What % Rake back is fair for someone generating over 1k in rake a week?

I get 30% currently. But have been moving up in stakes and the rake I generate has tripled. I play through an agent on the popular apps. Thoughts?

30% rakeback is far more than most sites offer tbh.

depends mostly on your post rake winrate, and how high the rake is. anyway, even if the rake you generate triples, your rakeback will triple also right? so what is the problem? especially if you are at least breaking even post rake.
but I'll take great games over rakeback any day.

How high the rake, win/lose rate? If you are a massive loser, you shouldn't pay much rake, while if you are a massive winner, you should pay all of it.

I have a 7bb/100 win rate. Rake is 6% with a 4.6bb cap.

What stake is that? 4.6bb cap seems awfully high if you’re playing stakes that allow you to rake $1k/week, you must be paying 10+ bb/100.

I'd care about effective rake and game softness more than a raw rakeback %.
Unfortunately we're back to a poker arena where one's access to soft games is inherently linked to one's willingness to pay for access (whether directly through higher rake, or willingness to accept a risk of being scammed).
