Hello -
I'm on pokerstars and I'm thinking of moving over to a rakeback supported poker room to take advantage of the rakeback offers they have ... but I'm a nano stakes LHE player ... like 5c/10c and 10c/20c playing maybe up to four tables at a time ... MAX.
I probably play about 3-5k hands a week.
I'm not sure if it's really worth it to me to move from PS where I'm building a sizeable database but I don't earn rakeback there ... not yet anyway.
So is it really worth it. If it's nano stakes ... is it nano rakeback? THanks.

is there a reason you posted this in all the rakeback sections here?

if the FTP rake rate is 6.66%, then FTP + rakeback vs PokerStars is a wash.
If you play FTP stakes where the rake is 5% then FTP is better.
Back in the old days when 10NL and below at FTP was raked 10% then FTP, even with rakeback, was much worse than 10NL and below as PS.
