Switching sites... rakeback?

Rakeback is not all it's cracked up to be now. iPoker is full of bots and the tables are brutal for selection. Ongame now has Essence which lowers your share of rake if you are a winner and raises it if your a loser. I have a 40% deal on ONgame that nets me 30% if I am lucky. Most sites have so few tables if they have bigger rakeback.

Find a skin, or a deal and then check the site. Look at the tables and stakes you want to play after. Personally, I will move to a Party skin as soon as Bwin moves there. Rakeback be damned, the fish are there.

have you tried 888 Jyms , they grew last year and seem to have orientated themselves towards attracting depositing fish but the deals you get there are pretty crap .

good rakeback% deals are available on ipoker but no one is allowed to advertise rakeback on ipoker so finding them is a pain. coupled withthat the software is not nice , playing above 9 tables will have you timing out left right and centre .

some of the kickback deals can provide high rewards in the short term if you are happy to move from site to site.

one downside of 888/pacific (corrected) is that if you leave money on there and start playing elsewhere , after 6 months of no play they will take a % of your bankroll each month as a management fee without any emails or telling you that they are going to do it. You log back in one day and find that your funds are less than you thought should have been there or gone entirely. Theres a thread about it at 2+2.

william hill do the same , but they email you first and warn you that if you don't play they will start taking the "management" fee each month.But at least it gives you the option of playing a raked hand or withdrawing your roll.
