Best site for rakebacks/bonuses Best site for rakebacks/bonuses

I searched and viewed few pages and didn't find answer. So what do you think is the best site where to get all your rakebacks and bonuses (for example rakebacklovers.com)?

And why?

Best would depend on what you are looking for. It's well known that any of the rakeback sites that advertise on 2P2 are trustworthy and all offer different promotions on different poker rooms.

The rakeback percentages are capped by the poker rooms so unless a rakeback site wanted to risk losing their affiliate account you wouldn't find a higher rakeback amount on any of the different sites. The extra value is the different promotions each site will offer with those rooms to their members.

Rake races, freerolls, strategy training and software tools are the usual incentives offered by rakeback sites as promotions.

It might be best to find the poker room you wanted to play on and see which promotions each rakeback site has for that room, since the actual rakeback amount is going to be the same regardless of the rakeback site.

Hope this helps,

Sorry, my question was quite awfully placed. What I meant was:
What rakeback site offers best specialties (for your needs) among basic rakeback or bonus? Is it worthy to take all rakebacks from one site?

Your question is still hopelessly vague. You haven't said what you're looking for, what you play, how much you play, whether or not your American, what sites you like to plat at, etc, etc, etc.

I'd really suggest doing some more reading and then asking some more specific questions if you have any.

could you please run us the through the possibilities

for example

if Rake races are the most important, the best site is X because xyz

if freerolls are the the most important, .........

most people end up going for X because xyz

as beginners, it's hard for us to even know what question to ask, because we don't really know what's out there.

i am looking for one for full tilt by the way.

Also, are there any disadvantages to having a rakeback?

Even running through all those possibilities would be pretty hard to do.

My personal opinion of the best deal for FT is Cardrunners - Free HEM, 3 months of Cardrunners or Stoxpoker, and of course rakeback. I don't pay a lot of attention to freerolls; I know that Cardrunners is part of a bigger one, but there might be better ones out there.

No disadvantage to having rakeback.

thanks Bobo. it would probably be more appealing to me if i didn't have HEM already, but i will look into it.

FWIW, if you play Omaha and don't have that module yet you could use it for that.

good to know. i read in another thread that if you have rakeback, FT charges you a fee if you withdraw by check. i may have misunderstood, but isn't that a drawback?

Sigh.

They charge all sorts of fees which are deducted from your rake before they calculate your rakeback. But of course, rakeback less a few fees is better than no rakeback at all.
