Ok so through my current RB provider I can get RB from Absolute. Since I am trying to build my roll bonus' are very attractive at the moment so I was thinking of going after the Absolute 100% match bonus. How well does this clear?
Also I am not a fan of BBJ tables to be honest, but does this extra rake generate extra player points that go toward clearing my bonus?
Cheers guys.

Where did you get RB at absolute? Do they offer that for new players?
How big is the signup bonus? I heard $750, but I can't find the website that offered that anywhere...

About 3 weeks ago I deposited $500 and am working on clearing the 100% bonus. If I am reading the T&C's right then the extra rake for the BBJ does not count towards bonus;
Quote:
*For each raked hand (minimum rake of $0.50) you play and reach the flop you will receive 1 point. 20 points clear $5 of bonus.
BBJ Rake
*We’ll collect $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked .25 or more.
|
So if I am reading this right and I win a pot that is raked between $0.25 and $0.50 I am losing $0.50 to the BBJ but do not earn diddly squat towards bonus. I would be break even if it were not for the BBJ rake and I am only in profit due to rakeback and bonus. There are non BBJ tables but they are empty alot of the time. Playing 50nl I have cleared $175 bonus so far. Not sure if I would be better off elsewhere but it is still early in my poker career and I am still learning the ropes.

deposit bonus is 100% up to 500$
For each raked hand (minimum rake of $0.50) you play and reach the flop you will receive 1 point. You will also receive 1 point for each $1 of tournament buy-in fee.
At 20 points, $5 will be transferred from your Pending Bonus account to your cash account. Money in your pending account will expire 60 days from the time it was awarded unless it has been transferred to your real money account by meeting the hands played requirements.
PM me for rakeback deal
