly biased but I think that this is a great idea.

There is a Global Poker 2+2 forum so feel free to jump over there if you have any questions!

to find a decent online network/skin/poker room with:

Decent traffic for 5-6 NL hold'em tables.
Decent cashout/withdrawal process within 1-2 weeks.
Decent rake return (36-55%) in cash / tourney tickets.
Reputable software (tested for year+)
No HUD (tracking) programs allowed.

Anything closest you can think of for what I've been searching? I mean I can tolerate HUD softwares but it's harder to earn $ because games are tougher and I don't want to bleed out of $ in the long run from rake.

Why do you ask the same question over and over again? Can't you just use one of the other couple of threads you recently created on that topic?

Poker ain't going back to anything like what you are asking for (again).

I remember when I could buy High Test gasoline at $0.25 per gallon. What a splurge!

He'd probably take 55% rakeback at a site that rakes 5% over a site that rakes 2% with no rakeback

I've merged the 7 (!) different threads you've started this year in this forum, all asking slightly different versions of the same questions. And this is after you started 3 or 4 in Internet Poker - I guess you decided to try a new forum after I gave you a warning there.

You've been given lots of good answers already, and if you have any further questions you've already been linked to the appropriate threads:

You're not a special snowflake; please stop creating unneeded threads.

Such an important point that he's been told in many different ways yet fails to grasp. Rakeback doesn't matter; net rake does. Low rake with no rakeback can be better than high rake with high rakeback. And taking it a step further, higher net rake can even be better if the site is soft enough. Overall return is the most important factor in terms of player field/rake/rakeback.

Edit to add: I noticed that once I merged your 7 threads together, you had...7 posts in this thread. In future, when you ask questions either in a new thread or an existing one, you might want to consider joining the ensuing conversation. You're not going to get good results by posting questions, and then re-asking them all over again a few days/weeks/months later, rather than following up with posters that have shown a willingness to help you.

Anything good in terms of cash/rake return with decent traffic? I'm looking for at least 35% return for NL hold'em grinder.

Could you PM me a place to start playing? I'm already going to go after many criminals late in my life, so please don't recommend me a network you are working for or botting on since that will only make you end up being my target as well.

There must be one network out there that protects its REAL players from any bots, huds or other software fixing.

Honestly..

If you want to avoid "MOST" bots, you'll want to play on Pokerstars.

I'm assuming you're in the USA though? If that's the case, you're going to face bots on every site.

In regards to your question about "place to start playing", I can give you recommendations on what site is better for what format, but I'd need to know if you're into Tournaments, Cash Games or SnG's.

Kopogero, no site is immune to bots. If you want to play online, they are a part of the landscape. Adjust or play at micro stakes where botting isn't very profitable (not non-existent however) or get swallowed up.....or start your own poker network. The bots will NOT EVER disappear until the games go offline for good.

My advice to you in Canada is to find local live games and join the fun. If there is nothing available to you locally, then play Play Money tables at any of the online sites. You won't have to worry about losing to bots.
